I’m reading a lot of this and most of my friends got the mini. I wonder why it didn’t sell well? Seems like a lot of tech enthusiasts actually care about one-handed usability – but nobody else cares.

That seems to be the case: Ars Technica, Reddit, even this forum, are in favor of the minis. But the thing is most of us are tech enthusiasts who’d rather use our computers and tablets for a larger screen over the iPhone, so most of the population who would be drawn to the minis are concentrated there.

The common complaints i’ve read are that it had mediocre battery life and the screen felt cramped.

Never thought I’d see someone call an Apple product lineup bloated. xD

I disagree, the regular 14 massively outsold the plus. The regular 12 and 13 were also the most sold of each year as well.

14 overall wasn’t as popular this year as the pro versions though.

Not me, count me as an enthusiast who wants bigger phones. My ideal is a 2340x1080 screen at 6.7" or even 6.8".
