minorities are the loudest.
truth is its quite difficult to function today without a smartphone.
banks, uber, food etc etc
edit: remember iphone mini? so "many" asked for it and apple finally made it. it was a flop.
- deadbabe 14d agoBanks for what? Uber can be done totally headless, without a screen? Food? Get outta here.
- aczerepinski 14d agoI think the iPhone mini sold 5-10 million units per year. I don't view that as a flop, and I don't think it merits sarcasm around how "many" people wanted it.
- Bolwin 14d agoPeople often use this a argument against small phones like this wouldn't be amazing for any company outside apple or Samsung
- jkestner 14d agoBring back OS licensing, Apple!
- armadyl 14d agoIf small phones were a widely popular thing then there would be a company making them successfully or it would’ve been greater than 5% of iPhone sales. An individual company with zero brand power or presence wouldn’t have any decent sales. This is not even considering that the value proposition would be way worse than just buying a slightly bigger and significantly better phone with more R&D put behind it. The reality is 90% or more of people don’t care about that or even think about it, this sentiment only exists in online tech enthusiast spaces. If you’re in HN you’re as non-representative of the average consumer as one can get.
- aczerepinski 13d ago5% of iPhone sales is an enormous amount of revenue. Billions right?
- whilenot-dev 14d agoI think you should always include the iPhone SE in those numbers. It had similar dimensions, was cheaper and even more minimal. If it weren't for the SE, I would have picked a Mini right away.
