French regulators on Tuesday ordered Apple to halt sales of the iPhone 12 for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation, and to fix existing handsets.
Even if they did (they won’t), they can pry my mini out of my hot, irradiated hands.
I think the best we could hope for is a simple firmware update, assuming enough of the right people make noise about it. I’m sure Apple would much rather we all just bought new phones though, so they won’t do anything unless they have to.
I swear minis line releases were different times than the regular models for each generation, though it looks like 12 and 13 minis were the same time as the other models of their generation. So I’m going to chalk this up as I don’t know what I’m talking about haha

Would the mini be included since it’s released with the next year’s models?
what do you mean? mini was released alongside all other iPhone 12s

I believe you’re confusing it with the SE.
Also, there was a late color release for the 13 mini, IIRC.
France have nerfed old Apple products before.
My second gen iPod got volume nerfed back in the day because it was playing too loud for French regulations (with the earbuds that came with).
I’m probably one of the few that noticed because I was using a studio headset that required all that output power to play at a decent level.
