I'm taking this as a sign from Apple that I use my phone too much and should probably stop.
It is an iPhone 16, inside iPhone 14 Body, Single Camera from iPhone 16, with iPhone 14 OLED Screen, Apple Modem, Without UWB, Minus 1 GPU Core on A18, 7.5W MagSafe Charging same as iPhone 14. 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.
I think Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, has decided he will have a go at an iPhone 13 mini sized android phone, since nothing exists in that space anymore.
Android rather than iPhone, but I've also recently given up hoping Apple would release a small phone. I recently bought a used iPhone 13 mini when my minor-regret-sized SE 2022 started playing up and I saw that all the rumours pointed at this 16E being huge.

... except for the fact that they refuse to re-issue the second greatest laptop form facter of all time : the 11" MBA. First place, obviously, goes to the Toshiba Libretto.
Because the 13" is close to the same physical size as the old 11
Very cool to see a new entry into the modem market. Obviously not available for anyone other than Apple, but I’m interested to see how it shapes up over time much like their SoC has done. This has been a long time coming since Apple bought Intels modem division several years ago. I’m also interested to see if it enables cellular in laptops. Afaik the limiting factor has been that Qualcomm charge a percentage of devic…

The thing I'd add is that Apple often achieves what it does by doing less. People assume that because Apple makes great things that they can make a lot of different great things. But that's where a lot of other companies falter: they make too many different things to really make a few great things. Small phones are also difficult. Memory, processors, and batteries don't shrink. For an iPhone mini, they're going to be…
If small phones are difficult, why are phones getting larger as battery and semiconductor tech continues to improve? Advances in tech should allow phones to be smaller than ever for the same capabilities, or more capabilities for the same size than ever before.

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
This is a sad day and not progress in any meaningful way (social engineering away physical SIM, causing loss of flexibility when traveling).

Come on. First place has gotta be the PowerBook 100.
