New-ish meaning anything that has 4G. Today every phone i See is huge and annoying.

Isn't there always one Google Pixel model and one iPhone, that's a bit smaller than the average? I mean there has to be a list of small phones somewhere on the internet.

The iPhone 13 mini was discontinued in 2023, I think.

Now you can choose the smallest “big” phone, but it’s still big.

I hate this.

I just bought a new battery for my 12 mini, I’m not going to upgrade until small phones are back.

But also this phone still works perfectly, it’s like the day I bought it after the new battery.

Be interesting to see if it happens, but like cars, manufacturers are going down a “bigger is better” route.

I was at a subaru dealership and they had a mid 2000s Subaru next to a new one

The old one was awesome, big windows, good storage, small footprint. It was way smaller than the modern one, which is a full on SUV.

Interesting. I always have heard and had the experience that eventually updates make the phone worse.

[-] xektop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

On Apple they were intentionally gimping your phone with updates and they got sued to change that practice. So you were correct to think that.

2022 iPhone SE Gen 3 will be the last 4.7 inch screen. Gen 4 is rumored to be a 6.1 inch.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 points 1 day ago

Oh wow, that's small. I've had a Pixel 4a for the last few years and that was already small at 5.8 inches, compared to what other people carry around... Idk what OP's use case is... My Pixel was great, but I'd advise against buying a phone that doesn't get the security vulnerabilities fixed any more... And the successors have become larger and heavier. Idk maybe one if the flip-phones?

[-] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I’m still using my 2020 SE that has the same screen size. It’s needed a battery swap last year which set me back $50, but that was installed at the Apple Store.

Apple supports their phones for quite a few years. When they drop support for this phone I’ll be on the new small phone journey myself.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm really happy that Google took inspiration from that long support period. I personally don't like buying new phones. And at this point it's not like the next generation can make me a sandwich or anything new. I've upgraded recently and skipped several generations and like 4 years of technological advances and yeah, it looks almost the same, I run the same apps on it. It just has a better camera, plus the fingerprint reader is on the other side... I would have been fine with my old phone if that were still supported. My new one is nice, but it doesn't really change anything about my life.
