alt Hacker NewsIt’s funny that the marketing for this is about introducing a new member of the family. But it doesn’t also mention that one other member has been disowned/excommunicated

From a marketing perspective, it's probably ancient history. They've had three rounds of iPhone launches between now and the launch of the 13 mini, and the 13 mini was discontinued a year and a half ago. Even if the 16e had been a mini-sized phone (or available in this size and a mini size), it would have been weird for marketing to highlight that market segment and draw attention to that 1.5-year absence.

It's like when your employer says "we're all one big family" and then fires people. Makes you wonder what their families are like...
"Is Uncle Dave coming this Thanksgiving?"
"No, he was adopted by a competing family. We're suing."
