    @worfamerryman “We want to have thin phones” is no longer a valid argument manufacturers can come up with when the cameras keep sticking out so much, in my opinion at least.

      Great point! My current case is just thick enough to make the camera sit flush with the back, so I hardly think about it.

      The question is which idiot in the press (or anywhere else for that matter) decided that it was acceptable to measure the thickness of a phone in any other way than as the minimum distance between two parallel planes such that the phone fits between them?
