I wish they would make a mini version of this, it would be perfect. After the 13 Mini, us small phone lovers are screwed.

I think Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, has decided he will have a go at an iPhone 13 mini sized android phone, since nothing exists in that space anymore.
Android rather than iPhone, but I've also recently given up hoping Apple would release a small phone. I recently bought a used iPhone 13 mini when my minor-regret-sized SE 2022 started playing up and I saw that all the rumours pointed at this 16E being huge.
On the bright side, when your mini dies, there will likely be better flips out there. The Z Flip 6 isn't that bad currently, and I really did enjoy how much pocket space it saved, but if you're stuck to Apple it's another 2 years before they release their attempt.
still loving my 12mini. size is perfect, batt is only issue.
Lots of Android options available, and much more affordable.
You must let go. This not happening anymore. That boat sailed for all OEMs. It will just lead to heartache and defeat and frustration or a combo of these.
