Apple's iPhone 13 mini didn't sell very well, but I don't think the phone itself is to blame. So in this video, I wanted to explain why I believe the iPhone 13 mini is the best iPhone you'll never buy. And this comes after using the 13 mini once again here in 2022, more than 9 months after its initial release.
We discuss the iPhone 13 mini battery life and why I think you've been lied to about it, the compact size of the phone, the camera quality, display quality, price, and if you should buy one in 2022 or not. Enjoy!

13 mini gang, y'all exist?
I want one ngl
I got the iPhone 13 pro
I bought one last month.
But i got a iPhone 12 recently after upgrading from the 8 which lagged like crazy
I want one too
I currently have a 256GB 13 mini. I’ve upgraded every year since the 4S but after the improvements made from the 12 mini to the 13 mini (battery, display, camera), I’m contemplating not just skipping this year’s iPhone, but also trading this one in and grabbing a 512 before apple discontinues them. This phone paired with an iPad mini 6 and soon an M2 MacBook Air, I’ve never been happier with such a compact yet more than functional iPhone. The iPhone 13 mini is indeed underrated.
Ditto! :)

I have a 13 mini and I absolutely love it. It was an upgrade over my iPhone 7. I find bigger iPhones to be unappealing because of the weight and uncomfortable need for 2 hands. Even after the iPhone 14 being announced, I love my mini and I’m mad at apple for abandoning them.
Exact same boat, I also upgraded to the mini over the 7, I find it funny how people find this size unappealing when the iPhone 7 from just 6 years ago has a smaller screen
Bro why is there so much people that upgraded from 7 to 13 mini i did the exact sane thing like a week ago
@@kirscht6040as a current 7 user I am also planning to buy 13 mini but I am a bit confused over 14 pro. What do you advise me to buy, 13 mini or 14 pro?
@@mtyl156 from personal experience i would def say 13 mini cuz its good and realtively cheap for the specs
I think alot of people cast these smaller blowers aside because of the smaller screen, don't get me wrong, I love my big screen android phones, But the form factor and one handed operation of these smaller phones are brilliant, I like to lay on my side sometimes and surf in the sack, and trying that with my pixel 6 or op7 pro is next to impossible, But tremendous on these smaller phones, used to love my little se 1st gen in gold, I've just ordered a 13 mini in blue.
I used 13 pro for about 5-6 months then switched to 13 mini and it only took me few hours to get used to 60hz display. I really don't miss out anything from 13 pro now and I always loved the mini size because it's not really "mini" as people think, it's the perfect sized phone in this day and age where phones are turning to tablet size and tablets are turning into laptop sizes and phones are no longer phones now. I don't use pro camera as I like what's available in 13 mini anyway. It just works! I frigggin love my 13 mini!
My XS broke last monday, so i bought a 13 mini and have used it a week now. And I have to say: I think I was never so happy with a phone. It has a ton of power, battery life is ok (still better, than on my old phone), a really good camera and nice features like faceID with Masks. But the very best part is: it is so extremely handy. I can do everything with just one hand, it fits easily in my front pockets and I can reach everything with just one hand (that is something you really appreciate, once you have it). I'm so happy about it and would recommend it to literally for everyone, except for people who need a really good battery life
After one and a half month, I can say: I‘ve never been more happy with a phone. I really dont miss a big screen and I think i would buy a even smaller iPhone, ist if if were posible. Its just perfect in every category (except that some MagSafe-Powerbanks dont support it)
how much screen on time you get? 5-6hs? my s9 struggles to reach 4hs now
@@Scramzi You get like 7ish hours on it! I usually put ~3 hours a day screen on time on my current phone (android) and plan to get this 13 mini soon!
Unfortunately, iPhone 12 Mini had destroyed the reputation of "Mini" mainly due to the short battery life. I just got the 13 Mini 256GB a month ago to replace the iPhone 12 Pro mainly due to the discomfort of the size and weight. The iPhone 13 Mini's viewable screen size is only 0.1" smaller but with OLED and much brighter than the biggest screen iPhone 8 Plus (LED) just a few years ago so I am not sure why screen size would even be an issue. I hope Apple will give us the new iPhone SE as well as new iPhone Mini Pro in the future. A iPhone Mini Pro, I will buy that in a heartbeat as I do miss the telephoto lens, Pro-Rez and the assistance of Lidar in difficult lighting conditions.
