There are phones made with small screens still. Stop complaining that large-screen phones don't have small screens and just buy a phone that has the small screen you want.
But the small screen phones pretty much never have the same features as the large screen phones. The person you're responding to wants a 2018 phone with a small screen, not a 2016 phone with a small screen.
Claiming that arguments in favor of large screens are "so lame" is itself extremely lame and tone deaf. Clearly most people want a large screen. Clearly most people will still buy a phone without a headphone jack. Personally I want an iPhone X with a fingerprint scanner, but no one cares, and Apple isn't reading these threads anyway.
Clearly most people want a thin professional laptop. Clearly most people will still buy a professional laptop without ports.
