Anyone else feel like phones have changed too much…?

And they’re still changing. Feels like we lost something along the way.

This is why I still love my 12 mini.

Same. Battery life is awful though. Thinking about waiting for the new SE in March or just replacing the battery.

Phones are heading in the wrong direction…

Yeah, I’m really not looking forward to upgrading. I wish they still made the mini. I got the SE instead, but I would’ve loved to have a mini as my next phone.

@Reece
You’ll be fine.

I’d love to have a phone that small again.

I wouldn’t mind if phone cameras were smaller again.

Physics won’t allow that unless you’re okay with the lower quality that comes with it.

I’d be fine with that. The 12 Pro had the last reasonably sized cameras. I compared photos between my 12 Pro and 16 Pro for a month. On a phone screen, the difference is barely noticeable. On my big monitor, it’s more obvious, but still not a huge leap.

Yeah, the quality wasn’t bad back then.

Back when phone cameras actually made you look good. Now they capture details the human eye can’t even see.

Why didn’t you compare it to the 16 Pro Max?

I don’t own one.

Fair enough.

I really miss smaller phones. They keep getting bigger, but I’m still just a little guy…

17

Can’t wait for the 32-inch model.

18

From small and sleek to oversized and bulky.

19

I miss when phones just came in plain white. Not starlight, not weird baby blue, not whatever the 16 has now. Just normal white glass.

By this logic, the iPhone 16 should’ve been iPad-sized.
