“Phones have been thinner than this and the tech that Apple are using now already exists in many phones”
fails to provide even a single example
If you follow the phone market, then there's lots of phones that have new technologies before Apple. That's always been the case.
If you want a thin flagship example that you couldn't find yourself, then the Galaxy S25 Edge, is 5.8mm, with a smaller camera bump, better main camera, plus an ultrawide, is lighter, has more SIM support, higher resolution and brighter display, USB 3, bigger battery and faster charging.
The iPhone Air is not astonishing at all.
You’ll notice that 5.8 is not in fact thinner than 5.6. I rest my case
The vivo X5Max was 4.8 mm, the Moto Z was 5.19mm thick, also bonus, the S25 Edge is actually 0.7mm thinner than the iPhone Air if you measure at the camera. But why are you being dense? Nobody is arguing the thinness, but that it's not an astonishing engineering feat.
X5Max: 11 years old. Moto Z: 9 years old. These phones are not modern, they do not hold a candle to the processing density that apple has achieved. You are being dense for the sake of dismissing a genuinely impressive engineering feat
Ahh, so it was about the SoC and that is somehow being loosely related to the thinness of the main body of the phone?
You'd do a lot better in discussion if you made your points clear from the get go instead of being hellbent on trying to validate yourself. Good luck out there!
No it was about refuting all your points which I succeeded in. You cannot shift the goalposts that is a logical fallacy
