Just to close the loop on our reader survey, it seems that TidBITS readers—at least those who respond to our surveys—are most intrigued by the very small and the very large: the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The iPhone 12 mini ran away from the pack with 44% of respondents picking it, with the iPhone 12 Pro Max second with 28%. The iPhone 12 Pro (13%) and iPhone 12 (9%) lagged behind, with the inexpensive iPhone SE picking up 6% of the votes. The older iPhone 11 got a single vote, and no one voted for the iPhone XR at all.
The question, of course, is how representative we all are of the larger iPhone market. I worry that we’re not and that the iPhone 12 mini’s popularity among this group may not extend more broadly. Apple may never say, but we’ll see what happens next year—will there be an iPhone 13 mini?
