I don't see how using cases is an argument against people wanting thin phones. A thin phone plus a case is thinner than a thick phone plus a case. More practically, a case is a necessary evil if you're worried about accidentally damaging your expensive device. Put me in the camp of wanting thinner phones. I don't use a case. My 14 Pro is thicker than I like. I miss the thinness of the 6s. I end every day at 40% battery life; the extra capacity is wasted on me, since it's not good enough to last two days. My last phone was 5 years old, still had 81% capacity when I replaced it, and always lasted the full day. Am I everyone? Obviously not, but I expect market research has led Apple and others to the conclusion people do want thin phones, else they would make thicker phones. I guarantee there will be people upset that their phones are thicker for reasons that don't benefit them.
