I hope that's not true as that's the only model I would get if my SE(Gen1) crapped out.

I agree, I was looking further into it and read an article that the mini would be discontinued at the iPhone 14 level. As you know, these are just predictions from some "in the know," some are more reliable than others and not official Apple strategy.

I have been reading into it because I have an iPhone 11 pro max and could probably use a iPhone mini, it is very similar to the iPhone 5, which in my opinion, was probably the best all round iPhone out there.

I am of the opinion that they wont be difficult to get, to good a phone.

Agreed, that's why I'm still running an SE1(5 case with 6s internals) the best of the 5 size still supported.

I’ve got a 12 Pro now. No issues using wireless charging at all. The size is perfect for me…my eyes and fat fingers want a Max sized iPhone. Seems to big fit into my pocket…

Yep - and not looking forward to having to ‘upgrade’ to a brick at some point either.

Would happily pay double the price for the best tech in a smaller package.

Once a phone is too big to use on the go comfortably in one hand it’s too large.

I've got a 12 pro and am very happy with it. I've had none of the problems others have mentioned. I like the speed of the 12 pro; I don't use wireless charging or the camera. I upgraded from an iPhone X and haven't looked back.

I have the 12 mini. Great phone. Not sure I'd care if they discontinued it.

Just hope the 13??? or 14 have a small version like the mini down the road.

All these small phones are pretty small production numbers like the SE was. And the 12 mini is the same size as the 8 anyways, so it's not really all that mini.

It’s a bit smaller than the 8, it’s the only option for me atm.

I’m enjoying having the 12 Mini, find it’s the perfect size for taking out cycling with me and the camera is spot on. Would be a shame if they only did the larger phone sizes again in the future.

How is the 12 Mini perfect size for cycling..? Not sure I follow as any iPhone will fit in your rear pocket of your jersey anyways. I think the camera in the 12 pro max is also spot on too...IPAD will not fit in my rear jersey pocket but any of the iPhones should fit just fine..

I just like the size as it is not too bulky and I find the screen is big enough for me and is great for one handed use. That’s just me though - each to their own.
