I assume they will roll another one out in a few years, I think everyone who buys a small phone hangs on to it for a long time. Before I bought a 13 mini my previous phone was the original SE (also small) so obviously I'm not upgrading every year.
Let us all know the next time you upgrade so we know it's coming then :P
That'd make sense, since it's only a small group of people who'll get it. Probably a phone they'll release every 3 years or so.
It was 4 years between the original SE and the 12 mini, they released the 13 mini right away but I think that might have been because battery issues with the 12. Maybe the ghost of Steve Jobs begins to haunt Cupertino after a few years of Apple not releasing a smaller phone
I'm still running an iPhone 8; my partner's broke so she upgraded to the 13 mini about 6 months ago, and now I have regrets that I didn't as well.
