Amen. An updated 4" flagship would be incredible! They say that small phones are for people with small hands, but no-one can one-hand a 6" phone without holding it like an idiot. I want the claw grip back!

That and I also have small hands. My current phone is a Pixel 4a, and it's already way past my comfort zone. It's frustrating to use with one hand, and, believe it or not, most of my phone usage is one-handed. It's like all phone manufacturers have collectively forgotten about ergonomics.

Has there ever been a focus on ergonomics over aesthetics by any manufacturer of any tech product over the last decade?

Nothing comes to mind.

Those curved keyboards and mice come to my mind.

Those are from the 1990s.

These exists that somewhat popular Logitech mouse, I don't remember the exact model, but it's "ergonomic" and modern enough that it has USB-C and bluetooth. I've also seen curved modern keyboards, albeit those are rarer.

edit: Logitech MX Master 3

Glove80 is a new curved keyboard design (in many ways a departure from Kinesis' 1990 designs).

The glove80 is nice but it's by one guy if I'm not mistaken. When it comes to ergonomic stuff by big companies I'm still not so sure. Yes logitech made an ergo keyboard but they probably released 5 or 10 "regular" ones for one ergo one.
