Indeed, fully agree - give me A16 APU + Dynamic Island on an iPhone 14 Mini with Macro and Wide Lens with portrait capbility and that would ROCK!
Also: Sadly, there’s no physical space for Dynamic Island and the three cameras, with the quality of the Pro lenses, inside the iPhone mini form factor. Or, at least, it would be insanely difficult to engineer it.

I like day-dreaming too! But sometimes we need a reality check.

I don’t see why the dynamic island camera cannot live on the mini where the proximity sensor is under the screen. More significant than the iPhone Pro having eSIM in the USA, ridding the nanoSIM slot would significantly improve internal space for the mini in its currently hardware dimensions.
 
What is going on with the iPhone Mini 13 ??? I ordered one on the the 15th September (in Australia) at Amazon. It said it was backordered so I expected just a little delay as it was available at the Apple Store. Now it's the 23rd October and still not even a mention of a delivery date. It seems like all retailers in Australia - Officeworks, JB HIFI, Amazon and the big mobile companies are sold out and have no idea when the phone will be available.

I haven't seen any reports of the phone beeing so short in supply or having massive delays. So annoying. The 14th are easy to get and are everywhere ... but I want a mini !!!

Have you tried with your carrier?

They are also sold out at Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. You can get it same day at the Apple store - but it seems Apple does not supply the phone to carriers or 3rd party stores at the moment in Australia. It's now over 6 weeks like this ! Seems like something is really not working and no reports anywhere.

A terrible predicament/situation unfortunately.

I had thought the same here in Canada and the week after confirmation of my returned 14P with my carrier I only saw 2 colours in the 512GB listed. 2weeks later I took the plunge for Starlight and the entire 1.5wks it took to arrive boom all colour variants at 512GB was back in stock at my carrier (top 3 carriers in Canada).

Since you’re una. Continent on your own it’s probably shipping or air freight delays (fingers crossed). I’d guess any calls to carriers or Apple retail don’t have info of restock either.

Next try reputable sellers on these forums in marketplace?
