    You said you couldn’t buy a small truck, not that you couldn’t buy a truck the same size as 20 years ago.

    A. I clarified to find me one of the same size as a 1990 model.

    B. Isnt this exactly the same argument your making? There is huge demand for small trucks, the ranger was a top seller when it was discontinued. And when it was brought back, its a slightly smaller version of the f150, and nothing what people want.

    They also had the ability to put in smaller batteries if everyone was clamoring for super thin phones. They just weren’t.

    You really are that dense. The battery tech was not there to allow thinner phones without compromising capacity. The strongest market desirablity is battery life. But people also want smaller phones. Hell, futurama made this joke in 2001

      Good for you.

      No, you don’t carry Ford Rangers around in your pocket all the time making them easy vectors to spy on people.

      The bagtery tech was not there to allow thinner phones without comprismising capacity.

      And if people really gave a fuck about thinner phones they would have accepted smaller “bagtery’s” to get them. Clearly capacity was more important. So I guess people weren’t chomping at the bit to get thinner phones now were they?

      But people also want smaller phones.

      Phones have been getting bigger not smaller.

        To… wait for it… accommodate larger screens. Shocking i know. You know exactly what i meant by smaller.

        Riddle me this. Why would you carry a phone…without a battery?
