iPhone 13 Mini is the last normal-sized phone made. Despite what others say, it did actually sell well in terms of absolute units, more than most also-ran Android phones that somehow manage to still stay on the market. I'm hoping they bring it back for an every-other-year model or something like that.
For Android, which is my preference personally, there has not been a normal-sized phone since like the Pixel 3A in 2019, and even that was getting pretty huge. There is https://smallandroidphone.com/ https://smallandroidphone.com/ , but it seems like a dead project.
- diggan 3y agoYeah, too bad iPhone requires iOS, otherwise I'd easily continue using the hardware, it really is the highest quality hardware. But the software is so far behind in quality, stability and polish that I just can't live with it anymore.
- coldpie 3y agoYeah, I switched to iPhone solely for the Mini form factor, and I was very surprised how primitive and buggy iOS feels compared to Android, given each platform's reputation. Would love to go back to Android!
- diggan 3y agoSame here... Initially I used Android for many years, and after hearing people raving about the iPhone for more years + Apple finally releasing a "Mini" format after getting bigger and bigger, I jumped on the wagon. I too was surprised about how shitty the software is compared to how excellent the hardware is. Well, I guess nothing is perfect...
