Apple still sells the iPhone 13 mini as a refurbished device.

Mark Gurman had a livestream today where he had bad news for iPhone mini lovers.

From MacRumors:

Gurman said that Apple currently has no plans to reintroduce a smaller iPhone model.

You didn’t need Mark Gurman to tell you this, but this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. If a device doesn’t sell to Apple’s standards, it won’t keep it on the market. On the flip side, Apple’s refurbished store does have the iPhone 13 mini in stock every once in a while, and it was on their site a few days ago (sold out right now).

If you really want one because you missed out earlier, or because your current 12 mini or 13 mini is on its last legs, keep refreshing the site and you might score one.

Just as a reminder, Apple’s refurbished devices are a great deal in my opinion. They do come at a higher price tag than other 3rd party resellers, but you essentially get a brand new iPhone with a full warranty.

From Apple’s website:

All refurbished iPhone models come with a new battery, a new outer shell, a one-year limited warranty, and free delivery and returns.

This also includes:

• Full functional testing, genuine Apple part replacements (if needed), and a thorough cleaning

• The original operating system or a more recent version

• All accessories and cables repackaged in a brand‑new box
