Why? Phones have been thin enough for a long time that you have to put them in a case just to get a good grip.

I want an iPhone with a larger battery so it doesn’t have the stupid camera bulge.

Longer life and doesn’t rock when I text on a surface.

And I can repair when it breaks.

doesn’t rock when I text on a surface.

I mean, I agree with you on the battery life being desirable, but purely in terms of addressing the rocking, does putting it in a rigid case resolve that?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

It makes the phone bigger without extra battery life so what’s the point?

I’ve actually never ran a case on my phones just a screen protector.

When Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart says they are serious, then you better believe that Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart is being serious and take it seriously!

Actually, they've been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Exactly. I’m still on my 11pro for this reason, already had to replace the battery. I got the 15 as a work phone, it feels very large in comparison, I’m not a fan.

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.

Because we need to keep innovating?
