Apple launched the iPhone 12 mini as part of the iPhone 12 series, citing the craze for compact smartphones in the market. The company initially thought the device would be popular among users looking for an iPhone SE-like form factor, but with the new design and powerful internals. However, Apple’s prediction did not turn up to be fruitful as the demand for iPhone 12 mini started decreasing in the market. And now, as per reports, Apple has stopped iPhone 12 mini production and is looking to discontinue it.
We have a new report from a Taiwanese research firm called TrendForce, stating that Apple has already stopped production of the iPhone 12 mini. The device has reached its End-of-Life phase merely in the second quarter after its release.
As a result, Apple is now no longer manufacturing the iPhone 12 mini. The Cupertino giant is still selling the device on its official online and offline stores. However, the company will discontinue the 12 mini once it sells off the existing stocks, which is expected to happen sometime later this year.
