[deleted post]> You're only looking at expected *production* figures, not actual *sales* numbers. The latter is a far bigger determining factor.

> Not necessarily everyone who are planning to buy the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro want their smaller size, but because they offer better value than their bigger versions.

> Android makers who only make compact flagships are almost certainly just copying Apple's strategy, but none of them could ever match Apple in sales numbers.

> Apple doesn't make cheap iPhones.

> Chinese manufacturers rule the budget market with their big phones, so other companies like Samsung can't apply the same strategy they use for their flagships to their budget lineup if they want to compete against them.

        Here’s a quick education on some fundamentals. It’s very worth the read.

        First, let’s define the terms:
        “Device size”: length from top to bottom of device itself.
        “Display size”: screen size measured diagonally, usually bigger than device size.

        Examples:
        S24 Ultra: 6.8 inch display, 6.39 inch device
        S24 Plus: 6.7 inch display, 6.24 inch device
        S24: 6.2 inch display, 5.79 inch device

        Conclusion:
        Device can be a half inch smaller than display without sacrificing anything.

        So why is the gap between display and device size in budget phones much less? Because of useless bezels i.e. dead space around the screen that just contributes to a bulkier device size for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. The most egregious example is the A14 with a 6.6 display and 6.6 device size due to its gigantic bezels. Remove that dead space and you’re left with a more manageable 6.2 inch device. The A15 is somewhat better, but the gap is still 6.5 to 6.3. The A55/A35 are slightly better, with a gap of 6.6 to 6.34/6.37, but they can also be 6.2 inches.

        But will the battery fit? Well, the 6.23 inch A54 clearly shows a 5000 mAh battery fitting into 6.2 inches. So why are bezels added? To purposely stick it to budget customers! It’s not like the manufacturer has to go out of their way and do anything extra for budget customers, just DON’T ADD dead space!

        You may ask: “What’s a few tenths of an inch already?” Well guess what, the difference between a compact device and a big bulky one is often less than an inch. So in phones, every tenth of an inch makes a real difference.

        Weight is also a problem. As an example, the S24 Plus is 6.91 oz. So why is the A15 - 7.05 oz, the A14 - 7.13 oz, the A55 - very heavy at 7.37 oz, and the A35 - an astounding 7.51 oz! The A13 seems to manage just fine at 6.88 oz. And when you’re holding a phone for a while, you can bet that those ounces (or grams) add up to tire and/or hurt your hand!

        Bottom line:
        In addition to the discussion of producing actual compact phones that are affordable which should absolutely be done, today’s budget phones can be more manageable IN THEIR CURRENT FORM if their useless dead space and extra weight is removed.

          Anonymous, 18 Aug 2024Small phones are "nonsense" for you, but for many... moreApple is pretty much the reason why Samsung only makes compact flagships, and why Google decided to make a compact Pixel Pro this year. They're basically copying Apple's strategy in hopes of overtaking iPhone sales.

          Meanwhile in the low and midrange market where iPhones don't exist, Chinese companies are the reason why Samsung won't even bother making budget compact phones. Pretty much every best-selling phone from Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus have display sizes of 6.5 inches and over. So Samsung has no choice but to follow along.

It's enough cheap price for this kind phone. Flagships cost more as 600 - 1000 euros (included old flagships like S21, S22 or any S class fan edition)

I've got the 8/256 model for $335 USD on discount (original price is $413), and I think it's a pretty good purchase unless you're looking for performance or camera quality.

                          Anonymous, 22 Aug 2024We'll see what happens with the Iphone SE 4.Unfortunately, the iPhone SE 2020 and 2022 failed to make an impact on the budget segment in terms of making other companies produce their own compact budget options. Because they both use horribly outdated designs dating back to the iPhone 6/6S/7/8, were still too overpriced, and didn't sell nearly as well as the flagship iPhones,

                          Several leaks suggest that the iPhone SE 4 will have the same design as the iPhone 13/14, so I'm sure it'll sell better than previous SEs, but it needs to be like in the top 5 best selling phones of the year to make an actual impact.

                                Its a good phone but priced way higher than it should be. Its price is as same as some flagship devices. Plus there is no 3.5mm jack. How can I enjoy my audiophile $500 sennheiser headphones. And no I will not use type-c port for a gear intended to be used with a 3.5mm jack.
