> It is a crazy strategy of Apple to put the “brains” of its most expensive phone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max (+USD 1.099), in its entry model, low cost (USD 429). No other company does this. The $449 Pixel 6a, which was released today, has the same Tensor chip as the $899 Pixel 6 Pro. This is advertised prominently on the product page: https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_6a
I was hoping to see my phone and I was not disappointed. > It is very likely that this is the last iPhone SE of its kind, the last “iPhone with a button” (a recurring joke here in Brazil). The reception from critics has been lukewarm and sales, apparently, below expectations. That’s a shame. This is saddening to read, and with how Apple is it's not like buying more of the same phone as a backup would work -- they'd a…

I would pay a decent chunk of money for an iPhone SE clone that runs Android. I'm so tired of big phones. I can't do this anymore. Past discussions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31411191 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30405011
Running Asus ZenFone 8. Screen size is relatively normal compared to the monsters that other manufacturers ship.
I knew I wasn't the only one fond of small, cheap-but-great phones! :) Btw, this is my first post in English. I cover tech here in Brazil for +10 years and run a +9 years old independent, self-sustainable publication written in Portuguese. Now, I decided to give it a shot in another language, despite still feeling uncomfortable with my English. (I hope I haven't misspelled anything!) If you enjoyed this brief iPhone…

I bought a Mini with great excitement, thinking that it would take me back to the glory of the "my phone fits my my pocket and I can type with one hand" days. I kept it for 3 months, and then traded it in for a Pro. It turns out that the world has moved on. Web pages are getting harder to read on small screens. I had to squint a lot. The phone's short height means that it often doesn't charge "vertically" in Qi charg…
Why did you go for a Pro over a regular iPhone 13 (for example). I'm trying to workout which one to get, way too many options in 2022. I do a lot of outdoor stuff, not sure if I want the weight of the pro, is it worth it?
The zoom lens. Worth the price alone.
