    The base iPhone 12 and 13 was the mini which were both sold for less than $800. And I owned them both. Using my 13 mini to type this reply.

      I don’t know if you can call the mini the base model. It’s not available every generation and is a special model like the SE.

        What feature does the standard 12 and 13 have that the mini models don’t? The SE makes compromises all over the keep the price down. So it’s not a straight comparison.

          Well the iPhone 14 exists but the 14 mini does not. It did have similar features sans general size, battery etc, but it needs to be available to be a “base” model.

          Other than that it’s just a generational one off product like the plus, SE, or XR models.
