Why are mobile phone manufacturers no longer producing small screen phones?

Nowadays, the market is mostly dominated by large screen smartphones, and there are many reasons why it is not possible to produce very small smartphones, whether it is Apple or Android manufacturers.

1. The larger the phone screen, the higher the manufacturer's profit margin

You may have noticed that the prices of smartphones are increasing year by year, reflecting the fact that smartphones are becoming increasingly important in our lives, and therefore consumers are willing to spend higher prices on their phones than before.

With the saturation of the mobile phone market, both Apple and Android manufacturers believe that the growth rate of smartphone sales has slowed down, and due to economic conditions and other reasons, people have changed the frequency of phone replacement. This makes the sales of low-end, low-cost smartphones more difficult than in the past. In order to compensate for the overall decline in phone sales, Apple and its competitors need to sell more expensive phones than before to ensure profits.

Small screen phones are usually sold at a lower price because they contain fewer expensive screen panels and components. If manufacturers can earn substantial profits solely by selling small phones, their competitors will easily produce similar small screen phones to lower market prices.

2. The content and services of Apple's iOS system require a larger screen

Apple's iOS system includes an increasing number of services, from Air Pods to Apple Watch, and various subscription services, such as Apple Arcade games and Apple Music music. Smartphones have become the most important media consumption devices, which means that larger screens and better displays must be used to achieve these functions.

3. Modern mobile phone hardware is not suitable for small body sizes

With the advancement of hardware, Apple and its competitors have added more features and components to smartphones, such as various sensors, larger camera modules, and faster processors, which also require larger heat pipes. Leave more space inside to place these things, and the larger the phone screen, the larger the battery.
