They had to cut the Mini line because it was bankrupting the company. It's not like Apple can afford to have a product that only sells a few hundred thousands units a year, are you kidding?

If a product line loses money it’s pretty logical to cut it, is that controversial or did you mistake Apple for a charity?

Price is flexible. We have no insight on Apple's finances, but how much is that line losing money by? And is it losing money at all, or is it a strategic decision?

At the scale Apple operates at, and the egregious margins on their products, I wouldn't be so sure it was a financial decision.
