With the launch of the iPhone SE from Apple, smaller smartphones might be making a come-back. Up to now, every manufacturer has assumed, rightly or wrongly that every customer wants a huge screen. But a lot of people want a phone that can fit into their hands. Apple have noticed this and are currently the only smartphone manufacturer that has a 4-inch phone available.
