Many women I know would be interested in a small phone (in part because for some reason clothes makers collectively decided that women should not have big pockets, or any at all, and in part because of smaller hands on average).

It's probably not all women, maybe not most, but I can't believe there's not an important market, it seems like a common enough situation.

The corollary to women's clothes have no pocket is that women have purses, which are often large enough to hold a bigger phone.

There are women's clothes with pockets, they're just harder to find which I why I set up https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk to help with that.

I almost garroted myself attempting to supervise a toddler on soft play with a handbag, so I'm not a fan

Someone already managed to downvote you, shame on them. Thank you for what you're doing.

Well, don't you find this situation quite sexist?

I'm not a woman, but I know many who 1. refuse to carry a purse; 2. are deeply unsatisfied with trends in clothing such as small pockets (and no they can't just wear men's clothes because women's bodies are shaped differently); 3. whose hands are too small to comfortably use a large (branded as "normal") or even medium (branded as "mini") phone.

There's a billion other ways women are being discriminated against every day. But yeah, it doesn't sell.
