My mini 12 is holding on for dear life. I’ve been tempted to replace the battery, but holding out for this update to see… but the size of the mini is unbeatable.
It will be four years since the last mini phone when the 17 series presumably comes out next year. Putting the mini on a 4 year refresh like the SE makes sense. That’s about how often I’d replace my phone. Come on, you can do it Tim Apple, give the little people what they want!
Maybe, though it’s shitty that we got two years, then four more. I held out since the iPhone 7 for the 12 mini, but I feel like 4 years is a good run and I’d like to upgrade this year. I also feel like if they keep the S.E. line going then every other year is better. 4 years feels rough for people looking to purchase in the second half of that cycle.
The form factors have already leaked out, like they usually do when manufacturing starts. It looks like there is no Mini.
If you really want to keep that small form factor, I would replace the battery or upgrade to a 13 mini.
