Re:Ask HN: Why there are no Android mini phones? on Saturday November 20, 2021 @09:49AM (#29288538)
You touched on a possible answer to this question. Android phones tend to be taller and narrower than iPhones, so there’s less need for a special mini device. Also, as an iPhone user I find Android is better optimised for large screens (you can swipe in from either edge to return, buttons are lower on the screen etc.)

Obviously this situation in Belarus is a simple legal restriction and not a wall, but I’ve long thought that a sensible constitutional guarantee would be the right to leave the country at any time.

In my experience the new Magic Keyboard with scissor switches is just as good as, if not better than, the old pre-butterfly keyboards.
