Why would the profit on the mini be different than the 12 standard? They all have the same componentry. There is insignificant marginal savings on materials cost. Why would they love the mini buyers any more than the 12, 12 pro, 12 pro max?
I’m a Mini owner and I’m not going to be out here worrying about why others don’t like it, or why it wouldn’t fit their use cases. It works for me and that’s all I care about. There’s an option for everyone.
I agree completely. I just bought my wife a mini for Christmas, her first smart phone (she does have a iPad Pro). She is a minimalist. The mini is perfect for her. She wont be gaming, surfing, checking emails etc. She uses her iPad for all of that. I am finally getting a Pro (maybe a Max). I have never had an iPhone but have using macs at home since my first PowerBook 140. She would never let me drop 1k or more on a phone... thankfully my boss is getting me one
This iPhone 12 line up is the best and smartest I've seen to date. Your mileage may vary
