Because the 12 and 13 minis didn’t sell for shit. That’s why.
There’s no point in keeping around a product line that nobody is buying.
I haven’t bought a single mini because it’s always nerfed in some way. I don’t want to compromise for not being able to comfortably hold the expensive model.
As soon as Apple releases a mini model that’s on par with the rest of the flagship lineup, I imagine these metrics will tell a different story.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon.
The 13 Mini wasn’t nerfed in any appreciable way, that I recall. Slightly worse battery life was the only downside
If they brought a mini pro version it would be a no brainer. I need telephoto and promotion and the island in a small package.
