    If there’s a recall of all older iPhones, what would happen? Would they send everyone the latest? (Honestly they should if it’s really that serious)

      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.

        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.

            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

              I believe you’re confusing it with the SE.

              Also, there was a late color release for the 13 mini, IIRC.
