Check out unihertz jelly phones, they are pretty impressive.
Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones?

Yes please. I really dislike iOS, but I use the iPhone 13 Mini for work and it’s the perfect form factor. I desperately want an Android phone that’s the same size, but I’m rocking a Flip which is the best I can do for small form factor right now.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve checked them out before but found them a bit too bulbous.

The iPhone 13 mini was the perfect size and if Apple would have used that as a base for their new SE instead of the shitty 16e, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Just give me a thicc 13 mini with a good battery, camera and a new processor.

Same, and I’ve never used an iOS device as a daily driver outside to work. I would literally dump my whole investment in the Android ecosystem over favourable form factor, especially now that Apple is on board with USBC.
I’d buy another 13 Mini, but I’m worried about how long it’ll be before planned obsolescence takes over.

I‘m also on the lookout for a cheap used one. The phase till planned obsolescence is surprisingly long with Apple as long as you have the tools to swap out the battery yourself. My wifes XS is still running great and thats a 7 year old phone by now. As soon as the batteries hit that 80% or lower degredation, they run like shit.
I‘m sure you could get at least another four years with updates out of it at the moment.
