For instance, would you carry an iPhone the size of a shoebox if the rest of the space was a battery? Would you even be willing to carry one of the 80s phones that had a satchel?

      I mean, people carried these by their convenient handle back in the day. The lead-acid battery just built character.

        I know people who had them or similar versions. Not a single person carried them around. They took them from their house to their car to their office. Sometimes then never left the car. They didn’t get moved around like a current cellphone.
