With the official launch of the new iPhone 13 series, rumors have quickly shifted to the next-generation iPhone 14. Recently, Jon Prosser, who runs the well-known FPT technology channel of YouTube, revealed the big news in a tweet that the iPhone 13 mini may be the last mini iPhone. It is speculated that the Cupertino technology giant has decided to cut off the iPhone 14 mini product line next year due to consumers’ indifferent response to the iPhone 12 mini.
First of all, as a brand new, compact, and affordable iPhone model that debuted with the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 mini is very attractive to consumers who love the grip. Secondly, compared with the iPhone 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max, Apple has effectively lowered the entry barrier for the new iPhone through the iPhone 12 mini. Regrettably, the sales of the iPhone 12 mini are far from reaching Apple’s expectations. This is also the main reason why Jon Prosser emphasized that the iPhone 13 mini will be Apple’s last mini iPhone.
Reminder:
The iPhone 13 mini is THE LAST “mini” iPhone.
There will not be a 14 mini next year.
So if you’ve been thinking about trying the mini, the 13 mini is your last chance.
With that said… I did not purchase the iPhone 13 mini 😂☠️

With the release of the iPhone 13 series of smartphones, the same concept has also continued to the iPhone 13 mini. But considering that Jon Prosser has a fairly reliable history of breaking news, we are likely to bid farewell to the iPhone 14 mini in 2022. In fact, based on the sales data of the iPhone 12 mini, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made the same prediction in June this year. As for whether the iPhone 13 mini can pull it, it depends on the follow-up statistics.
Finally, Guo Mingchi guessed that Apple will still launch four iPhone 14 series models in 2022, and it is expected that both high-end and low-end product lines will have 6.1/6.7-inch screens.
