    It’s good to understand the motives of the manufacturers. Skimming through a subreddit for finding a good phone for my needs showed me just how differently other people use their phones than how I do (basically as a handheld web browser, camera, and photo album) and I buy them so seldom I’m definitely not their real market.

    But man I hate the trend of making phones ever thinner and more slippery. I’m just going to put it in a bulky armored case anyways. My ideal phone would be some kind of ruggedized device with the back held on with screws and a rubber gasket, with removable SD cards and battery. I’m excited to see what design changes the EU requirements drive.

      Actually having the rugged case removable instead to attached to the phone is quite nice, but I just wish there was some sort of standardized form-factor for phones so that your can have standard cases as well. The phones these days all look nearly the same anyway, but there is always some small bulge here or the camera placed 1cm lower or so that requires getting a case just for that exact model of a phone.
