The 13 Pro Max is smaller than every Note back up to the Note 8.
it'll be interesting to see where the SE goes in the future. I don't think they can use that body design forever. Maybe they end up repurposing the 13 Mini into a future SE, and just stop giving it the future camera updates that standard iPhones get
I know but it's already incredible quality for that, and if and when they're ready to get more quality then they can make the jump to an actual camera, they cost less then iPhone pro and look much better.
I'm just saying we've hit the point where most people are already having their needs met while still lacking in other places, the balance should start to shift.
I'm talking about way back in the day when Apple thought the idea of larger phones was ludicrous, which was back in the Galaxy Note 1 era when the screen size was an, at the time, unbelievable 5.3 inches.
Apple's Steve Jobs: 'no one's going to buy' a big phone
In response to a question at its press conference today about whether Apple could've done anything to avoid its antenna issues with the iPhone 4, Steve took the opportunity to rip on bigger rivals, saying that making a phone so big "you can't get your hand around it" helps, but that "no one's...

Mini is dope.
The only annoyance is the lack of 120hz but I can live without it.
Yeah I think we'll see a bit of iteration and refinement in the design, but the latest iPhone SE is a hell of a lot of phone for the price (and I say that as somebody who despises Apple as a company). If they'd just make the phone a couple of millimetres thicker and throw a 5AH battery in there, I'd come back to using an iPhone.
My ideal iPhone would be an "iPhone 14 Pro Mini". Give me the Pro camera and featureset in the iPhone Mini body and I'd throw upwards of $2,000 at Apple to get it.

Well Jobs did die in 2011 before the first bigger phone in 2014.
Well, we know the SOC will outperform any Android phone regardless of the manufacturer.
They also said no one wanted video on an iPod.I'm talking about way back in the day when Apple thought the idea of larger phones was ludicrous, which was back in the Galaxy Note 1 era when the screen size was an, at the time, unbelievable 5.3 inches.

Apple will say no one wants the thing they're not making until they start making it.
I have a 12 mini without a case. I switched from Android exclusively to this and I adore it. Amazing phone.
The wobble absolutely KILLS me. I'm tempted to put something akin to a furniture pad on the back to be level with the camera bump and stop the wobble. It's one of the things I like about the new Pixel design.
Ya. This + the higher response screen on the 13 will probably get me to jump from a 12 pro max to a 14 pro max.
Really excited for the rumored 48 megapixel camera sensor on these. Should be a huge improvement over the 12mp sensors that Apple have stuck with for years.
Don't care at all about the phone being a little thicker or lenses being a little bigger if it means better cameras, better thermals, and better battery life.
I'm so glad Apple has taken this new approach towards their MacBook and iPhone lines in recent years. Who cares about thinness if it's to the detriment of quality/performance.

The only reason I have a Mini is because no Android OEMs are making small phones. I strongly prefer Android to iOS and hope I have some decent options soon, but I don't see it happening.
I mean, Apple started increasing screen sizes nearly 10 years ago at this point... Things change.
You think Samsung, Google, or really literally any major tech companies approaches haven't change dramatically compared to 10 years ago? Samsung & Google both marketed against the idea of losing 3.5mm headphone ports, for example. But here we are.

I think 120hz will eventually come to the regular ones but not anytime soon.
Wow, I really likes the rumored no bump and overall thicker phone (with larger battery and whatever more that would entail).
Glad I decided to just keep my 12 mini now. Next phone will most certainly be a 13 mini.

I think they'll probably switch to a 2-3 year interval for an iPhone mini, or give the SE the same dimensions down the line. As it is, the 8/SE form factor isn't a suitable alternative for the not-insignificant number of people who want a truly small phone, and are happy to hang onto their small devices for years until they become unusable. I think Apple knows this.

Maybe not surprised, but disappointed all the same. I love my 13 mini. I hope they end repurposing its form factor for the SE down the line.
I agree. I have other devices available when I need the real estate, with my phone I favor portability & usability.
Switching from the SE to the 13 mini I am enjoying the larger screen but the dimensions are making it a borderline two-hand experience. It's a little frustrating after handling a small glass sliver for the past decade.
But I do understand many people running everything through their phone and wanting a larger device.
Has anything been said on specs?
Still rocking the 6S and will be upgrading to the 13 Pro probably next week…. But should I wait for the 14 Pro now we're into April?
6S has served me well, but the battery is kaput and it is starting to show its age with performance. Plus I believe it has had its final iOS update and I guess we'll be seeing forced obsolescence with Apps over the next few months.

I was all in on the 12 mini, but after a year of using it I had to swap it for a 13 Pro. The idea of the smaller phone was super appealing, and the size/weight of the device was great, but actually using the small screen was anything but. For some reason, I just couldn't adapt to the smaller keyboard and the number of typos I made skyrocketed (also the battery life was terrible 😬).
Gotta say though, as much as the improved cameras on modern phones are nice to have, the camera bumps absolutely disgust me.

I went from a 6 to a 12 Mini and I love everything about it except, a year and a bit on, the battery life. Comparing it to my partner's huge Android, the battery capacity is night and day and I'm always a bit envious. Still though, not sure it's enough for me to have wanted to swap to a non-Mini in future... but if I can hold out for as long as last time, maybe it'll swing back the other way to making smaller phones again.
Phones are primarily used as media-consumption devices. Until that changes, big phones are in, even if they're uncomfortable.
Oh...
Oh my.
Oh my.
A bit much but may I alter with a "What the frick‽"
