It's hard to come to terms with the sheer lack of imagination and variety in the smartphone market. A few examples: 1. It's now all but impossible to find a phone with flagship specifications in anything smaller than a 5" form factor. You would think some company somewhere would be trying to capture the market for smaller phones but no. Sony has done this for a while but hasn't released a compact version of their latest offering. 2. In the space of less than a year the questionable design choice of adding a notch to the top of the screen has become ubiquitous. This follows a larger trend of just about every phone maker trying to make their product look as much like an iPhone as possible rather than trying to create a distinct aesthetic. 3. Headphone jacks have mostly disappeared for little discernible reason despite the overwhelming consumer preference for them. Why aren't there any smartphone manufacturers trying to differentiate by keeping the jack? The list goes on. It boggles the mind how a market that has existed for like 10 years became so homogeneous and creatively bankrupt.
