I just miss the small iPhones from the past. I do not understand why there isn't sufficient demand.

Yes, I miss them a lot. On-screen keyboards are awful.

They're nostalgic, but switching from a smartphone to a flip phone would be a massive drop in convenience with how integrated smartphone apps have become into everything.
