I miss the times when I found 5" phones big. Now they just seem small because everything else is pushing 7"

They suck and also the higher capacity batteries take up too much space now.

One thing that annoys me with the market at the moment is that the majority of folding phones available are like small crappy tablets that fold into a large, impractical to carry phones, and not large, very usable phones that fold into something much more compact that is easier to carry..
Smaller phones do have a place though. I've got a 7-year old son with Type 1 diabetes. We wears a Glucose Monitor that requires a Bluetooth connection to get a reading. He needs to carry a mobile phone for this reason, and because of his size, and the fact that he needs to carry it basically all the time, a smaller phone is best. He does not need a camera, or to browse social media.
Put it on a badge and make it so when you push on it, you say who you want call and it calls them.
Also make the badge the starfleet logo.
So, a smartwatch? Pretty sure someone has made "badge" holders for some models by now, just like you can get a brand new iPod.
Because most people want big screens?
I mean, it is simple.