So happy to see vids like this. Been craving for a good small-factor phone. No complaints with anything with the iPhone 13 Mini, If Apple stops this line, I will order another 128/256 Gb model just so I am set for a few more years. I totally-totally love my Mini!!
I bought the iPhone 14 Pro thinking I would enjoy the new camera system. I was wrong. It is heavy and bulky and difficult to handle with one hand. Returned it and got the 13 Mini instead. So happy I did for all of the reasons you stated!
As a current 7 user I still cant decide which one to buy, 14 pro or 13 mini so you definitely advise me to buy 13 mini???
@@mtyl156 no doubt u go for mini monster

Same! The dynamic island was neat though, I like what they did there. But having the mini makes me feel so happy!
@@godspeedzeno Recently there has been reports that the dynamic island has been burning the screen! I definitely recommend the 13 mini!
I have been using iPhone 13 Mini for 5 months now so far its great -- pretty shocked that "small" screen isnt a big deal. I have a cousin who bought a 13 promax and he kinda regret it... he said its too big, too heavy, cant fit on his pockets and he always drop it from time to time he said the promax is great but if he would take back the time he would rather "downgrade" from regular 13 or 13 mini instead. IDK what is wrong with people tho, i kinda felt like i am missing out because i have the "small" phone.
I just bought a new Iphone 13 mini and love it. I can’t stand large phones . It’s like carrying round a small tv
I still have and love my 12 mini that I’ve owned since launch but the 13 mini is quite an improvement. It’s a shame Apple is phasing small phones out of their lineup, even the next SE is rumored to be a XR size device. I get it, many people use their phones as their main device so in that case you want the biggest phone you can afford but I still don’t like it
I’ve had a lot of people say they wanted the 13 mini instead of the 13 pro max. Even an apple employee told me they’d rather have the smaller form factor of the 13 mini then the regular 13 pro.
So I will say. I went from the 13 pro max to the 13 pro and now I’m currently using the 13 mini. I don’t see myself going back to a bigger phone anytime soon.
I am surprised to hear the sales for the mini did poorly. I've seen a lot of random people using this phone rather than the 13 Pro max (rarely seen by the way). Tbh, I don't trust Apple, there might just be some sinister reason why they're allegedly killing this off. Well, maybe, I am just bitter and petty lol...
I’ve got the mini and really wish I went with the pro I find my hands cramp a lot with the mini
@@javviii that means you hold your phone a lot
I currently have a regular iPhone 12, but now that they put a larger battery in the 13 mini, I will probably upgrade to it!
13 Mini was the best tech purchase ive made in the last decade. As a male, I hated the weight in my pants with the pro max model. Also considering theres no way to run two apps at once on iphone I felt like the big screen was pointless aside from GPS. Battery life easily gets me through the day comfortably and I live in a city with 5G data. Also got me off being a screen slave because the screen size was uncomfortable over long periods. Still watch videos and am on social media but not for nearly as long. Made my phone much more of a practical device.
I agree with almost everything you said in this video. I’ve been using an iPhone 13 mini for a few months now and it’s amazing
Very disappointed to hear that they're likely to abandon flagship minis! I want a Pro mini! I currently have an 11pro, the smallest of the 11 series, and no plans to get a new phone anytime soon. If the 13 minis had as many lenses as the "pro" phones I'd be tempted to go ahead and get one to encourage them to make smaller phones.
They will never do that.
BUSINESS
@@vikram_shahi I'd pay as much for it as for a bigger one. Used to be the smaller and lighter a mobile phone the more expensive. Compared to my previous iphone, my current iphone feels like a giant lead brick. It won't stay in the pockets of most "women's" clothes, and I can't use it with one hand, even though it was the smallest (but not the cheapest) new iphone available when I had to replace my old one.
I can't believe i'm the only person in the world who wants the best possible camera in the smallest lightest phone and is willing to pay for it. Not saying you're wrong that they won't make it, unfortunately that seems true for the foreseeable future, I just don't see why it would have to be bad for business. People have flipped from expecting the smallest phones to be the most expensive to expecting them to be the cheapest because the manufacturers have taught us to. Apple could flip it back.
