> They're giving the market the size people actually want.

No - call it what it is. They are catering to the largest market segments and ignoring the smaller segments who desire smaller phones.

Reasoning as to why is another thing, but it doesn't negate the existence of the segment who does want one.

Much like there is a segment of the population who wants a brown diesel station wagon.

An Apple Watch with a cellular connection, paired with Airpods, fulfills some of the role of a small iPhone - you can make calls, listen to music, and even do some light texting if Siri likes your accent.

I love my apple watch but I can safely say i've never done any of the above with it. It's too much of a pain to switch the bluetooth headphones to it and the screen is too small to do much actual computing with it. The fitness aspects are totally worth the money, though.
