The only reason my spouse and I both bought 13 Minis is because we suspected the same. We otherwise were fine to hold onto X-gen iPhones for a little longer (despite their carrier-deck screens). I hope we're all wrong about that "no more Minis" thing, but if we aren't, it's going to be "cold dead hands" time[0].

[0] As in, "pry it from my...", for those not familiar with the saying.

I don't see any reason to get rid of my 12 mini yet. I hope I never will.

Upgraded my 8 to it and not happy with it too.
