I've gotten so used to my 13 mini that anything bigger just feels too big

Hoping against hope that Apple brings back that size/form factor someday so clinging on to my 13 mini until that day comes...

Even the SE was a little bigger than the 4S screen I really miss. Combined with the angled sides it was the last phone I could comfortably operate with one hand.

I always hear people on hn asking for smaller screen. Apple actually made a small 12. It was the worst selling phone in the lineup.

Guess it's time to go get one of the flip phones...

I feel like these comments complaining about modern screen sizes don't consider that Bezels have shrunk a ton since.

Both SE 2020 and 2022 had a body size of 138.4mm x 67.3mm, which gives a diagonal of 153.9mm or 6.1 inches.

The new iPhone 16e has a body of 146.7mm x 71.5mm, with a diagonal of 163.2mm, or 6.4 inches. So only 5% bigger.

They need that screen so they can fit a reasonable battery underneath... an unfortunate tradeoff

Came to the comments to see just this : how small is it ? On this huge page there is no mention of the size.

Size matters for me : I'm looking for a compact Android phone, there is none now. Something close to the iPhone 12 mini.

this was literally the only reason i wanted to buy a SE revamp

Back in my day, new advancements meant smaller phones. Hopefully we get back there soon. Till then, I'm sticking with my iPhone 12 mini.
