It was announced in October and people were pretty excited about it.\u00a0Yet sales haven\u2019t supported this, with figures suggesting the 12 mini accounted for only <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/heres-why-apple-wont-be-disappointed-by-poor-iphone-12-mini-sales\/\">6% of Apple\u2019s purchased iPhones in October and November<\/a>.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> world (and the world in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>) is incredibly male-centric \u2014 and phones are an extension of this. On average, women have smaller hands then men, so the recent trend of devices getting bigger and bigger has made phones harder to use (this is something\u00a0Caroline Criado Perez explores in her wonderful book, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/41104077-invisible-women\"><em>Invisible Women<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Smaller phones then are not just useful for anyone not wanting a brick in their pocket, they\u2019re also a way of making devices work for\u00a0<em>everyone.\u00a0<\/em>And, whether or not Apple had this in mind, the outcome is something we should do our best to protect.<\/p>\n<p>The question then is this\u2026 what went wrong with the iPhone 12 mini that the iPhone 13 mini can solve?<\/p>\n<p>I think there are two main answers to this question. The first, brand recognition, will happen naturally. The second issue is also easily fixable: the iPhone SE.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-featured_img wp-image-1339115 lazy\" alt=\"iPhone 12 Mini vs iPhone-SE\" width=\"796\" height=\"447\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE-796x447.png\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE-796x447.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE-280x157.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE-481x270.png 481w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE-241x135.png 241w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE.png 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/iPhone-12-Mini-vs-iPhone-SE-1200x675.png 1200w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2021\/02\/16\/apple-iphone-13-mini-rumor-analysis\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F02%2F16%2Fapple-iphone-13-mini-rumor-analysis%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: A comparison of the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone SE.\" data-title=\"Share A comparison of the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone SE. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share A comparison of the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone SE. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>A comparison of the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone SE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple released the newest iPhone SE in April of last year, only seven months before the announcement of iPhone 12 mini. While the SE isn\u2019t as powerful as its counterpart, it is substantially cheaper ($399 to $699) and fulfils the same \u201csmall phone\u201d itch that many have.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to look at the timing of both these devices\u2019 launches and come to the conclusion the SE\u00a0<em>didn\u2019t\u00a0<\/em>cannibalize the mini\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, Apple has learned from this experience and won\u2019t launch a much cheaper device that\u2019s roughly the same size just before the iPhone 13 mini. Unless it really doesn\u2019t give a shit, which I would respect in a Nietzschean kinda way.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s that. Apple may or may not release an iPhone 13 mini.
