That's not what sales numbers say. People repeatedly buy the thinner/lighter models (which also seem more "advanced to then") over heavier alternatives.

But often you don't even have the option for a thicker model... So how can anyone even claim that?

Focus most of your efforts putting the good stuff into the thin phones and then run the numbers how everyone is buying thin phones!
