Hmm, I’m not convinced that making the thinnest iPhone ever is their priority. The newest iPhone is a tad thicker than the previous year and I personally think that a better battery should be the priority over a thinner phone. That’s just me though. I believe their are other waterproof phones on the market. Do these have regular headphone jacks. My philosophy is not to stress about it because rumors and speculation are just that. I guess only time will tell what apple’s “secret” plans are. :)
