Most of us here work with workstations or laptops, daily. But generally speaking not as many people are using them in their home. A lot of folks do use their phones primarily for media watching and browsing. And that's a big chunk of Apple's market.
- iso1631 6y agoIt makes perfect sense to have Cheap phone with big screen and not much else - the "lowest common denominator" Expensive phone with big screen - the "power user" Expensive phone with small screen - the mobile user Laptops tend to come in such groupings, why is the last group ignored when it comes to phones?
- vbezhenar 6y agoMy theory is they want us to forget about small phones and then reintroduce them as a shiny new feature. History goes in spiral.
- nordsieck 6y ago> why is the last group ignored when it comes to phones? Presumably because there isn't actually that much demand for that category. Apple tried it out with the original SE and they have the sales data. If there were tons of people clamoring for a sequel, they would have made one instead of a refreshed iPhone 8.
- Leherenn 6y agoI think one part is that they're afraid to be grilled by reviews leading to bad sales. A $1000 4" phone won't have the same capabilities as a $1000 6.5" phone, and reviewers somehow do not seem to understand it might be ok and will trash the smaller phone.
