Last year, Apple introduced a new model in the iPhone series. It was the iPhone 12 Mini. A compact phone with specifications at the highest level. Not only that, but Apple has also revived its iPhone SE smartphone. It was a cheap but powerful compact phone. Although, iPhone 12 Mini, although with its flagship specifications it could not achieve much sales. But that does not mean that Apple will stop. We will see the iPhone 13 Mini this year.
Sales of the iPhone 12 Mini were not as expected. And we thought it might be the end of Apple’s Mini smartphones. Jon Prosser mentioned that Apple will stop production of the Mini phone next year. However, the leakster also said that this does not mean that Apple will stop selling the iPhone 12 Mini. They can start production again at any time. And the reason for no more production was that Apple may have already reached the 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’s not an average size, but too small. By comparison, nowadays flagship phones with a screen size of 6.5 to 7 inches are introduced. For those who liked the Mini phone, the low sales of the iPhone 12 Mini is not a problem as we might get the iPhone 13 Mini this year.
According to Jon Prosser, we will also see a Mini flagship this year. Rumor has it that the iPhone 13 series will be the same size as the iPhone 12 series. There will be four models, just like the 12 series. To call again, iPhone 12 Mini has a 5.4-inch screen followed by a 6.1-inch screen on iPhone 12 & 12 Pro. While the 12 Pro Max had a massive 6.7-inch screen.
A possible reason for low sales
Apple launched 5 iPhones last year. We also saw the rebirth of the iPhone SE. It is also a compact phone with a size of only 4.7 inches. And it came out after a long time. People were waiting for the SE phone. It was launched months before the launch of the iPhone 12 series. And people who wanted a compact iPhone may have gone along with the iPhone SE. And that 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 offers more space to the iPhone 13 Mini.
