Clearly not enough to warrant a production line, otherwise there would be some offerings for it from some Android maker.

Clearly? Are you sure?

Paraphrasing Contact: First rule in cell phone building: why build small when you can build twice as big at twice the price?

I mean it's not like this has been a sudden shift, phones have been getting gradually larger over the years. I seriously doubt manufacturers would be using more materials to make a smaller amount of larger phones instead of more smaller ones if the larger versions didn't sell that much more.

Or is it that marketing has been telling customers that bigger is better for the past decade? I wouldn't give too much credit to an average consumer.

Sure, I just meant that maybe smaller phones are profitable, just less profitable than bigger ones, so companies incentivize the latest.

I've given up. My plan is buying a dumbphone until Pine is usable by me.

There is no marketing. Bigger is just better. I got the regular sized iPhone and every time I pick up the pro max it feels good. It’s visually more striking, it’s nicer to use. It’s just a little harder to hold but with two hands is still fine.
