After countless reports that the iPhone 12 mini is selling poorly, it is now claimed that production of the small smartphone has ended.

The Taiwanese research company TrendForce Apple today declared in a new analysis that the iPhone 12 mini "reached end-of-life early" in the second quarter of 2021, suggesting Apple will focus on selling existing inventory of the device without producing additional units. Launched in October 2020, the iPhone 12 mini, with its 5.4-inch display, is aimed at fans of smaller smartphones.

iPhone mini: It will be over next year

Although production has reportedly been discontinued, the iPhone 12 mini is still available from Apple without any significant delivery delays. The device is offered in six colors, including a purple option that went on sale in late April. Despite the poor sales figures, analysts and leakers say a successor is due to appear. Ming-Chi Kuo has already stated that the iPhone 13 mini is expected this year. The 5.4-inch model, on the other hand, is not expected to be completely discontinued until next year - more about it hereThe iPhone 12 mini is available as part of Amazon Prime Day around 19 percent cheaper to buy.
