You're right - there's no one size fits all solution. I'm glad that phones have gotten bigger because they fit my use cases, and based on their popularity I'm definitely not alone. I am surprised that 4" phones have been lost - especially by Apple. Despite the low sales of the 5c, I figured we'd still see a 6c to satisfy those not wanting a bigger phone. It seems like a decent number of people are refusing to upgrade to a newer iPhone, and I'm not aware of any good, modern Android phones at 4" for these people to switch to.

The closest you get to a good, small Android is Sony's Xperia Z(1,3,5) Compact series. They're about 1 cm shorter than an iPhone 6/6S mainly because they don't have the home button, but that's still about 0.5 cm taller and 1 cm wider than a 4" iPhone.
