Do you actually care about slimmer smartphones?

It's a weird time for the smartphone industry. After reaching "peak smartphone" in the tail end of last decade — when the vast majority of devices evolved from emerging, exciting gadgets into reliable appliances — we've watched as brand after brand has attempted to find the one thing that could convince users to upgrade. Foldables might've made a big splash, but all that noise hasn't exactly converted into sales, and with the vast majority of phones now virtually indistinguishable from each other, it's obvious that OEMs are looking for something — anything — to freshen things up.
