Future of iPhone mini series

Unlikely.

The iPhone mini unfortunately was not successful sales-wise. As such, it's unlikely Apple would want to revist that particular form factor if there is simply not enough market demand for it.

I know there are fervient supporters of the size, but unfortunately, there aren't enough for it to make financial sense for Apple.

From https://www.slashgear.com/1613364/why-apple-discontinued-iphone-mini/

The end of the iPhone Mini comes down to one factor: Demand, or lack thereof. The first signs of trouble arose in early 2021, when Consumer Intelligence Research Partners revealed that during the iPhone 12 launch window, the Mini accounted for just six percent of sales across the new line. Later that month, a leaked Morgan Stanley investment note revealed that Apple planned to cut iPhone 12 Mini production by two million units to increase iPhone 12 Pro production capacity. Several weeks after that, a Nikkei Asia report pegged Apple at cutting Mini production 70 percent from original plans for the first half of 2022. Just six months in, the experiment was a failure, but Apple's lead times are long enough that there'd still be an iPhone 13 Mini. Sure enough, another CIRP report soon showed it was selling even worse than its predecessor did.

This is not to say there will never again be an iPhone Mini, but unless it makes financial sense for Apple, don't expect one any time soon.

Any intentions for producing new phone under minis series ?

Apple isn't here as this is a user to user only forum. While we can't speak for Apple it seems pretty clear a new Mini, when the last Mini hasn't been refreshed since 2021, is an indication that Apple is unlikely going to renew them. While the Mini certainly has it's fans, the sales numbers just didn't justify the Mini's existence. Apple is a "for profit" company, who has a responsibilities to its shareholders to sell products most people want. To quote the movie A Field of Dreams - "If you build it they will come." Apple built it, but not enough people came.

You are more than welcome to provide feedback to Apple where it will be read --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

But I wouldn't hold my breath for the introduction of a new Mini.

Apple did just release the iPhone Duo, which when folded is more Mini like (albeit thicker) to hold, but opens to be even larger than the iPhone Pro Max. You might want to learn about the Duo, which you can do here --> iPhone Duo - Apple

No

The mini models did not sell well enough to be continued

Hello ~ I understand your love of the 12 mini being from the “Cult of Mini” myself. A dear friend urged me to upgrade and I recently got an iPhone 17 Pro. I love it !! It’s not that noticeable larger but the feat including the cameras are fantastic!! Make the move…you won’t regret it.
