According to Engadget, the new iPhone is slightly thicker than the old one. Now, we’re talking about .7mm, so it’s not something that is going to make a difference in real-world usage. I just think it’s interesting that it’s thicker, considering that Steve Jobs apparently said it was thinner during the keynote today, where it was introduced.

Yeah, a little thicker than the original…but still very slim compared to most of it’s spec-for-spec rivals.
I’ve never been so tempted by an Apple Mac product before today… ;) I’ve held out on getting an iPhone so far because I knew this one was on the way (cost has held me back too)…and there isn’t a phone on the market that will come close to it on July 11th.

Well, he said it’s thinner at the edges. (:

Is that what he said? That explains it. I didn’t actually watch the keynote, but whatever live blog I was reading at the time just said something like, “Steve says the iPhone 3G is thinner than the original.”
