14 DAY TRIAL // Apple launched the first iPhone mini back in the fall when it announced the new iPhone 12 family, and information that’s making the headlines these days indicate the device would receive a series of welcome updates for 2021, including a smaller notch.
In other words, the iPhone 13 generation could be the first one to benefit from a smaller notch, a change that we’ve kept hearing about but which is yet to happen.
Renders published by Svetapple show the new iPhone 13 mini with the smaller notch and upgraded cameras, with the device envisioned in the shiny red finish that makes it quite a looker.
Last mini?
While the iPhone mini is still a new product, as it was officially unveiled last fall, it looks like Apple is already considering giving up on it completely.
Earlier this year, people familiar with the matter revealed that sales of the iPhone 12 mini failed to meet Apple’s expectations, and as a result, the company was adjusting its production output at suppliers.
Apple therefore ordered fewer iPhone minis and more Pro models, all in an attempt to align the production with the demand.
The same sources indicated that Apple could give up on the mini entirely as soon as this year, especially because a new iPhone SE was supposed to land in the spring.
But now the plan has changed a bit and a new iPhone mini is projected to go live in the fall alongside the new iPhone 13 models, but once again, it’s believed this could be the last 5.4-inch iPhone to see the daylight. Apple’s next-next iPhone lineup will include only 6.1 and 6.7-inch iPhones, with the iPhone mini to be replaced by a new iPhone SE that could see the daylight in the spring of the next year.
