I bought an iPhone 15 Pro, used it for two days, returned it, and bought the best form factor 5G phone ever made: the iPhone 13 mini.

I’m not a market research expert, but I think Apple has largely missed the mark by positioning its smaller phones as budget options. There’s demand for a premium small phone. Maybe even make it a wee bit thicker to improve battery life, but it should be narrow and not too tall.

Same. I switched from Android (Sony xperia compact series) to a Mini 13 and while it took a while to get used to iOS its just great. A pity they discontinued it, I intend to keep it as long as in any way possible (i.e. until apps don‘t support the then final iOS anymore)
I also really enjoy my iPhone 13 Mini. I plan to hang onto it for as long as I can because I don’t see good replacement options all that frequently.
