Question...

Do customers actually like bigger phones with bigger screens?

Or were customers going to buy the latest phone anyways, and manufacturers are incorrectly assuming they bought the bigger phone because they wanted it?

And then the other question...when manufacturers bundle specific features with the larger size and leave them off the smaller size, are they assuming people are buying the larger phone because it's larger, and not because of the specific features of that model? Like, I bought a Pixel 6 Pro because of the better camera, not because it's larger.



>Do customers actually like bigger phones with bigger screens?

is the iphone SE the best selling iphone? We've had multiple generations for people to do as you claim and say 'na didn't like it' but instead that's not what happens. they like phones with bigger screens.

>Like, I bought a Pixel 6 Pro because of the better camera, not because it's larger.

The pro was about 5mm longer than the non pro. The size variance was basically nill. in exchange for 5mm longer phone, the pro customers get and additional ~12mm2 of screen space. The whole thing is a red herring and nothing to do with the conversation.


>Do customers actually like bigger phones with bigger screens?

Sales Data and Survey suggest yes. They are simply using it like a mini tablet.
