Yes, but then it would be slightly heavier and have way too good of a battery life, reducing power bank sales and having the phone last longer without needing to be replaced due to battery degradation.
My plastic cover doesn’t provide power, no. My cover levels the back to be on even level with the camera — much in the same way the proposed larger battery would.
Because it adds more bulk to an already massive device, and it’d be nice to have the device itself be able to withstand bumps and scrapes without needing extra padding.
I mean, if you want to withstand bumps and scrapes you need padding. But without a case you need the padding to be glued to the phone directly. The bulk remains the same no?
Give it a few more years. At this rate, by 2028, the entire back of the phone will be camera bump and you’ll be able to lay it down on a flat surface at last.

When is the industry going to recognize that the camera needs to be flush with the back?
This is ridiculous
Also, fingerprint scanners don’t belong behind the screen.
Unless you have the greasiest fingers of anyone who ever lived, they just don’t work. I have to lick my fingers to make it see them…
As my grandmother used to tell me, “Your hands are dry, go lotion them up sonny.”
And from that point on, Granny never did question why lil’ Petey bought lube by the 55gal drum load.
At least his hands, amongst other things, were soft and well moisturized.
If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn’t we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?
Yes, but then it would be slightly heavier and have way too good of a battery life, reducing power bank sales and having the phone last longer without needing to be replaced due to battery degradation.
Then they can’t advertise that the phone is x.x mm thick (if you ignore the thickest part!)
Mine does that when I put a cover on my phone.
The cover is on the same level as the camera as there’s a cutout on that bit.
Your cover increases battery life?
My plastic cover doesn’t provide power, no. My cover levels the back to be on even level with the camera — much in the same way the proposed larger battery would.
Yeah, makes sense chief, but a bigger batteries main purpose would be to be a bigger battery while also being level.
Seems like your flimsy plastic cober is kinda shit
It’s a perfectly good silicone cover. You’ve never heard of silicone covers for phones?
The only things shit here are your reading comprehension and attitude.
Excuse me. My cober works just fine.
Attention span is a problem nowadays
Literally nobody who cares about their phone is rawdogging it. It’s a perfectly sane design assuming there will be a case.
I care about my phone and I’m rawdogging it
I wish I didn’t have to put a case on my phone
Why? It’s better to have the part most likely to suffer damage also be replaceable

I refuse to put anything on my phone, she as naked as the day I got her.
