As long as they don't stop making ones my current size (which is also my navi for my motorcycle), then they can make whatever they wish. I think mine (Pixel 6 Pro) is perfect size.

I bought a pixel fold because the screen on the front is small and it opens in a wide format when I need to look at tables
Same reason I have a Samsung Fold. 75% of the time it's a small phone for small regular tasks. When consuming media, I open up.

Bigger screens mean bigger and more obtrusive ads.
I'm convinced this is 90% of the reason right here.

I don’t see why we don’t already have an iPod size device. I just need something for music and if a phone call happens to come in - great! It was so simple then.
Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you'll find they're actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn't even there. You're just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?
this right here is the issue, people don't even remember the size smartphone used to be. I've got a phone that's one of the smallest available that still have decent hardware. the screen is still 6.1 inch. your example of a reasonable size is 6.3 inches.
what op and I are actually looking for is something around 5 - 5.3 inches instead, like smartphone used to be. For that size, all that is available today is no-name chinese phones with shit hardware and no support. the big brands are busy selling 6.2 inches as "compact" where it used to be considered phablet size

Porn. Next question
They suck and also the higher capacity batteries take up too much space now.

I miss the times when I found 5" phones big. Now they just seem small because everything else is pushing 7"

I was small phone enjoyer until my Sony Z3 Compact. I really liked it, but after it died, I tried bigger phones and I couldn't go back.
