Why Apple's 'iPhone Mini' Is Likely a Thing of the Past

Summary Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple has no plans to release a new 'iPhone mini' device, effectively discontinuing the smaller form factor. The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini were popular among a vocal minority of users, but Apple has shifted its focus to larger screens, starting with the iPhone 14 Plus in 2022. The iPhone 13 mini was eventually discontinued in 2023. Future plans include an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus. Despite some user demand for smaller iPhones, Apple seems committed to larger screen sizes.
