do people seriously not remember that an iPhone mini used to exist, and definitely did not sell like hotcakes?

  Well hotcakes aren’t that in-demand but there’s a market for it, so the iPhone mini definitely sold like hotcakes

  we remember that there was a phone released with a name "mini" which was just as large as an iPhone 6: which many people considered to be a large phone; and those who didn't were perfectly serviced by the same sized SE from 2020- which was the size of an iPhone 6... https://imgur.com/a/iphone-mini-vs-iphone-5-vs-iphone-6-case-W5b7RDF https://imgur.com/a/iphone-mini-vs-iphone-5-vs-iphone-6-case...

I genuinely don't think I've seen that sentiment? "I really want a smaller phones, these gigantic bricks are too big" is a common sentiment but I don't think anyone disputes the sales figures of the mini

  But the sentiment is implied. By expressing disappointment with the absence of a mini on every single new iPhone announcement, you’re basically ignoring the fact that Apple and other phone makers understand that small form factor phones are dead as a mainstream product.

    You're literally making that up. Small form factor phones are not dead as a mainstream product. They never have been.

        The iPhone SE 2022 was in the top ten smartphones of the year by sales figures. It may not be as astronomical as flagship phones, but it's simply a lie to say it's "dead" as a "mainstream" product.

        The iPhone SE 2022 was not a small or Mini phone / it had the same larger display as the iPhone 6.

        Which is smaller than the display of an iPhone 13 mini (4.7" vs. 5.3")
