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?
