No more thin phones then?
Why would a replaceable battery require a thicker phone?
Now that you say it true why would it
It makes it more difficult to design really thin phones because the battery needs a sturdier case and an additional connector to be easily replaceable. Generally making a phone smaller and thinner makes components less accessible. Personally I think it is more important that high quality batteries are available for a long time. In my opinion it would be fine if some tools were required to replace the battery. Ideally that only needs to be done once every 2-3 years so if it takes a bit longer it isn't such a big deal as when there aren't good batteries available.
They're not thin anymore since the 9 because they're was an issue with them bending in pockets.
any good reason for having a super thin phone?
I knew someone was gonna say that but of course I want it to be thin when I have it in my pocket the whole day. I have a case on my phone that makes it thicker and you can already kinda see it through my pants which doesn't really look good
