I'm super curious to see how big the market is for a slightly slimmer phone with a battery that won't make it through the whole day.
There was a market for iPhone Minis but Apple abandoned them anyway. I think Apple has some throwaway budget to give these things a spin to see if they stick. Pro Max did.
Yeah there are a lot of good reasons to want smaller outer dimensions, but a couple mm slimmer with worse battery life? I struggle to see who this would be a good trade off for.

I think it didn't work out well for Samsung... so i guess, not a big market? Phones are already super thin... why not make a (slightly) thicker one and put a massive battery, better cooling system, headphone jack and whatnot in it?
That's certainly what I'd prefer.
