    At least on the iPhone side the 12 and 13 mini were full flagships in a smaller form factor. I just wish we could go back to that

      There is always the iPhone SE 3 with 4.7 inch display or the iPhone 16e with 6.1 inch display.

        I had never heard of the 16e and checked their site, it will only allow comparison up to the 11, a phon from 2019. And its expensive.

          That’s because it’s stupidly downgraded and aimed at people upgrading from the 11. It’s a no-one phone, there just to make people think, “well, the 15 is just $100 more, let’s buy that instead”. It would be a remarkable phone, if it were $200 cheaper. But Apple just can’t let an opportunity to scalp consumers go. Only Apple charges so much for a 60 Hz screen.

          Yes. The 16e released only 2 days ago and it is an entry level version of the iPhone 16. And you are right, it is not that cheaper then the full-size version.
