> And I'm here to say that phone companies should make smaller phones.

If people bought small phones, companies would make them.

No, because Apple wants to sell us something else than a phone. They want to sell us a vending machine for entertainment. Probably it's the same for the other phone companies.

Actual phones are going out of fashion quite quickly. People want communication devices with several usage options, that once in a full moon work as phones too.

And yes, people want entertainment too. Apple is just submitting to their customers desires.

It feels to me that customers submit to Apple's desires...

Maybe so, but non-Apple phones are designed against those same goals, and their market is pretty competitive.

If those came from Apple instead of consumers, they wouldn't be universal.

People seem to love the unihertz atom and jelly pro, despite the poor cameras, battery life, and UI (due to running standard apps on a small screen)

I'd like my "smartphone" to be a tiny nugget that can (with permission) pair up with any display nearby as needed.
