They don't need to make it thicker. Just not thinner and with a better battery.

Battery chemistry gets in the way. You can only pack so much Wh into lithium with a given weight and volume.

If you could make the phone smaller from shrinking components, don't. Instead keep it the same size and fill the extra space with a bigger battery.

Or, if you could remove battery because of lowered power consumption of components (and then make the phone smaller) just Keep the battery the same size.
