Igeekphone July 12 news, Xiaomi founder, chairman and CEO Lei Jun last night in Weibo asked “Are there still people using iPhone mini?” Many netizens in the comment area believe that Lei Jun’s question may be doing research for Xiaomi’s small-size flagship mobile phone, or it may be preheating the upcoming MIX Flip vertical screen phone.
Apple has released two mini models – the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 13 mini. Compared to the standard phone, the mini version is smaller and cheaper, but because of the relatively low battery capacity, so the battery life is not ideal, and the series of phones on the commercial level sales is not good, eventually leading Apple to stop selling the small screen device.
Although the iPhone mini series has been discontinued, there are still many users who prefer the smaller iPhone. It’s a similar story in Japan as well: Sales of the iPhone 12 and 13 mini more than doubled in the first week of the new iPhone 15’s release, as Igeekphone previously reported. Now that Apple has stopped selling mini models on its official website, Japanese consumers are turning to second-hand stores online to buy the phones.
