I think it was apple, but someone claimed that removable batteries would make the phones thicker and more expensive to make.
Maybe it would make them thicker, but the phones didn’t get any cheaper with the removal of the headphone jack. I don’t need top tier cameras, so let’s meet in the middle.
Also, how much thinner do phones need to be? They are already so thin they don’t even advertise that as a selling point anymore.
@worfamerryman "We want to have thin phones" is no longer a valid argument manufacturers can come up with when the cameras keep sticking out so much, in my opinion at least.
@wave_walnut
Great point! My current case is just thick enough to make the camera sit flush with the back, so I hardly think about it.
The question is which idiot in the press (or anywhere else for that matter) decided that it was acceptable to measure the thickness of a phone in any other way than as the minimum distance between two parallel planes such that the phone fits between them?
