I "made" the iPhone Mini 18 (because Apple won't)

Check out the ProtoArc EM11 Pro: Official website: https://www.protoarc.com/products/em1... Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HF8PHQSC?... #ProtoArc #ProtoArcEm11Pro #ProtoArcErgonomicMouse The iPhone 13 Mini has one of my favorite form factors ever... and with the cult following of people still refusing to upgrade due to just that- a lot of people are hoping it will make a return. Unfortunately, I highly doubt Apple is on the same page for the upcoming iPhone 18 lineup, so I decided to take it upon myself to make the "iPhone 18 Mini" by updating the iOS, replacing the battery, adding certain functionalities, and maximizing it's capabilities to see how it'd fit in the modern ecosystem. I also want to talk about why the upcoming iPhone Ultra/ Fold could be what kills the Mini, or maybe brings it back...?
