Yep this is exactly the problem. Sadly for though the big phones sell way better so I doubt we’ll see a smaller iPhone ever again. My 8 is barely okay in size, but like I said, the 5 (and SE) were a tad better.

I used to share this thinking.  But, my lifestyle changed a bit, to find myself doing a lot of walking. I upgraded to a larger phone specifically because reading text on this site while walking was difficult on the small screen.  I got used to it quick, and though I would still prefer a smaller device in my pocket, the benefits of the larger screen and the larger battery that usually comes along with that, far outweigh the negatives.

It went similarly for me. My first smartphone was a Samsung S3 mini, and when that one broke I used a cellphone for a couple years because I couldn't find such a nice, small phone anymore.

However, I'm not sure I would want such a small phone anymore these days. Apps are programmed with larger screens in mind, and tend to get hard to decipher on a small screen, as my cousin could attest on her 4.5 inch old Smartphone.
