Exactly my point, scaling up emerging technologies is where a lot of the problems are.

iPhone 8 Said to Pack Battery Capacity of Current 5.5-Inch Model Into 4.7-Inch Form Factor

By investing and developing emerging technologies, they would no longer be 'emerging' would they? I'm not saying to take a battery in development and put it in the next iPhone.
And that is just one of many new battery technologies, there are at least 5 others developed in the past few months (I've included links in a previous post).
Apple is taking MS seat, no matter what they do, they get bitch slapping by consumers, it's the trend now.
Of course they are developing new battery technologies and improving existing chemistry, but given the time it takes to scale up these things, it likely isn't their priority. Maybe I should rephrase my statement to say that I'd like to see new battery technology soon from Apple so they can get ahead of the competition in that respect.
Unless that reason is pure greed
Share holders & Wall-Street begs to differ with you.
Less that 50% profit margin & 50% YOY growth is a disaster in today's world.
Did you see FitBit results, YOY growth of 29% & Was-Street was not happy.
It's often issues with funding and therefore scaling up production... or some just simply don't work out.
No matter what apple does, there will be someone on this forum who will find something to complain about. I'm really wondering why apple isn't working on a rocket that will take the iphone 8 to Mars. Shame on apple.

Oh yea. Like anyone will believe you will abandon apple for $1.
Continue? Lol, it hasn't been the best phone on the market for years now. The gap has never been wider.
So Tim, do you mind if I call you Tim.. stop the propaganda campaign, put down the koolaid, and enjoy the rest of your day.
Which is very different from implying that most users don't make it through the day on most days (a claim you seem to have retreated from after realising how untenable it was).
For a given phone size, a removable battery will have a smaller capacity (the battery needs extra encasing, the shape of the battery is more limited). And you know full well that only a really tiny percentage of users every got extra batteries for their phones (or laptops). And a battery case fulfils pretty much the same function as removable batteries.
Omg! If they could fit the same capacity of the current Plus into the iPhone 8 then imagine how much battery capacity the iPhone 8 Plus will have this year! 
I want to stay with iOS. Perhaps a battery case as you recommend may be the solution.
These new iPhones are so thin that become slippery like a bar of soap.
That makes sense because we all know Apple is running dangerously short on resources.

Well they need a faster mac pro because they are bogging their current machines down using MR and FB.
No matter what anyone says, there will always be somebody who turns it into something negative. I said it was good news, I wasn't complaining.
This is so true... All Apple care about is THINness and they would do it at every available opportunities.
That's not true. Apple cares more about a product they release over thinnness. They release a nice product that delivers.
That said, when devices become thinner, it's because it offers advances in technology that is requiring less hardware and added bulk. From logic boards, batteries, speakers, etc. Apple isn't the only electronic manufacturer that release's a "Thinner" product. Same could be said about many other products and companies. Look at the TV industry as a huge example of exhibiting thin products.
It's not because of the thinness, the slippery nature of iPhones is due to the rounded edges, the width and length of the device and the smooth finish. Case in point - a credit card is not difficult to hold.
Ah, so a 7 Plus sized screen, in a 7 sized body?
I love my 7+ screen size, but would welcome a smaller device with he same screen real estate.
I must be in the minority who is extremely happy with Apple batteries.
iPhone can last any where from 1 charge or 2 for full day use.
iPad can do easily 2 days of use.
Macbook (2015) 8 hours (or more!) on soft use.
people who complain about battery must not take their eyes of their iDevices or actually use it for work in 6-8 hours continuously.
