Important to consumers, yes. Important to OEMs? No, quite the opposite. I don't think that applies to screen size.

If you believe this then why even argue against us with this "the market decided" BS argument in the first place? You're arguing out of both sides of your mouth and contradicting your previous comments.

What did you even mean if not to imply that people weren't buying specifically large phones because they didn't include these anti-features?

I wasn't implying anything. I stated that manufacturers put things like a headphone jack into a phone that seems like it was built by Fisher Price and then point to it's lack of sales and claim "people don't want headphone jacks"

So then you agree consumers want bigger phones?

Uh, no, I'm saying that consumers don't always act rationally and make the best decisions which is why "market trends" can't just be taken at face value. 1/4lb is actually smaller than 1/3lb if you weren't aware, but consumers saw the bigger number and thought the smaller burger was the better value even though reality says otherwise.

I'll trade you as mine all seem to be made for someone several inches shorter than me.

They're slowly upgrading our work machines and I'm not looking forward to finally being forced to use it.

Any smart TV can do that if you don't connect it to the internet.

You gotta level strength and dexterity with the Firekeeper first. What did you pick as your starting class?

It's pretty bad, though I do like the console and game library otherwise (and in spite of Nintendos shenanigans). Trying to play two player minecraft with my kid is a sure-fire way to get it to freeze completely.

Wasn't the rest of that season them showing how the people lived after they left the island but before reaching the church? It has also been years for me.

Let’s all meet at the church and kum ba yah.

As a character literally named "Christian Shephard" leads us into the gates of heaven. 🤮

You forget that all phones used to be small.

I haven't forgotten that. You may have forgotten that all phones came with swappable batteries, small screens, and headphone jacks and they sold millions of them for decades. That proves these are important features because they sold well, right?

Also all those examples you gave apply to all phones, not just small one

What does that even mean? All phones come with old hardware and are poorly built outside of a couple key features?

Apple sold a 13 Mini, which was nearly identical to the 13, as much as is physically possible, and it was a dud.

So identical that they were nearly the same price which could put a lot of buyers off if they feel like they're getting less value for their money. Consumers also think that 1/4lb burgers are better than 1/3lb burgers because they're bigger as A&W found out in the 1980s when trying to compete against McDonalds. "The market deciding" doesn't mean anything rational happened or that it reflects reality. You're simply cherrypicking the result you want and shaping it to fit your argument.

Their justifications is that he was "technically in an area that he shouldn't have been in" even though he and his supervisor both confirmed that they were never told not to be there and that they had zero signage or cones up to inform people of the danger.

I guess they expect their employees to have ESP and just know these things without having to tell any of them.

Dude was probably on an arsenal of mind altering drugs the moment they wheeled him into the ER, so I don't find it surprising at all. People do and say all kinds of kooky stuff when recovering from anesthesia without remembering it.
