I bet Apple underestimated the demand for a mini 5. They clearly let the mini line sit idle for years and we thought they would soon officially retire it but then they seem to have reluctantly updated the line with the new mini 5. From a personal perspective, I'm glad they did release a mini 5 and it definitely has a place in the mobile device community fitting in very nicely between the iPhones and full size iPads. I hear a lot of people saying/writing that why would anyone need a mini when the iPhones have fairly big screens now, especially if you get an 8 Plus or a XS Max. However, the mini remains very portable and has a much larger and much more usable screen than any iPhone when it comes to surfing the internet. For example, try viewing this forum on even a large screen iPhone. Maybe there is a hidden mobile version, but I cannot find one. It is viewable on an iPhone, but trying to type replies is very difficult due to the iOS interface and keyboard taking up so much space and the text being so small. No issue viewing and replying to posts for this website on a mini though. Compare that to the MacRumors forum that looks very nice and is formatted for smartphones.

Seriously though, is there a mobile version of this forum? I hope so as viewing it on my iPhone is a royal PITA.
