It sold poorly, sadly.
- lofaszvanitt 2y agoOf course, since they gimped it. What about creating a smaller version laden with features...
- Angostura 2y agoNothing gimped about the 13 mini
- skyyler 2y agoA lot of the people that wanted a small iPhone jumped at the 12, so the 13 fixing the problems was a bit of a "too little, too late" situation.
