The iPhone 14 series debuted in September, and perhaps for the first time in Apple’s history, it made the technical and design differences between the standard and Pro models so obvious. The US manufacturer also said goodbye to the mini model and brought back the Plus, which was used between the iPhone 6 and 8 series. However, recent reports suggest that the company has failed to meet its sales targets, except for the Pro models. For this reason, critical changes are in question in the iPhone 15 series, which is expected to be introduced in 2023. Finally, there has been a disturbing development regarding this issue.
Apple will not include the ‘mini’ model in the iPhone 15 series
With the iPhone 12 series, which debuted in 2020, the mini model, which is not missing from other models in terms of design and technical features, and offers a smaller smartphone experience, entered our lives. Although it received positive feedback at first, it could not meet the company’s sales targets in the long run and was shelved with the iPhone 14 series released in September.
At this point, the mini model was replaced by the Plus, which offers larger dimensions and batteries. However, recent reports suggest that this move didn’t work either. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the prominent names in the industry, the smartphone is the least-selling model of the series and even shows a worse sales performance than the iPhone 13 mini introduced in 2021, according to a report published in September.
After this change could not fully meet the expectations, allegations emerged that Apple will include the mini model in the iPhone 15 series again. While this development especially excited those looking for a small screen and more compact smartphone, the latest report of LeaksApplePro, which was published recently, shattered expectations.
In the report, it was emphasized that 2023 will be difficult on the Apple front and there is no possibility of the failure of the iPhone 15 series. For this reason, it was stated that the manufacturer has different plans on the subject and that the shelved mini model will not return. When we consider previous reports, new name changes may occur in the upcoming series.
