Ah yes, the ever-present "people". As in... "I think at some point I talked to someone... or did I read it? Anyway, they suggested that having thicker phones would be a good idea!"

Of course, they didn't say they'd actually buy such a beast, only that it's probably a good idea.

Just like how everyone says Apple should make an iPhone mini and that they'd buy one... and then Apple does and they don't and it gets cancelled once again.
