In Europe such gifts would be considered unethical or even illegal as they’ll be considered infringements of our bribery and anti-corruption rules, worsened by the fact a political person is involved. The more I learn about the USA these months, the more I despise the country and the more I like Europe - even though it’s far from perfect.

Nice, such a thin one and a folding one. Now complete the line up with a fat mini, Apple. Same battery power, smaller screen for those who don’t want to shine with their iPhones but just wish a very usable tool allowing to do their daily work.
Meanwhile, I’ll just stick to my near perfect iPhonr Mini-13. Near? Yes, it’s slightly too big. I don’t care about thickness.

With 2nm this means less power requirements. I’d think this opens some serious options for a new mini phone.

My 13 mini is still going strong but one day it will break and I sure don’t want anything bigger than this. Nor do I look forward to folding phones, whatever great breakthroughs are being made.  I just don’t care. For me the mini is the sweet spot. I’d actually like it to be even smaller, like the 5S.
 

You forgot to mention the most important drawback even though you did seem to go in that direction: the size of this 16E.

I also bought my 13 mini after hearing Apple was expected to terminate the mini sized phones. And here I am, surviving with my mini until Apple will realize the mini does have a lot of admirers. I won’t go larger and I won’t go the Apple Watch route (I’m a Withings guy). I just keep my fingers crossed and hope it works for years to come.
