That's not a reasonable reply though. Thicker phones were made and they flopped in the market. I'd be happier if software updates did not screw up battery life

I'd be happier if software updates did not screw up battery life every now and then, like they do on Nexus.
- izacus 9y agoDid they flop because they were thicker, or because they had any other failing?
- praneshp 9y agoThat's a fair question. My reading is that their only differentiating factor was battery, but that wasn't accepted. OTOH, you can never prove that a thicker phone with higher battery life succeeded was because of extended life :)
- valuearb 9y agoPeople who build the vast majority of phones believe thicker hurt sales. And they do lots of market research. I'm pretty sure their market researchers aren't telling them customers want thicker with longer battery life and the phone makers are just responding "oh no they don't!" Even if all the phone makers in the world ignored customer's wishes, it would only take one company to listen to market research and suddenly dominate the market to change everything.
