Why do people buy iPhone mini?

The iPhone Mini joined the Apple phone family the latest out of all these models. Introduced in 2020 the phone only survived 2 years before being cancelled in 2021 and officially discontinued in 2024. As described, the iPhone Mini is a smaller version of the regular iPhone with a 5.4” screen size. It performs just like the normal iPhone in terms of features and performance however it has a shorter battery life because the phone is physically smaller. As we said, the Mini was discontinued quickly, although it’s still available on some websites like Envirofone, the phone lifecycle ended because it was clear the iPhone and iPhone Pro Max were beating it in terms of sales. Apple didn’t see a point in continuing its sales if no one bought it. The Mini is perfect for anyone who wants to stay connected and is constantly on the go. It’s easy to transport, fits easily in one hand and is described for one-handed scrolling.

What is the difference between regular iPhone and iPhone Plus?

The iPhone Plus was first introduced in 2014, the second official iPhone range to enter the scene. It’s also still running alongside the iPhones, though there is speculation that the iPhone 16 Plus will be the last edition of the Plus model. The Plus is a larger version of the regular iPhone (it has a Plus size screen) with a 6.6” screen size. Similar to the Mini’s weaker battery life, the Plus has a better battery life because it’s a physically bigger phone. This iPhone is perfect for anyone wanting the regular features on the cheaper iPhone just with a larger screen for improved viewing.

What is the difference between an iPhone and an iPhone Pro?

The iPhone Pro was first released in 2019 and is one of Apple's most successful iPhone ranges. The biggest change in this phone compared to the others is its camera lens which has a triangle-shaped layout. Inside the phone, it’s got an improved screen size, newer processing chips, a larger battery and so much more. With these improved features, naturally, the iPhone Pro is much more expensive. The Pro is perfect for anyone planning to spend a lot of time on their smartphone throughout the day, specifically people who use their phone during workdays to complete work-based tasks. Its powerful performance will manage any task.

What is pro and Pro Max difference in iPhone?

And finally, we have the iPhone Pro Max, released at the same time as the Pro this model again is a larger version of its Pro partner. It’s classed as Apple's biggest and most expensive smartphone with a 6.69” screen size. It offers the same features, performance and power as the Pro, obviously in a bigger size. Great for anyone who works with photography, videography and heavy tech-related work and who doesn’t mind splashing a little extra cash for a phone that provides the power. If you’re a beginner in the smartphone world, we don’t recommend this as your first option as its many features, camera skills and size, in general, may be overwhelming for a beginner.
