It appears the diminutive device won't make a comeback anytime soon. Apple has no current plans to reintroduce the smaller iPhone model, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said in a recent livestreamed Q&A session.

It’s a pity, therefore, that Apple doesn’t have any plans to revive the mini iPhone. The audience for iPhone mini devices may be appropriately diminutive, but it’s an enthusiastic one, and it’s a shame that Apple doesn’t cater to it any more.

Apple discontinued the iPhone 13 mini, the last of its pint-sized smartphones, in September 2023 — and we're not going to see another any time soon.
