> Who tf is fearful? A large chunk of the retail market has PTSD from the 2022/2023 and 2025 corrections/mini-recessions and it likely will never go away. I'm dead serious. These are also folks who lived through the dotcom, 2008, and Covid crashes also (or at least one or two of them), and it doesn't help matters that whenever the market is nearing ATHs, Big Finance and Big News like clockwork immediately start cranking out doom and gloom articles about the next crash. They do this because every time there's a downturn and retail sells, wealth contracts in this nation.

The iPhone Air was interesting at first, then I realized that it weighed significantly more than the last iPhone Mini version. Not only that, a thinner iPhone is more likely to break when you sit on it at a right angle. Long puts on Apple.

FUCK YEAH holding onto my 13 mini for dear life

I am in a similar boat as you, my friend. I hoped until the last moment, there would be a surprise mini model. Unfortunately - not. And for the past few years I’ve put some hours trying to deduct why did Apple stop the mini after 2 generations. Obviously it’s for money reasons. But there could be different particular stories for why. Here are my main theories - mini is actually more expensive to make, since they need to cramp similar power into a smaller casing. Yet people are not willing to pay premium for smaller size. - mini is the same or even lower price to produce, but clients are not willing to pay the same money for a smaller device. This opens a dilemma. Does Apple handicap the Mini so it’s smaller, cheaper and weaker, or they remove it from their line - the mini is selling well, they are making money, but mini users on average buy less apps / subscriptions from the App Store. Users of mini devices use it more as a phone. That indirectly hurts Apple revenue - there is pressure from the software industry / smartphone cartel to keep the screen sizes roughly similar, thus making the business for each cartel partner less risky - the branding was wrong - the name “mini” makes people pay less Such ideas have crosses my mind. I am enthusiastic about Mini owners not purchasing much on the App Store, combined with wrong branding.
