Sadly, the number of people who want 3.5" screens is very small these days. I suspect the die was cast when Asian women (despite stereotypically having more petite hands) voted with their wallets for large (5", 6"+) phones.

Smaller phones sell less well, this is borne out by sales figures across geographies and brands, to the point where even the iPhone mini is 5.2" -- it would considered humongous back in 2007.

So yes, while I sympathize (and I have small hands myself), I think it's a losing battle, like CD vs MP3. Personally I've just adapted to the iPhone 11 size.

Asian women somehow like huge phones for some reason.. I've seem some that were literally small tablets (think 7-8" without folding) and they were always carried by Asian women when I saw them. Maybe this is coincidence. But I've never actually seen these phone models on the market in Europe so I don't think so.

Personally I don't like phones too small, for me the Samsung S-series (5.8" with bezels e.g. S8, 6.2" without bezels e.g. S21) is perfect for me. I have a OnePlus 8 now which is S8+ sized and that's too big for sure. It's not even the one-handed use, it's just clamping it in my hand, it's just too wide for comfort. Especially with a case on it.
