Why can’t Apple just make it slightly thicker and get rid of the camera bump and increase the battery capacity?

Because they routinely put focus testers in a room with a bunch of different weighted rectangles and the data shows people don’t like the heavier thicker rectangles.

Because not enough people want such a thing, as simple as that. It's like the r/android mind virus version of being flabbergasted why modern phones don't include an IR blaster

Because they don't want to.

Because batteries, like everything, contain mass and a phone that thick and stuffed with batteries would be shredded for feeling like a brick.

Agreed. Phones (for me) are already too big