Really though I want a folding phone with a top level camera.
Keep your 11 Pro & add a 13 mini ! ;)
Same!! I would love a Pro Mini.
@@notallwhowanderarelost4797 im in the same boat. I have a 11 pro max, but I want something new and a smaller phone is calling me. I was thinking of going with the mini but im drawn to the camera system on my iPhone.... a pro mini would be amazing.
I bought an iPhone 12 Mini, and like others was unimpressed by the battery life. So when the 13 Mini came out, I upgraded to it. I love it. Apple discontinuing the Mini line with the new 14's, will make me keep this one for at least a couple of years. So much for having the iPhone Upgrade Program, eh? :)
I'm considering one, how different are the 12 and 13 mini's battery life?

Getting one as well 😃Walked in the store asking for a 14 mini and got puzzled looks. Was rather unenthusiastically introduced to this. I was immediately impressed. Hopped onto CZcams to check reviews and it seems this phone is just highly underrated.
@@sxfia214 Lol at 14 Mini and puzzled looks.
does the 12 mini have an OLED screen like the 13 mini ?
Wouldn't this be the perfect size to use with the new dynamic island? I feel like they really need to bring this back once every phone from the lineup gets dynamic island, especially since the 14 plus didn't do as expected in terms of sales.
I don’t think it’s possible to put dynamic island on the older models. The 14s can do it because they have a custom screen with the front camera embedded in it
Had my 13 mini since launch. Came from an 11 and I’ll never go to back to a phone any bigger than the mini. Perfect size for me
I have had an iPhone 13 mini for 7 months and I honestly can say I love the little guy! I don’t miss my iPhone 12 at all but later this year I will keep my 13 mini for a backup then I will upgrade to a new iPhone 14 Pro Max
Great review bud, you picked your pointers and framed it all really well. Been using the 13 mini red 128 gb. A15 bionic on a compact device with good battery life is just perfect for a casual user like me! Just an ideal daily driver that melts in the pocket.
Appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying your mini!
Exactly casual users only
"Melts in the pocket": don't give Samsung new PR ideas!
128g have been enough?
I bought the iPhone mini 12 and I upgraded to the iPhone mini 13. I will agree with you it is the best phone and I am probably going to keep it for a couple of years! The iPhone 14 would have to be pretty darn amazing for me to upgrade.

@@arpitpandit391 There won't be a 14 mini.
Apple is destroying this model by calling it “mini”. It is somewhat a negative term for most people. This is a normal size. Anything above 6 inches are actually big.
HAHAHAH "size doesn't matter"
Glad you made this video. I work construction and it’s a hassle to send or view a quick text with one hand. You answered all my battery and screen questions in one sitting. If I want to watch videos all day I’ll grab my iPad or look at tv. Great review man!
Love your videos Brandon-Really love your entertaining and informative reviews!!!-The iPhone 13 mini is definitely a great iPhone!!!Keep up the great content Brandon!.
Mainly use my iPad for media consumption, like watching this video for example. Really think I’d like the mini better as a find myself only using my phone for calls and texts now. I think the 13 mini and iPad is a good combination based on my current uses for each
Lol same here 🤙🏻💕
I have a mini 13 and it's been really good to me. I've owned the all the previous versions in the Pro or Max and I've found that the mini is easier to handle, carry in my pocket and type with one hand. It's super light and fit in most of carry alongs as well as bike bags. Camera works just as good as the others. I've only had one issue, some apps have alerts or close out X in the top right corner, and they tend to sit right on top of the battery and WIFI Icon, making it hard to open alerts and close out of certain screens. I'm wondering if there is a way to reduce the screen portion on some of these apps to alleviate the issue. Apps referred: Truebill, TrainHeroic
Swipe the phill navigation bar to down, it will enter one handed mode
GREAT video, Brandon, thumbs up! Totally agree, I have an Ipad Pro for media consumption, I use my phone for the basics in business plus some. Why don't we buy a few brand new sealed and store them for when they are gone? I bet there will be a demand when they are gone.
I’ve had mine for 4 months and I love it! However I have noticed the sound quality is distorted at high volume. It looks like other people have also faced a similar issue with the 13 mini. I took it to a apple service centre and the lady agreed the sound is problematic but told me nothing can be done because the diagnostic tool didn’t report anything. She said it’s probably a software issue and I’ll need to wait for a software update (if it ever gets released).
