Isn't the iPhone SE, which is now on its third generation, selling pretty well? That kind of made the mini redundant, no?


I rock it and they can pry it off my cold dead hands…

The button works every time, unlike Face ID which is sometimes hit / miss for me.

Camera is quite good. Not the latest / greatest but honestly, who cares? Most people believe they are artists that are shooting the next masterpiece, yet most pictures are a)never seen ever again or b) a poor attempt of a picture already taken 20 million times - you are not that special as Apple makes us believe.

Pocketable, decent battery, does not force me to grip it forcing my finger joints. Screen is small, yes, but an upside to remember to put my phone in my pocket more and live the world more. I have a laptop and a tablet for longer sessions.


I have one (original SE, makes the Mini -which I also have, and use daily- look like a slab).

It's my low-end test device, but tops out at iOS15, so it's almost useless.


It still has the home button, which makes the screen smaller. No FaceID. And the camera is inferior.
