Even though the market disagrees, I'm saddened that the mini isn't going to be an option in the future. The form factor was great, even though some didn't feel the compromise on battery life was worth it. Ah well.

Neat but the phone isn’t super robust. I’d hate to have to rely on it in extreme emergencies. A dedicated tracker is better as it can survive in cold and other serious conditions. That being said you are more likely to have the phone on you which is a big deal
I don’t know, modern phones have zero moving parts, are adequately water resistant so I don’t see that. The most likely problem it might have is the battery, which doesn’t happen overnight.
Dynamic Island looks neat (reminds me of webOS) BUT controls at the top of the screen still work poorly, especially on these bigger phones. I had a little hope when Apple introduced those controls in iOS 16 on the lower half of the lock screen but alas... I'm curious how it works in landscape orientation if at all. If there were a ‘iPhone 14 Pro mini’ that would be amazing

The phone was released today and Reachability does NOT allow for one-handed operation. It wasn't referred to in any pr or reviews by the way... Not sure how well Apple could make it work but Reachability would still be a crutch
