If they levelled it out you could surely fit a far larger battery in it too. I'd far rather have a device 1.5mm thicker with a battery lifespan twice as long and no silly bump on it.

Would you also like the extra weight of such a device?

Everyone I've ever known, would gladly make that tradeoff.

what premium would you pay for this? asking for a friend.

Zero. Ignoring that Apple prices are already inflated beyond all reason, a larger battery would add a single digit dollar amount to the BOM.

Ok, so they'll continue making thinner devices that appeal to more people then.

They do. That’s why they discontinued the mini phones. Nobody likes those.
