I know that the mini is something of a niche product but I don’t get why. Who is asking for these giant bricks of a cell phone? Well everyone apparently is, but why? I’d love apple to design a clamshell foldable so that I could get an even smaller pocket footprint
Your phone is a portal into a large part of the world. It’s not that odd that the average person would prefer a larger window.
My phone is a screen I use for reading, viewing media, using UI, etc. It’s a web device. Real estate matters, and larger keyboards are easier to type on.
Larger screens are harder to use one handed though. I really just want a screen sized to be used one handed by most people. I'd also argue that with Swype and similar stuff, typing on a keyboard really doesn't need that much accuracy these days.
I used to be a small phone guy, but I hadn’t actually used a bigger phone before. I decided on a 14 Pro Max as “something different” when it came time to upgrade and I can’t go back to smaller.
