    Why can’t they make phones with flat backs anymore? Why the needless protrusion so it can no longer lay flat? Add in more battery if you have to.

      Well, at least it’s flat(-ish) with a case. I’d still prefer it if it didn’t require a case though, like these slippery glass slabs do. I’d be perfectly happy if my pixel 7 pro felt out of the box, like it does with the official case. Imo the case actually makes the phone look and feel way better.

      This must be because making a sleek device increases how desirable it looks. That also explains designs like tapered edges.
      I’m in full agreement with you and would prefer a completely flat phone with the extra space used for battery and cooling.
