A comment on New iPhone SE. Parent comment

I guess, but seems weird to me to watch video on public transport instead of listening to music or a podcast, or reading something (which I do use my phone for). Then again, I don't have good public transport where I live, so I don't spend time on it to know.

But it's more about do enough people want to watch video in public or on the go such that large phones became the dominating choice?

And the same question, why does it seem “weird” that other people have different preferences than you?

Fair enough, but I edited my comment to add that it surprises me that this preference became the popular one. The reason being that in a public place, people can often see what you're watching and there are potentially a lot of distractions, plus on transport the ride might won't always be smooth.

Given your handle I can understand your concern...
