OEM's follow what sells, which is probably whatever has been pushed to consumers via big corp marketing. i wouldn't be surprised if "smaller is better" is the next fad though.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoAnd since marketing is a science of convincing people to buy absolutely arbitrary stuff, it seems to me that what ultimately decides the direction of the next trend is random fluctuations. When you can't win the market by making your phone even thinner, some other - likely random - factor will temporarily attract more customers, at which point the marketing machinery of everyone will focus on it, and again push it into its limits.
- JustSomeNobody 11y ago> OEM's follow what sells... To a degree, yes. But lately it seems OEMs have been using the "I can make mine thinner than yours because we have more engineering fu than u." to one up one another despite what consumers are saying they want (battery life).
