I haven’t seen any statistics on it, but do you guys also feel that way more men than women seem to be using the Mini? I know that many guys also like bigger screen phones, but there seems to be a bigger imbalance when it comes to the Mini... I don’t know if women are more into social media and such, and therefore prefer a larger screen, but from my own limited personal experience it does seem like that might be the case... My wife recently told me that she prefers her iPhone X to my 12 Mini just for the increased screen size alone. Guess us Mini fans are in the minority 🤷‍♂️
Completely anecdotal ofc but every woman I know has a plus or max model. Pocketability isn’t an issue when you have a handbag.

My 18 year old daughter and her friends do, i didn't have to look far. You must be hanging around oldies with handbags.
Im a professional fashion/glamour photographer. I hang out with 18-24 year old models. So you'd be dead wrong. Most every one of them have expensive designer handbags/clutches etc... they carry their belongings as well as their phones in. They certainly aren't stuffing them in pockets lol

This thread actually I spired me to go grab one. I love it! It’s an adjustment coming down from the 12 pro Max. But it’s lovely to use a phone with one hand again and my pocket not have a brick in it!
Exactly. I don't miss my Pro Max at all really.

I really hope they bring an iPhone 13 Mini Pro to the market with equivalent internals to the top of the line but with the smaller form factor. I'd buy that immediately. Doubtful but would be the perfect phone imo.

Might be technically tricky, as mini physically might not have enough space to accommodate all this “pro” stuff?
 
Blue mini owner right here. I have large hands too but just enjoy a smaller/lite, flagship device like this. Women mostly go for the bigger screen devices because they are more likely to be on alot of social media sites and watch a lot more videos than your average guy. I work in a hospital and wear scrubs and this device is the truth for those pockets. I have had bigger phones and I'm tired of the heft and awkward carrying of big devices.

I completely agree with you: my mini fits very well in each pockets of my scrub or white coat and it’s so light that is like don’t have it!

Half way between the Mini and Pro would probably be a perfect size for me.
Someone with the same problem - size. I love my mini and haven’t seen those issues you have described. But having mini a little bit bigger would be perfect for me.
 
Its called X/XS/11 Pro^^
It was little too big and heavy for me, i re-switched to SE until 12 Mini
If i had no choice, yes i would go on 11 Pro size but 12 Mini came at the right time
I guess we wont see anything like 11 Pro size anymore, people enjoy 12/12 Pro size and compact users got the 12 Mini
Everyone seems to be happy this year!

I have 12 mini too 128gb in blue. I was like wow screen so much bigger (previous iPhone 8) and device so small (compare dad new iPhone 11)!

I need iPhone fit my pocket since I rely on vibration let me know notifications. I was holding out iPhone 8 long as possible and was expecting to hold it another year and was happy mini came out.
