With the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 small, which could fit in the palm of your hand and boasted flagship-level specs, Apple thought it had invented something that fans of the brand had not yet realised they needed. Apple claimed that the iPhone 12 mini was the world's smallest, thinnest, and lightest 5G phone at the time. You can watch the iPhone 12 mini reveal below if you're feeling very sentimental.

On September 7th, Apple plans to introduce a number of new iPhone models. According to rumours, there could be four different iPhone 14 models: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. You'll see that the iPhone 14 mini is not mentioned anywhere in this. This is due to rumours that Apple has abandoned the iPhone small, according to reports from as early as December 2021. Why? There do appear to be a few solid justifications for this, though. Let's examine them.

You must adore Vivo's V-Series smartphones, that much is certain. The Vivo V25 Pro (and V25 series) appears to be perhaps their best work to date. It's a company that loves to use gimmicks, smart (or even innovative) ideas to improve them year after year (as per our review). The camera features of these devices have undergone extensive practise by the Chinese industry during the previous years. Their R&D department appears to be always active, working on everything from phones with twin selfie lenses to pop-up cameras and even a hybrid solution of two pop-up selfie cameras (!).

V25 Pro Design by Vivo
According to our review, it is gorgeous. When exposed to UV light (sun) for just a few minutes, the device's back, in particular, can perform marvels. If you have the required transparent plastic covers, it is simple to produce some works of art because the back colour shifts to darker tones. But keep in mind that this function only functions with the Sailing Blue colour option. The effect vanishes and the accent reappears when UV lamps are turned off.

The Vivo V25 Pro has outstanding side curves that contribute to its elegant appearance. With a weight of just 190 grammes and dimensions of 158.9 x 73.5 x 8.6 mm, it is very simple to hold in your hands and transport. Despite being a mid-range tablet, I was impressed with the build quality and how cosy it felt in my hands whether I was using it for work or play.

However, it seems fragile; take care not to drop it. There could be a riot.
