> Or they could sell us a rugged iPhone with a removable battery and SD card slot to extend storage but keep the proprietary OS to keep the music/movie ppl happy plus keep out malware not sent via FISA warrant, but if they did that Tim Cook might jump off the top of the donut apparently, so they keep going the way you describe.

I'm sure 3.5 humans who want that will appreciate that product.

I was being a bit sarcastic but I think longer, removable battery rather than thin + using a charging case could have an appeal.

(Same for an sd slot.)

Especially paired with a form factor like the 6s for those who don’t want a phablet.
