The term "premium-feeling" does a lot of heavy lifting in that paragraph, one might almost say that it's a bit subjective.
It's true though. I've become very accustomed to the premium experience of being forced to use premium apps and services that don't work half the time in a very premium manner.
I think it would be pretty premium if I could have a spare battery on the charger for a quick swap rather than relying on a cable to charge my phone.
Move over 2010. Who uses a cable?
I do? And most people I know?
What they really mean is "very slightly thinner than the previous generation or current rival because we think that's a super marketable thing still even though we've reached the practical limit where it no longer makes sense to go thinner."
Meanwhile the phone can't lie flat on its back because the camera protrudes.
Solution: add phonecase! Or just have better (and slightly bigger) internals to make backside level...
