Well, now your changing the grounds on which we were debating, so I've kind of lost interest. I would point out however, that 1mm of extra thickness on the battery wouldn't add up to 25% in any case.
Odds are the battery in the new iPhone will be either just as efficient what's in the current iPhone (typically/habitually the leading/best battery in the business), or it will be better.
I just don't see what you are complaining about.
Apple's battery is always the best or near best in the industry and gets better every year. Next year's iPhone will be the same in that the battery life will either be the same or better. Asking them to make it super-duper, "extra best" (just for you!), and to the detriment of other features/aspects of the device just doesn't make any sense to me as a request.
From the very beginning, my complaint is that my iPhone battery life is not good enough. I'm sorry you joined in mid-stream, but that's what I was talking about all thread.
Why do you think 1mm in extra thickness, TOTALLY DEVOTED TO BATTERY, wouldn't give 25% more life? Have you done the math? It's not a straight proportional thing - adding 1 mm to the total thickness of the phone would add far more than (1mm/9mm)% to the total battery size, because the phone is not currently totally made of battery, so adding some size to the phone that IS totally battery would have an outsized result on the battery itself.
I am complaining about THE FACT THAT MY PHONE DIES AT ABOUT 5 PM EVEN THOUGH I USE IT LESS THAN I WOULD LIKE TO ALL DAY. Is that clear enough? I don't CARE how that compares to other phones. I want a phone that doesn't die on me before the sun goes down. And I sleep until 830 AM! When I hear that they are making the phone THINNER instead of adding battery life, that upsets me. Does that make sense to you? Do you really need a phone that.s 1.5mm thinner? Wouldn't notice, would you? Well I'd notice if that 1.5mm was spent on battery, and a lot of other people are just like me.
You can read through this thread and find plenty of other people who want more battery life "just for them". That makes it not "just for us" but for everyone. So go screw.
It still has uber-huge bezels at the top and the bottom. Even the older case could fit 4.5" screen needless to say about the new one which could fit 5" easily.

Oppo's 6.65mm claim is BS. I am not sure but visually I think it is at least 1mm or more in its thickest camera point:
I love the design, but a part of me hopes that this is some kind of controlled leak...
I think the design is a little on the similar side with the iPhone 4/4S. Again, don't take me wrong - I love this unibody design with the supposed aluminum back.
But I think it should be a little more different than this... there should be a big change every two generations.
Although, a larger screen is a huge improvement, which Apple might consider a big change.
Anyhow, I love the design, but I can't wait to see what Apple reveals on September!
Oh great. Change for the sake of change. A wonderful strategy that has sunk countless American companies.

Maybe don't put it in your pocket horizontally, then? Or cut the skin-tight spandex out of your wardrobe?
"Is that an iPhone in your pocket, or are you just wearing a zentai suit?"
But seriously, my first-gen is thicker than any modern iPhone and it doesn't even show up at all in my pocket. My LG VX5300 does, though.

that's also what I want to say.
That phone in the Corning Glass youtube vid looks interesting.

That's how iPhone-5 would have looked like if Apple managed to fit a screen of the same dimensions as the center back panel

Yeah, really intersting how the right side of the display extrudes the divice's case. ;-)
But yes I see what you mean. I thought this display without a frame would be possible some day.

Except that's physically impossible first and a terrible idea second.
