I haven’t bought a single mini because it’s always nerfed in some way. I don’t want to compromise for not being able to comfortably hold the expensive model.
As soon as Apple releases a mini model that’s on par with the rest of the flagship lineup, I imagine these metrics will tell a different story.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon.
The 13 Mini wasn’t nerfed in any appreciable way, that I recall. Slightly worse battery life was the only downside
If they brought a mini pro version it would be a no brainer. I need telephoto and promotion and the island in a small package.
You’re right. That one I was weak on my spec knowledge as I got the 12 and skipped that year. I do remember being disappointed in no 14 mini. If only they had kept going for one more generation they might’ve had a few more upgrade from a prior model :/
The big advantage of the 13 Mini over the 12 Mini was the battery life was half decent
Yes thank you someone already pointed that out. I was mistaken about the 13 mini, admittedly because I had the 12 and skipped the 13.
Still, I was disappointed to see no 14 mini, and even more to see no mini at all this year. Additionally we had only 2 release cycles to buy/upgrade. IMO iPhones last so long it wasn’t even really enough time to know for sure if people liked them or not.
