My mini 12 is holding on for dear life. I’ve been tempted to replace the battery, but holding out for this update to see… but the size of the mini is unbeatable.
As a mini enjoyer myself I was told to not hold my breath.
The form factors have already leaked out, like they usually do when manufacturing starts. It looks like there is no Mini.
If you really want to keep that small form factor, I would replace the battery or upgrade to a 13 mini.
I know, it’s too bad. I don’t think I can justify replacing the battery or upgrading to something that’s also old. I am gonna just try and ride thins thing out until I can’t do it any longer.
I have a 15 and have had iPhones exclusively since the 11 (first one was the iPhone 2) but really wish there would be an occasional crazy one.
Don’t get me wrong there are good enhancements but maybe a completely see through version one year then the next make it rainbow pattern or have inbuilt LED. I remember LG bringing out a modular phone that you could switch out components like camera or extra battery or torch etc.
While there are some really cool things coming (spatial video, action button, etc), the only reason to recommend an upgrade this year is for Apple Intelligence features. If your phone is old and it’s just your time to upgrade, then it’s a great year for it. But if you’ve got a newer phone, don’t rush for the upgrade.
