One thing I appreciate with Apple is that there is a smaller version of the Pro device. 6.7” still feels huge to me.

- factorialboy 4y agoApple cancelled the "mini" form factor. Their smallest phone is now last years iPhone 13. :-(
- foobarian 4y agoIt's all in the eye of the beholder I guess. I felt forced to get the Pro Max because it was the only acceptably large phone in their lineup, and still smaller than most competitors.
- c-fe 4y agoAt this point you may want to consider an iPad mini cellular
- DennisAleynikov 4y agoiPad mini is an awful device ergonomics wise. Any large phone is more comfortable
- adolph 4y agoGiven the speaker location, would using an iPad mini as a phone be "end-talking?" Another feature was that the speaker and microphone were located on the side edge of the phone; this often resulted in many describing it as talking into a "taco phone"[32] or "Sidetalking" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_(device) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_(device)
- MikusR 4y agoIt can't work as phone. Only certain android tablets in certain regions can.
- LegitShady 4y agothey still sell the 2022 SE. It's their cheapest phone and shares processors with the 13.
- ksec 4y agoThey didn't cancel it . iPhone 13 mini is still available. I would not be surprised if iPhone SE 2024 would be an iPhone Mini form factor.
- dannyw 4y agoIt is huge. I tried the 6 Pro, I couldn't stand how big and uncomfortable it was.
- yborg 4y agoI remember when devices this size were somewhat derisively labeled "phablets". Now people want ever bigger. Apple should rebrand the iPad Mini as iPhone Max PRO, it would probably sell like hotcakes.
- anderber 4y agoThe Pixel 7 is 6.3, so a bit smaller.
- dannyw 4y agoYou lose the telephoto camera, 120Hz display, and 4GB of RAM. Please, Pro shouldn't mean bigger and chunkier. Do what Apple does: standard, Max, Pro, Pro Max.
- satysin 4y agoUnfortunately you have to give up the higher specs of the 7 Pro if you do that. One nice thing about the iPhone Pro line is the core specs are the same between the 6.1 and 6.7" models.
- jeffbee 4y ago6.7" is huge to everybody, they're just ignoring the obvious ergonomic problem because the reality of selling phones at retail is your model has to be the biggest one. They're going to be prying my iPhone SE out of my cold, clenched hand when I die.
- LegitShady 4y agoactual customers tend to like bigger phones with bigger screens. You don't need to be old to remember how iphone had the 'perfect' phone with the perfect size right up until everyone was buying bigger phones and apple made iphones bigger and the majority of customers like it better. Enjoy your SE but larger phones are not a problem for the overwhelming majority of people.
- jeffbee 4y agoPeople prefer bigger houses and bigger cars and bigger phones at the point of sale but then they don't enjoy owning them. That's my point! You only have to watch someone struggle with a 6" phone for a few seconds to see how bad the experience is objectively.
- LegitShady 4y agothey do enjoy owning them, especially when they watch media on them, and they buy bigger phones again and again. You're just wrong.
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoQuestion... Do customers actually like bigger phones with bigger screens? Or were customers going to buy the latest phone anyways, and manufacturers are incorrectly assuming they bought the bigger phone because they wanted it? And then the other question...when manufacturers bundle specific features with the larger size and leave them off the smaller size, are they assuming people are buying the larger phone because it's larger, and not because of the specific features of that model? Like, I bought a Pixel 6 Pro because of the better camera, not because it's larger.
