    @cantankerous_cashew This saddens me. It means people don’t really get that it used to be “the medium message” but now it’s “the device is the message”.

    The iPhone is a thing to communicate with others one-on-one
    An iPad is a thing to watch videos on if you like and to scroll through the news.
    A computer is a thing to work with, if you insist like a portable one.
    A TV is a thing to watch stuff together.

    Customers seem to long for one device that does it all.
    Sad.

        You’re right the mini 13 was 5.4 inches, the smallest iPhone 16 looks to be 6.1 and the pixel 9 is 6.3

        It doesn’t feel that big but compared to the mini, big.
