Agreed. I'd prefer a modern iPhone the size of an iPhone 4, it was perfegt. I made the same "upgrade" from 12 mini to 16 Pro, and the 16 Pro is so large and heavy. Feels like we're moving backwards in time.

Folding phones don't solve the problem of oversized phones, which is that they are awkward and cumbersome to use.

Some customers want a phone the size of iPhone Mini, rumored to be sold for $2K+ by Apple in 2026.

For you. As someone with large hands, I appreciate that phones grew in size and I swapped to larger devices as soon as I could.

It's not iPhone mini sized, the outer screen is wider than even a Pro Max, and it will likely be heavier than a Pro.

That is actually what I have in mind and a much better design. Current Foldable are too tall.

I hope they instead (or also) make a flip version opening up to at most the size of a regular iPhone.
