There's the Palm phone running Android with a 3.3" screen

Wow, I'd love to see an iDevice with those dimentions!

I would love that SEX (heh) or XS form factor – but look how much of the iPhone X is battery [0]. If you shrink it by half there's no battery left – unless the phone is much thicker than the 8 or X. So, how much less battery life would you accept, or how much less functionality?

That's a very fair point. Although you could probably make it 5mm thicker and it'd still fit a lot better in a pocket than any other modern smartphone.

> You could fit a 5" screen on the SE form factor if it was edge-to-edge like the iPhone X, or you could keep the old SE 4" screen, make that edge-to-edge, and make the phone itself even smaller.

Both of these would be really nice, but I doubt either of them is going to happen.
