One-handed phones are a dying breed. It makes sense, but it's also a bummer.

    Perhaps the perfect opportunity to stop buying Apple products?

          Fairphone is barely profitable with the current ones. Forget they can Risk making a niche-Product

        Depends on their needs. If they purely want a phone that fits nice in a pocket, a Z Flip will do. But if they really want the small screen, there are niche brands like Unihertz, which recently released the Jelly Star, a 3" phone with pretty decent specs.

      I find that to be a good option. Unfortunately, given my current needs, the Apple Watch is the best device to meet them, so I’m stuck with the iPhone. And yes, I’ve researched the Galaxy Watch, too, but app integration and health measurements are considered lackluster compared to the AW.
