Every cubic millimeter is precious... because we make our phones so thin that you end up buying a protective case to add some heft since it's so thin it wants to slip out of your fingers. Then you also buy a portable battery to top off when that super thin battery runs dry in the early evening. Would it be really so bad if someone made a smartphone that was ~2x as thick as an iPhone, with added battery life and usability? Unfortunately, it's in these companies best interest to push a new phone every year, regardless of if the new features justify the added cost... or are even features.
