as horrifying as it is to say: there's a reason folding phones sell

I had a 6.3" phone and thought I wanted something smaller, got a 6.1" Pixel 6a and found it to be too small for my liking, now I'm using a 6.8" Pixel 8 Pro and honestly, I think I could have managed another 0.2" for a nice round number of 7", but there are no phones like this :D

IPhone 13 mini should still get updates for a few years, but then you're on iOS and it's not like Apple has an upgrade path for small phone fans these days either. It's sad, but apparently people prefer bigger phones.
