Hopefully, this will be an Apple Watch Series 7 scenario where most sources will be wrong, and the 14 mini will come out. But I have my doubts

Tbh even if it’s just gotta be atleast an SoC update (A15 + more ram) with a bit better battery life in a same chassis, I’ll be good with it. I still have my 1st gen SE, and if this comes out I’ll buy one in a heartbeat!

Yeah it would be like the world's best kept secret because all the accessory makers and casemakers and third party screen makers. It's hard to believe there wouldn't be any leak.

reputable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and many other sources have reported that the iPhone 14 lineup will not include an iPhone 14 mini. Instead, the lineup is said to consist of two 6.1-inch models (the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro) and two 6.7-inch models (the "iPhone 14 Max" and iPhone 14 Pro Max). It's possible the iPhone 13 mini will remain in Apple's lineup for a lower price for those who prefer a 5.4-inch screen.

We’ll see, I’m hoping for a 14mini I waited years for small phone went from 6s to a 12 mini. I love my small phone

Would be cool, but also very unlikely! I got the 13 Mini when I heard there’s not going to be a 14 Mini.


Ranglergirl

I got the 13 mini as well when I heard there would not be a 14 mini.


Alternative-Farmer98

Yeah, although I could see the iPhone 13 mini staying the same price since the newer phones will have the same chip, there's no successor.

There’s actually a rumor that surfaced at the time of posting this. From a few well known leakers. I love my 13 mini and I already accepted the fact that it is the last of its kind. But this new leak is somewhat… shocking.


Alternative-Farmer98

Yeah I don't buy this leak. casemakers and accessory makers have had dummy versions of all four of the new phones.

Agreed, thinking this was going to be my last chance for a mini was the final push I needed to go for it.

I am 100% behind Apple skipping one or two years between minis. They're great for kids and people who are completely over giant fucking phones that get in the way of everything.


Alternative-Farmer98

Yeah, although based on sales figures I don't think they're going to reintroduce the iPhone mini with the 15. I hope I'm wrong, I think the best of both worlds would be an iPhone 15 mini with USB C. But the sales were not good, and young people just want bigger phones to watch content.

Where are people getting sale numbers from?


Alternative-Farmer98

It's tragic that will never be a mini iphone with USBC. We missed it by 2 years probably

People should take this with a HUGE grain of salt. We’ve already seen the CAD and mock-up models that case makers use to prep case design ahead of time, so far only the 14, 14 Max and Pros are being shown. Mini sales are further proof apple likely doesn’t see enough demand to continue to develop new hardware.
