Well, I can’t speak for everyone else, but I can’t go back because they don’t sell any small phones.

I’m clinging to my SE. It’s the last small phone made by anyone other than Chinese no-names. I will be sad when it’s no longer viable as an option.

There was the iPhone 13 Mini. It’s adorably small. But it didn’t sell well so they stopped making the Mini line.

I’ve got a 12 mini and bought it just because it was small. Had nothing else from the apple ecosystem (altho I did but airpods with the phone cause it had no 3.5mm jack), and still bought it just because it was small. People like to point out and laugh at how tiny the phone is, but I don’t care cause at least I don’t have to carry around half a tablet everyday. Sad to hear they discontinued the mini line, even tho I wasn’t planning on buying apple again.
