Writing this on an iPhone mini. It’s the best form factor for me. I don’t want to lug an iPad mini everywhere, and that’s what big phones feel like to me.

There was a time for a year or so that I carried an actual cellular-enabled iPad Mini in my front right pocket instead of an iPhone. I had to stop because it has no SMS app for the SIM card (or vibrate motor, or ability to host an Apple Watch) so I ended up carrying an iPhone as well alongside.

Then the XL or Pro Max or whatever (huge phablet) came out and I used that for a while. The added battery life is lovely.

I finally settled on the non-max Pro, because it is as large as you can go and still be operable with one hand. The Pro Max is a two-hands-always device. If I'm going to do that I might as well carry an iPad Mini.
