Note that every time a company comes up with a choice between a smaller phone and a larger phone (up to some limit when you get into phablet territory), the larger phone sells in much, much higher numbers. Apple themselves tried the Mini, it sold at best a few percent of how well the regular phones sell.

While you, personally, might prefer smaller phones, and that's a perfectly valid preference, you are very much in the minority.
