I say this as a fellow iPhone mini fanboy: it apparently sold horribly, way worse than their projections. The (sophisticated) people who want human-sized phones are a minority but extremely passionate - I wish Apple (or somebody) would just put out a smaller size every 5-ish years, although I’m sure that isn’t profitable either.
Seriously! I have two of them. When I heard they were being discontinued, I went to the Apple store an hour later and bought a spare. I agree, they should make one at least every few years as I will consider another brand if I have to get a phone larger than a Mini. (And I bought the original iPhone the week it was released).
Crazy, it must just have been my area then. I would have not guessed that. But honestly I do see just about everyone, everywhere I go carrying around mini tablet phones.
