They are already absurdly large. I didn’t notice the size of my phone until I wanted to do simple gestures like going from the bottom to the top most part with my thumb or trying to type with one hand with the keyboard in its original state.
Before it didn’t bother me and I even celebrated it, since the bigger the screen, the bigger the videos and games. But now I realize how annoying it is to use the phone as a… Well, a phone. And it looks like it’s going to get worse with flip phones and other bullshit.
At this rate, “brick” phones are going to come back, and everyone will be “delighted”.
The clothing industry doesn’t make many clothes with pockets for women because they don’t sell. Women all complain that they don’t get pockets, but then vote with their wallets.
This is a legit example of the intended meaning of the phrase “the customer is always right.” The market supplies what customers demand, and for all the fist shaking about having nowhere to put a phone, there’s very little actual market demand for women’s clothing with pockets. Majority of demand is related to outdoor activities so you see them there.
That just isn’t true. Answers in Progress on YouTube does a good video on the history of pockets in women’s clothes.
“I saw it on YouTube and therefore it must be true, not basic economics”
It is true. Women’s pants with big pockets are freely available, just do a Google shopping search and you’ll see. American Eagle, Gap, Abercrombie, Forever 21, Old Navy, H&M, Ann Taylor, Dickies, Patagonia, Levi’s, and the list goes on. All these retailers sell baggy and loose pants with big pockets.
Also worth noting, Y2K fashion is very in with younger people and you’ll see them wearing a lot of baggy pants, I’m talking JNCO baggy.
So why aren’t big-pocketed pants the standard in women’s fashion? It’s simple: women tend to want slimmer pants. It’s just a consumer decision.
Some women want the slimmer pants, yet all the options with pockets are baggy. Yes you need some space for a pocket, but that doesn’t mean the entire entire pant needs to be baggy.
Men’s slim jeans are available with pockets able to accommodate a larger phone with out issue.
