I’m still using an iPhone 12 mini, and I’ll stay with this form factor as long as they make it. In fact I still have my 6s as my second phone (though I need to fix the screen again).

I kept the four(s?) until someone stole it and got the six. I kept the two until someone stole it and I got the four. And before that I used the nokia windows phone (which was fking awesome beacues of all the microsoft integration). And the truth is if msft had kept up I’d have used it.

What a bunch of FKUPS they were at MSFT during the Ballmer administration. I thought apple was gonna do the same nosedive when Jobs died, because some of the decisons were so bad it was unbelievable – over estimating the ipad, the watch, cancelling the routers? Abandoning the server and network biz? That menu bar? The ports? Dumbing down the software? But they seem to have turned a corner with the M1s even if they still underrate the business, power user, developer and community and have all but surrendered video production to the microsoft platform. (omg).

They went full consumer, but it’s resulted in the company surviving entirely by the iphone.
