I don’t need a paper thin phone. I need a phone with a battery that lasts all day when actively using my phone non-stop with everything on and the screen at maximum brightness.
I would also like a phone that doesn’t fall out of my hand because there’s not enough of it to actually hold on to, and what there is is polished completely smooth.
Also, I absolutely do not need the newest shiniest hardware. I want something that can handle WhatsApp/Signal encryption. YouTube playback would be nice, doesn’t need to be 1080, 720p is absolutely enough on a phone. And frigging security updates for more than a few years. Can we please figure this shit out.
Agreed. Make the phones ⅛ in - ¼ (3.18mm - 6.35mm) thicker and use all the extra space for a bigger battery! Virtually everyone throws a case on their phone anyways, so it’s not going to be a very noticeable size difference anyways.

and (I’d like to add) the ability to change said battery when it, inevitably dies, and the I also want a minimum of 6 years of security update.

Apparently the Galaxy A16 5G gets 6 years of updates.
So do some of the pixel series phones, and those you can install a privacy respecting OS (GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, for example).
Yeah pixels are great in that regard. But they are flagship phones with latest and greatest hardware costing a ton of money.
New, yes. But used, they can cost about the same as the Galaxy A series.
