Last year’s introduction of Apple’s smartphones brought one significant innovation, which users often call for in discussions. Compact yet powerful models are not very good for manufacturers, which some customers are unhappy about. However, companies seem to know very well what they are doing. The smallest phone in the family iPhone 12 with the nickname mini, according to Counterpoint Research, it does not sell nearly as well as its siblings.
Counterpoint Research published worldwide smartphone sales for January 2021. It features the smallest iPhone since time immemorial iPhone SE not doing well at all. While the first four places are occupied by devices from Apple’s workshop – iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro a iPhone 11, you would look in vain for the smallest representative of an apple manufacturer on the front rungs. The Apple iPhone 12 mini crouches in eighth place, behind the Redmi 9A, Redmi 9 and Samsung Galaxy A21s.
Apple is aware of the lower demand for the smallest model, as evidenced by this reduction of its production. With small and powerful models, it’s not easy to break through, which Samsung is convinced of with the model Galaxy S10e, so Sony s se with its Compact. None of these models have seen their successor, and it is not so difficult to estimate what was behind this decision.
Don’t miss – IPhone 12 review: the best of the whole quartet
It is very likely. that we will not see compact phones in the future. If even a giant like Apple could not convince the market, then there is a good chance that other manufacturers will not even try. As a fan of smaller phones, I’m sorry, but it’s time to acknowledge that most users want big-screen phones.
