Shit battery capacity, bloated OS causing worse battery life, and not enough people actually buying them.

Phones became more frequently used for apps and posting which is a pain on a tiny screen. I built a pi zero powered retro console but actually using the tiny screen of about 3" makes it near impossible to read anything.

I would like to see things return to having replaceable batteries, headphones jacks and maybe slide out keys, but if I have to type and read on the same screen it's awful nice to have some room to work with.

As long as they don't stop making ones my current size (which is also my navi for my motorcycle), then they can make whatever they wish. I think mine (Pixel 6 Pro) is perfect size.

Also on a Pixel 6 Pro, no way would I want a bigger phone.

I’ll continue to carry my iPhone mini since there isn’t a comparable option
