I want a phone that knows I'm going to put a screen protector on it and put it in a case.
So what if it's thinner? I'm going to put it in a case that makes it huge. Design it with the case in mind. You put a stupid camera bulge on it. The whole phone could be the thickness of the bulge.
Why do I have to put a screen protector on it? Why doesn't it come from the factory with a screen protector?
I don't know how to design a phone that knows it will be wearing clothes, but it should be obvious to designers that many people do not use a naked phone.
I don't use a case or a screen protector, but I know cases have a cutaway for the camera bulge so it doesn't actually increase the size. If you added thickness to the entire phone to remove the camera bulge then your case will be thicker too, it just means the camera will be 'sunken' into the case which would be a less efficient use of space. In fact the camera bulge disappears when you use a case.
