You can. Ditch Apple and join us. Plenty of small phone selections here on the other side. Edit: you know what. Android doesn't have that many either.

Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo/OnePlus, and Vivo, the top four Android smartphone manufacturers, have not released a single phone with a display 5.5 inches or smaller in the past three years, according to data from GSMArena.

Seems like they’re going away on the Android side too.

Sure sure, plenty more that offers 4.7 and smaller.

Anything decent without bloatware, with a propper non-MediaTec processor and a long support time with security patches?

You know. I stand corrected.

I used a Jelly pro for two years as a daily driver. Smaller than a credit card
