The only time phones will get smaller is when they figure out the folding display, otherwise I highly doubt you will see something with a 4 inch screen like the iPhone SE in a very long time. Of course they could easily make a 4.7 inch phone which is what the iPhone 6S/7/8 are as small or even smaller with the same screen size if they make them without Touch Id, getting rid of the big bezels at the top, bottom as well as left and right would easily make that possible. There are already rumours that the iPhone 12 will no longer have the notch and that instead the Facetime camera and all sensors will be embedded in a very thin bezel along the top of the phone. If you consider the current iPhone Se, which is 123mm long and 58mm wide, this actually means it is just over 5.3 inches from corner to corner diagonally yet it only has a 4 inch screen. Without the home button taking up so much space across the bottom and with say a quarter inch bezel across the top for Facetime sensors, front camera and so on they could easily fit a 4.7 inch screen into that form factor.

Don’t think I will be buying it. I really like the size of the iphone SE. Newer phones are just to big. Surely, sometime, the trend will go toward smaller again. Smile!!

If you don’t want to spend the money then why bother to buy this upcoming phone? Your iPhone 8 is a perfectly fine phone and it will serve you well for another 2 years, I have one myself and certainly wouldn’t even dream about buying this upcoming phone which almost certainly will not have 5G support. Whether I buy an iPhone 12 in the fall depends greatly on what Apple comes up with, but for me it is also unlikely since it will probably have first generation support for 5G, and maybe even first generation support for under display touch ID, but in my opinion the phones nowadays are such mature products and so expensive that I want to get at least 3 years out of one and even better 4. I figure if I guy whatever iPhone comes out in the fall of 2021 I get a model which better supports some of these new technologies, by then my iPhone 8 which I only bought in December of 2018 will be 3 years old and it will have earned it’s money. I know some people are on plans which allow them to upgrade each year, but of course these types of plans don’t come for free an d in the end Apple and the providers get their money out of you.

Sounds like the iPhone 9 will be the best of all worlds. I hope the pesky IOS 13 bugs disappear and it works like IOS 12, smooth and reliable with 13 features. I will scoop up a 9 if that happens, maybe. I like my 8 and not enthused about spending more money.
