Why are 99% of phones so comically large?

The Internet 3g is easier to use on a large phone people take selfies, phones are cheap, you always have your phone with u, before phones people would read a book or a newspaper while on a bus. I think apple should make a 5 inch phone some people would buy it, some people want a phone they can put in a Jeans pocket large phones are popular whether u like them or not, like reality TV or soap operas

There's loads of phones that are 6.2 inch on sale, if people did not buy a large phone company's would go back to 4 or 5 inch phones, when phones were 4 inch they only thing you could do with them was txt,talk, or play games like snake, if you want to worry about the environment worry about bitcoin, and nfts that use up megawatts of power for no good purpose. The power system in Texas is not ready for cold or extreme weather, people are moving there just to mine bitcoin because of low taxs lack of regulation. Even if you live in a flat a 50 inch TV does not take up much space if its mounted on the wall

Making your own brand of tiny phone could be the next step in further building your business empire.

A significant proportion of bitcoin mining is done using renewables. Over 90% of all bitcoins have already been mined, using far less energy than for current ones. The Chinese wanted to ban bitcoin so they claimed it took too much energy and was bad for the environment, when some of the big mining operations were sited at the foot of that edifice of environmental destruction, the Yangtze Three Gorges dam, because the electricity from that renewable source was almost free. Others were sited near vast solar farms that are described as stranded power, because they are in such remote locations relative to the areas of consumption and the infrastructure between is insufficient to convey all their output. Again, because the electricity was nearly free and in this case was going to waste

You mentioned Texas -lol!

The global power consumption of bitcoin mining is less than the potential power of all the waste gas blown off by the oil and gas industry, which in 2019 was 900 Twh of gas flared. Bitcoin mining consumes something like 129 Twh, 39% of which is from renewables and increasing all the time due to the bad press.

The EZ Smartgrid Flaring Mitigation System has reduced Wesco Inc.’s gas flaring to 0 mcf a day.

The system converts otherwise wasted natural gas into electricity to power BTC mining.

Despite its large carbon footprint, some crypto firms are working towards greater sustainability."

Then there's nuclear:

"In July, micro-nuclear reactor company Oklo and bitcoin mining company Compass Mining announced a 20-year commercial partnership in which Oklo will eventually power a portion of Compass’ mining activities with carbon-free nuclear energy.

Earlier in July, Akron, Ohio-based energy company Energy Harbor Corp. announced it will provide nuclear power to Standard Power’s new Bitcoin blockchain mining center in Coshocton, Ohio beginning in December 2021.
