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.


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.
