I have a friend who switched his Galaxy A5 2016 for an iPhone 5s because he was so desperate for an iPhone. He found the 5S was so laggy with iOS 11, so he replaced with an SE. He never felt comfortable with the screen size so he just replaced that with a 6s. He has had 3 iPhones in a year. With all that money spent he could've got an iPhone 7, but he was so desperate to be part of Apple land....

        Only if Android Manufacturer had produced flagship compact phones. But they are following silly Notch and 6 Inch Screen. 4.5-5 inch is ideal screen size for most of people.

I have an iPhone 7 and I never ever missed the 5 inch screen of my Xperia M4 Aqua. If someone was desperate to have the Apple branding, he would buy an iPhone SE if new or a 5s used. The iPhone 8 is great because it offers the newest tech of iPhone X and so 8 Plus for cheaper, like the S9 does compared to the S9 Plus. Who wants those big-ass phablet things anyways? When I see them, I think about those instagram models with their fat phones way too big for their small hands.

                Luxor, 06 Jul 2018I understand there are two group of people. Compact lovers ... moreYup, I was surprised too, I excepted the plus size to be the most selling ones, I'm a plus size screen person as well, I find it uncomfortable to watch videos and photos in such small screens but I guess most people are still into petite screen size uh :p

                    I'd never buy an iPhone but I applaud how good they are at figuring out what the masses want. It's 2018, everyone's making phones with 6" screens and 8GB of RAM but the best selling phone is only 4.7" and 2GB

                        i don't believe that

                          Luxor, 06 Jul 2018iPhone 8 best seller in May?

There are two groups of people. One group prefer compact phones and the others follow the bigger is better moto. So the manufacturers obviously know this and that's why these iphone 8 and 8 plus or pixel 2 and pixel 2XL or S9 and S9+ or Sony XZ2 and XZ2 compact exist lol

                            Sad that an iphone SE2 wont be coming, seems that was only a 2016 gap to cover losses. Sorry for the 4 inch fans. Will be interesting see some benchmarks about the A9 in comparison with the latest snapdragons.

                                Luxor, 06 Jul 2018iPhone 8 best seller in May? I couldnt live with a small ph... moreSize doesn't matter. Its specs and design that matters. Why do you think Apple stick with 4'7 design for so long? Its because most of their customers said that its perfect compact size. I personally have 6s and 7 plus. 7 plus is main phone mostly because of battery life and because I also like bigger screen.

Some, (like you) like the large sized phones, and it's absulutely legitimate preference. Because it's what you like and want. There is another group, that likes the petite size, and it's legitimate as well, because that's what THEY want and need. People are different Luxor. It's what makes our world so beautiful
