totally agree, chasing ultrathin designs has diminishing returns. There's so many practical ways to extend battery life such as letting users selectively dial down performance, adding a bit of extra thickness/weight, rethinking how power hungry features are scheduled... It's a matter of priorities, and Apple is obsessed with design (with dubious results, ie magic mouse charging port)
