  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.

    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.

    Then they can’t advertise that the phone is x.x mm thick (if you ignore the thickest part!)

  Literally nobody who cares about their phone is rawdogging it. It’s a perfectly sane design assuming there will be a case.

    I wish I didn’t have to put a case on my phone

      Why? It’s better to have the part most likely to take damage be replaceable

      • LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    I care about my phone and I’m rawdogging it

  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.

  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.
