Perhaps the perfect opportunity to stop buying Apple products?
The options on Android aren’t much better, unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.
Apple was for a while the only remaining flagship manufacturer who actually provided mini models. Ironic, because Android is supposed to be the alternative providing more options.

Literally every one of them is better, because none of them are running iOS. That’s my subjective opinion.

Samsung and Google both support devices for 5 years now. Doesn’t matter how long Apple “supports” the software because they don’t support the hardware.
I’m talking about small phones. iPhone 13 mini was the last decent option when it came to small phones. Neither Google or Samsung make phones that small. The smallest phones they make are same size as a regular iPhone 13.
Now there’s only a few “obscure” manufacturers left who make small phones. “Obscure” manufacturers usually lack long term support on both the software and the hardware side to be a decent option.
Moto is still kicking, Samsung has small models too, Asus is going alright, Sony at least the are skinny.
I haven’t seen any phone offered by these manufacturers that is as small as iPhone 13 mini. At best they’re just marginally smaller than iPhone 15.
There is no good alternative anymore if you’re looking for a truly small phone.
I find that to be a good option. Unfortunately, given my current needs, the Apple Watch is the best device to meet them, so I’m stuck with the iPhone. And yes, I’ve researched the Galaxy Watch, too, but app integration and health measurements are considered lackluster compared to the AW.
that’s always the problem with android based stuff. good software is the one thing they can’t do.
As if there are equivalent and small phones with Android.
i wish fairphone filled that market gap, and throw in a headphone jack as well.
Fairphone is barely profitable with the current ones. Forget they can Risk making a niche-Product
I’ll never part with mine!
not to worry, forced obsolescence will take care of that for you.
Have you tried just getting bigger hands
Android welcomes you brothers and sisters
Android also has no small phones anymore.
There’s Asus’s ZenFones.
The solution is obvious. Don’t buy another goddamn iPhone.
There aren’t that many Android phones that actually are smaller.
It’s probably not gonna happen but maybe they’ll fill that gap with the next iPhone SE
Sadly I think the latest rumours were that they’d use the Xr/11 chassis for the new SE. hopefully not because if they use the 12/13 mini… oh boy it’d be great
