I read that iPhone 12 & 13 minis had very low sales rates. Disappointing since I too am waiting for another mini to be released. I would have 100% bought an iPhone 16 mini.

#4I wish that this was seen as a good thing, not a bad thing. Everyone who wants an iPhone already has one, Apple makes good products that last, and new phones these days are incremental updates rather than revolutionary new products, so there’s not a large incentive to upgrade.

#5Why would I upgrade though — my $2K 13 Pro is still state of the art, and tech jobs are collapsing. Who knows whether I’ll need $2K in 3 months time?

I’m the same way. I bought 12 and 13 minis and stopped upgrading my phone since then. I’d love to have a mini version with a good optical zoom camera.

#7How many people got screwed in the last 2 iPhone generations on carriers moving from a 24 month carrier financing model to 36 month carrier financing with "bill credit" promotions?
I fathom a lot of people have a sour taste about wanting to trade in and get stuck with this phone for the next 3 years.

#8Same thing happened with the Vision Pro. They were available for employee purchase almost right away.

#9This article is bunk and misinformation . Employees almost always get a single personal discount on launch day. I’ve managed to score many a launch day product from friends there.
What they don’t get on launch day is their lower tier discount for friends which (unless my friends are uncharacteristically holding out) they don’t have yet either.
