Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

I on the other hand don't want to mess around with an adapter I will break or loose once a year for the 1-2 times a day I plug a 3.5mm headphone jack into my phone. As for size... am I really the only one who thinks phones are too skinny now? My current phone is "thick" compared to what most manufacturers are shooting for now and I don't like holding it without the extra thickness from my cheap phone case. Like... it's an unpleasantly un-ergonmic experience holding something too rigid and thin. It seems like everyone else thinks we're nowhere near that point yet. Maybe I just have delicate sensitive hands...

Most phones are certainly too large for my taste. I want my phone to fit in my pocket while I am sitting. That’s why I like the iPhone mini series.

Ports like a 3.5mm only really effect the minimum thickness though. The footprint of a phone is more about the size of the screen and battery. I'm not familiar with the relative thicknesses of different iPhones. Is that why you prefer the mini or is it the footprint? Is the mini a comfortable thickness to hold or too thick/thin?

Weight and screen size. I’d prefer it thinner, still.
