      13 mini is basically the same size as the 4 I had years ago. I just want new chips and better battery, not a bigger phone every year

      I know that the mini is something of a niche product but I don’t get why. Who is asking for these giant bricks of a cell phone? Well everyone apparently is, but why? I’d love apple to design a clamshell foldable so that I could get an even smaller pocket footprint

        Your phone is a portal into a large part of the world. It’s not that odd that the average person would prefer a larger window.

        My phone is a screen I use for reading, viewing media, using UI, etc. It’s a web device. Real estate matters, and larger keyboards are easier to type on.

          Larger screens are harder to use one handed though. I really just want a screen sized to be used one handed by most people. I’d also argue that with Swype and similar stuff, typing on a keyboard really doesn’t need that much accuracy these days.

        I used to be a small phone guy, but I hadn’t actually used a bigger phone before. I decided on a 14 Pro Max as “something different” when it came time to upgrade and I can’t go back to smaller.

      Ugh I’m so mad they ditched minis. I’m on a 12 mini still. I want the newer chips in like the iPhone SE body please.
