47% percent of voters wanted a ~6" phone, and 12% of voters a ~7" phone.

I guess me and the remaining 41% of voters are still left wishing for 5" phones to make a comeback.

Supply chain has left us.

Since there's no new development happening with small phones, we'd have to settle for "older spec" screens (IE, new stock iPhone 5 screens, with none of the colour accuracy, frame-rate etc improvements from the last 10 years).

People don't like "old spec", so they'd probably not buy those devices.

If you're a small player, then you're downstream of the supply chain, you don't make the rules.

Chicken and Egg problem.

Ironically people think there's no market for small phones due to apple making a "small phone" which had a larger screen size than an iPhone 6.. which was when phones started getting too big for me, and many people I spoke to.

So, you make a small phone that isn't actually small, it sells like poop so you presume that people don't want small phones..

> colour accuracy, frame-rate

Absolutely irrelevant for what I do with a phone, and I'd wager that 90% of users would not notice the difference.

I had iPhone 12 Mini and then 14 and now 17. I can't practically tell the difference except for battery life, weight, and size.

It will be pretty imperceivable when you stay within the same ecosystem. If you went from your 17 and then went to a mid tier phone like a Samsung A71, you would notice a difference.

Display is something I for sure started paying attention to when I was jumping back and forth between Android and Apple when I went from my OnePlus to Apple and then to Samsung noticed differences.

Small improvements add up.

If GP picked up that 12 again, they’d notice.
