> The release schedule was crap, as well as the 12 mini being an objectively bad phone.

I still use my 12 mini; it's by far my favorite iphone I've had since my 5s. It might have had sucky battery life but I was just happy to have a phone that could fit in my pocket.

I've replaced the screen twice, battery once (by myself) and I have really very little intentions on moving to anything newer than the 13 mini.

I'm not sure why Apple doesn't care about the mini apple users. My friends, when they pull out a 17 pro look absolutely ridiculous, constantly having to pull the phone out when doing any real work since the phone just keeps getting in the way.
