Only matters for people who care; that is not even the majority of apple users.

It is well established that upgrading every year is a waste of funds; A lot of users buy a phone every 5-8 years (or after a destructive event) -

IOS is nice to use. That's all that matters to a huge proportion of the market.

Me? I'll keep my 13 Mini until it dies, or until a new "Mini" is released - phones don't need to be massive.

iPhone 12 mini lover and user checking in here. The haters will berate us for our choice stating that "no one wants a small phone", but that's a lie. Normal sized phones were never going to be instant day-one hits. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy to launch them during Covid, offer them 2 years, and say no one wants them.

Give them a permanent place in the lineup, treating phones like every other very personal device meant for humans. Small, medium, and large.

If you do that, and give people time to see exactly why 5.42 screens are superior to 6.1"+ sizes, then I think the numbers will start to change from what we saw with the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, which were both launched when people were less on the go than in 100 years.
