Last year, Apple launched a new model in the iPhone series. It was the iPhone 12 Mini. A compact phone with major specifications. Not only that, but Apple has also revived its iPhone SE smartphone. It was a compact, cheap, but powerful phone. Although, the iPhone 12 Mini, even with its main specifications, did not get much sales. But that does not mean that Apple is stopping. We will see the iPhone 13 Mini this year.
Sales of the iPhone 12 Mini were not as good as expected. And we think it could be the end of Apple’s Mini smartphones. Jon Prosser mentioned that Apple will stop production of the Mini-phone in the next quarter. However, the leak also said that this does not mean that Apple will stop selling the iPhone 12 Mini. They can restart production at any time. And the reason for not producing more was that Apple may have already reached current demand for the iPhone 12 Mini.
We have to admit that the iPhone 12 Mini is a niche phone. With a 5.4-inch screen, the only people interested in compact devices will buy it. It is not an average size, but very small. For comparison, the main phones are currently launched with a 6.5 to 7 inch screen. For those people who love the Mini-phone, well, the low sales of the iPhone 12 Mini will not be a problem, as we will be able to get the iPhone 13 Mini this year.
According Jon Prosser, we will see a flagship of the Mini this year too. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 13 series will be similar in size to the iPhone 12 series. There will be four models like the 12 series. To connect again, the iPhone 12 Mini came with a 5.4 inch screen followed by a 6.1 inches on the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. While the 12 Pro Max featured a massive 6.7 inch screen.
A possible reason for low sales
Apple launched 5 iPhones last year. We also saw the revival of the iPhone SE. It is also a compact phone with a size of just 4.7 inches. And left after a long time. People were waiting for the SE phone. It was released months before the launch of the iPhone 12 series. And people who wanted a compact iPhone may have chosen the iPhone SE. And it may be the reason for the low sales of the iPhone 12 Mini. Well, this year we may not see a compact iPhone SE, so it makes more room for the iPhone 13 Mini.
