There is a rumor floating around that an iPhone X Mini is being made within the facility of Apple. And while there is no confirmation for the production of the device, concept design has already made its way on the web.
However, it wasn’t made by anyone within Apple but was created by one Dongjae “Krystofer” Kim. Kim said that he was inspired to draft the design for the iPhone X Mini after seeing some people struggle with large phones. At one point, he reportedly saw a child struggling with answering a smartphone with huge screens and thought that shrinking the size of the device might solve this issue.
Thus, he started working on the concept. The iPhone X Mini is said to be 40 percent smaller than the iPhone XS and comes in numerous shades including red, gray, blue, and peach.
Although the idea is interesting, it’s highly unlikely that Apple will include the iPhone X Mini in its lineup. Sure, one can argue that the device could potentially be marketed to parents who want to give their kids small phones.
But that’s about the only argument that you could make for the iPhone X Mini. Add the fact that Apple’s stocks have been struggling this year and the chances of the device hitting the market in the future become bleak at best. Right now, the company needs to focus on the quality of their several flagships as other companies are taking away chunks of their revenues.
One of them is Huawei. The smartphone manufacturer has overtaken Apple in the second-quarter of 2018 and became the second largest seller of smartphones worldwide, lagging only behind Samsung. This is the first time in seven years that a new player has entered the narrative between the Apple and Samsung battle. As such, Apple could not afford to lose focus by making gimmick devices like the iPhone X Mini. Fortunately for the company, the iPhone X is doing relatively well in its sales performance although there’s still room for improvement. And that’s the hole that Apple needs to fill.
