Of course, since they gimped it. What about creating a smaller version laden with features...

Can someone please explain the benefits of C1 chip?
For them: more control, lower marginal costs.

26 hours of battery life but you still have to charge it with a cable (they didn't add MagSafe). This might be a deal breaker for me…
It has wireless charging, just not MagSafe.
$599, 128gb base model. Welp rip any interest a bunch of us had in an iphoneSE4. What a fucking waste of time. The sad thing is I can accept that apple continually wants miserable storage base tiers, that ship has sailed and they will never see 256gb as logical starting points on a phone so damn expensive when their computers start at that horrid storage point. If it was $499 I would have contemplated finally upgradi…
At this point there’s only really one thing I want from an iPhone and that’s an option for a 12/13 mini sized device again. Surely those phones didn’t sell so few that it’s not worth doing at all?

The death of Touch ID. Also huge.
Touch ID is on the power button of iPad Air. Hopefully it will return on iPhone Air.

I am still using my 13 Mini. I got it, because I knew that it would be the last Mini Apple does. I plan to use it, until I need to charge the battery every 15 minutes.
The larger phones barely fit in pockets, fit poorly in running packs/biking gear and are just generally inconvienient for being active with them.
