Apple likely to say bye bye to iPhone mini in 2022, focus on bigger iPhones

iPhone 12 Mini saw poor sales since its launch and availability, in comparison to its bigger siblings. Analysts now predict that Apple might do away with the variant in its future iPhone lineups for the same reason.

A noted Apple analyst has revealed new information on the iPhone lineup that will mark its debut next year. Supposedly to be called iPhone 14, the series is now speculated to miss out on its smallest and most affordable offering - the iPhone 14 Mini. The new detail comes from renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. As per Kuo, Apple will launch the iPhone 13 Mini variant with the 5.4-inch display size this year. That, however, will be the last of its kind, as the tech major will discontinue the variant in the subsequent iPhone launches. The decision to end iPhone Mini’s journey is the poor sales that the iPhone 12 mini has seen in Apple's international markets. The speculation will fit even more so if the iPhone 13 Mini does not perform well either.
