I keep waiting but the phones only get bigger. Seems I’ll have to eventually replace my iPhone 12 mini with a 13 mini, or ditch Apple entirely. The Google Nexus 4 was my all time favorite smart phone in terms of overall size. But I suppose it’s unlikely Apple will ever make a phone anywhere close to that size ever again.

Just buy an iPhone duo and never open it.

I have a 13 mini and I'm in the same boat, but curious why would you not have already have upgraded from the 12 to 13 mini at this point?

One thing I really find disingenuous from reviewers is when they say there is no crease when there is, and they try to move it out of frame so quickly.

- It works with the pencil! This is a big big deal. I can do whiteboarding with customers quickly without having to break out a separate device, for example. Definitely unfortunate for the reMarkable Move and devices like that. - They actually might have nailed the hinge and crease problems. - I've been excited for this release ever since the rumor of the iPhone Air being a prototype of sorts for this came out. Two i…

It will work with the pencil. They were really vague on when that will happen. I wonder how much additional thickness was added to the phone to get pencil support on both screens.

Curious to see what happens when the fashion cycle runs its course and skinny jeans are in again and these big phones don't fit in our pockets anymore. Will phones get smaller or will we stop carrying them around and instead use wearables and retinal implants?

Still on a 13 mini for the same reason. The closed Duo is closer to a regular Pro than to a mini, so it doesn't actually replace the small phone — it replaces the "I also carry an iPad mini" phone.

Apple killed the one size I wanted and then shipped a $2,000 fold. I get why the fold exists. I just wish the mini line hadn't had to die for it.

It actually looks really nice; and I'd consider myself their target demographic conceptually. My last iPhone was a Pro for context. But at a $2K starting price, plus likely another $200 for the storage size they really expect people to purchase, in this economy, it is so far outside of my price range it is dead to me. Which is to say: Cool tech, but I've already dismissed it as something I want evaluate for my next p…

Idk why I’d need a lot of storage on the phone. Photos/videos get backed up elsewhere. The only thing that eats storage like that is downloading a lot of offline movies, or taking lots of videos. But this doesn’t have the same camera chops as the iPhone pro.
