I really like the smaller size, what does everyone think about the chances of an iPhone Mini?

When was the last time they even made a 3.5"? iPhone 4S? Even the iPod touch has had a 4" screen for 2 years now. I use my old 4S as an around the house "beater" device, and just looking at the screen is taxing on my aging eyes. Certainly nothing less than a 4" would suffice for me now.

Who knows, but with Apple anything is possible. I personally could never go back to a screen that small and my eyes wouldn't let me.....SMILE

It is a great size for portability and pocketability. But that's where it ends.

Too much rich visual media nowadays for a 3.5 inch phone. I was watching Wimbeldon yesterday via Verizon Fios app in my car looked amazing on the 6 Plus. Can't imagine watching it on a 3.5 in phone.

Well this is the same company who thought the iPhone 5C was a smart idea.

So you never know...

Of course it was a smart idea, cheaper to make than a iPhone 5 and they could charge the same price as a iPhone 5 would have when the iPhone 5S came out. It was a very good business decision.

I am currently using a 5", 5.5" and 5.7" phones and even when I had my first modern smartphone it was 4". I cannot see myself using a 3.5" screen phone...

It was the #2 seller (behind the iPhone 5S) on 3 of the 4 major carriers, so it was pretty smart. :)


Really because many reports otherwise....while it sold well, it wasn't anything what apple expected and that is why you do not see the colored iPhones in the 6/6plus era lol. So to me that sounds more like it was an idea that did decently but certainly not well enough as they don't appear to be continuing that idea a year later.

Re: 3.5" iPhone again?

I could see a 4", 4.7" and 5.5" lineup being the regular from now on but no way will they do another 3.5" model.

I have an iPhone 5c, it's a great phone and I see them everywhere, at least here in the UK. What was so wrong with it?

I also think that it is very likely that Apple will launch a 6c model this year.

I have just been looking at a 4/4s that was found down by the side of our garage last week. The back was missing and there was some corrosion inside. It still works after I charged it up. Looking at the screen on this phone, there is no way that Apple will ever launch another phone with a 3.5" screen.
