If Apple produced an Iphone SE with battery life that lasted, by making it a little thicker, then people would buy it IMO. The problem with the small phones is they arecreated on the premise that they should be crappy phones.

Of course everyone has a different version of what they consider crappy but bad battery life has got to be at the top of most people's crap-o-meter

iPhone 13 Mini was as you say. In every way as good as the full size iPhone but small. I hear it was quite an engineering challenge. I love the thing. The people of earth did not buy it.

People did buy it though. Apple sold a non-zero number of iPhone 13 Minis. They simply decided that number wasn’t big enough.

It was a self-fulfilling prophecy to launch the iPhone mini during Covid, offer it 2 years, and say no one wants them. Especially when the SE proved people have no aversion to a normal sized phone meant for human hands.

I am clinging to mine in the vain hope they something similar gets built before it loses security updates.
