And can you give a number on the "vocal minority"? Because companies usually sell what customers want and if the majority of the phones on the market is big, then that's what people want.

The problem isn't that this hypothetical vocal minority is completely imaginary, but that consumers will repeatably gravitate toward the biggest and most glitterliest product. Only few realizes it's not what they want.

Hmm, or they fabricate the demand so they can fulfill it. SUVs anyone?

As an outsider, how do they do that?

I am guessing

- put best specs in largest devices (fomo-ish, status symbol) - put highest cost on largest devices (status symbol) - um? not even create smaller devices would also do it I guess?

		I mean, the suv case is easy: - market SUV’s. - stock dealerships with mostly SUV’s - complain that nobody is buying non-SUV’s (they can’t, it’s only suv stock), - stop selling non-SUV models. - complete transformation into indeterminate, indistinguishable car brand no.3564.
