...do you claim about the company that still makes & sells iPod touches (only updated less than two years ago).

Its a new product, it needs a bit more time to fully see its potential. If they make a Pro mini next year, that is the phone I will get. I got my better half a 12 mini and I LOVE IT.
No, I wanted a mini size at mini price !
Just a smaller iPhone with upgraded processor, decent LCD screen and basic, but decent enough camera like the SE.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
The dictionary defines "business" as "a person, partnership, or corporation engaged in commerce, manufacturing, or a service; profit-seeking enterprise or concern."
Traded in my 11 max for a mini and love it. Finally a phone that fits in my pocket and is easy to carry around.
Exactly why I got rid of my 11 pro max for the mini. I realized that I didn't end up using the extra features and got sick and tired of lugging around a massive phone. I also use my ipad and imac and AppleTV for the majority of my media consumption.

Take a picture of your mini and put it aside. It may be the only mini you can put in your pocket after this year.
That’s an interesting point but I think most customers aren’t likely to change ecosystems if they don’t have to.
Cut it to $649 and increase the battery capacity and then come tell me what the 'market thinks'.
Everyone I know who has a mini absolutely loves it. So while it might be selling just 5%, the overall satisfaction is probably extremely high.
Haven’t seen anyone with one — of course I’m not out much. But there’s been little to no Apple promotion of the phone since its release.
Assuming the negative reviews of the battery life probably deterred some buyers.

If you think a 5.4 inch display is "stamp" sized, you should get your eyes checked immediately
That’s correct. Apple wants you to spend you money with them. If you don’t they don’t much care about you.
or maybe this post went over head.
I only buy phones every 4 years so had I not just bought the SE in my pursuit to get a smaller phone I'd have this in a heartbeat. Apple can't expect people to just instantly drop money like good consumer suckers the first year they release a new line.
The 12 mini is my favorite iPhone ever and it’s not even close. I’ve had a 4s, 5s, 7, and X in the past and this is the combination of the 5s size and the full-screen of the X that I had been waiting for for 3 years. And though I thought it might be silly, the 12 mini with Apple’s magnetic wallet is a perfect pair. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s kind of dumb on a larger phone, but it works out great since the wallet is the exact size of the 12 mini.
I always love iPhones, but I’ve used blackberry z10 in the past and my thought was my God, this could be a great iphone in term of size and the gesture navigation. I wished the z10’s gesture was on iPhones back then. So technically I was waiting for this iPhone 12 mini since 2013 january when z10 launched.
8 years later here I am with the mini. I love it so much and I hope apple won’t cancel this lineup next year.
