Apple is screwing up the design of the iPhone 7 by making is so think there's no room for the 3.5mm headphone jack. Also, by making devices thinner, the battery has to be smaller hence the Oasis. I'd prefer a thicker device that's easier to hold and can hold a larger capacity battery.

Also, if by making it thinner, we have to lose some features, then leave it thicker.
