I got an iPhone Mini hoping to be able to use it with one hand, but it wasn't small enough to do that (and I don't have small hands), so I returned it. I figured if I'm going to need a PopSocket anyway, I may as well have more screen space too

I'm not surprised the Mini has been underperforming. I think it's in an awkward valley where it's not small enough for that to be an advantage, it's only small enough for it to be a disadvantage

My thoughts exactly. I am 6'4" and I have an iPhone 13 mini and even I think it's too big for my taste.

I simply need something that I can use comfortably with a single hand, small enough to call it compact and hide in my pocket.

I totally get the appeal of a bigger screen though. I can appreciate it for what it achieves: bigger screen means easy to read, good for watching media, playing games and easier to type on it. But for my use case, I want to AVOID making it that easy to do all of those things while still getting benefits of a smartphone, let alone an iPhone.

That's why I am really bummed that iPhone mini is going away. I don't think I'll switch to Android, because I have a lot of apple devices and the ecosystem integration is quite valuable for me.