Sick, i think only me, ok thanks
I couldn't agree more, the original SE was an awesome phone but it was just that little bit to small for practical typing and internet use so the 13 mini is right in the sweet spot for size for someone like myself who simply hates the big phone only era we live in nowadays. I think smart phones are a suckers game after a lot of bad experiences and just bought cheaper options but the first time I held the 13 mini I immediately wanted one, dam you Apple, Im hooked bad and might find my self paying the ridiculous price for one.
Absolutely LOVING my mini! I can't stand having a massive screen so this was a no-brainer for me. Though as of today I dropped it and it now sports a small scratched dent on the back of the bezel :( Always such a traumatising experience getting that first cosmetic defect!!
Still love mine despite some weird bugs (probably iOS issues, not the mini itself) like GPS drift. If they made a mini pro with all the features of the big one it would be amazing.
Hey.. nice video. question for you please: does the iPhone 12 mini have an OLED like the 13 mini?
Or is the 12 regular LCD
I have a 12 Pro Max and am completely over the size. Seriously considering saving a ton of money this year and just getting the 13 mini instead of the 14 Pro.
I like the mini a lot I contemplated downgrading from my 13 pro max to the mini and just buying a tablet so I can have the things I enjoy now but also in the future if I got tired of this iPhone I’d pick up a used mini
Love my IPhone 13 MINI …….so handy for my pocket and purse, a great camera and screen, I was going to hold out for the 14….but I really wanted the Mini version which I believe is not coming …so I just picked the 13 Mini up …it is such a pity …. I use an ipad for Netflix and CZcams…95% of the time, so I mainly use the iPhone 13 mini for calls messages maps while in the car …and camera…and the odd CZcams video, and have never had a problem with the battery …
13 vs 13 mini speaker comparison please? Is it compromised by size as well?
The iPhone 13 mini is literally the best phone - period.
I just upgraded from iPhone 8 to 13 mini last week. The screen is larger than the 8 of course, and I am used to this size phone. It also fits in my pocket, which i like.
Hi! I also have an 8 and am wanting to upgrade. A couple friends of mine have the 13 and the camera is really difficult to focus, have you had any issues with the 13 mini camera? Thanks!
@@user-zk3ne6cx1s I haven’t had that problem with the camera’s focus.
@@jeffmande4671 awesome, thank you!
upgraded from 6s to 13 mini in march. i share the same sentiments. fantastic little phone and huge leap, lol
Is the battery same as the 8?
Do you recomendt it when using a drone? You think the screen its big enough to handle it?
Just picked one up. Selling my 12PM. Wasn't too impressed with what the 14P models had so taking advantage of a cheaper 13 series. Had the 12Mini and thought it sucked, but have only heard good things about the 13M.
Setting it right now and look forward to a more compact way of tech life.
iPhone mini is the best phone I've ever had. It fits in my hand, in my pocket. It's pleasant to handle. It's beautiful. It should have more storage than the other iPhones and be even with more powerful specs because this device is for smart people who don't care about 'big', 'show off', 'status', but efficiency. Again, an amazing device. I'm not an enthusiastic, marketer. Already 46 yo. My corporate phone is a 'default' sized phone and I feel like not touching it. I believe I will buy more 'minis' to have it stored! Congrats on your video.
I wouldn't mind having a mini for a second phone for those times when you just want the convenience of having a good small phone in your pocket that does not become a burden while doing certain tasks,
but don't intend to do a lot of media consumption.
I'm guessing Apple is discontinuing it because the profit margin is not high enough ......... we all know that with Apple its all about the money.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
love the video ! makes me more confident switching back to the mini with the 13. also since its the last mini : (
I still think the iPhone 12 mini should've just Been called the regular 12 and and the 6.1 inch 12 should've been the 12 plus or 12 max. calling it the "mini" makes people think its this super small phone thats hard to use. I truly believe the naming is what ruined the "mini" line and it would've sold just fine if the called it the regular 12/13 instead of mini. regardless I still love my 13 mini. The battery life is great for me and I love the size.
agreed; this phone is the perfect size and weight; anything more is too much.
