Squeezing down the slender iPad Air from 7.5mm to 6.1mm wowed folks watching the iPad Air 2's launch event last October and the difference is obvious when you hold it. That's not the biggest boon when it comes to the increasingly compact full-size iPad, t...
Smartphone and tablet vendors seem to be locked in an arms race to build the thinnest possible devices at the moment, with the current thinnest smartphone — the Oppo R5 — being so skeletal at 4.85mm that it can't even accommodate a 3.5mm audio jack. Apple...
