After launching the iPhone SE 2020, Apple decided to launch the iPhone 12mini as a powerful yet compact phone for consumers who miss the small formfactor. Unfortunately, according to recent stats, there are not many peoplewho are interested in the product.
Wave7 Research recently published their new stats via PCMag, and thenumbers don’t look great for the newly launched iPhone Mini. According tothe report, the smaller iPhone 12 variant accounts for only 4-5 percent ofsales at each major U.S. carrier. In contrast, the iPhone 12 accounts for24-33 percent of sales at three major U.S. carriers despite being $100 moreexpensive than its smaller sibling. One of the main reasons behind theincreased sales is the larger display size.
One of the reasons behind the iPhone 12 mini’s lower sales could be thecomparison with iPhone SE launched earlier this year. The Smartphonelink costs $349 and comes with an A13 Bionicchipset as compared to the iPhone 12 mini that costs $699 and is powered bythe A14 Bionic SoC.
