Apple released the iPhone 12 mini<\/a> last year, winning many applauds from people who like phones with small screens. However, the company might stop producing this model due to weak demand.<\/p>\n

As noted by AppleInsider<\/a>, JP Morgan supply chain analyst William Yang said in his recent investment note that Apple might cut the iPhone 12 mini\u2019s production number by 11 million in the first quarter of the year, and may stop manufacturing it in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Yang also opined that the Cupertino-based tech giant might slash the number of the iPhone 12 made, but build more iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max units in the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

A report from analyst firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP)<\/a>  for the October-November 2020 period suggested that the model with the 5.4-inch screen accounted for just 6% of Apple\u2019s sales. However, it\u2019s important to note that the mini was available for sale in November. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apple might still sell the iPhone 12 mini after the production stops. But its dwindling demand is a worrisome sign for the compact flagship. The company already has a \u2018small\u2019 phone in the form of the iPhone SE. So even if Apple releases four iPhones this year as expected, it would consider shutting down the variant in a couple of years.<\/p>\n
