False. The Mini phones were never bought in large enough numbers to actually make it worthwhile to Apple to keep making them. Even the Zenfone left the small phone era behind, and I don't believe Samsung makes any small phones these days either, even in their various smartphone ranges. Clearly the Plus models sell enough for Apple to keep them around.What purpose some the iPhone Plus serve? If someone is willing to pay for the Plus they can pay for a Max. There is clearly a market for the Mini and the Plus seems redundant.
