Report: Apple is testing foldable iPhones, having the same problems as everyone else::Don't expect these clamshell-style foldables in 2024 or 2025 or maybe ever.

Why don't we get back to smaller smartphones like a decadr ago?

I have an iphone mini… you need smaller than that? Why? It’s pretty darn small already.

They quit Mini business at iPhone 13.

Ahh that sucks. Probably not enough people bought them then.

I also have one, and it's a damn shame that Apple stopped the mini series after the 13. I don't need half a tablet in my pocket, I need something that easily fits in my pocket and can take halfway decent pictures. I'm not sure that my next phone will be an iPhone because of this, and I've exclusively used iPhones since the 4S.

Well we’ll just have to wait and see. They stopped making the mini ipads for several years, then brought them back in 2020, so anything’s possible.
