I tried to vote with my wallet, but it fell off my iPhone somewhere /sPeople have voted with their wallets and most don’t want a phone that small. I have a XR and I able to use it with one hand without trouble most of the time. I’m glad Apple made the mini to address a small group of users, but I hope you are not insinuating that this is as big as a phone should be just to “guarantee” that everyone can use it with one hand.
My reference is that the screen is 1mm narrower than my old HTC One (the original, 2013 model) but the phone itself is 4mm narrower (it's actually 1mm narrower than the Z5 Compact). The HTC's screen was perfectly fine to type on, so I know that isn't too small for me, but I always wanted the phone a little narrower so I could hold it more securely when typing or operating one-handed (especially with a case adding some width). So size-wise this is just about perfect for me, and what I've been waiting for someone to actually make.The mini is well and truly compact! About the same size as my old Sony Z5 Compact, which I thought was perfection, but with a bigger screen. That's plenty of screen! Plenty of performance, plenty of everything.
that's you. I would of given the mini a better look if they didn't give the max all the best features this year. Should of at least given the smaller pro all the same camera hardware imo.
So Apple will be doing some incremental updates next year.that's you. I would of given the mini a better look if they didn't give the max all the best features this year. Should of at least given the smaller pro all the same camera hardware imo.
If only there was a bigger screen device with phone capabilities, they could call it the iPhonePad, or for short, the iPad, and make it in different sizes too, that would be just great.The Max is still not big enough
Depends if you simply want a small device or an actual mobile device. Being able to use a phone with one hand is practically a necessity for use on the go.
No chance of this: Apple want to upsell you to the larger and more profitable phone.Agreed. They should have given all the sizes the same specs even if that means holding back features they could have put in the max. Now their sales figures won't represent what customers actually want. My hope is that people opt for the mini in spite of it not having some things.
Seems like you got it all figured out. Why don’t you start your own tech company??No chance of this: Apple want to upsell you to the larger and more profitable phone.
It's the same with other manufacturers. Samsung once offered the same specs in different sizes (the S8 series), but subsequently have reserved fancier cameras, higher storage or RAM for larger phones. Even Sony, who long kept the idea of a "compact flagship" alive, do this. Maybe cameras are a space thing, but not RAM or storage, those are marketing decisions.
They aren't allowed to... DuhThe most useless reviews for the max. The biggest difference is the camera and they really didn't touch on it.
