Apple’s iPhone mini series lasted only two generations. It was the iPhone 12 mini (Opens in a new tab) followed by the iPhone 13 mini (Opens in a new tab)but then Apple went the other way and released the larger iPhone 14 Plus (Opens in a new tab)instead of the iPhone 14 mini. While this decision may have disappointed fans of compact phones, it still seems like it was the right one for Apple.
A new report from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC (Opens in a new tab)) – via telephone circuit (Opens in a new tab) Specifically, panels for the iPhone 14 series were examined and found that iPhone 14 Plus panel shipments over the past 11 months were 59% higher than they were during the same period last year for the iPhone 13 mini.
This number won’t exactly match the number of units for each model already sold, but Apple won’t order more boards than it needs or expects to need. So it seems safe to say that the iPhone 14 Plus sells much better than the iPhone 13 mini at this point in its life cycle.
The obvious conclusion that can be drawn from this is that there does not seem to be a very high demand for small mobile phones. (Opens in a new tab) Large size comparison. But of course there are those who still buy compact cell phones, so it’s sad that these users are getting fewer and fewer options.

So it seems that people currently have an appetite for the best. mobile phones (Opens in a new tab) They can get it. But this change likely has a lot to do with Apple’s somewhat uninspired iPhone 14 presentation compared to the more expensive models in the range.
There’s no iPhone 13 Plus to compare the current model to, but if the iPhone 14’s panel shipments are down 36% compared to the iPhone 13, and it still offers more than twice the number of panels compared to the iPhone 14 Plus, it doesn’t. It seems to go very well with the Plus model.
Based on that, we wouldn’t be too surprised if the Plus series didn’t last long, just like the mini-series that preceded it. leaks (Opens in a new tab) He suggests we’ll at least get the iPhone 15 Plus, but it might actually be cheaper than the current model, in an effort to make it sell better.
