The problem is not enough people buy small iPhones or small phones a small market no wonder Apple don’t make them anymore ..
The issue isn’t that people don’t want the option of small phones. It’s that they are gimped in other areas.
For example I was really excited to get a small SE2 before but the battery was SO bad it wasn’t possible to use it daily.
As someone mentioned, a lot of it also has to do with carriers and retailers pushing/discounting the more expensive options towards consumers
Which then means only a select minority of customers who insist on smaller models end up buying them. Hence poorer sales.
An SE is too big?I'm probably very alone on this, but I just want a Mini size "something"
I don't care about OLED, nor the latest processor -- don't even need more camera Q than is already on 13 Mini, and would even be fine with just the normal lens (don't use wide angle really at all)
Don't need an "action button"
Can I just have something small please Apple?
The physical size of the device is absolutely paramount for me

Can we talk about how misleading the “small phone” mentioned in the video is….
That “small phone” has the same dimensions as the standard models and pro models.
No one is calling those 6.1+ display phones small.
The 13 Mini was the last true flagship small phone. The iPhone SE is now the smallest but rumors point to it being replaced by a iPhone 14 clone.

How about the iPhone SE? It fits your criteria perfectly.
Seriously, the day of 4 inch phone is dead. Last time I brought out iPhone 12 mini from my drawer, I was reminded how small these thing is. I found myself constantly looking for charger, making more typos and generally not great experience.
Bigger than the 13 Mini
I won't do anything larger than the 13 Mini in any way - 13 mini is honestly already larger than I like

So how did you cope before Apple launched the mini series in 2020 then?

Wow, look at that beautiful skeuomorphic design! Seeing it compared side-by-side with that hideous flat design really reveals how such an immense attention to detail and creativity went into Apple's skeuomorphic design during the days of Scott Forstall. Flat design looks like something made by young students who recently enrolled in their very first graphic design class.
Yes, by far! I upgraded my iPhone every year for the first five years, but then held on to my 4S for three generations because I didn't want the monstrosity that was the iPhone 5.An SE is too big?
And plenty of us find 6.1 and 6.7 inch phones are also not a great experience.
Any phone which is too big to use one handed to me is not worth a dime.
My 13 Mini is plenty big enough.
