iPhone SE 1st edition was my peak iPhone. Everything else has been downhill.
Re: iPhone Air
#75Just do not understand the market for this one. The current size of phones is a solved problem. Nobody is asking for these things to be thinner. Most people use cases and are happy to add some thickness for battery life. Besides, the camera "plateau" makes it all futile.
I would love a lighter phone. If I chase after kids at the park, the thing is banging around like a lead weight in my pockets.
Why make a worse product for a problem that can be solved by carrying your phone a different way, or not having your phone on you for a moment?

#76I was hoping for more content on AR and the next phase of the Apple Vision Pro. Is the Apple Vision Pro considered a failure at this point?
They keep trying to hire me, so they haven’t given up.
It’s limited by TSMC. M2 is where v1 is. I expect they want at least double the efficiency, and maybe this new pro liquid cooling, to try for a v2.

#77I guess Apple finally listened to all the people saying they want a smaller phone, and totally misunderstood what that meant
The problem is that these people are very loud on the internet but sales for small phones are abysmal.
The laptop class (myself included) just don't understand. A huge portion of the world only has 1 computer and it's their phone. They rely on it for work, entertainment, and connectivity. They don't have a laptop where they can do all these things on whenever they want. Their phone is it. They want a big screen phone. It's no surprise that every time Apple made the screen bigger, it sold better.
I loved my 13 Mini but I understand why Apple has given up on it. It was a very good effort. They tried. Didn't sell. Maybe a foldable can solve this problem for both sides.

#78I wonder if this one bends in your pocket[1]. I'd much rather have the 'iphone thicc' which can be 10mm thick if it fits easily in my hand :-) [1] https://qz.com/1288272/bendgate-was-real-apple-knew-the-ipho...
That was 10 years ago. The stability has improved massively. What was the last phone that bent under normal circumstances?

"all the people" do not exist. Apple is obviously good for building small devices. They have built multiple of them, explicitly, against the direction the market was going.
If "all the people" wanted these phones, they would still exist.

I don’t like gigantic phones but smaller phones are incredibly hard to type for me
