They have, and people preferred smaller phones.

People didn't prefer shit. This is a supply-driven market, vendors put out whatever they want, and we deal with it.

Did you forget how to not buy things?

And then they got larger again.

Due to the things inside them that people did want.

Are these smaller phones in room with use right now? Where can I buy an iPhone 8-sized iPhone? Or an iPhone 4-sized iPhone?

The only ones who "preferred" "smaller" aka thinner phones are Apple with their psychotic "it's thinner again" yearly presentations.
