I suspect that the Mini name didn't do it any favors, especially starting in 202 when no one could see one in the stores. It gives the impression of something very small. I saw a lot of online commentators saying things like "I could never use something with a tiny screen" and "I'm afraid I would lose a tiny phone like that". In reality the Mini is within a few mm of the size of the iPhone X and the Mini screen is larger than the iPhone 6/8/SE. It didn't help that it was a lot more expensive than the SE that has just come out and not much cheaper than the regular iPhone. People expect prices to reflect size.
