Request to resume "small" iPhone Mini smartphone production

Dear Apple,

Please resume "small" iPhone Mini smartphone productions.

Reexamine smart phone market data to see good benefits exist, with opportunities for Apple. It will convince Apple directors to resume manufacturing small, compact smartphones.


*iPhone 13 mini (5.4") was discontinued 2023 September. The smartphone market population includes a segment of small smartphone users; within that segment is a large number that owns Apple devices that will need upgrade/replacement in the near future. Currently, there is no similar "small" Apple iPhone available to replace it.

∴ Apple is set to lose all market share of small/compact mobile smartphones.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 26

Product Feedback - Apple


Apple seems to do pretty good market research. The didn't become one of the biggest companies in the world by completely ignoring what consumers want. I suspect Apple stopped producing the smaller phones because they didn't sell as well.
