I had a phone with a removable back and wireless charging back in 2012. This isn't rocket science.

Same. Was the Samsung Galaxy S3 (which in 2012 had wireless charging and a removable back) not sufficiently thin? It's less than a millimeter thicker than the current Galaxy S23, and I'm not sure that the <1mm of difference in the S23 comes from having a non-removable back (as opposed to the 11 years of advancements in other technologies.)

I had a Palm Pre in 2010 with a removable battery and wireless charging.
