I just checked Apple’s site and the blue mini in 128 & 256 is still available for 11.13 delivery. Wow

Ordered a mini (well 2 actually- black and blue) as undecided on the colour. With the intention of retuning my 12 Pro...
Have now asked them to cancel the minis (as they are already PFS) and decided to keep my 12 Pro.
This has been a difficult choice between the mini and Pro. Am sure if I had held the mini in person I would have been swayed, but the 12 Pro specs just suit my needs better, and I prefer the premium finish. Unfortunately, it’s still a mostly 2-handed device for me as I don’t have big hands.
Really hope next year there is a mini Pro version. Enjoy your minis everyone- am sure I’ll be a little envious once they’re in everyone’s hands! Haha

My order shipped, and I have a tracking number already through UPS My Choice.
Perfect size 😍 unlike the 12 pro which feels like a brick to hold.
If you look at the poll on here, its not really surprising as us Mini buyers seem to be in the minority.
I didn’t realize there was a poll. I may have seen its briefly and forgot. I wouldn’t be surprised that people who don’t want to carry a suitcase sized phone around are in the minority.
The 64GB mini is still available for 11/13 delivery or in-store pickup in the Chicago area. I notice that even most models of the 12 Pro Max (except Pacific Blue) are still available for in-store pickup on 11/13, though delivery seems to have slipped to late November. Meanwhile the regular 12 is readily available, but the 12 Pro (not Max) is showing December ship dates. It’s hard to tell from initial pre-sales, but perhaps Apple assumed demand would be lower for the Max and mini, and pushed the release date later for that reason.
Or, maybe, they had an three additional weeks for mass production. It’s entirely possible volume wasn’t quite where they wanted it three weeks ago but it’s greater then they anticipated now. And don’t forget that a ton of people likely settled for what they wanted to pre-order three weeks ago.
Moving forward, for folks who don’t pay attention to pre-ordering, the Mini is going to be an insanely popular option.

I am very puzzled that the mini didn't sell out from pre order.
My theory is that it costs too much.
but that's supply and demand equity, I guess! 😂 haha
I think it will be a big seller during Christmas time.

Agreed, people are probably waiting for christmas or to see if third party sellers offer any black friday deals - it's not far away now.
I do also think the fact that it didn't launch at the same time as the regular 12 pushed people who couldn't/wouldn't wait towards the larger device.
Perhaps there is simply more produced of the Mini which is why they haven't sold out or been pushed back as much shipping wise as other models this year.
But this time the 12 mini has identical features to the main 12, so the $699 price is actually not that bad. My guess is that Apple underestimated demand for the 12 Pro relative to the base 12 and 12 mini. What’s interesting is that the 12 Pro Max is also still available for 11/13 in-store pickup. That said, perhaps COVID-19 fears are keeping people away from in-store pickup.

Plenty of stock available here. No reason to stress it, I have decided to await reviews and decide on color. I still haven't been able to find the black or white iPhone 12s in store, and I'm still struggling deciding between the two.
Thanks, it appears they are in fact available in my country, I just can’t find them when I search for products sold by Apple.Apple Leather Case with MagSafe (for iPhone 12 mini) - Baltic Blue

Too bad they are full retail price here on Amazon, wish I could save some bucks on that expensive case.

too expensive, only $150AD more here for a 12.
Did you ever stop to think that some people might want a smaller phone regardless of what the price is?
12 mini case next to the original SE and the SE inside, and also the 6s.
The 12 mini case is small when I first held the case, but after comparison, I’m still intrigued, it just will be about the battery life for me.
The 6s has a little more width but overall its the same size as the case, but not so much the inside.
oh 12 mini Black 64gb
