Apple reportedly switched 2 million units of production from iPhone 12 mini to pro.

We've been talking about this, we kind of already knew it. The fact that maybe out the gate, the mini model, not so hot, not as hot as maybe originally imagined, or maybe we just have too many iPhones to choose from in 2021, 2020, but it certainly is starting to look very clear

They estimate that shipments grew 47% year over year in the December quarter, reaching a new
