    When was the last time a small phone that didn’t also focus on being budget friendly and feature-limited hit the market? I don’t think this argument holds water since the market hasn’t been adequately tested. There are plenty of us lurking in dark corners waiting for a small but powerful phone. We are willing to sacrifice some battery life as that is a physical barrier, but there’s really no necessity to skimp on anything else. Eventually an option will present itself, but I agree with the article, the Jetstream is not blowing that direction. I don’t anticipate such an option will present anytime soon. All pendulums swing back eventually though.

      You forget that the entire market used to be comprised of exclusively “small” phones, and we moved away from that.

      The iPhone 13 Mini and ASUS Zenfone, not so long ago.
