I will never stop yearning for iPhone Mini phone/screen sizes. But I've stopped asking for it because that would be pointless at this point.

The air is the new mini. With the same amount of low sales. It's under appreciated because of the "Pro" label of the Pro, and because of battery-hell.

None of the Minis ever had $200+ rebates within weeks after launch.

I don’t understand the idea that the Air is a way to test reduced capabilities for a folding phone. If you’ve used any of the Chinese folding phones they have plenty of room for cameras, memory etc.

I’m not much of an Android fan but I do love my Xiaomi folding phone (not mentioning model number because I don’t want to sound like a shill). Outside China I stick to iOS and would definitely consider a folding iPhone…but I won’t be an early adopter.

That's a great idea with the e-reader. I would love for someone to design a great case with a built in e-reader on the back. Most of the existing ones seem geared for displaying colour photos; I'd like one built for reading, powered by NFC. It should easily sync up with the phone itself to send over articles, books, etc. Bonus if I can write on it.
