yeah even apple discontinued the iPhone mini line.
I really liked the Asus Zenfone 8-10 "compact flagships" at 5.9". Too bad they gave that up and went super big 6.78" for Zenfone 11.
Is it really a lack of demand? So many people I've talked to (both online and in person) seem to prefer smaller phones 🤷

@cybette@mastodon.org.uk @scops@social.tchncs.de just for the record, I’m fine with the iPhone 13 mini size. But I’d also be OK with something slightly bigger. But Apple’s latest phones tend to all be too big for my tastes. When I got the Mini I tried a 13 Pro and it didn’t neatly fit my pocket and use was awkward. Current batch are even bigger.

@cybette@mastodon.org.uk @scops@social.tchncs.de I think part of the reason is that the smaller phones are always presented as ‘crappier’ versions of another phone. Rather than a neat, cool device of its own. Which could even have a slightly different UI made possible by one hand use and more compact size.
