Oh boy, a 6.1 inch screen. "Popular". Ugh. RIP any hopes of a small SE refresh.

I've gotten so used to my 13 mini that anything bigger just feels too big Hoping against hope that Apple brings back that size/form factor someday so clinging on to my 13 mini until that day comes...

I eventually upgraded my 13 mini and I still miss it. Still irritates me that I can’t swipe down from the top of the screen with a one handed gesture.

iPhone SE: $429, 4.7-inch display, 5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29, 5.09 ounces iPhone 16e: $599, 6.1-inch display, 5.78 x 2.82 x 0.31, 5.88 ounces This is a major downgrade in every way for people who want the smallest possible iPhone.

Why are small phones not economical for major flagship phone developers? Obviously more expensive phones generate more revenue, but the reduced bill of materials on smaller phones should allow a better profit margin?

Mostly I just want a phone that is comfortable in my hands.

Apparently the camera is "2 in 1" that does 2x zoom with "optical quality" but they never actually say it's true optical zoom. I'm guessing that it's just digital zoom with some fancy processing. Does anyone know for sure?

The C1 is (fingers crossed) probably going to be a big improvement on the security front, since historically, cellular modems have been chock full of remotely exploitable security flaws. That said, if this is their "first gen" then there could be teething issues.
