> Not a single person I know, directly or not, bought an iPhone mini. I assume these people either bought another Apple phone in the lineup, or choose to delay purchase until the next phone announcement or their current phone breaking ? If they switched to android altogether I'd see it as a clear change in what they wanted, but if they stayed with Apple, the onus was on Apple to make the mini attractive enough to have these people buy it. Blaming the customer for not buying what they expected to be a better proposition feels weird. It doesn't help that wether Apple fails or succeeds to make that pitch, users will probably buy another Apple device anyway.
