Cupertino, CA – In a significant move, Apple has officially ceased the sale of the iPhone 13 mini, signaling the conclusion of the beloved ‘mini’ series. As of now, Apple’s sole compact phone option is the iPhone SE (2022).
End of an Era with iPhone 13 Mini
Cupertino, CA – With the unveiling of the iPhone 15 series, Apple has seemingly drawn the curtains on the iPhone mini lineup, culminating with the iPhone 13 mini as the final offering in the compact smartphone range.
Farewell to the Mini Series
Cupertino, CA – The iPhone 13 mini, released in September 2021, serves as the swan song for Apple’s ‘mini’ series, as the tech giant no longer offers any 5.4-inch devices. The move comes as no surprise, considering the dwindling interest in Apple’s mini lineup in recent years, with the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini emerging as the company’s least popular models.

Apple’s Ongoing Product Evolution
Cupertino, CA – As part of its annual tradition, Apple discontinues older models shortly after introducing its latest iPhone lineup. Alongside the iPhone 13 mini, other discontinued models include the iPhone 12, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, all of which have been removed from the Apple India website. However, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus remain available for purchase.
Limited Options for Compact Apple Phones

However, it’s worth noting that the iPhone SE lacks certain features like Face ID and a dual-camera setup.
