#3I wonder if this means they’ll finally make the iphone air that a vocal minority has wanted forever. I assume men with giant hands or tiny egos are still in charge so it’s not all that likely but there’s always a chance!
Edit: downvotes are from the tiny ego camp, I suppose.

For what it’s worth, I downvoted because I think what you wrote is not correct. Apple is not engaged in some large-man vendetta against small phones. They make more money off selling large phones because that’s what most people want and the market of people that want small phones is not profitable enough to serve it.

They had a small phone in the 12 Mini. No one bought it.
I’m sure it was just tiny egos though.

Big hands, fat-fingering the upvote.

12 Mini has poor battery life, 13 Mini had COVID.

I think it’s notably strange that most Apple product lines have a few obviously different form factors which have largely not changed in the past twelve or so years, except the “phone” which has grown into what used to be a tablet form factor. I think it’s exceptionally strange that there is such a strong reaction when people like me, who think the iphone 4 was the right size, comment thusly and it’s always a comment letting Apple off the hook because they “tried” and didn’t make enough money. And I think it’s absolutely mind boggling that I am asking for an iphone Air, and comments here and elsewhere point to the mini as if branding and marketing are some abstract concept that only applies when apple goes out and creates a new market. An iphone mini is not the same as an iphone air. And I stand by my op comment that this comes down to inept product people making bad product choices and the resultant marketing. I understand there is a huge market for an iphone max but I’m confused as to how everyone has agreed that the minority who want a phone sized phone aren’t relevant.
Maybe it’s not absurd to suggest that a bunch of powerful men are making decisions that do not account for women, whose hands are generally smaller, in tech. And I sure do hope that a new head of product for iphone will have some fucking vision.
