The iPhone mini has its fans, even though they may not be as numerous when compared to their flagship variants. However, it looks like that Apple may just drop the unique variant from their line-up going forward.

According to a tweet from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the iPhone 13 mini stock is running low, and Apple doesn't seem to be interested in renewing it in the upcoming 'Wonderlust' event scheduled for tomorrow (September 12) at 10:30 PM IST.

To recall, The Cupertino-based technology giant did not release an iPhone 14 mini, opting instead to sell the 13 mini at a lowered price point.

Also unusual is that there is going to be a merchandise reset after the event, with a big manager meeting planned after Apple launches the newest iPhones. It's not common for companies to hold merchandize meetings right after a big event, unless they are planning to cut some variants out of the line-up.

Latest tidbits from retail: - Low/no stock of Watch Ultras, watch bands, leather cases, MagSafe wallets, iPhone 12, 13 minis, Pro phones - Merchandise reset on evening of Sept. 12 with manager call set for after event. Uncharacteristic for event days - Plan to push USB-C bricks

Whatever the case may be, here's hoping that mini fans have something to cheer for after tomorrow's event, though signs suggest it's unlikely given the low sales numbers of the mini series compared to the normal iPhones.

Last year, Apple introduced a new Plus into the line-up with the iPhone 14 Plus, which seems to have been more popular than the 13 mini, even with a reduced price.
