I think it was apple, but someone claimed that removable batteries would make the phones thicker and more expensive to make.

Maybe it would make them thicker, but the phones didn’t get any cheaper with the removal of the headphone jack. I don’t need top tier cameras, so let’s meet in the middle.

Also, how much thinner do phones need to be? They are already so thin they don’t even advertise that as a selling point anymore.

I use a cover anyway because cracked glass isn't the look I go for, and use that cover to hold my cards. A millimeter less is something I won't notice.

They even sell extra durable phones with extra padding.

My screens crack is on the curved part of the display where the cover would “cover” the screen.

Im assuming your talking about a screen protector.
