One thing that annoys me with the market at the moment is that the majority of folding phones available are like small crappy tablets that fold into a large, impractical to carry phones, and not large, very usable phones that fold into something much more compact that is easier to carry..

Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you'll find they're actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn't even there. You're just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?

I miss the times when I found 5" phones big. Now they just seem small because everything else is pushing 7"

Does anyone with a small phone (like 5.5" or less) find it usable?

My current one is 6.2" and I find it almost too small to use well, especially typing with such tiny keys, and I always wish I could see more on the screen at once.

You can. Even if life can get complicated is entirely doable. Unless you live in like China with mandatory apps.

people like larger phones because they like social media. For people in developing countries a cell phone is their only personal computer so for them having larger screen more preferable. People just like larger phones. I loath them because I don't have pockets. I could probably live with a dumb phone, but mobile banking, and maps are too useful of a feature for me to live without out. tbh unless your a power user or gamer there really isn't much of a reason to upgrade your cellphone anyway

Put it on a badge and make it so when you push on it, you say who you want call and it calls them.

Also make the badge the starfleet logo.

So, a smartwatch? Pretty sure someone has made "badge" holders for some models by now, just like you can get a brand new iPod.
