MODERATORS
I guess I get nostalgia, but "simplicity" makes no sense. They are objectively more complicated than a modern candybar style phone, while being less durable and harder to carry.
I find them much easier to carry.
The issue with carrying things (pocket-wise or on body, idk about purses) has always been thickness.
Maybe for you. For me I always found the length annoying. My pockets have width. A phone can be thicker. That's also the case with a lot of purses.
Are conflating width and depth?
I am not. Sure my pocket has plenty of depth too but that doesn't mean i want a giant slab in it when there is plenty of width to spare and my phone can afford to get thicker.
Can it afford to be twice as thick?
