why did 3 happen because I never stopped buying them. I had a Pixel 4a that I used until it almost exploded. I’m on a 6a now and this thing is uncomfortable. I miss typing with one hand.
You’re not “most people”. “Most people” want to watch movies and TV and other sorts of media consumption on their phones, and having a larger screen allows one to do that with ease.
Why do people buy TVs? I feel like people forgot we used to have deligated tools. I can open a can with my pocket knife, but it’s not the ideal way to do it… ugh
Watching porn it’s better on a bigger screen. Duh.
my theory is that (most) people want their money’s worth. if you have two phones, one bigger than the other, but you don’t know the prices of each, the perceived value of the bigger one is higher, even in they’re both the same price you wouldn’t assume right away that the bigger one had to cut things out to offset the bigger display.
phones are also a big gift item, and people are not concerned with niche likes in those cases.
I’d say that the increased popularity of foldable phones currently speak of our desire of smaller phones (my partner at least says it’s the reason she loves hers) with a higher perceived value. I hope marketing departments are taking the right notes from these and not that foldable is better.
