Also, the mini had worse cameras than the larger screens.

Camera quality is the second most important thing to me (after not needing finger enhancement surgery to hold the phone).

So, they designed it to fail, and it still was 3-5% of sales vs. ones that actually got good spec bumps every year. (If you’re upgrading the phone every 12 months, why buy the one with cameras a few years behind the curve?)

Anyway, I like my mini. I wish it had touch id instead.



The Minis had the exact same cameras as the non-Minis. The Pros had the only camera improvements. In my experience all were worse than the contemporary Pixels though.


You are misremembering. There was no issue with the cameras on the mini, unless you expected a Pro mini for some reason.


Ah true. It came down to Pro vs. Mini for me because I usually just buy the best iPhone without regard to price. (I don't care about spending an extra $200 for a device I'll use for 4-5 years, but Apple's cheapest phones were also the best back then.)
