I love to see compact fones between 5.5 - 6 inches in size which would be more pocket friendly.

Will be waiting for small phones to make a comeback in the future, until then the only option we have is to buy used/refurbished compact phones from the past decade.

I think they have some money flowing, to keep out 80% of the phones that are
available globally. That or some money between the FCC & Apple/Samsung to
increase the license for the frequencies on the modem chip. Many of the other
devices don't have the common frequencies for the USA.

My FIRST smartphone was a Dell Streak 5. It was so funny when I showed it to coworkers, most had iphones. They would lay their phone over mine and say "your screen, is bigger than my entire phone". Another would ask why I "needed" a phone that big? Ummm because I didn't like squinting to see what was on the screen?
Now, most people have 6" screens. My P6 Pro is 6.5+ and if it was 7, that would be even better. Older I get, the larger the screen I like.

I love smaller devices.
Never was a fan of the giga phones , always thought people could use tablets if they wanted to.
The flip / fold approach , allowing us small form factors with big content comsumption screens is a good one and needs to be perfected.

It is more psychological, your mind can easily confuse between the two thin-colored lines unless you consciously try to see the difference. Some people are just less capable of seeing fine differences.

put iPadOS into a mini iPhone
it will crash, lag and buggy.
buggy not because of OS,
but the experience using it, swiping it, reading it - become slower, difficult, not ergonomic.
the low spec small screen make productivity going less.
if u use phone just for telephony - iPhone is just overpriced for you.
better buy a proper luxury phone, like Vertu.

The Flip, 18 Jul 2022I would choose two smaller phones over a dual screen phone.... moreThis article talks about the launch of two Sharp-branded phones (exclusive to Japan):
https://www.gsmarena.com/sharp_aquos_r7_gets_sd_8_gen_1_and_improved_1_sensor_aquos_wish2_tags_along-news-54230.php
The Sharp Aquos Wish2 is a small 5.7-inch phone and the specs are excellent.
It's so cool that it even makes me want to travel all the way to Japan just to buy it.
Plus it looks great:

The Xperia Ace series are great little phones (again, exclusive to Japan):
https://www.gsmarena.com/renders_show_sony_xperia_ace_iii_design_a_small_phone_with_a_55_display-news-53511.php
The Japanese have many options but for some reason the iPhone SE is the best selling phone in Japan, I think the size of the iPhone SE is exaggerated.
