Compact Phones

Phones are too big. We've come to accept that 6" phones are normal, and we're mis-sized. But just a few years ago, people hated big phones. We complained that they were uncomfortable to hold, didn't fit in our pockets, and that these phones were "clumsily oversized." Now big phones are all you can buy. Why? Did everyone's hands and pockets get magically bigger? Are phones big because manufacturers want us to drop them?

Whatever the reason, we know what we want: We want small phones!

They're hoping this, but the moment only few companies offer a small phone and make bank, they will change their minds quickly.

People who like small phones will skip replacement and buy used phones if they have to for years. There's a lot of money to make giving ppl what they want.
