I am not moaning or whining, but I actually did buy a 13 Mini and I still have it. It is the best iPhone I ever bought. I hope to get another 2 years out of it.
Got a tip for us?

my 13 mini can be completely hidden/covered by my 3rd gen SE.
if you think the SE is smaller (or 'mini').. you dont know what youre talking about. the screen dimensions arent what people care about when they say they want a new mini. we want a -small- device you can use with one hand and easily slips in a pocket.
the current SE is not that. gen 1 se was perfection.
its not about the screen, we want physically small devices. the SE is NOT smaller than the mini.
I know that - my backup is a Mini. And the screen is physically larger than the SE's while the chassis is physically smaller.
here we go again w the mini stans thinking the general public actually agree with them
why did yall let the iphone mini flop into oblivion?

not true, im holding on to my mini
the plebs let it die, thinking they needed ipad mini sized phones.
the vocal mini lovers all own minis, youre preaching to the choir
plenty of people comment on my 12 mini. anyone with a brain is trying to move away from using their phone. plus the mini and the SE were both niche products, so why not combine them?
I remember the 12 selling well, which makes me suspect that for whatever reason, mini buyers are folks who like to hold on their device for a bit. Pragmatic people you might say.
What is it with the Mini hate? Comes out of nowhere and is completely unjustifiable. Some people really do not like others expressing their opinions
+1. I often look at my 13 mini and I know it’s the best iPhone I have ever bought - it’s just perfect for me.
Yet people whine about minis every time they get a chance.
No one really cares it just annoying hearing about it all the time when Apple has been pretty clear it isn't coming back.
Speculating the Apple would using the A18 over the A17 here. The A18 uses the newer 3nm node and the A17 uses the older 3nm node. My educated guess is that Apple skipped the M3 in some Macs because the older 3nm node was only meant to be temporary to the true newer 3nm node and that Apple wants to get to the newer node as quickly as possible to save money.
I use my phone all day, so why would I want a 2007-sized phone? I’ve been debating if it’s finally time to make the jump to the max.
Not sure what you get out of this. Other people have other opinions. Often they don't align with your own.
no one is whining, we PRAISE the mini. you got it backwards
🤣 the mini flopped to oblivion bc no one wanted it except for like 4 ppl on macrumors
Wish they still made a mini - not for me but mum likes small phones. Will hold out until this one releases
(Sips tea)
Whatever they release will be my mother’s birthday gift in May. She has the 2020 SE.
Battery already needs service.

I have said this previously but it deserves repeating. The whole concept of the Apple SE phone is to make a cheaper iPhone based on the current processor and scavenging most other parts from all the iPhones that are still in production. The whole concept is to reduce costs by maximizing the use of EXISTING parts. A 6.1 display is the smallest iPhone display still in production so that’s what the new SE4 gets.
Smaller, thinner, touch ID - none of that is in the current iPhone production line so it’s not going to get into a new SE 4 model. Apple is not going to keep parts in production just for an SE iPhone.
