Some theories:
- User base overlap with the new SE. It's possible potential buyers had already upgraded to the new SE several months earlier before the mini was announced. (anecdotally I know a couple of these)
- Not having the ability to try it out in person. I could see risk aversion leading to more "status quo" purchases of people worried it could be too small.
- bustin 6y agoI bought the SE2 last year and would have paid the difference to get a Mini instead if they were available at the same point in time. EDIT: I had heard the rumors but you can't expect people to delay their phone purchase several months based on a rumor
- knubie 6y agoAnecdotal but the reason I wanted a smaller phone was to be able to use it comfortable with one hand (I use an OG iPhone SE now), and the screen size of the iPhone 12 mini is on par with the 6/7/8 plus, which are very much not usable with one hand. The fact that my OG SE still runs perfectly fine on the latest iOS doesn't hurt either.
- mgh2 6y agoI hope SE3 will be the 12 mini :)
