Oh wow shocking, people actually cared more about usability than trashy feature? That's unheard of

How about making a phone that's a whole millimeter thicker just to make the glass thick and strong enough that it won't break if you drop it?

Great idea! Unless of course the replacement of parts and broken phones is a core part of the business model.

Rubbish. If my phone isn't so thin that it can double as a knife, it's not worth buying.

Even if it were thicker I'd still slap on a sacrificial glass screen protector atop it. I've dropped my phone only a handful of times, and so far have only ever broken the protector.

Just slap a shield on it, there's your added thickness and better drop resistance all in one!

No! I don't care about battery! I want to become more dependent on advertising companies to arrange my daily life!

I like AI and my phone to be separate. Chatgpt is just an app, it shouldn't be a core feature

Give me a phone that’s 1.5 cm thick (before the camera bump) and lasts two days and I’ll buy fucking 10 of them.

JUST STOP. MAKING. THEM. THINNER.

They have. The iphone 6 was I think the thinnest iphone at 6.9mm thick. The X was 7.7mm, and the 15 is 7.8mm thick. And at least for my use I do get 2 days of battery life. Even with the 80% charge cap.

No, they want a thicker phone, not thinner

Overall phones have been getting chunkier, larger too. I dislike the size, but like the added battery life from the thickness is nice. My pixel 8 is perfect in both regards for me :)
Edit: just saw the sub. Don't really know a lot about apple phones specifically.
