This is information to be taken with a grain of salt but it makes sense. According to a note published by analysts at Morgan Stanley, Apple could reduce its production of the iPhone 12 mini by two million units in order to be able to produce more iPhone 12 Pro.
The authors also indicate that the iPhone 12 mini would not meet the expectations of the Cupertino company with results that were less good than expected. In total, this model would only represent 6% of iPhone 12 sales since its launch.
