Youre not completely wrong but the main influence was probably Youtube. The sad thing is 16:9 phones were the peak of phone evolution, everything after/longer than that is hardware designed specifically for doomscrolling.
I still have my iPhone SE 1st gen with the perfectly ratioed 16:9 display, so nice not having black bars, while also having room to put my thumbs while I hold it in landscape watching a video.
My main phone, a Pixel 7a, is better in every way but my goodness holding it while watching a landscape video is terrible because my fingers keep occasionally touching the edges which are registered.
Which is why I cast away my phone and bring a PSP and my collection of UMDs wherever I go
Checking in with 23:9 narrow fold. Fantastic for reading novels and such but MANY things aren’t designed to be this narrow…
2015? Don’t keep us in suspense! What happened after 2015?
Lol, we all know, but replied to another comment with another graph I found that went to 2019.
still buying only small ones. even with “One-handed mode” i can’t reach everywhere on the big ones with only one hand and my hands are larger than average.
Wow this meme is 8 years old.
Need to expand to 2023.
Found this:
The size was the main factor why I still went with an older Pixel 4a. But then again, I of course am no savage and watch my porn on a proper desktop PC.
I thought humanity had encountered some common sense and most devices aren’t six inches big. I was wrong
I think, I remember how ridiculously large Samsung Galaxy Note 8 felt when it was 6"+ in 2017. Now pretty much every phone is larger, even my old Honor 20 pro appears to be larger than 6".
I still think a phone should allow the user to reach every part of a display with a thumb, but yeah big screen fits more
