Thank You Big Phones!

I like big phones.  I used to be in the camp of wanting a smaller phone…because well, if I wanted a big screen, that’s what tablets and laptops are for, right?  But our mobile phones have become such a big part of our daily lives.  Having a large, easy to read screen and watch media is great and negates the need for a tablet.  Not only that, but a bigger phone, means bigger battery.  Why have a small phone, if you have to carry a charger or battery bank with you everywhere…that’s a bulkier carry then the biggest phones!  But those things aside, there’s one aspect of big phones that’s influential that many don’t think about.  Pockets.

Look, I’m no fashion expert.  I believe in function over form…and I love pockets.  I never jumped on the skinny jean trend (although my baggy pants days did reduce to a more “relaxed fit”).  Aside from being too uncomfortable, I just couldn’t handle having pockets that could barely fit my hands.  And now that more people are carrying big phones around, the size of the pocket will influence what kind of pants we buy - at least for the guys.

So thank you big phones.  I might have a reason to go pants shopping again.
