Apple Continues to Sell iPhone 13 Mini at Lower $599 Starting Price

[MacRumors]

While the new iPhone 14 lineup does not include an iPhone 14 mini, Apple continues to sell the iPhone 13 mini, with pricing starting at a lower $599 in the United States. The device remains available with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage in several colors.

Apple has discontinued the iPhone 12 mini following its event today, but refurbished models remain available on Apple's online store for the time being. Apple's pricing for refurbished iPhone 12 mini models now starts at $439 in the United States for the 64GB model, which quickly ran out of stock but could return soon, compared to $529 yesterday.

It's likely that Apple will completely phase out the iPhone mini models by time the iPhone 15 launches, so consider purchasing one now if interested.

The new iPhone 14 lineup consists of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, leaving fans of smaller smartphones like the 5.4-inch mini model without a suitable option. Reports over the years indicated that the iPhone mini simply did not sell enough to receive another update.

This is the best news of the day for a lot of us.

Long live the iPhone Mini!

 

[98 others]

Now I'm going to upgrade from 12 mini to a 13 mini. I would have spent Pro money, for an iPhone 14 Mini Pro.

 

[NY Guitarist]

What was the price before it was lowered?

 

[SD449]

I was really confused with the pricing slide:

iPhone 12 from $599
iPhone 13 from $599
iPhone 14 from $799
iPhone 14 Pro from $999

Not to mention looking at the comparison of all 3 phone there is very little difference between the three.

 

[EnigmaticZee]

Awesome, I am gotta get one and keep using until Apple or any other manufacturer releases a small device (maximum 5'8")

 

[Return Zero]

Basically, the iPhone SE Pro.

 

[Sheepish-Lord]

I admit I was wrong, I didn’t think they would drop the price at all.

iPhone 14 is basically the iPhone 13 with one hour of more battery life and different colours.....I hope we do get mini again in the future, if Steve Jobs was alive today then we would have seen the iPhone 14 Pro Mini!

Mini is the perfect phone for me, hope there is a 15 or 16 mini.

At last iPhone, Mini is saved for now. It will be a heartbreaking day when it is discontinued.

Yessss

Long live the iPhone Mini!

🙌🏼

Same

An actually pocketable phone. Amazing how so many people think a monstrously sized 6+ inch phone is 'small'

Mini is literally everything I wanted in a phone. I really don't care about the pro features in a mini either. I would trade of "pro" features for a better battery life.

Exactly. It's something I'll never understand. Even 5'8 would have been okay but 6'1 to be normal is so downright abnormal to me.

 

[thadoggfather]

$599 for the 13 mini , and it still being offered, is GREAT ! imo

 

[doboy]

and still milk you extra $30 for unlocked version

It was almost guaranteed they would since they would be missing the mini size in the lineup

 

[Populus]

Here in Europe, iPhone 13 and 13 mini continue to be sold under the same exact prices as last year: 809€ for the mini, 909€ for the regular iPhone 13.

Then, iPhone 14 is a thousand euros.

yeah but its apple they giveth and taketh away all the time, and make occasional bizarre lineup decisions.

Yeah pricing is very confusing.

Over here in Ireland the 13 mini is still 829 and 13 is still 929

iPhone 12 is 829 and mini is unavailable

So all old models stayed at old price and new models increased in price - the iPhone 14 Pro is €1339 - an increase of €160 on 13 pro

Apple Watch Ultra is €999 in Europe.

Most frustratingly the Euro and Dollar are pretty much 1:1 so Apple are price gouging in Europe to keep the price down in the USA so they can say the iPhone 14 Pro price is “Still $999”

 

[_Spinn_]

Great news for all the Mini fans.

 

[webkit]

What was the price before it was lowered?

$100 higher than it is now.

 

[azentropy]

I admit I was wrong, I didn’t think they would drop the price at all.

Ditto, thought that maybe $50 at most. However I did think they would drop the stupid $30 non-carrier charge and they didn’t.

The price increases are really shocking. I really want the 14 Pro but it’s had a £150 price increase in the U.K. The 13 mini has had a £30 price drop from £679 to £649 which is pitiful tbh, but a good option for me now, and hopefully Amazon drops the price further.
