As a non-power-user, I mostly keep my phone in the pocket, where I’d like it to be small.
I’d almost go for a dumb phone, almost... but then I need emails, maps and WhatsApp.
I don’t need 50 filters, 3 cameras, razor-thin (yet somehow enormous) body, more Storage than my laptop, etc etc...
Yeah, I really wanted to ditch owning a phone at all when my last one broke but I realised that too many services require having some sort of authenticator or phone for two factor authentication. Banks literally require having a mobile phone as they will require you to authenticate transactions through their app. So I'm still chained to the damn thing.

But nobody makes a small dumb phone either! I'd be ok with a dumb phone, if it is small.
