The stupid part about that desire is that most consumers put their phone in an ugly, terrible feeling case and make the phone just as thick as if they had improved the battery life. As a device designer the demand for thinness strikes me as something where customers demand something that they really don't care about in practice, but think they do when they are buying the device and holding it in a store so they need to design devices like this. Related to this, the whole camera bump thing just flabbergasts me. Does anyone really think a phone that wobbles when you place it on the table is worth 1mm of thickness reduction? Unfortunately, I've come to realize that nobody is ever going to build the phone I want, because it just doesn't market well compared to everything else on the market, even though I'm convinced it meets the needs of far more people than the invariably flawed devices every manufacturer is putting out these days.
