Can we stop making phones that are so thin that they struggle to be powered for a full day under moderate use?

- kitsunesoba 6y agoI think it may be best if there's a wide variety of battery capacities in phones, rather than a raised minimum capacity across the bar. If battery power is universally plentiful, you'll get something of a road expansion effect where developers simply take advantage of cheap power and bloat apps to fill the added capacity, returning you to square one with phones struggling to last a day. So with that in mind, the best case scenario may be for manufacturers to keep their current thin models but also introduce new ultra-high-capacity models, so apps are optimized reasonably well and users can take full advantage of the extra capacity.
