It was 3-5%, if I remember the numbers correctly. There are rumors that the Air didn’t sell better.

I don't have any official numbers, but it sure seems like the Air is selling worse than the Plus which sold worse than the Mini.

Also, the mini had worse cameras than the larger screens.

Camera quality is the second most important thing to me (after not needing finger enhancement surgery to hold the phone).

So, they designed it to fail, and it still was 3-5% of sales vs. ones that actually got good spec bumps every year. (If you’re upgrading the phone every 12 months, why buy the one with cameras a few years behind the curve?)

Anyway, I like my mini. I wish it had touch id instead.
