My girlfriend liked the mini, but didn’t get it partially because it doesn’t feature the 3 cameras. As long as the mini is positioned as a down brand phone, even for technical reasons, some of the interested market is excluded
One thing I don’t think people appreciate is just how impressively compact the Minis are. Every bit of space is used up. I doubt any Android OEM (with the exception of maybe Samsung) could get make a comparable device.
Unless they used something akin to a laptop webcam, there simply isn’t enough space for a third camera.
There's just not enough space for all the random features people want in a small form factor phone and keep it thin-ish. The Pro Max camera group alone is 1/5-1/4 of the back real estate on the 12 mini.
Don't see the same with my family, girlfriend has a 13 Pro Max, mum and sister have the 11 Pro Max.

From what I have seen. The average person would rather two hand their phone than have a smaller one.

Not only smaller hands, but smaller pockets.

Most women I know never carried their phones in pockets, but in their handbags. Even in the tiny phones era.

Every female member of my family has complained about devices being too big.
My wife's solution to iPhones being too big was to upgrade all of her handbags and to buy flouncy dresses with pockets.
Wanna trade families? Please?

What kind of illoyal loser would denounce their wife in public, offer to “trade” her like some property, all over some completely meaningless bullshit cliché complaint about their choices of style?

Give me a break. You know damn well that the GP didn't really want to trade his wife and it was a joke, yet you felt compelled to gallop in here on your steed and bravely proclaim - on a tech message board, in 2022 - that you are against treating human beings as property.
If you thought the joke was distasteful, say it was distasteful. But pretending it was serious and loudly letting us all know you are against trading human beings is some of the lamest virtual signalling I've ever seen.

Wow, angry much? I suggest contacting your local mental health crisis hotline before you turn your internet rage into something people actually care about. In the United States, just dial 988.
Failing that, try getting a sense of humor. They're nice.
People with smaller hands want to be able to operate the phone fully with one hand.
