The last small iPhone: 141 grams, 5.4 inches, full A15 flagship internals. It sold poorly and is missed enormously - used prices say the demand was real, just not at launch.

Pros

  • Genuinely one-hand-able flagship
  • Full A15 with sensor-shift OIS camera
  • 141g featherweight
  • Still-current iOS support

Cons

  • Battery life is the obvious cost
