The iPhone 12 accounted for 27% of sales, while the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max accounted for 20% of sales. The iPhone SE outsold older models like the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR.
iPhone 13 mini didn’t sell “despite improvements”
Apple introduced the iPhone 13 mini in September 2021. Despite improvements such as longer battery life and brighter display, iPhone 13 mini sales did not go well. According to CIRP data, the iPhone 13 mini accounted for only 3% of iPhone sales in the second quarter.
The iPhone 13 mini actually offers advantages over the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, but many consumers see the larger screen models as superior.

The iPhone 14 will be available in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch form factors. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch form factors. This means that the smallest iPhone will have a 6.1-inch screen. When the iPhone 14 is introduced, the iPhone 13 mini price will probably drop.
