I don’t disagree with your point, I just bristle against it given what I have had in the past.
I’d rather live back in the world where expensive phones didn’t necessarily require a case. Glass backs suck. It hurts to hold my phone to my ear for long conversations (fold5), and this one is actually better that most recent phones I’ve had.
Now, the bamboo back of the moto X 2013… Man, best phone I ever had, bar none. Admittedly, that phone in particular had a curved back that worked wonderfully for hand feel, so maybe my problem with a wobbly back phone is more that it doesn’t really provide a benefit for it to be designed with bumpy cameras just to have a “ultra thin!!! (*Excluding cameras)” do-nothing selling point.
Extend the back so that the cameras are flush and fill the extra millimeters with battery, or make it curved to fit the hand more comfortably, but a camera bump for the sake of fake thinness just feels absurd to me.
They made phones more fragile to allow for more stylish case designs that making them more fragile necessitated. It’s maddening to me.
