$599 for 128GB with this caveat..

>Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 12GB to 24GB of space, including iOS 18 with its latest features and Apple Intelligence on-device models can be deleted if Apple Intelligence is turned off and use approximately 7GB of space. Turning on Apple Intelligence will download the models again. Apple apps that can be deleted use about 4.5GB of space, and you can download them back from the App Store. Storage capacity subject to change based on software version, settings, and iPhone model.

If they can standardize their whole lineup around two sizes, regular and max, then I think it will be a very hard sell to add extra work and complexity for the production lines for a smaller size that sells both lower volumes and lower price. Don't get me wrong, I love the Mini and have one right now, but from a business management perspective I can totally see how getting rid of it makes sense. Another aspect that I…

> I think it will be a very hard sell to add extra work for the production lines for a smaller size The Toyota Corolla sells 1 million units a year worldwide - it's totally practical and realistic to set up a production line to make 1 million devices a year. Apple sells 200 million iphones a year. That's why they're happy to make the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max and 16e and offer them in 4-5 colours per mod…

Is there also an added effort around making iOS work on the smaller screen size/resolution as well though?

If they can standardise those, they might end up with an easier OS to maintain once the Mini (sadly) is no longer supported

Check out the battery life! > iPhone 16e has the best battery life ever on a 6.1-inch iPhone, lasting up to six hours longer than iPhone 11 and up to 12 hours longer than all generations of iPhone SE. Their page comparing models claims the new 16e gets "26 hours video playback." iPhone 16e: 26 hours iPhone 16: 22 hours iPhone 15: 20 hours iPhone 14: 20 hours iPhone 13: 19 hours iPhone 12: 17 hours iPhone 11: 17 hours…

My Nokia 3310 lasted for over a week before recharge in 2000.

The other phonemakers didn't grumble about the jack because they realized they could pull the same scam

Oh please. They all made fun of it and THEN switched a year later

Takes a year to make whatever their copy of AirPods was

Does anyone else long for a new personal device (phone) maker/leader? A real AI phone where if you want you can have a full human like conversation (text, voice & video chat it recognizes gestures & emotions (facial expressions)) with your AI assistant from your lock screen. I use chatGPT while driving in the car to get things done & as a knowledge base, but I have to open the app to use it (not safe when driving). I…

The no-adjective MacBook hasn’t been sold for years. It’s just Air and Pro again now.

Makes sense, it never made sense to downgrade, I guess the Air should drop "Air" moving forward then...

It's better this way. It's clear whether someone means any macbook, or just the non-pro, or just the pro.

Wifi 6 instead of Wifi 7 on iPhone 16. However at $599, higher than the rumoured $499 or $549 pricing. iPhone 14 previously at $599 and iPhone SE at $429 are now gone. Getting rid of iPhone 14 and iPhone SE as they are both usi…

I wish they would make a mini version of this, it would be perfect. After the 13 Mini, us small phone lovers are screwed.

Lots of Android options available, and much more affordable.

Until today I thought they were interchangeable spellings. I'm curious, is "woah" incorrect? If so, why?

Even as the instinctive prescriptivist that I am, I can't possibly get get worked up about permutations on onomatopoeia.
