I think the industry just got going towards that goal. It was nice at one time but in the absence of true invasion they are following the old trend.
I for one would like the companies to have a phone with long lasting battery. It should be rated in days rather than hour. I'm willing to give up slimmness and screen size.
Smallness would also be nice. I would like to be able to carry my phone on my Keychain.
I can see a use where I would rather have just a phone without a large screen.
The industry has gotten into a rut where incremental improvements that differ little from what apple defined as a phone 9 years ago and have not moved from that.
