Yeah, they do. Ask someone whose iPhone has just died (again) if they'd take it being a bit thicker with a bit more battery, and I don't know anyone who wouldn't make the trade.

And I personally still miss living in a world where no matter where you went you were never more than 5 feet from a 30-pin cable.

FWIW, my anecdotal experience is the exact opposite of your anecdotal experience, which I guess is the nature of such things.

Which part? Everyone you know prefers thinness over battery life? Or prefers having fewer compatible cables around?
