People didn't prefer shit. This is a supply-driven market, vendors put out whatever they want, and we deal with it.

Are these smaller phones in room with use right now? Where can I buy an iPhone 8-sized iPhone? Or an iPhone 4-sized iPhone?

The only ones who "preferred" "smaller" aka thinner phones are Apple with their psychotic "it's thinner again" yearly presentations.

Why waste space for gaskets and o-rings when you can already get the battery changed out while you wait with glue? Glue is clearly the superior method, which is why almost the entire market has adopted it.

Heat pads exist even in the most basic repair shops. It's not advanced technology, no need to over-engineer it.
