I'm super curious to see how big the market is for a slightly slimmer phone with a battery that won't make it through the whole day.

I think it didn't work out well for Samsung... so i guess, not a big market? Phones are already super thin... why not make a (slightly) thicker one and put a massive battery, better cooling system, headphone jack and whatnot in it?
if you want longer battery life you can add a battery pack, but you can't go backwards to make a slimmer phone if that's what you prefer.
That's certainly what I'd prefer.
