Such a shame, because battery aside (which is supposedly better in the 13), it’s still the most enjoyable phone I’ve had in a very long time. The size is extremely convenient for me and I believe iOS works best at this display size; even the home screen on an iPhone Pro Max shows the same amount of information as my Mini and likewise for the status bar (except for the models with a “Dynamic Island”). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bouncing@partizle.com 1 point 3 years ago I wouldn’t say I use my phone for productivity, but I do just play and consume content with it when I’m board.
