Apple introduced the mini series into our lives with the iPhone 12 Mini in 2020. Users who have been fans of small models since the iPhone 4 also loved this device. Later, the iPhone 13 Mini also arrived, but we could not see a Mini device in the iPhone 14 series.
There will be no Mini model in the iPhone 15 series. Apple even ends the production of iPhone 13 Mini
As noted Apple analyst Mark Gurman, iPhone 13 mini stocks are running low and Apple’s online store in the US predicts shipping times of 2-3 weeks for some models and 6-8 weeks for others.
This shortage indicates that the iPhone 13 Mini may be discontinued after Apple’s Wonderlust event on Tuesday, where it will introduce the iPhone 15 family.
Apple didn’t release an iPhone 14 Mini model last year, but continued to offer the iPhone 13 Mini as a lower-cost option, starting at $599 in the US. (Currently the price in our country is 36.609 TL)
If you’ve been wanting to buy an iPhone 13 mini, now may be your last chance. Because it seems likely that Apple will stop production of the device after introducing the iPhone 15 series on Tuesday.
Apple’s new lineup will likely consist of the 6.1-inch iPhone 15, 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max and 4.7-inch iPhone SE.
While there initially seemed to be a pent-up demand for a smaller iPhone, actual data showed that the iPhone Mini had lower sales compared to other iPhone models. In April 2022, research firm CIRP reported that the iPhone 13 Mini would outsell total iPhone 13 sales in the US in the first quarter of that year. only 3% showed that he created it.
Customers looking to buy a small iPhone from Apple will have to settle for the entry-level iPhone SE, but even this device is said to be updated with a larger 6.1-inch display in the next year or two.
At least for now, Apple seems to have realized that small phones aren’t all that popular. What are you thinking? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
