For battery capacity, or ergonomics?

It's like with laptops. Apple is obsessed with thin laptops but really I don't want to thin laptop I want to laptop I can use to beat people to death with so that it's repairable and actually contains standard issue components rather than miniaturized custom things I won't be able to source when it inevitably breaks.

If you're going to have a camera bump you might as well just flatten out the back and give yourself more battery space.

Both? Plus getting a flat back. Just in general it makes more room for things.

I don't follow, sorry. What things?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Whatever you want? Battery? Processor? Cooling/vapor chamber? headphone jack? etc. etc.
