Blue 64GB iPhone 12 mini

Same. As a big fan of the 1st gen SE, so happy to go back to a smaller form factor/1 hand use... coming from an 11 Pro, it's nice that I will sacrifice just a bit of screen space to get something much more ergonomic (both size/weight).

Debated on going up in storage for only $50, but I only use half the storage on my Pro.
 
So I didn’t order one today but do y’all think there will be some available for walk up customers on the 13th at my local apple store?

Product Red 256GB Mini. I hardly use the storage space, but for future resale, it's better to just get the larger storage size, iMO.

There were plenty for the 12 just two days after launch. This was Danbury CT and Albany NY.

Does that really translate to the sale? Looking at Keepa it doesn't seem to, but I haven't sold an iPhone before, just done trade-ins. If I thought it did I would have gone up to 128, if for instance, I could get more than $50 back in the sale in a year down the road.

Maybe, Maybe not. I have no idea. I would like to believe that people go for higher storage in the long run then having an iPhone that has less, though with everything being icloud backed up and easily retrieved, etc., maybe the max storage isn't as worth it to most?
 
The mini seems to be still available for 11/13 in all colors and configurations. I guess demand isn't that strong after all, unfortunately for us small-phone lovers.

Hmm that’s odd. Figured they would’ve already slipped by now. Yeah I guess not!

Ming Chin Kuo said 12 Mini may sold not as he would expect, about 15%
Because smaller phones aren't so popular and China market targets bigger phone size

64 GB vs 128 GB

64 GB isnt' too light nowadays?
Depends on what you do. I'm not real video or music heavy and I'm fine streaming or having my data on iCloud. I'm currently using about 34gb on my iPhone 2020 SE. However since it was "only" $50 more for 128GB I went with that just in case. If it was $100 more I would have stuck with 64GB.
 
Wonder if demand isn't that high or Apple has just increased supply to meet the demand.

Hopefully they keep the Mini option in the line ups and offer a Pro version one day.

Rumors already talking about iPhone 13 being offered in the same 4 models as the 12.
 
Ordered and got email confirmation but order does not show up on the app and when clicking on the email order it opens the app and shows an error. Anyone else?

Most people in the world prefer larger displays. It’s not surprising the iPhone 12 mini remains available for launch day delivery.
