But the iPhone mini is what I want darn it. Considering the SE and Plus lines are also dead, I’m not sure they were what the people wanted either. But I suppose Apple is just throwing gimmicks phones at the wall to see what sticks.

I definitely don’t want this and it’s hard for me to see how this is any more useful than just having an iPad or a laptop in a bag a long side your phone.

    I feel you, and that does suck. Like I said, loved the Mini.

    I mentioned it in another comment, and I know it’s even more niche than the iPhone Mini, but I love the idea of having forScore with me in a form factor that is actually useful for sheet music at all times. I sing off of an iPad, but the number of times I’ve wanted my sheet music but not had my iPad with me is surprisingly high. I can bring up forScore on the iPhone, but the screen is a terrible size for sheet music.

    Obviously for that use case, as others, the iPad is better because it’s bigger. But my iPad doesn’t fit in my pocket and I don’t carry a bag everywhere.

    I don’t think this form factor will be useful or desirable for everyone, but I think I would really love it. Don’t know if I’ll jump on the Gen 1, but it’s tempting.
