I’m bitterly clinging to my iPhone 13 mini, because I suspect it’s the last phone I’ll ever actively enjoy. I went along with bigger phones when that became the trend and decided I didn’t like them, and the mini line was such a relief to go back to. Once it’s no longer tenable, I’ll probably just buy a series of “the least bad used phone I can find” because I know I’ll be mildly frustrated every time I use it.
I finally made the move from my beloved 12 Mini to a 13 Pro and now 16 Pro, and while the 12 Mini’s size is just fantastic, I feel the benefits of the 16 Pro make up for it. It’s still a relatively small phone - basically the smallest on the market now - and the battery life and cameras more than make up for the size IMO. Battery life was hot trash on the Mini’s unfortunately, especially after a year+.
I do like how Samsung at least has started making their regular flagship phone smaller every year over the last 4 years or so, after years of increasing size every year. The iPhone seems to have settled in to the current size thankfully, just getting smaller bezels to make the screen bigger while staying the same physical size.
