There are only hours left for the “Wonderlust” event, where US-based technology giant Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 series. All consumers will have the opportunity to meet Apple’s newest products as of tomorrow evening. Thus, a new era will officially begin for Apple. However, the latest news reveals that Apple may pull the plug on some products as of September 12, 2023.
According to the latest statements made by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, the model named iPhone 13 mini, which Apple introduced in 2021, has now reached the end of the road. Therefore, we can say that “iPhone mini” will be history. iPhone 13 mini stocks have dropped to critical levels in some countries such as the USA. In fact, in some variants, the estimated delivery time is extended up to 8 weeks. Moreover, Gurman says that iPhone 13 mini production may be stopped after tomorrow. The experienced analyst may not be wrong.
It wouldn’t be surprising because iPhone 13 mini sales were already low
It is already known that technology companies are experiencing parts supply problems due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This being the case, it is a very reasonable approach that Apple does not want to allocate resources and time for the iPhone 13 mini. But that’s not all there is to it. The affordable and small-screen iPhone has never been interesting enough in the eyes of the consumer.
In fact, the research company CIRP conducted a research covering the US market in the first quarter of 2022. Within the scope of this research, it was revealed that iPhone 13 mini sales in the first quarter of 2022 constituted only 3 percent of all iPhone 13s sold in the same period. When we add the low sales figures to the supply problems, we see that there is no reason to continue the production of the 5.4-inch screen iPhone 13 mini. Let’s see if there will be an official statement from Apple or if the company will quietly discontinue the iPhone 13 mini…
