Web.com Reviews Makes a Case for Buying a Smaller iPhone

Introduction

If you ask about the number of smartphones or iPhones necessary for the world, the answer would be a much smaller number compared to the phones made by Apple and its competitors. According to Web.com Reviews, if rumors are to be believed the iPhone SE may get a sequel in 2020. Four years may not seem much for a product sequel.

However, when Apple’s iOS updates render your iPhone “obsolete” within a couple of years, four years is a really long time. However, smaller iPhones make a lot of sense and here’s why:

The Reasons

1. One-handed use - Smartphones in general and iPhones since the 6S has been getting larger without a stop. Reaching the upper corners of your smartphone seems impossible now and two-handed use has become the norm. However, many users of smaller smartphones and iPhone SE love the fact that they can type a full email or text and use all the features of their virtual keyboard with one hand. 

Moreover, the typing speed is much faster than on larger phones. Larger phones encourage more content consumption like streaming videos and playing games. On the other hand, a smaller iPhone makes your hand less tired and doesn’t restrict the typing experience to just “manageable”.

2. Buyer confusion - A few years ago upgrading our iPhone or buying a new one for the first time didn’t come with FOMO or loads of their confusion. If you were locked in the Apple ecosystem, upgrading to the latest version of the iPhone was simple enough. You knew you would get new features and the phone would cost maybe 0 or a couple hundred dollars more. Now, with such a long lineup recommending a new iPhone purchase is harder than ever. 

If you want the latest and greatest features with the largest screen, the 9 iPhone 11 Pro is your obvious choice. Things get tricky when you climb down the price ladder. Does the 9 iPhone 11 make more sense or should you go for the XR and save 0. 

Except for a more premium quality selfie lens and an ultrawide lens, there seems to be no difference. If you don’t mind the bezels, the iPhone 8 doesn’t seem so bad at 9. Apple can clear out all that confusion by releasing a large iPhone with all the bells and whistles and a smaller iPhone focused on productivity. 

3. Sustainability - The battle isn’t really against large displays. Samsung, LG, and Sharp make pretty large OLED TVs. However, they haven’t created a market where the consumer is encouraged to buy a new TV every year. At least a smaller iPhone with fewer components is more sustainable and eco-friendlier if Apple releases a new model every year.

Conclusion

Web.com Reviews believes that large iPhones aren’t bad, but the fewer the better. They have a much smaller footprint, carbon or otherwise and put less strain on us as consumers and our beautiful planet.
