I bought a pixel fold because the screen on the front is small and it opens in a wide format when I need to look at tables

Bigger screens mean bigger and more obtrusive ads.

I'm convinced this is 90% of the reason right here.

I don’t see why we don’t already have an iPod size device. I just need something for music and if a phone call happens to come in - great! It was so simple then.

As long as they don't stop making ones my current size (which is also my navi for my motorcycle), then they can make whatever they wish. I think mine (Pixel 6 Pro) is perfect size.

Smaller phones do have a place though. I've got a 7-year old son with Type 1 diabetes. We wears a Glucose Monitor that requires a Bluetooth connection to get a reading. He needs to carry a mobile phone for this reason, and because of his size, and the fact that he needs to carry it basically all the time, a smaller phone is best. He does not need a camera, or to browse social media.

I miss the times when I found 5" phones big. Now they just seem small because everything else is pushing 7"

Porn. Next question

Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you'll find they're actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn't even there. You're just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?

I was small phone enjoyer until my Sony Z3 Compact. I really liked it, but after it died, I tried bigger phones and I couldn't go back.

Even for the government you need apps nowadays. Yes you can try doing things in person but wait times aren't reasonable. I've been trying to get a dumb phone for myself but still find I need a smartphone for specific apps a couple of times a month...
