Why would your takeaway from that be that even the loud people didn't want it? It's perfectly plausible that all the loud people bought the Mini, but it still wasn't enough to make it a viable product.

Also, Apple gave it less then two years. I could easily imagine plenty of people wanting the Mini, but being unable to justify the purchase because their existing (larger) iPhone was only a few years old. Not everyone has the resources to buy a new iPhone every year or two.

New product is a major investment, nobody competent would just discontinue it because it doesn’t sales well early on. I suppose Apple has the number to show future sales of the Mini would be weak.
