The triumph of the smaller Pixel 9 Professional might imply that Apple is on the trail of self-sabotage with the bigger iPhone 16 Professional

Repeat after me: Compact Flagship Telephones Matter! Compact Flagship Telephones Matter! CFPM! OK, that one does not roll off the tongue so simply. Nor does it go notably simple on the ear, too. However you get the purpose.

That is not simply me proclaiming random slogans on a Tuesday, screaming with a buying bag throughout my chest on the native mall with passersby retaining a protected distance round me. Fairly the opposite. The “CFPM” slogan is the voice of the lots: the folks have spoken.

I am speaking, after all, about the truth that early adopters present overwhelming choice for 2 Pixel 9 fashions. Considered one of these two fashions is the Pixel 9 Professional: the compact successor to final 12 months’s Pixel 8 Professional. Sure, folks actually need small telephones.

Wait, aren’t these two – the Pixel 9 Professional and the Pixel 8 Professional – the very same dimension?

No.

This, nonetheless, shouldn’t be the purpose. Nor that Compact Flagship Telephones Matter.

As an alternative, Google made me take into consideration… Apple.

The truth that Google’s compact champ is so wanted might imply large hassle for Apple and its upcoming iPhone 16 Professional, which has apparently additionally modified in dimension, in comparison with the iPhone 15 Professional. Sure, as you’ve got accurately guessed, the 16 Professional is bigger than the 15 Professional.
