　　Why It Matters: The recent focus on thinness is a significant shift for Apple, which has faced criticism in the past for prioritizing thinness over durability and functionality.

　　However, Apples success in creating thin devices that also offer strong performance and battery life could mark a turning point for the company. If Apple can maintain this balance, it may be able to meet consumer demand for sleek, futuristic devices without compromising on durability and functionality.
