You have two hands for a reason.
If people actually bought them they'd still offer it. No demand, no supply.
Same 'ol, same 'ol
Overpriced, oversized and uninspired
Tim Cook needs to be on the clock and be shown the door
No wonder sales on iPhones are stalling out in key places like China

It becomes a much thicker phone at that point and not sure that is as desirable, possibly with a bigger battery maybe.
Looking at the photo, - is that Space Black again instead of Space Grey. I do hope Space Black is here to stay.
I am still on my 14 Pro and very happy so far. Nice to know, new features are coming.

Essentially the same design as the iPhone 12. Can’t innovate my a$$!!! /s
Clearly not "oversized" when it is the sizes everyone actually purchases. The stupid little mini models are gone because no one bought them. The sizes are perfect for what the demand is.
How many ways can you really make a rectangle? There were only so many designs that could really do.
I was going to mention i got a Samsung 7 inch tablet and it could make phone calls. People used to take the piss pretending to make calls on a tablet to ridicule how dumb it was.
I want a thin and light phone personally. But i get it, everyone is addicted to devices and battery life trumps size
Yeah, battery life was not great. I was more making the point that I would take an older and smaller phone with just two modern features added, over a 4-years-newer “pro” model which is slightly bigger than current models.
Agree 100% on being able to switch iPhones as needed. I’d totally keep a mini for this purpose.
Yep, that's for when I use my Mac or iPad.
Many of us still use a phone one-handed, cocky.
That really bugs me. I wish it was like the iPhone X where the flash was in the oval. Probably wouldn’t work with the lenses jutting out further than the island, but I liked the way the lenses fit through cases without leaving this weird naked gap on the back. The 11 Pro and up square kinda did this, but not as cleanly as the X’s oval
Always one guy on the inside, knowing exact sale data for all these phone, which Apple otherwise keeps to themselves. I did not even mention bringing back a Mini and guys like this come out of the woodwork to claim nobody bought them like some sort of expert, I guess I am nobody. Would just be nice to have a slightly larger range of screen sizes since that is clearly what they are going for, something that does not require two hands, or can fit in small pockets, would be nice.
The Tim Cook Special…
A “SKU-fest”
Just buy something… anything…
They don’t care about any sort of customer centric lineup..
They just crank out a bunch of mostly similar confusion and hope you get exhausted on choice and buy something…anything..
…and sign up for Apple One
This is now a fully, and only, share price driven operation.
Tim has fully “de-Steve'd” the company
I have an old SE 1st generation that would totally serve this purpose. I don't quite have the courage to use it as my only phone but it's really neat to see a functional iPhone that "small" at this point.
I don't mean to attack the messenger, but...
I'm surprised that the original post on which this article is based, purporting to show size differences, did not take just one moment to align the array of phones properly for comparison. As a result, the scribbled numbers are the only informative element of the photo.

I hope the SE is like a iPhone 13 mini in size. Basically mini reborn. It’s the perfect size for a phone for normal use.
? Keeping the phone screen sizes the same wouldn't reduce the number of iPhone SKUs.
That is called an iPad mini.
I carry mine a lot and it works well.
6.3 looks like the sweet spot
I think part of what hurt mini sales is also the name mini. They should get rid of the branding and just label them by screen size, like the Apple watch. 3 size choices would be great
I think a 5.8” screen would do better than the old mini did, especially if the future of the regular iPhone is 6.3”. Would have better battery life and a more comfortable keyboard.
