The phrase “hat on a hat” doesn’t quite capture what I want to say about this, but…if the phone more or less requires an external battery pack from point of sale, that’s a bad phone. Failure by design. Not suitable for most regular users.

There is no shame in admitting ultra-slim tech just isn’t a reality yet & scrapping the project; there is shame in…whatever the hell this is.

They might go ahead & release it, but we shouldn’t buy products that fail by design.
