Apple should consider an iPhone/iOS light, a version stripped of anything but the bare essentials. I get why they don't, the market isn't big enough, and they can barely sell their current best phone, the iPhone SE.

They need to stop making phones every year. Most people in the world already have phones and don’t need a new one every year.

They also need to make 4 inch phone, like iPhone SE 1. That was the perfect size for a phone.

There are dozens of people who agree with you ;)

Apple came late to the big phone and were pulled there by the market. I'm surprised they still release a smaller phone at all given the rumors of such low sales.


They would be giving up massive amounts of profit if they did that. There would be a serious case for investors to sue if they made that decision.


But people need a new phone eventually. If you continuously manufacture phones anyways you might as well update the hardware while you're at it. (It also helps with keeping the price up at >1k)

I for one wouldn't buy a one year old new phone. Used sure but then the price is right.
