    People asked Apple for this, and when they obliged, it sold so terribly that retailers literally could not give them away. Unfortunately, it seems those who actually want smaller phones are a vocal minority

        I’ve got about a billion issues with capitalism, but I’m not sure how you think something like this should work otherwise? Product design/development/manufacturing takes a bunch of resources, so it doesn’t make sense in any model to make things people generally don’t want.

      I moved from Android phones to Apple specifically for the iPhone mini. Seems when it eventually dies I’ll be out of luck.

      Apple user here. If they don’t come out with a new generation of iphone mini, I am simply going to never buy another phone again.
