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

It's not a phone. The phone aspect is not important to me at least.
