: Doesn't seem to be any reporting stating that the new 3G version is any different size wise then the old iPHONE

shouldnt the settlement be based on reports by apple inc. rather than a 3rd party such as gizmodo?

@autotom - the only article I saw said it was thinner. Where did you see thicker? Feel free to send in a settlement request if you have a source to reference.

The old iphone has a thickness of 0.46 inches; http://support.apple.com/specs/iphone/iPhone.html
The new iphone 3G has a thickness of 0.48 inches; http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

It appears that the new iphone is slightly thicker.

your right mork, so why did it settle as the same thickness? becuase of a lack of news?

I think that's silly, no one is going to mention 1/50 of an inch thickness difference but it's right there on the specs page. On the other hand i guess this is primarily to guess the events in the news eh?
