I have tried my best holding on to this device and I still love Mini, I would buy again in a heartbeat but now the battery issues and phone slowing down has become a regular issue with me so I have decided to finally upgrade to 17 Pro until next mini comes either from Apple or anyone else. Who else is leaving their minis behind in September?
 
Already left my Mini behind sadly but only new form factors interest me these days like the supposed Air model. Another heavier and presumably bigger Pro model is incredibly boring.

I honestly don't think there will ever be another mini... There just isn't much of a market for it anymore.
 
Was a mini owner for 3 years. Loved it and didn’t like the bigger phones whenever i tried them.
But finally got a pro after i killed the screen.
And honestly after half a year of pro I switched to a max:)
Yes we can adapt
 
Was using my 12/13 Minis as my daily drivers and still have them as part of my collection. Got the 15 Pro just after release as it is the smallest iPhone after the Mini (and for USB C). Will likely get the 17 Pro when its released like the OP.

I had a 12 Mini for 2 years, and the day they didn't announce a 14 Mini, I went straight to the Apple Store and got a 13 Mini, which I've had for almost 3 years now. I'll most likely upgrade to a 17 Pro next, which will complete the switch to USB-C for all devices. My wife has been a 13 mini user for almost 4 years, and she's upgrading to a 17 Pro for better cameras. We're both going to miss the Mini size.
 
I have a 15pro, broke it and grabbed my mini, not going back to the pro. I'll probably go to the 17 air or something but I just don't want the bulk.

My 12 Mini will be 6 years old in early 2026. Love the phone.
But plan to replace it in January with either a 16e, 17, or 17 air.

Click to expand...

My 13 mini has no slowdown and the Apple battery can last up to 53 hours from 100 to 20% without power saving mode.

- Backup / Reboot / restore
- Apple Battery Replacement
- Disable 5G, Background Processing and More Battery Optimization
- Stay away from Facebook, instagram, tiktok and other cheat.

The 13 mini will be supported for several more years.
I'd rather wait for a new mini and otherwise go towards the foldable iphone why not.

If you love the size of the mini you could just replace the battery and wait for the big phone fashion to disappear. 🙂

The Pro's are still heavy bricks. I have a 16 pro, but 2-3 times a year I switch back to my 13 Mini (with newer battery). I don't see slowdowns on 18.5, and it does 95% of what the pro does. I will check out the new 17 Air, but IF it weighs 6+ oz, I'll pass.

For the first time I might NOT upgrade my 16PM and wait for the 18PM. We will see but right now the only major changes I see is software updates and little to no hardware updates.
 
I've currently got a 15 Pro and I think I'll look to pick up a 17/17 Air. My main sell for the Pro is the 120hz screen, which I'm hoping will be on the 17/17 Air!
 
My mum 8 plus needs upgrade. I’m considering to give her my 14 PM and buy a new 17 pro for me: I have to evaluate with new price with new duties in Europe.
