I think that they’re simply too small for heavier usage. Imagine the average person uses their phone for 5 hours per day. An iPhone 13 mini is too small for that much usage. When I enabled the myopia warning that alerts me when I’m holding the phone too closely, I started receiving the warnings every time I used it. Turns out I have been holding the phone too close all of my life! Naturally, I increased the font size to be more suitable. This created two problems: 1. The phone now shows significantly less information and is nearing the point of annoyance for me. 2. Many websites outright break when I increase the font size to a suitable size. Better css would fix these issues, but the web is full of poor css implementations (including hn). If I were to only use my phone for calls and the occasional text for about 30 minutes per day, an iPhone 5S would be perfect. But using it for more than that makes it clear that I should probably get a larger phone to protect my eyesight and enable a better experience. Unfortunately, my next phone will be larger to make it more useful. I don’t use any form of social media. Only texting and some web browsing. I would consider myself a light phone user. I’d have to imagine these annoyances would be worse for someone that uses their phone more heavily than me. Maybe one day I’ll be able to use iMessage from my Linux desktop and use a small phone again. Until that happens, I’m pursuing a larger phone size.
