Not only that, but if phone batteries were user replaceable, they could be sold in multiple capacities. So people that want "thin" phones can keep their camera protrusions, and the people that want more battery capacity could get a pack that allows the phone to sit flush on a table.
replyLiterally win win win.
You say that like it'd be a simple process to accommodate the different thicknesses of battery..
replyI'm not sure what you're trying to say? The replaceable battery is either thicker, or it isn't. There's not much to accommodate.
replyThis is already a thing for some [dedicated] cameras like the Canon EOS series.
