And so did android manufacturers. The last small-ish Android phone, the Asus Zenfone is now also ginormous in its latest revision…
Like, below 6“ there’s the ZenFone 10, the iPhone 13 mini (both not current gen but still up to date), the Sony Xperia 10 IV (the V is above 6“), and a bunch of rugged phones (that aren’t exactly small either) and a few cheap af phones that are exactly 6"
The big ones, true. But at least with Android there’s some sort of a possibility that somebody tries. Like the Unihertz Titan and Jelly models. Unfortunately stuck at Android 13 officially.
Yea but like, then why bother with android at all? KaiOS seems to do everything you‘d want it to do, if you’re looking for a device that small. Or really just a standalone smartwatch.
When I talk about small phones, I want a phone without compromise (besides maybe battery). I want to be able to use any app, consume content, communicate via mail or chat apps on a useably sized keyboard, etc. I just want it to be below 6“
(Or rather around 5“ considering modern borderless designs). I loved the 4“ iPhone sizes and I love my 5.4“ iPhone 13 mini. Wouldn’t really want a phone bigger than those 5.4“ and also wouldn’t really want a device much smaller in footprint than the old 4“ iphones.
My next phone is an Android probably because Apple stopped making “small” phones.

The marked is harsh to us small phone fans…

Yea and also their screens are comically small. The Jelly‘s 3“ are barely useable… I want sub 6“ not sub 4“…
It’s a matter of how you use it and for what, really. My watch screen is 1.5"

There’s the 2nd gen SE although they said it sold poorly.
I got the second gen SE and thought it was great overall. Sometimes I still miss the fingerprint scanner.
Yeah I like mine a lot. There’s not a lot of small phones nowadays that aren’t just meant to be as cheap as possible.
I got my parents those. They are crap devices.
What’s crap about it? I really like mine. Small, thin, snappy, good battery, never heats up. Beats the hell out of my Zenfone.
