A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The first company that produces a phone with

removable battery
maximum 6in screen
3.5mm jack
open bootloader

will break the market

People want big phones for some reason, so it's unlikely it would break the market. Those who want what you described are (unfortunately) very few.

I don't think that we are very few, I mean look at the upvotes...
It's just the market that is going the other direction and we just take it instead of spending a little bit of time looking for other solutions.
