Once users have given up on comfortable single-handed use, the only limiting factor is pocket size.
For me, that means once it passes about 65mm in width, I might as well jump to ~80mm in width, which is huge even by today’s standards. 70mm wide phones are just the worst of both worlds to me.
I want a small phone, but there hasn’t been a serious option in over 10 years. The Xperia Z3 Compact was the last good “small” Android phone that was actually small enough to justify its existence. That was 2014.
Edit: Also, I suspect with bezels being so small now, the frame would need to be even smaller to avoid accidental edge presses with one-handed operation.
The only possible silver lining to all this is that perhaps “normal” people will finally start to care about the problems techies have been screaming about for 20+ years now.
It was inevitable that a bad actor would gain access eventually, because there is no such a thing as an organization that you can trust in perpetuity. That obviously doesn’t excuse the actual bad actors that now have access.
