The iPhone Mini's Demise: A Market Shifting Reality

According to Quo Ming Chi, this year will be the last time we see Apple's iPhone mini bomb in sales. However, next year may not fare so well. The market is shifting towards bigger phones that have become too large for consumers to handle comfortably, with some companies even resorting to folding designs. This shift has left the iPhone mini feeling underappreciated and unwanted.

In a surprising twist, Quo Ming Chi has dedicated this message to the iPhone mini, acknowledging that it's not being well received by consumers. The author takes a moment to express their disappointment and frustration with the current market trends, which they feel have unfairly pitted the iPhone mini against itself. They remind us that it's not the phone's fault, but rather the lack of appreciation from consumers who are increasingly opting for larger devices.

As we move forward, let's take a deep breath and attempt to recover from this cringe-worthy moment. Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by this situation. We hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive us for sharing such a painful experience.

Moving on to more pressing matters, the latest design leaks for Apple's iPhone 13 have finally surfaced. According to Apple Track and My Smart Price, both reputable sources, the final design has been finalized. The leak reveals an iPhone 13 with a smaller notch, speaker moved up into the top bezel, and a slightly modified camera layout on the back. The Pro model, however, boasts a new notch and a larger camera module.

The images of the front glass panel have also emerged, courtesy of MacRumors and another unknown source. The panels appear to be identical, leaving us wondering how these leaks are circulating through the market. Are they being shared by Apple itself or by some anonymous insider?

In conclusion, the iPhone 13's design has become a familiar sight in recent weeks. With its smaller notch and more compact layout, it's hard not to notice a resemblance to last year's model. As we move forward into the next generation of iPhones, one thing is certain – Apple's design philosophy remains intact.

A New Era: A Musical Goodbye

In our previous episode, we experimented with a new outro song, "Foreign" by Slaps Dog, which was licensed for a hefty price tag of $20. The song had an undeniable energy that captured our attention, and we were thrilled to share it with you at the end of each episode. However, due to time constraints, we could only play 10 seconds of it.

Today, we're going to sit down and listen to the full version together. Our ears are open, and we're ready to experience the entire song as intended. As the music begins, let's take a moment to appreciate its infectious beat and haunting melody. The lyrics may not be in our native language, but the emotions conveyed through the music are universal.

As "Foreign" comes to an end, we find ourselves with mixed emotions – some might say it's a good goodbye, while others might see it as a promise of new beginnings. Either way, it's been an absolute pleasure sharing this song with you. We hope that in the future, we'll have the opportunity to create more memorable moments like these.

And so, our time together comes to an end. As we part ways, remember that you're always welcome back here. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and insights into the world of technology.
