Would a mini 16 E (SE 4) be more attractive to you than a full sized 16 E modeled after the iPhone 14?

I’d be happy with another mini. I’ve been tempted to put my Apple Watch Ultra into a tinypod-like case and use that as my "mini phone." But quickly realized it's not very practical and would likely end up in my junk drawer along with my iPhone Clicks case.

A new iPhone mini would be the perfect in-between for me.
 
Inb4 this thread is brigaded by comically large screen apologists.

Honestly, my issue is with phones being too wide. Give me something tall and skinny like those old iPhone 5 memes.

I would love another mini! I have an iPhone 15, it's a great phone but the body doesn't need to be that big. Not sure how much Lithium they can fit into that size phone body, but I'm willing to take a battery life hit just to have the smaller form factor.

Just make it a touch thicker for a bigger battery.

I would probably buy one as my new spare phone, had the SE 2020 since it came out as a spare and it's falling apart.
 
If the 16E was a Mini sized phone at £499, i would have brought one to add to my collection and use alongside my 15 Pro. The new C1 modem would have added at least 2 hours extra battery life even if they used the 13 Mini chassis with just an upgrade to the A18 chip and 8 GB RAM.

A good compromise would be to maybe go for the X and XS screensize and FF, that's a bit smaller than the 16 series and slightly bigger than the 13 mini.
Would have been a nice surprise if Apple would to "reuse" the X/XS case and make a new "mini" out of it.

The 6.1-inch chassis will soon be a mini given the Pro is 6.3-inch. The regular model will likely follow. The 5.8-inch display wouldn't have much staying power.
