Easiest "improvement" to market I guess? I'm not a phone person so I don't really know. Small weight increases can be really devestating on long-term use, though, I've learned from gaming handhelds.

People want tablets to look at social media all day because they don't use computers. I have an old iPhone Mini and refuse to buy a new phone because Apple abandoned the concept of smaller phones and so far all the small androids have been cheap 720p plastic budget phones that feel awful to use when I have to.

I think small phones might make a comeback. This is incredibly stupid and reminds me of all the touch nonsense in cars and ovens and microwaves. People want their buttons back there now so I'm giving it time for people to realize big phones are stupid.

It's overwhelmingly for larger videos and longer battery time. The average consumer does not buy a large phone because they want to play gacha or fortnite.

the norms dont use desktops, or even laptops. they do everything computery on their phone. and most of those things are painful on small screens.

I miss the era when different models of phones actually looked different
Fuck smartphones
Agreed on size too, I replaced the iphone 5 SE I'd ben using since I first got a phone with a samsung something or other last year and even though it was the smallest thing they had it's still way too big. It's hard to use one-handed
I have small hands though

Designers want them big because it makes it easier to cram the laundry list of pointless features and bigger numbers that they crave in.
Sales wants them big because the age of miniaturization is over and big is where the money is at.
Consumers want them big because they want to be able to stare at the damn things all day long and don't own computers anymore.
And the makers like this because the more people move to phones for the more and more expensive phones they need to buy. It's the same reason why you can't buy a phone without the best camera they can shove into it, because they don't want anyone to have a reason to buy cameras anymore.

I hate it. 10 years ago I was happy about getting an extra inch of screen space over the iphone, but they killed it by making it impossible to keep the OS up to date enough to use anything and now I'm stuck with a goliath that can't be fully utilized with one hand and keeps falling out of my pocket because it's too fucking loooooooooooong.

is that your phone or are you just happy to see me

Big Data want them big because you can cram more ads into a big screen. (God bless AdAway btw)
