The iPhone SE is dead, and with it, the compact smartphone as a mainstream product. What happened?

    You can. You just can’t have a small iPhone. Android phones are also a mainstream product, they’re just not popular with people who have thousands of dollars to blow on iPhones.

    Android phones are, in fact, more popular than iPhones worldwide, and have nearly half the market in the US.

      Great, but small Android phones are still few and far between. The Jelly Star is a notable exception, but those devices don’t seem to get much in the way of long-term support
