> there are no compact Android phones either On Samsung Galaxy S6 and later models, one can tap the home button three times to shrink the screen so that everything can be reached with one thumb. It's called "one-handed mode". I can't say I've used it very often, but when I need it, it's there.
At this point why not just give people a real overlapping window manager?

> I don't care much which OS I have to run Maybe Purism could think about making a Librem 4 after the 5 releases. Double-down on the hacker-hobbyist niche.

EDIT: Never mind, OP is right, I had this wrong. Thanks, 333c. Apple discontinued the iPhone SE at the tail end of 2018 Actually it was on September 12, 2017, the day they announced the iPhone X [1], even if they had it on sale for a while early this year.

You mis-quoted your source, which says September 12, 2018, which in my mind does count as the tail end of 2018.
Is there even a good 4" Android to switch over to at this point? Their flagship phones also seem to be slowly expanding.
Every year I wait on bated breath at the release of a similarly compact phone to the SE. I even recently bought a new one right before they removed them from the store, so I have 2 year apple care+ for it to tide me over. Ordinarily I would vote with my wallet, but there are no compact Android phones either. Ironically I still own a Oneplus One which is quite old by todays standards; and I distinctly remember it bein…
I wouldn't even call the SE compact. It's just normal. It's the size that Steve Jobs said fits comfortably in your hand, and since hand sizes haven't changed, it's still true today.
I have to give up a bit of grip to get my thumb to the top corners of the screen, but it’s a lot better than anything else and I’d say worth the trade off for the extra space. Bigger than this I’m not convinced.

As is, I have no inclination to give up my SE, and if it fails I'll almost certainly pick up another off eBay or similar.
Once watchOS grows independent enough from the iPhone...
