You’re not “most people”. “Most people” want to watch movies and TV and other sorts of media consumption on their phones, and having a larger screen allows one to do that with ease.

Do you carry your TV with you to Dr appts? To work? To the bedroom or kitchen?
Didn’t think so.

Just a friendly reminder to please keep it civil.
This is actually how people live now. It feels crazy to say this but I actually know people like this in real life who use their phone while “watching” a film. There has even been debate about whether production studios are dumbing down scripts to cater to people who are literally not paying attention. We live in insane times.
Yeah I heard about this. Its, really unfortunate and part of the reason I was lashing out so bad. If you follow the comment chain we work it out.
Jackass I’m not watching movies and TV at Dr appts and at work. I make food in the kitchen and I have a TV in my bedroom like an adult.
My wife and I also make food in our kitchen and have a TV on each floor of our house, including our bedroom. However, the TV in our living room (which is on the same floor as our kitchen in an open floorplan) does not - and cannot - face the kitchen at all, so when we are making meals or whatever in the kitchen and want to watch a show, we use our phones. And when I have a dr appt (or I’m on my lunch break), I’ll watch stuff on my phone while I’m waiting.
Is there anything else you want justified, or are you just gonna move the goalposts again?

Watching porn it’s better on a bigger screen. Duh.
my theory is that (most) people want their money’s worth. if you have two phones, one bigger than the other, but you don’t know the prices of each, the perceived value of the bigger one is higher, even in they’re both the same price you wouldn’t assume right away that the bigger one had to cut things out to offset the bigger display.
phones are also a big gift item, and people are not concerned with niche likes in those cases.
I’d say that the increased popularity of foldable phones currently speak of our desire of smaller phones (my partner at least says it’s the reason she loves hers) with a higher perceived value. I hope marketing departments are taking the right notes from these and not that foldable is better.
