Looks like my biggest iPhone 14 design fear might come true

There comes a time in every iPhone release cycle when 3D molds of the upcoming models make their way into the wild. It's happened a little earlier than normal this year, with the metal models supposedly leaking this week. And if they're the real deal, they confirm my worst fear about the iPhone 14 line up.

The models, which appeared on Chinese social media site Weibo last night reveal four iPhone 14 models in two sizes – 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches. And if these are the correct sizes, it can only mean one thing – the iPhone mini is indeed facing the chop.  (Check out the best iPhone 13 mini deals before it disappears.)
