Apple Discontinues 5.4-Inch iPhone 13 Mini, Still Sells iPhone 13 and iPhone 14

[MacRumors]

With the launch of the new iPhone 15 models, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 13 mini, the last remaining flagship iPhone under six inches. Apple only made two 5.4-inch iPhone minis, the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 13 mini.

The iPhone 12 mini was discontinued with the launch of the iPhone 14, leaving the iPhone 13 mini as the only smaller flagship option. The iPhone SE is still available to those who want something smaller than 6.1 inches, but it does not have modern features like Face ID.

Apple is continuing to sell the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14 as lower-cost options that are offered as an alternative to the iPhone 15. The iPhone 12 has also been discontinued and replaced with the iPhone 13, which has dropped in price. Apple's full device lineup is as follows:

• iPhone SE - $429
• iPhone 13 - $599
• iPhone 14 - $699
• iPhone 15 - $799
• iPhone 15 Plus - $899
• iPhone 15 Pro - $999
• iPhone 15 Pro Max - $1199

While the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 12 have been discontinued by Apple, they may still be available from the refurbished store while supplies last, and third-party retailers will also have some stock available until it sells out.

RIP iPhone Mini. You will be missed.

We all knew this was coming but I still feel horrible. I hope they come out with a new Mini model in the next few years. Just replaced my battery on my 13 Mini.

R.I.P.

Best form factor there was. I’ll miss my 12 mini when I finally let it go.

resellers stocking up

 

[Victor Mortimer]

Meh. No interest in small screens. Still no SE+.

 

[DoctorApple]

What’s the point of keeping both the 13 and 14? They have the same chip.

 

[Gengar]

It will be missed. Pour one out for mini.

 

[Unami]

Sad times. I'm probably going to get me a 13 Mini from a third party reseller in a year or so.

 

[JensenKA]

****. Guess I’m keeping an eye out on the refurbished store.

 

[sw1tcher]

Apple should have killed off the SE and replaced it with the 13 mini at a $449 to $499 price point.

 

[eatrains]

Apple doesn't make phones anymore, just phablets for people who sit on the sofa.

 

[jonnysods]

A dagger in thine heart!

 

[james2538]

Sad. They really should release an upgraded small phone every once in a while.

RIP iPhone Mini. You will be missed.

I wanted to say “here before yayarea” but nope. Beat me to it

 

[JPack]

Sorry to see you go, but you will not be missed by many.

Bought my 13 Mini two days ago, in anticipation that it may no longer be offered after the announcement today! Glad I grabbed one while I could!

Yeah, I really want one to replace my 12 Mini, but I couldn’t bring myself to drop full MSRP on it.

 

[Royksöpp]

That is way too many iPhones. The 13 line should have been cut all together.

 

[DFZD]

Really upset about the discontinuation of iPhone 13 Nano. 😢

 

[Sykora171]

Upgraded from 12 mini to 13 mini a few months ago in preparation. Planning on holding onto the 13 mini for as long as I can! I think it’s the perfect form factor for me. And I have large hands!

As far as the minis go, the 13 has been amazing in terms of not getting hot and battery life compared to the 12. But I do miss the minty green color of the 12 mini.

RIP Mini!

Not exactly the same. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus have the 6-core CPU / 5-core GPU A15 chip from the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. The A15 chip in the 13 and 13 mini are 6-core CPU / 4-core GPU

Going to continue using my iPhone 13 mini for as long as I can, but might have to switch to Android afterwards, even if it's super annoying with a Mac and an iPad as other devices. Of course there aren't that many Androids either that you can use with one hand, but at least they exist. It's mind-boggling why can't they turn the Mini into a new SE.

 

[chillywilly]

RIP 13 mini. Two years strong here, my 13 mini is still going great with 94% of the original battery capacity. I hope it goes another 2 years, with of course an eventual battery replacement.

 

[JAQ]

Apple caters mainly to people who want to cram a freaking iPad into their pocket. You'll have to pry my SE from my cold dead fingers.
