I for one just want a smaller X100VI. A truly pocketable one. That's it really.

I'm not sure how they could make it smaller. The hybrid viewfinder requires that much depth and space on one side and the battery on the other. If they reduced the height, then the body would be wider to accommodate the repositioned OVF. If they did manage to make the body thinner, the lens would then stick out more. I suppose they could go f2.8 like the X70/XF10, but I wouldn't buy it due to needing f2 at the very least.

Good points but I do see an opportunity in at least width reduction, while keeping height more or less the same. That may result in a smaller display but I am fine with that.

The battery fills the width on the left side of the lens and the OVF fills the width on the right side. IMO the width could only be reduced by making a smaller battery, by adding an XS10-style grip to hold the battery, or by reducing the size of the OVF. None of those are appealing options to me.
