          If the phone were 5% lighter that would be an actual improvement. Instead phones get heavier and thinner and bigger. So overall the experience diminishes as they try to be tablets.

              No disagreement there. But a problem with modern consumer electronics is that they AREN'T ACTUALLY BETTER then last year's model. Sure you can talk about pixel density etc, but that was actually a solved problem almost 10 years ago. Apple called it a "retna" display. They idea is that at a certain pixel density and screen size, there is no benefit to adding more . But capitalism always requires more, so since you can't add pixels, you have to add screen space. But the iphone was already designed to be used one handed. People's hands haven't grown in the past 10 years, so why are they making the phones bigger which makes it a worse user experience?

              Anyway, I dont' want to derail into phone chat. but I'll say that if they did actually start making lighter phones with the same battery life, I wouldn't consider that an actual improvement to that space, but that isn't what is happening :/
