Fans of the compact iPhone mini smartphone can be disappointed. The insiders were competent and journalist Bloomberg Mark Gurman said Apple did not plan to return to release smaller models. This has been reported by the publication of Macrumors.
In the session of the questions and answers in the air, Gurman confirmed that the company did not plan to continue producing iPhone Mini.
Apple has stopped releasing iPhone 13 mini in September 2023 and since then there is no small model in the company's line. The expectations of the mini iPhone 17 output this year have not come true, and Gurman's statement, probably put the cross in the possible appearance of the mini iPhone 18 next year, with Apple's planning and development cycle.
After the third iPhone SE from production last month, Apple no longer offers new iPhone models with a screen below 6 inches. All models of iPhone 15 and iPhone 16, which Apple is currently selling, with 6.1 to 6.9 inch screen, while iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 13 Mini are equipped with a 5.4 -inch screen. The last iPhone SE has a 4.7 -inch screen, although with a thicker frame that increases the total size of the device.
Although there is a group of active customers who want to return the mini iPhone, according to marketing research, the smaller model is simply not selling enough for the company to continue providing it.
