people spend a third of their lives on those things. And while cumbersome, a big screen simply is better for media consumption

only way I see smaller phones make a comeback is if we change our habits or if a new technology comes along

A bigger screen is better for text consumption, too. Perhaps especially for that. If you don’t know why, just wait ;D

Seriously as a person getting on in years I always bump up the font size. And if you do this on a mini phone, you run out of usable space immediately.

I wish there were small phone options, too, but I can see why big is the default.

new technology comes along

I believe the RAZR foldables allow you to do almost anything on the front screen, and in the latest iterations the front screen is larger than Samsung's.
