I wouldn’t call 10 m a year „doesn’t sell“. It might not sell like the bigger ones but there’s definitely a market for it

- moffkalast 4y agoClearly not enough to warrant a production line, otherwise there would be some offerings for it from some Android maker.
- rplnt 4y agoOr is it that marketing has been telling customers that bigger is better for the past decade? I wouldn't give too much credit to an average consumer.
- Gigachad 4y agoThere is no marketing. Bigger is just better. I got the regular sized iPhone and every time I pick up the pro max it feels good. It’s visually more striking, it’s nicer to use. It’s just a little harder to hold but with two hands is still fine.
- narag 4y agoClearly? Are you sure? Paraphrasing Contact: First rule in cell phone building: why build small when you can build twice as big at twice the price?
- moffkalast 4y agoI 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.
- narag 4y agoSure, 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.
