2023 - Apple does not build an iPhone 14 Mini: Now a small cell phone with Android should appear instead

SMALL MOBILE PHONE TEST (2023): THE 15 MOST COMPACT SMARTPHONES IN COMPARISON

Apple has dispensed with an iPhone 14 Mini. The resulting gap is now to be filled by a small Android-based cell phone. Behind this is an old acquaintance.

A team of former Pebble employees is apparently working on a small Android-based cell phone.
This could be financed via Kickstarter, among other things.
But a lot is still unclear.

Eric Migicovsky brought us the first smartwatch with the Pebble. Now he is apparently working on a new project: a small cell phone based on Android.

As reported by TheVerge, Migicovsky has assembled a team that is currently exploring a concept for the mobile phone. The idea arose from a petition that Migicovsky published in May 2022. On his website smallandroidphone.com, he collected voices from people who, like him, wanted a new small Android-based cell phone.

He then wanted to use the list to convince Google or another manufacturer to build a corresponding model. But apparently nobody was found for the project and Apple also discontinued its mini-series. That’s why Migicovsky is now tackling the project himself.

That’s what the mini cell phone is supposed to offer

The team also includes another former Pebble employee, Benjamin Bryant. In a YouTube video, he is already presenting the first details of the equipment and design ideas for the mobile phone to the community. The display size should be well below 6 inches, for example. One of the processors under discussion is the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 from Qualcomm.

If and when the mobile phone will appear is still unclear. The team is currently clarifying whether production is feasible. The next step would then be to collect the money – for example via Kickstarter. If you don’t want to wait that long, we present 15 current, quite compact smartphones to bridge the waiting time.
