You know how in parodies 15 years ago, they made fun of how cell phones were getting smaller and smaller? They stopped that trend about 5 or 6 years ago and started getting bigger and bigger.
I only looked on from the outside as an observer, since I don't have the money to throw away on replacing my phone ever 2 years like everyone else seems to.
But now, with the iPhone SE, they're reversing that trend again.
It reminds me of that scene in Wall-E, where they say "red is the new blue" on all the screens, and suddenly everyone presses the button to change all their personal possessions (including clothing) to blue!
I hate the word sheeple, I really do, but seriously guys, what the hell? It's a fucking phone.
the iPhone SE not existing at the time was the reason I went with Android (I could have gone with an iPhone 5 but I didn't want a past model - and price was a factor as well)
I guess it's not much a reversal of the trend rather as a "return to normal"
Pockets and hands are still the same size as always
I've heard pundits say the reason for bigger phones popularity is amongst people who don't have tablets and PCs as well. Essentially if you have to pick one size of screen for all your needs, then something a bit larger is a good idea.
I've found I definitely use my iPad less now I have a 5.5" iPhone. Is still wouldn't be without an iPad, I love it, but for many tasks I used to switch to the iPad for, now the larger phone is fine.
