If Apple ever offers 13 minis in the refurbished store I may pick one up to have as a backup device to my 15PM. Right now all that's available is 12 mini.
Got a tip for us?

I would prefer to purchase from Apple's refurbished store as you get a one year warranty and basically a new device. From what I found on Swappa, most excellent condition 13 minis are being sold at the same price if not more than what is offered on Apples refurbished store with no warranty and could possibly need a battery replacement
I’ve had a 12 mini for three years, and now, after Apple didn’t bring out a 15 mini, I’ve swapped it for one of the last new 13 mini. I hope it will serve me another three years or so.
Unfortunately, currently there are no 13 minis on the Apple refurbished store. There is one 12 mini 256gb and it is $529. I bought a 13 mini 128gb on Swappa for $376. It was listed as good but it was actually near mint and 89% battery health. I would never recommend a 12 mini but if you're looking for a mini on the cheap they have some nice ones starting at $250, so about $340 if you send it in for a new battery.
Yes, it is confirmed. SE takes que from an old design, technology with latest internals of its releasing year.It’s clear the next SE version will have bigger screen (6.1”?), but still hoping they'll offer smaller 13 Mini size version as an option…
iPhone SE 1 - iPhone 5s.
iPhone SE 2 & SE 3 - iPhone 8
iPhone SE 4 - iPhone 14
On mini, we will have to see in 2026 what Apple has for small screen iPhones. 6" screen is big.
6.1-inch will be the new SE and ”mini” given the regular model is moving to 6.3-inch in 2025.
I moved on from the Mini to the 15Pro and got used to it surprisingly fast. The slight width difference to previous models helps a lot.
Think i would stick to this size even if they offered a Mini. But my usage has also changed this year, so a bigger one makes more sense now.
But i still think the option should be there for those who want it.

Sorry, just trying to be realistic. I used to love the mini . . . .
Any signs for an iPhone 16 or 17 Mini?
Did you see any?

Absolutely not. I think the return of the mini is right up there with the return of the headphone jack and lightning port..
None, it was discontinued for a reason and that reason still stands.
The sizes were locked in six months ago.
