Regardless. Apple tried, they made the 12 Mini and 13 Mini. Very few people bought it. A few million units is not interesting at Apple's scale.

People want larger batteries and screens than small phones can offer.

(I was in camp 'small phones', but gave up when my 12 Mini had its best time.)

The 12 & 13 mini with their 5.4 inch screens are huge. The SE 2nd & 3rd generation at 4.7 is already too big. The 1st SE's 4 incher was probably a little too small, but a slightly bigger form factor combined with thinner bezels would probably allow for a screen of about 4.2-4.5 which should be perfect.

The iPhone 13 mini is a cute little device, I really like it, but its battery life is so abysmal — can not last even a half day.

How much are you using your phone daily to run down the battery like that? My 13 mini regularly goes a day and a half.

Yeah, I had exactly the same issue with my 12 Mini, even when the battery was still new.
