The Popularity of the 4.7″ iPhone

There are at least two other variables which will lead to the same pattern - the weight of the phone and its price. Larger phones are heavier and more expensive. Thus, saying 4.7" phones are popular is like saying:

1) Lighter phones are more popular

2) Cheaper phones are more popular

It's anecdotal, but I've never seen someone care about the weight of a phone as a decisive factor.

Hi, I care significantly about the weight.

I find all the new X series iPhones to be too heavy.

100% agree. I went into an Apple Store for the first time in a long while just a few weeks ago, and I couldn't believe how heavy the phones have gotten I have an iPhone 6 now and just don't see a good reason to upgrade. Even if I can't upgrade to iOS 13, I'll probably wait another year or two.

I have.

Do anecdotes and anti-anecdotes cancel out like sound waves, or blow up like matter and antimatter?
