Steve Jobs was right about many things, but his views on the perfect size for a smartphone were famously wrong. Perceived as gigantic, the original iPhone had a 3.5-inch screen, and everyone loved it. A few years later, the Samsung Galaxy Note was ridiculed for its 5.3-inch display, but again - everyone loved it. Since then, phones have steadily grown in size, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max display is rumored to reach 6.9 inches. Chances are it will be the best-selling model of the generation, just like the 15 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max were for their respective generations.
Despite the constantly growing phone sizes, there’s a vocal minority of people who say they want smaller phones. However, the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Mini and the 5.9-inch Asus Zenfone 10 didn’t sell well. They sold so poorly that Apple now has the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, and Asus is betting on the 6.8-inch Zenfone 11 Ultra to bring better sales. None of this has made people stop saying they want small phones. The question is, what will make people stop talking about small phones and start buying them?
I’d guess that the battery life is a significant concern. So, would you buy a small phone if it had the lasting battery of a giant phone? Or are your concerns more related to the performance? Do you feel a smaller flagship should be cheaper just because of the size difference? All in all, what would make you choose a sub-six-inch device instead of your current one?
