Was thinking the same. Far too many options. But probably doing so to help get rid of inventory.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Discontinues 5.4-Inch iPhone 13 Mini, Still Sells iPhone 13 and iPhone 14

Farewell mini - bit of a bummer they didn't keep available with the other 13 models.
Nothing more than a trivia question in terms of practical real world usage.
Sadly I’m down to 90% here. I didn’t charge well in the beginning. I just hope that they continue to support battery replacements.

I’ll never love another iPhone as much as I loved my 12 mini. Everybody I know who had one (all three people) loved theirs too. FWIW I’m 5’9”, and these other friends are taller than me — it’s not like we’re tiny people with tiny hands.

That would be great way to sell me an Android phone.

Will definitely hold onto mine for the next few years hopefully. So glad on day 1, I returned my 256gb and got the 512gb for future proofing. Here's to hoping the next SE is in the 12/13 mini's form.

They cater to what sells, if the mini sold well, they wouldn't be ending it.

Apple has officially discontinued phones and will now only be selling phablets.

Should have bought one today. They haven't disappeared from Apple Stores, but they're $100 less now.

What a big disappointment. It's absurd they are selling the SE 3 but not the Mini!
My 13 mini should last for 1 or 2 more years, but then what?
The sales of the Plus size models are also low, it has been a failure.
Still don't understand how people use such large phones, I am sure they will love it if Apple released a phone as big as the iPad mini.

6GB iPhone 14 vs. 4GB RAM iPhone 13 has practical real world benefits.

Nope cant see them on the UK store brand new, although there are refurbs of the 12 mini though.
My guess is that the 13 Mini was discontinued because Apple will quietly introduce a small phone by mid next year to replace the SE.
Hopefully with a similar design

At least this frees me from being tempted by new iPhone releases.
