This and also I don't want a tumor on the back of my phone. Can we go back to flat bodies at the expense of camera quality? For some of us phone cameras are really not _that_ important.
My pixel 9 is essentially flat, and the battery life is plenty for a couple of days.
Either way, my point is that with a case the pixel 9 is mostly flat, and has a battery life that I can't complain about. How big the battery is physically is unimportant to me. Logically it's big enough.
So nearly 50% of the demographic is buying those phones simply for the camera, and a big screen, nothing else.
I’ve noticed its typically just men (including me), who dont care about the camera much at all, and just want a normie phone that can run most apps.
Most of the world is not using the latest version of Android, and you don't really hear about viruses/malware like we used to with Windows machines in the '90s and '00s.

The average use case I bet isn't making use of 4000 plus pixels
I agree the lens bulges are a pain in the arse, but I want a good camera.
You can buy low-end phones with minimal bump from the likes of Motorola and Nokia if cameras are not important to you. But I want my higher-end (not necessarily premium, but in that direction) phones to keep coming with better and better cameras please, and if that means a bit of a bulge then fine.
