I went from the XS Max, and holding my phone uncomfortably, to the 12 Mini, which I get to hold uncomfortably.

Neither phone really suited the measurements of my hands, but the Mini was cheaper, and I tend to use it a lot less than the Max, which I also consider a bonus. It's just for texting and calling because it's such a wee little thing.

This hilarious because the mini still has a fair screen size of over 5 inches. I use a 4.7 inch iPhone SE for work and I watch content on it all the time. I would imagine the 13 mini to be a perfectly competent device for most content

I remember the days when I had 3.5 inch iPhones and they were my main computing devices for around 6 years. They replaced any need for me to have a desktop

Not really because you can't compare screen sizes like that when the screen ratio is different. The 12 Mini shows identical amount of content in terms of width as the old 4.7in phones (375px), it just has more height (which is somewhat negated by the safe zones).

The old Plus phones (5.5in) showed significantly more content on screen than the 5.4in Mini because of the ratio differences (12.9in^(2) vs 11.1in^(2)).

Funny, I was thinking the added weight of the regular phone people are mentioning would be a good motivator for me to not be on it all the time. But good point for the smaller screen as well.
