I had just been through the toll plaza pictured about a week before I got a scam message.  It made me think if I'd not had my FasTrak transponder where it might pick up?  They usually get you with a photo of your plates as you drive through.   Then i remembered reading about this new-ish scam.  Logged into my FasTrak account and I'd been charged correctly.
If you think you got one, go directly to the agency that deals with tolls.

Well then, if they ONLY sell as well as most other companies offerings, it sounds like it's time to refresh the Mini in the near future.
It won't put Apple out of business, and my 12 mini is getting a little long in the tooth (what ever that means).

I bought a refurbished 13 mini the day after the 16 E-waste was announced.  I wanted to replace my 2nd gen SE, and thought they would have a 4th generation SE.  

 The phrase “long in the tooth” is believed to originate from horses, or more specifically, a horse’s teeth. How so? Because the older a horse gets, the longer their teeth become. So it is possible to give an approximation for how old a horse is simply by looking at their teeth.

Funny how we use phrases properly but don’t know where they came from.   At least you used it properly.   And thanks for the historical reference.   I did not know of its derivation.     

Apple doesn’t think the mini has legs/sale potential worthwhile to justify existing.   It probably costs as much to produce as the new 16E based on component use, tooling, vendor prices, and volume.   

I see a lot of people talk about wanting a mini, but the vocal were not indicative of the sales.  It’s unfortunate for them.   

Well the main difference between a 16E and new mini release is that I'll never buy a 16E, a phone THAT DOESN'T FIT IN MY POCKET! 
The 12mini replaced my original SE after about 5 years.  It was a good phone.

Looks good, but I need a phone that will fit in my pocket.....

Obviously.    Riiight.
