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.

Bigger screens mean bigger and more obtrusive ads.

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

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

Same reason I have a Samsung Fold. 75% of the time it's a small phone for small regular tasks. When consuming media, I open up.

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.

Also on a Pixel 6 Pro, no way would I want a bigger phone.

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

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.
