I’d be willing to bet that most people in the world want a bigger phone.
I downsized to a iPhone 15 Pro from a iPhone 13 Pro Max thinking that I wanted a smaller phone, but I find myself missing it and planning to upgrade to the larger variety come the iPhone 17 launch. Typing has been an absolute nightmare for my hands on this smaller phone. I make more mistakes and it’s uncomfortable.
I also miss the larger screen size for viewing videos, but it’s not the end of the world there since I also have an iPad and other devices better suited for videos.
But people forget how the iPhones, in particular, were criticized by a lot of people, especially on the Android side, for not having as big of phones and Apple finally caved a few years after Steve passed. I think Steve Jobs is what held back iPhones to the smaller size they had for so long.
When I returned to a smaller phone, it felt small for like 5 days. Then it felt normal and fine. And it had better battery life and is easier to deal with all day long. I hate bigger phones
A larger phone is nicer to sit down and use with both hands, and while that is a primary use case for many people, it isn’t for me. I want my phone to emphasize portability and one-handed use.
I think there’s a viable market niche for a small phone, bi but I wonder if small phone customers might be unprofitable for other reasons.
I double tap my home button and the screen shinks down to one handed use. I do whatever I need with one hand, double tap again, and we’re back to full size. Only bad thing about the big phone is you need a big pocket.
I wonder if we get adaptable phones that have interchangeable screens, projection based interface, AR glasses/contacts with a powerful microprocessor, or neurolink direct feed into our optic nerve first
I went from a Note 9 to an iPhone 13 mini and have the opposite experience, the smaller and lighter phone is easier on the wrist and being able to reach most of the screen with just my thumb is pretty great.

We’ve had projection keyboards for years, and consumer AR products are coming out now.
I’m referring to a big change in cell phones in specific
For that matter we have AR glasses too.
