> I think it will be a very hard sell to add extra work for the production lines for a smaller size

The Toyota Corolla sells 1 million units a year worldwide - it's totally practical and realistic to set up a production line to make 1 million devices a year.

Apple sells 200 million iphones a year.

That's why they're happy to make the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max and 16e and offer them in 4-5 colours per model as well.

It's something else - probably sales.

Is there also an added effort around making iOS work on the smaller screen size/resolution as well though?

If they can standardise those, they might end up with an easier OS to maintain once the Mini (sadly) is no longer supported

AFAIK it's 360px wide, the same as on larger phones. You can of course enable an accessibility option to take it down to 320px width, which was the iOS standard for almost a decade and only stopped being a standard iOS resolution when they killed off the iPod touch.

You can zoom the screen anyway.
