Ever since Apple started making their phones big I've wanted a smaller one. I never bought a mini because it has a worse camera and that's more important to me.
I'm also curious who the market is for a thinner phone. I imagine pockets on some clothes women commonly wear might work better with a thinner phone, but those pockets are almost always too small in other dimensions to actually hold the phone
Pure speculation but the fact that it has a strap accessory. Feels like something for the younger generation. Life is on your phone. You take your phone everywhere but you don’t care about pro features. Reminds me how a lot of younger folks either don’t drive or are uninterested in it.

Hm, i'd consider it (if i was upgrading yet again).
Why? My 15 Pro (not-Max) gets way too hot way too fast doing basically nothing and it p*sses me off - so, i'd rather not (yet?) take a bet if the new 17 Pro (Max) does better with an entire new thermal design - considering _something_ is _always_ off with new Apple hardware designs, starting with the iPhone 4...

When companies try smaller phones, like the iPhone 13 mini, they don't seem to sell very well. So the companies stop making them.
