The iPhone Air would've been a really refreshing change if it was uniformly thin (i.e. like now, but without the camera bulge).

In the other extreme I wonder why there aren't many phones that would fill up the space up to the protruding camera modules with battery - this way a smaller phone could have the battery capacity of a larger and thinner one.

Yeah, or along the same lines I would love to see

  • Whole phone as thick as cameras, while still using good cameras.

  • Much of that space taken up by battery

  • Rest of that space taken up by some kind of compact cooling system that even has a thin little fan that can kick on when it's docked

  • Because of course i'm talking about a dockable Linux phone

(I'm already seeing problems, like the fan probably needs to be part of the dock and the phone use the outside surface of the case as its heat sink)

Yeah, I meant most of that with the second paragraph. I'm just doubtful that active cooling would happen on mobile - manufacturers seem generally averse to including any moving parts (remember popup front cameras?). The direction that makes more sense to me is to make CPUs more thermally efficient.
