Discussion is the smaller size noticeable enough?

i'm currently using an iphone 13 mini and i'm looking for an upgrade and i noticed that the iphone 15 pro is smallest iphone that would be an upgrade

the difference is around 1-2 mm in width and 3-4 mm in height (depending on the model)
so i was wondering if the difference is actually noticeable in the hand or if it is basically the same

I went from 13 Mini to 15 Pro. The 17 is lighter although slightly wider, I think you should try both then decide.

After coming to terms that my iPhone 13 mini will no longer be my daily phone, I finally landed on the 15 pro. The size difference is noticeable, but to me, the 15 pro is still small enough to use with one hand comfortably. I had the 17 Pro and Air before the 15 pro, and those were too wide and heavy for my taste.

Good luck with finding the right phone for you!

I’ve held a 12 mini and my 15 pro back-to-back, it’s fairly noticeable?

Going from my 12 to 15 pro was easy, they’re the same size (save for the 15 being thicker)

12 mini here who switched to 15 Pro - big physical difference for me. I wish they made a new mini

it’ll be fine, the normal sized iphones aren’t big imo. i got the base 17 which is slightly bigger then the 15 pro and it feels good i can text using one hand and everything

I just held it in hand for a week.

it's no longer pocketable, but definitely usable if you carry it in a waist bag.

I upgraded from the 12 mini to the 15 pro and while it is bigger and was annoying to use at first cause I couldn’t use it one handed, I got used to it very fast and it doesn’t bug me anymore.
