> the Mini wasn't selling

Yes it was.

Per [1] the Mini makes up about 3% of iPhone sales. Per [2] there are about 200M iPhones sold every year. That means there were about 6 million iPhone minis sold in one year. Per [3] the Google Pixel sold about 10 million units in one year, and that was a record sales year. The iPhone Mini alone sold almost half as much as Google's entire Pixel lineup!

Small phones do sell. If someone reputable made one, they could completely corner a market almost as big as the Google Pixel.

Surely 3% of sales is weak from Apple's POV. They aren't comparing themselves with Honor or whoever.

    Neither am I. I'm comparing it to Google Pixel, which is surely a decent competitor!
