I used to like small phones. I thought the form factor of my erstwhile iPhone 5 was perfect.

But then I got older, and my eyesight got worse. Reading small fonts on small screens is becoming increasingly difficult, but I'm not yet at the point where I have to wear glasses or contacts all the time. I also don't like just increasing font sizes, as I lose screen realestate. So I'm kinda starting to see why some people like phones with bigger screens.

I don't get why you'd want a smaller phone unless you're looking to get one in a flip-phone style form factor. I'd be down for that. I miss being able to accurately text from my pocket.

I just went phone shopping not too long ago and had the opposite experience. Bigger phones are way harder to find now. Where the hell are the 6 or 7 inchers? 😩
