I am still on an iPhone 12 Mini, I bought it in 2021, and have finally resigned myself to buying an iPhone 16 this winter.

Hanging on to my 13 mini for as long as i can.

Looks like the foldable will be the next with a small, external, screen. If they can magically get the weight in the ballpark of the mini I might be interested. That said at $2k+ I probably won’t be.

I can see myself dumping €2k for a foldable iPhone/iPad device, but then I would need to keep it for 5-6 years
