I don’t see the 4” screen coming back, though :(

I can see people not liking phones like > 6" screens because they are too hard to hold but it seems like 4" screens are too far in the opposite direction.

Hard disagree. 4-inches screens were a thing because that’s the perfect size for a human hand. Phones became huge when content consumption got prioritized over ergonomics.

Don’t take my word for it. Just see this Apple’s iPhone 5 commercial: https://youtu.be/16GkG_uDj_k

Clear as day. “Common sense”.

I have an iPhone 6 that I keep around (I normally use an iPhone SE, of course) and I don't really like it much; I find it uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time and I constantly have to use Reachability to get at stuff :(
