The eagerly awaited Apple iPhone 15 launch is just hours away and is generating excitement among tech enthusiasts. For those considering an upgrade, this event presents a perfect opportunity. However, if you’re a fan of smaller iPhones, this might be your last chance to acquire a brand-new mini iPhone.
Recent reports indicate that stocks of the iPhone 13 mini are dwindling, and some foreign media outlets have even reported longer waiting times for the device. In India, the wait time is relatively short, with buyers in parts of Delhi expecting delivery within 3-4 days. Furthermore, customers have the option to pick up their purchase directly from the Apple Store.
The mini-series made its debut with the iPhone 12 launch and continued into the iPhone 13 series. However, it seems that the iPhone 13 mini could be the last of its kind. Due to lower demand, Apple decided to transition from the compact 5.4-inch form factor to a larger 6.7-inch screen with the iPhone 14 Plus. This year, Apple is expected to continue with the larger format. While the iPhone 13 mini is currently available in all configurations in India, this availability may change after the launch of the new iPhone 15 series.
From a buyer’s perspective, the lower sales of the iPhone 13 mini could be attributed to factors such as a smaller battery size, resulting in reduced standby time. Additionally, the trend of larger screens may have made the standard iPhone’s 6.1-inch screen sufficiently compact for many users.
The iPhone 15 series launch event, named ‘Wonderlust,’ is scheduled for September 12. The event will be live-streamed in India at 10:30 pm. Apple will unveil several models in the series, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Some of the most notable highlights in the iPhone 15 series include:
- iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: The non-Pro models will see significant improvements in the camera module and the removal of the notch, a feature introduced in the iPhone X series.
- iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max: Apple is making a strong push for the pro models, equipping them with the latest 3nm A17 Bionic chip and a lighter and sturdier titanium frame (replacing stainless steel). The Pro Max is expected to feature a periscope camera with 6x optical zoom.
Another major change this year is the adoption of USB Type-C, marking the potential end of the lightning cable introduced in 2012 with the iPhone 5. These exciting developments make the iPhone 15 launch an event to watch for Apple enthusiasts worldwide.
