What about iPhone mini?

Well, iphone 13 mini is smaller…

iPhone 13 mini

iPhone 12 mini

RIP iPhone mini

You might be thinking of the iPhone SE, which is the budget offering that’s almost as small as the Mini and has lower-end specs.

IPhone 13 mini btw.

What sucks about the iPhone mini?

It was not a mini. iPhone 5 was mini.

Love my iphone 12 mini too. I was so disappointed when I found out they wouldn't be releasing mini versions anymore

What features do the mini iphones not have? I’m unsure they would even appeal to me or be necessary. Again I’m realizing how in the minority I am on this though haha.

You won't get one, unfortunately, both because there's no motivation for Apple to make it, and because battery life would be an insurmountable issue, at least with current tech. The battery life in the Mini is already significantly inferior to the other iPhones in the line; Apple's only going to be willing to push that so far before it's an obviously-compromised product and they would just refuse to ship it.

Which iPhone do you have that is much smaller than the 12 Mini?

Get the iPhone. Everything just works. I have the non mini 12. Its damn near as perfect as it’s going to get.

iPhone 13 mini does exist. But I haven't seen one since.

The iPhone 12 Mini appears to be 12mm taller, but apart from that, it looks good. I hadn't heard of it, so thank you for pointing that out.

I'd say that Mini is a subset of Mobile. And if you can use Mobile you have no reason to use Mini. Mobile is not available on iPhone (doe to Apple's market restrictions) and on many older devices.

Sadly yes, if the Mini means additional costs and only captures users which'd have bought your phone anyway it's just overhead.

Sad to say but ruthless supply chain and product range efficiency is one of the pillars of Apple's return.


If the iPhone mini is managing to capture all of the "I want a small flagship phone" market, it's worth it. As long as the Mini exists, it's impossible for other manufacturers to try and compete.
