Then the regular iPhone is definitely for you, but I reckon you also have bigger than average hands. I have pretty much average sized hands and even on the Mini, I struggle to tap the back button without changing my grip. So especially for smaller people, in Asian countries or women in general, a regular phone is not ergonomically suitable.

Well, I get the being at home with a bigger phone because at home I only use my laptop, even when I want to browse the web during breakfast. It’s when I leave home that I always use the phone one-handed and a bigger device than this is impossible to use. I never cared that much for battery life as I always carry a battery pack whenever I might need it. The screen size is fine in portrait use, but I never watched that many videos (landscape) on a phone so I don’t care for the extra real estate.

Also, the only reason I hate the concept if the regular size becoming the standard is that the smaller sizes are now seen as a niche, and the Mini lineup was cut this year (and possibly will not return for another 2-3 years). If it had a permanent spot, I wouldn’t really care, as the internals are all the same.

I would say so just because there is a market for it, same as there is one for the Plus or the SE (could even become the SE but I wouldn’t want the smaller phone to equate being the cheapest with less features). I even think they should just call it the Mini lineup with no number (like the SE) and release it triannually or something.
