Discussion on: Which trend or advancement is being overlooked by most developers?

Hasn't this discussion started with @ar10642 claiming that this was to be ended because "nobody needed that"? :-)

Well, "nobody" is probably a hyperbole but I guess in a few years he'll be right ;-)

I guess as long as it fits into my pockets, I'm fine.

That's the limit right there :-) My criteria for now is: can I use this with one hand and can I reach the top of the screen with my thumb?

But I haven't had an iPhone yet either. Hmm.

Well, there are plenty of non-iPhones with huge screens :D The new OnePlus 6T is 6.4"

Or I will, claiming that pure tablets will be gone by then. Ha!

can I use this with one hand

I have never used mine with one hand, except for reading the time. I probably use it wrong. :-)

My OnePlus 5T - the last good OnePlus device - has 5.99" to be precise enough and I guess my next one may be an iPhone, given that good Android devices become more limited and more expensive every year anyway. But this might be a separate discussion.

Yeah, I think I'm going with an iPhone next. My current phone is a Nexus 5X with a 5.2" inch screen. Premium Androids are not that interesting anymore (maybe except the Google Pixel 3's camera) and I've only had bad experiences with Samsung phones.

But this might be a separate discussion.

yup
