    How many times is this going to be regurgitated? The question has been well and truly answered.

    We don’t buy them.

      That, and small phones on the Android side are often nerfed beyond reason, like a bottom-of-the-barrel Mediatek SoC with low RAM and shit storage option instead of the bigger model’s Snapdragon and quality storage, or shit cameras, or garbage screen resolution, etc etc.

      There is something to be said about the larger variant having more room for better cameras, but outside of that, the nerfing feels almost intentional.

        Small size means a smaller battery. If they make the phone’s processor too powerful, the battery will run out in less than a day, and then everyone will be mad about that. There’s also less surface to dissipate heat.

        Making things smaller is harder and more expensive, but people who want small phones don’t want to pay more than large phones.

        They don’t care about “you”. They care about their “consumers” (as in, you in bulk), who don’t buy them.

        It’s capitalism; simple as that.

      OP is an iPhone user. They’re very used to their tiny phones and they love them and simply can’t understand why everyone wants a large phone.

        It’s a blind take. If iPhone 16 Pro Max sold less than iPhoneSE, then they would still sell the latter.

        But there is no comparison.
