With the reveal and launch of the 2021 iPhone range looming, Apple fans are already looking further into the future. Namely, many are wondering about the iPhone 14 models due to launch next year in 2022. But, will there be an iPhone 14 Mini amongst them? Here’s the latest on a potential iPhone 14 Mini release date.
Is there an Apple iPhone 14 Mini release date?
Apple doesn’t have plans to launch an iPhone 14 Mini, according to recent reports. iPhone 12 Mini failed to meet sales expectations, which many Apple insiders believe will make the upcoming iPhone 13 Mini the last in its range.
Seemingly, most consumers looking for a small iOS smartphone opt for the iPhone SE instead. That model fits the smaller size requirement, while also being more budget-friendly (if lower spec). As a result, the iPhone Mini finds itself in a difficult position — rather than addressing the problem, many reports suggest that Apple will simply drop the line completely.
For fans of small mobile phones, Apple appears to be releasing one more iPhone Mini revision in September 2021. After that, users will need to switch to the iPhone SE range. Reports indicate that the SE line will continue to receive support, which is at least a nugget of good news for iPhone Mini fans. The alternative for anyone looking to stay within the Apple ecosystem is swapping to a larger phone; there will almost certainly be plenty of choice amongst the large iPhone 14 models.
