remember when HN was saying "nobody wants big smartphones, why does the industry keep doing this? iPhone 4 size is the perfect size"
hint - the industry is doing EXACTLY what (most) consumers want. there is a big difference between what a consumer tells you they want, and what actually they pay for
Anecdotally, I have gotten many compliments on my small Unihertz phones that I've owned over the years, particularly from women.
As far as revealed preference goes, those who complimented me on it all had the smallest iPhone available when purchased.
Physical media is dying, so that's a strange conclusion to draw.
