This hasn’t been true for a while. The iPhone hit peak thinness a while ago and they have been getting thicker every year. The battery life on the latest iPhones is much better this year than last.

And on weight, I find the 13 pro to be ok but the 13 pro max was too much. So what they have now is the limit of what I want the weight to be.

The fact that iPhones wobble like a cheap table because the camera protrudes with the lack of a 3.5 jack is pretty crazy im my mind. I dont like cases (will throw a sacrifice glass on the screen) but I feel they could add some thickness. And i'd go 2x as thick and as for an android like the first keyboard slide of the Motorolo Droids.

Give me a notched phone roughly the size of a SE, ~2x as thick with a slide keyboard and i will go back to android... basicly bring back the moto droid line!!

I actually like the bump because it raises the phone off the table slightly so I can grip it better. I never use the phone on the table anyway so it's no issue.

But a phone with a thickness that makes the camera flush should only give you more grip surface, I can only think of the scenario of trying to pick up a penny or dime from a counter where I need to use my finger nails the air gap would be slightly helpful.

> I never use the phone on the table anyway so it's no issue.

Just like when Apple never seemed to test how left handed people use phones, no issue to you isn't really the point.

+1 for Motorola Droid or G1. Unfortunately, Google killed them for no reason.
