Minority of a minority of a minority.
Them and the "make it smaller crowd" too. A very small, very loud minority that fails to actually show up when such a product is released.
You're getting downvoted but as a part of that crowd, I agree
When it comes to phone size that is not a main issue for me. The problem is UI that forces me to tap the top left corner to go back.
That's because "make it affordable" is also an implicit ask with any sort of alike economy. And these companies are failing at hearing it.
it's not that much a minority as you'd think. just like desktop computers largely still use wires to connect mouse and keyboard, people want to have wired devices.
You can still wire through the usb-c port
sure, like those supporting Palestine, doesn't make them wrong. I hate not having a headphone jack, my Etymotic ear buds are 20 years old and still work superbly.
