#12Why does everyone love this phone so much? Clue me in?
It comfortably fits in one hand, has a headphone jack, with adequate battery life and performance and camera.

#14I guess it's time for all those HN people who were moaning about iPhones being too big/expensive/lacking in home buttons/etc... to put their money where their mouths are.
It's a 2016 model, so it should remain supported until at least 2021. Not far off, but still better than some (many?) Android phones.
I'm not sure how $299/128GB compares to Android products, but it's cheaper than its previous $449 price.
I'd pick one up myself, except that I have a 5 that keeps on chugging along.

Personally, I want to deliberately make it difficult to spend my life looking at my phone, but still have a tool to use to look at maps, navigate, etc.

The comfortable one-handed operation is my top reason, I'm a pretty active person and a phone that I can comfortably use with one hand (and also easily stow in and remove from the front pockets on my jeans) is much more useful to me than a phone that I cannot. I also enjoy the headphone jack which allows me to use any pair of conventional headphones, without requiring an adapter. Finally, the square edges (in contrast to rounded) make the phone a great bottle opener.

#18The upcoming sony xz4 compact may be the only small phone with premium components, and it's extremely frustrating. It's not even /that/ small. You can find small phones but they have terrible cameras, sub HD resolutions, and bargain basement SOCs. Is the demand for a premium (or even mid range) small phone really that low?
Yes, the demand really is that low. People who want a smaller phone in 2019 are a very small yet very vocal minority.
If there was a large untapped market for smaller phones, then the limited number of small phones on the market would be selling a lot better than they actually are. Somebody would notice and start making more of them.
Like phones with physical keyboards, phones with small screens have become a niche product and they will probably disappear in the next few years.

Not really. The iPhone SE has been in a recurring topic here because it suits the needs of a certain market segment, and there wasn't a suitable equivalent after it went away.
