It makes me so sad. As a certified short king it makes me sad that I’m gonna have to deal with the annoyance of giant phones in my little baby hands again sooner rather than later as it’s no longer supported…

fuck you apple, I will use the mini until it dies and then I will replace its fucking battery and will continue to use it! Never ever will I buy another bigger phone than the mini.

I’m reading a lot of this and most of my friends got the mini. I wonder why it didn’t sell well? Seems like a lot of tech enthusiasts actually care about one-handed usability – but nobody else cares.

That seems to be the case: Ars Technica, Reddit, even this forum, are in favor of the minis. But the thing is most of us are tech enthusiasts who’d rather use our computers and tablets for a larger screen over the iPhone, so most of the population who would be drawn to the minis are concentrated there.

The common complaints i’ve read are that it had mediocre battery life and the screen felt cramped.

Not me, count me as an enthusiast who wants bigger phones. My ideal is a 2340x1080 screen at 6.7" or even 6.8".

Never thought I’d see someone call an Apple product lineup bloated. xD

I disagree, the regular 14 massively outsold the plus. The regular 12 and 13 were also the most sold of each year as well.

14 overall wasn’t as popular this year as the pro versions though.

Such a shame, I think mini series were just the right size for me

I’ll probably be gang buttraped by the Apple people but I heard the new (and last) Zenfone is nice and compact.

I’m on my first Apple phone since a lifetime of Android. I’m really enjoying my mini, iOS is kinda a fun novel experience and I’m utterly sick of Google and their shutting down of every new service they introduce after a year or two.

I’m hoping they try another release in another few years when I go to upgrade.

@Deceptichum @fne8w2ah @psycho_driver it might be back as the new SE next year. It’s easier to put a USB-C connector in the mini than in the current SE.

Honestly the first android phone in years that’s caught my attention and if I hadn’t just gotten a new battery for my 12 mini I would’ve greatly considered the Zenfone.

That’s pretty much the same size as an iPhone 15 Pro. Not even close to the size of the mini.
