With all the rage being for larger sized smartphones, I’d like to think Apple expected sales of the iPhone 12 mini to be somewhat low.
Excellent point and I’m in agreement with you...Annie_M;[URL="tel:3238210" said:3238210[/URL]].... if Apple hadn’t released the SE earlier in 2020, the number of iPhone 12 Mini sold would most probably be greater.
Mini is my dream phone came true. Small, compact, square side, glass finished ... as my 1st iphone 5
Since I upgraded to ip7 5 years ago, newer iphone with full screen, some potrait ability on cam, faster chip, animoji, only did a little “wish to have” for me. But with a new somewhat old design, it peaked my interest.
If apple lower the price a little bit, maybe the sales will be better. With $100 diff, people who wants smaller phone would still concern with the battery capacity and choose ip12 over mini. If only, maybe $150 cheaper, people will accept smaller battery compensated by the lower price
I believe the issue you have mentioned is rather exaggerated. Here is basically why: 'Nothing has changed. The only thing that is different now is that it says Battery Health – Service. Yes, actually, it does not necessarily need service. It just means: “I do not detect the original battery.”' https://appleworld.today/2020/12/19/opinion-getting-back-to-the-iphone-battery-service-issue/ Sorry if that is too straightforward, I do not mean to be rudeI love iPhones, and I love compact phones. However, I stick to older models as I am a bit over-cautious person, and here is what I have learnt on latest 'novelties' in iOS: "When installing a third-party battery, or a genuine replacement, outside of Apple's authorized repair network, the latest version of iOS displays a new "Service" battery message in the Settings menu that suggests the cell has an undiagnosed problem, disallowing users from accessing Battery Health information." I guess this might cause a major drop in iPhone sales, mini is no exception. Source: https://appleinsider.com/articles/1...-pushes-consumers-toward-official-replacement:raised-eyebrow:
