There is a lot to fix on mobile phones:

- Batteries that charge fast. Batteries that can support 2-3 days of use. Lighter batteries.

- Thinner camera.

- Better screens outdoor.

- No overheating.

- Better software, or a lower bar: fix the bugs.

- Satellite connectivity.

just few things on the top of my head and things that will interest me and justify a new purchase.

iPhones have had iMessage over satellite since I think the 15? I've used it when camping. It's pretty neat!

Features I want: ask siri for the things I look up and it works. "When did the baby fall asleep" instead of opening Nanit. "How many more intervals in this workout" instead of opening TrainerRoad. "What is my next meeting" instead of opening Outlook. This was the promise of the new Siri and it just has yet to really come true.

What needs to be better about screens outdoor? iPhones have had nicely readable screens in bright sunlight for a long time now, including compatibility with sunglasses. Though it would be nice to see this in all other phones too.

Other than that I agree. Especially camera bumps are annoying to me, I would prefer a phone thick enough to make the bump disappear, that would then automatically solve the battery life issue as well.

> Batteries that charge fast. Batteries that can support 2-3 days of use. Lighter batteries.

Battery chemistry isn't there yet. Frankly, we are lucky enough phones don't set themselves ablaze every day - it only takes minuscule errors and you get a Galaxy Note.

> Thinner camera.

Hard to beat physics and if you ask me, "AI" slop is already being overused on cameras to hide the fact that good picture quality requires sensor area and distance for the optics.

> Satellite connectivity.

We're already beginning to see that with Starlink LTE.
