Fascinating to look at the launch weekend distribution of the iPhone 17's. It followed a similar pattern to what I've seen most launch weekends. The Pro is by far the most popular, followed by the Pro Max, then comes the regular and then the 'special'.

If I would have guessed, the radical nature of the Air might have shaken the shape of this up a bit more. But it least 3 days in it looks pretty similar.

@_Davidsmith ok so real talk if they keep doing weirdo specials that sell single digit percentages why no mini since 13. people don’t want thinner phones they want a phone they can hold and use in one hand #releasethepromini

@gormster @_Davidsmith Mini abandonment was because it didn’t sell, and now we know the 4th phone never sells well, which doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have them! Thin phone is half a folding phone, so that’s why it exists. I agree, sell the Mini and a thin or folding phone, and give everyone options. But I think that ship has sailed.
