I haven’t bought a single mini because it’s always nerfed in some way. I don’t want to compromise for not being able to comfortably hold the expensive model.
As soon as Apple releases a mini model that’s on par with the rest of the flagship lineup, I imagine these metrics will tell a different story.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon.
You’re right. That one I was weak on my spec knowledge as I got the 12 and skipped that year. I do remember being disappointed in no 14 mini. If only they had kept going for one more generation they might’ve had a few more upgrade from a prior model :/
Yes thank you someone already pointed that out. I was mistaken about the 13 mini, admittedly because I had the 12 and skipped the 13.
Still, I was disappointed to see no 14 mini, and even more to see no mini at all this year. Additionally we had only 2 release cycles to buy/upgrade. IMO iPhones last so long it wasn’t even really enough time to know for sure if people liked them or not.

The 13 Mini wasn’t nerfed in any appreciable way, that I recall. Slightly worse battery life was the only downside
If they brought a mini pro version it would be a no brainer. I need telephoto and promotion and the island in a small package.
The ultra wide lens’s is such a bad camera in my opinion. I would have rather had telephoto.

The big advantage of the 13 Mini over the 12 Mini was the battery life was half decent
The 12 mini is decent, but my aging 2 year old battery needs to be swapped.
It wasn’t nerfed at all. It was exact same cup and camera and a slightly higher resolution display.
The battery was smaller because the phone was smaller, that was it.
