On: I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)

[tinytoon]

I can confirm, that Apple my misunderstood the market: I was eager to buy a new iPhone because I just finished my masters degree and started a new job, had a bit of money and than the SE2 launched. My 5s or SE1 started to age and as an beginner app developer a current phone was important. I was so happy because I could not see my self using one of those bigger phones even though the SE2 was still bigger than my 5s/SE1. A few months later the mini was released and my initial reaction was "OMG this is THE perfect phone, but I just got a new one... i can not afford to buy another one".

Would this be a good game for a VR scenario ? A Player could youse hand or finger gestures to move and rotate the individual blocks and surrounding level/area

Teams is such a bad piece of software. I'm a developer myself and ask myself all the time "how do they get away with this". I know many people from a verity of professions... really no one is liking it...

I also still have one of theese. I added more ram and ssd is comming. It's still a great device for Music, Photos, the Web. I did use it for video-conferencing, because the webcam can still hold up. And the little remote is still so great
