I know a common refrain with my friends is "IDGAF about an extra few centimeters, give me an audio jack". I think consumers are down for thicker phones if they get something for it. In this case, a phone that lasts longer

People say that but then they don’t buy the phones.

There is a difference between revealed and stated preference.

You assume that everyone needs more battery life. That need is highly variable based on different use and access to chargers.
