I now have a larger phone because I can't escape the trend and other people's ridiculous needs lol
[rant]
When it comes to phones, I'm pretty simple. I do like having a smart phone for things like maps/navigation, social media crap, calendar, basic phone stuff like calls and texts...
I don't need a phone to run games or watch movies...
I guess I missed my chance at getting an iPhone SE before it was discontinued
I have always owned Android phones (and Blackberry back in the day).
I'm sure there's stuff available out there on the Interwebs, but today my cheap, good ol' Moto G of 3+ years went kaput and I had to buy something locally (again). And NOTHING is compact anymore; 5.5" - 6" phones are what are considered "compact" now (and not sure how long that will last).
I remember a time when we were all asking how small phones could get. And having the smallest phone was the coolest lol. Then smart phones happened...and that was great, but they just keep getting bigger.
I have a laptop and an iPad Mini. I don't need that much screen real estate for a phone. Why people?
So yeah, bad planning on my part for not searching and finding something online and replacing my phone sooner before it kicked the bucket. And y'all will laugh at me when I tell you that this phone that I think is so huge is a 5.5" display haha. My leg feels so stiff when I'm walking around with it in my pocket. I won't be able to kick anybody very well with my phone leg if it comes to that.
I think the iPhone SE is the perfect sized phone. Either small phones will make a comeback or tablets will die a little...and just a constant back and forth while companies and people try to figure out what form factor things should be and how best to differentiate the product lines. From what I understand the iPhone SE was selling well. And for a company that makes iPads, you'd think they'd rather keep their phones smaller to sell more tablets? I dunno. I'll be happy if someone in the Android market sees the niche to fill now and puts out a good quality, 4" smart phone.

Having a small phone is still the coolest. Sorry you missed the SE. If Apple is smart they'll launch some new 4" phones with headphone jacks.

Yes the SE is superb. I already had a 6s when it came out. My daughter bought one. Camera is the same (except for front camera). Text looked exactly the same as on my 6S. Small format. 100% good.
Apple is introducing a cheaper range within a couple of months I heard. Let's see...

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 8 Plus. It’s really not comfortable having that phone in my pocket. So I understand where you’re coming from. But it’s a hell of a lot more powerful and much easier to text and to use apps that I had trouble with on the 4s. It’s more powerful than my iPad Mini 2. So I can do a lot more with Korg Gadget, especially more instances of Lexington.
If you're into cricket they now make a substantial thigh guard replacement...
Sorry, but I cannot go for the Zoolander phone trend. I’m old, and I need a big phone for my aging eyes. Apologies for my ridiculous needs affecting yours…

Even better. A smart waist/hip/thigh - info/com/daw/transport/replication/defense/self destruct personal entertainment system. Dual displays on thighs, keyboard at waist, adjustable display angle supports so you can view them while standing and even lease ad space when not in use. Plenty of room for all kinds of stuff plus it could be self charging.

I'm just glad someone else sees it like this.
I've got an SE and I'm gonna hold onto it till the world comes to its senses and makes phones with headphone jacks as opposed to little tablets with the worst connection (bluetooth) protocol as standard.
And who the hell wants to charge their headphones? Jesus...(shakes his head...)

Yeah someone at some point will release a 4" phone I'm sure. With so many companies making phones, gotta find those niches and find ways to be different.plaamook wrote: ↑26 Sep 2018I'm just glad someone else sees it like this.

And luckily my new phone still has a headphone jack. It unfortunately has micro USB and not USB type-C, which is easier to connect (as is lightning connection on iphones), but not a huge deal breaker.
