Apple's newest products, including the iPhone 11 and 16-inch MacBook Pro are thicker than earlier models as Apple puts function over form, a change that may have occurred after the departure of Jony Ive.

, the abundance of glass at Apple's new HQ, designed by Ive, was causing people to reportedly walk into windows.)

Then there's the 16-inch MacBook Pro that was announced on Wednesday. It's less than 1mm thicker than the 15-inch MacBook Pro that it replaces, and it weighs 4.3 lbs instead of 4.0 lbs like the prior model. It's 2% larger than the 15-inch MacBook Pro, too.

Ive probably had a hand in some of these products, since Apple typically develops them over a long period of time and his departure was only announced last June. But, without Ive, who was said to be more withdrawn toward the end of his time at Apple, perhaps the company's design teams had a bit more freedom to make gadgets a bit thicker than before, instead of focusing on thinness and external beauty.
