I always hear people on hn asking for smaller screen. Apple actually made a small 12. It was the worst selling phone in the lineup.

Not only on HN, everywhere around me. It has to do with country trends I guess. In France, so many people want small phones. They just cannot buy them anymore, they're not produced.

Apple should just start a preorder site for a small iPhone 17 and wait until enough are collected to make it.

(Or do what I always thought they should do and have a small iPhone and a normal sized one with identical internals, only the case, battery, and screen would be different.)

The worst selling iPhone can still be a larger business than 50%+ of all android phones.
