I bought a 13mini yesterday based on rumors that it would be discontinued today.

Was waiting to see if they had a new mini, and obviously they do not so glad I grabbed it.

Xs, 13, 14, 15, it’s all the same to me except a mini feels so much easier to handle.



I recently switched from android to the iphone ecosystem; I had a 3a and then a 4a, and recently updated to a 7a, but it never really clicked with me -- just too big.

Got a 13 mini; I kinda don't like a bunch of aspects of the iphone ecosystem, but the mini form factor is really perfect.

Very much too bad that it's now dead.


I liked my 11 Pro before the mini, but if I'm going to go back to a non-mini phone I'll have to toss some of my jeans, whose pockets are too small for non-mini phones. I do find typing on the 11 Pro to be easier than on the mini, since the keyboard is wider. But I love to swipe-type on the mini.


I was waiting for a price drop today, and instead they just stopped selling it entirely. I wish I'd heard those same rumors. :(


You can probably find it for awhile "in the channels", i.e. 3rd party retailers like cell-phone stores for a little bit longer until their stock is depleted.
