Apple made a miniature version of the iPhone 12, and we’re wondering whether we will see one in the iPhone 13 lineup.
Apple surprised many of us in 2020 with the introduction of the iPhone 12 mini as a fourth variant of its traditional flagship handsets alongside the standard iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Will an iPhone 13 mini happen in 2021 alongside the iPhone 13? Nothing is certain yet, but here we’ll be taking a look at all of the leaks and rumors so far around the smaller iPhone. Apple hasn’t revealed an official breakdown of its sales figures for the iPhone 12 series, but multiple reports from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners has suggested the iPhone 12 mini was the least popular model. In fact, it’s apparently the least popular by some distance. According to these figures, the iPhone 12 mini accounted for less than 5% of total iPhone sales from December 2020 to March 2021. The iPhone 12 had around 20%, and the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max were both just behind that stat. The rest of the percentage is made up of older iPhone models that Apple continues to sell, such as the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE. Exact sales numbers will likely never be revealed directly by Apple, but the general consensus is that the iPhone 12 mini wasn’t a big driver of sales for Apple.
