And can you give a number on the "vocal minority"? Because companies usually sell what customers want and if the majority of the phones on the market is big, then that's what people want.
I am guessing
- put best specs in largest devices (fomo-ish, status symbol) - put highest cost on largest devices (status symbol) - um? not even create smaller devices would also do it I guess?
- market SUV’s.
- stock dealerships with mostly SUV’s
- complain that nobody is buying non-SUV’s (they can’t, it’s only suv stock),
- stop selling non-SUV models.
- complete transformation into indeterminate, indistinguishable car brand no.3564.
It's very similar to smart TVs. Yes, most people do prefer smart TVs, but vendors use it very successfully to sell inferior displays (poor color, poor contrast etc), to compensate and to pull more selling margin, since that's how the consumer functions (being utterly unable to quantify display quality for an uncalibrated TV). Anyway, I am digressing -- the point of my comparison is that it's complicated and not nearly as simple as "consumers want larger phones / TVs with slow menus and shitty picture as long as there's Netflix in there".
