Only Apple currently sells a compact flagship smartphone, but new research suggests that the iPhone 12 mini has not been a success so far. Based on the initial uptake of the iPhone 12 mini, it seems that spending US$100 more on an iPhone 12 is a more attractive proposition for people in the US.

Bought it but ended up returning it. Love the size, hate that battery life.

Noooo, I hope they don't cut the idea completely off and do a refresh after couple of years as now I'm set with my mini for at least 3 years. The size is perfect!