I’ve just ordered a 13 mini - my favourite ever iPhone was the 4s due to the small size and squared edges - I loved it. Glad they’ve gone back to the 4/4s design 10 years later, it was and is a great design.

Nice vid. Perfect timing for me. Should I buy 13 mini now or wait til sept for price drop? Worried that 13 mini may not be in line up once 14 released. Unlikely but could happen. Thanks.
12 mini is still in the lineup, so I don't see a reason for them to drop both at the same time. I'm waiting to buy in autumn, but I'm afraid price cut might be disappointing.
Best size for small and medium hands. Easy one hand typing, even with a case
i initially bought the 13, but did not enjoy it much. 12 was better (I don't know why). then started using 13 pro. but eventually came down to 13 mini because pro was too heavy. i enjoy using the 13 mini. but yes, I do miss the macro lens and yes it gets hot as you said. those are the 2 things I don't like, but its okay.
How many times did you charge a day?
@@Slurpee99 mostly once only. yes, I do put it on charge when I drive. that's all. if I shoot a lot of videos etc then yes it does need charging, but otherwise, on most days it runs throughout the day. at least the way I use my phone.
@@DeepakBhakoo do you ever use low power mode?
@@Slurpee99 though it is not required but I have this habit of activating it. it certainly helps.
Great review man! Thanks. I just bought a new 13mini in Canada. I was looking for exactly the smaller form factor. What a powerhouse...the pinnacle of minimalism. Okay it was for the real one which is the Apple Watch, but you get my point. I was using an old iPhone 8 for the watch effort and this was a validating video! Hope many watch it. Straddling platforms I use an LG V60 Dual screen and it truly rocks for those bigger screen needs when I need that and it shoots RAW and 8K video. Exceptional really. The iPhone 13 mini in the pocket is a beautiful thing with full on power and camera as you mentioned.
I’ve had my 13 mini for a month now. I previously had a 12 pro max. No regrets. I just love the mini. It’s just so convenient.
I bought one last week. I love the size and weight compared to the 13 Pro which is way too heavy.
I bought an iPhone 13 mini out of urgency and thought I was going to hate it because of the size but honestly it’s one of the best phones I’ve had in a while
Good for you!!!
I absolutely love my 13 mini and I’m very sad that they might not release more phones like it. It’s the perfect phone!
Did they improve the speakers on the 13 mini compared to the 12 mini?
I hope they won't kill the mini line. It's a very good phone to handle.
To ne honest, if a 13 mini Pro has existed, i would have buy it with no doubt !
Having this much functionalities in such a compact phone would be incredible (with a good battery life of course)
But because of his non existence I went for the normal 13 Pro
Recently I bought a refurbished iPhone 12 mini as a second iOS device. I don’t have a sim card in and I mostly use it at home for having some background music but it also serves if my main phone is charging. Battery life isn’t an issue for my use case.
It’s definitely a nice size and really cute but I’m not at all surprised sales were disappointing . Most people will want a larger screen
That's a solid use case for the mini! But yes exactly, most people these days are consuming media from their phone and the mini just isn't made for that
@@BrandonButch did you hear, Apple might bring back the plus variant of their iPhones. So there might be an iPhone 14 iPhone 14+, and iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max
Thanks for the review. I really want the "pro" cameras, but the mini size is so tempting. I suppose Apple will reconsider if more people purchase one.
Absolutely love the 13 mini and have had it since release. It’s fatal flaw however is battery life. It was great when I originally got the phone and would easily last an entire 20 hour day without the need of a charge. Now however I can’t get it to last 8 hours (even with battery saver on) with the no change in my use case. This has made the phone very inconvenient when traveling as I am constantly looking for a charger to make sure it doesn’t die.
They should of kept the mini line up and made it pro. Make it a little thicker too to get the much needed battery. Don’t care about cost but love the form factor.
The mini-series of iPhones are fantastic.
Thank you This was helpful
I have been waiting years to be able to afford another iPhone and haven’t had one since the iPhone 4! I bought the mini because I have an iPad which I use for almost everything so didn’t need a bigger screen. For me, the smaller the phone the better (within reason) and quite honestly I couldn’t be happier with the 13 mini. At the end of the day it’s a matter of figuring out what your individual needs and usage are. I wanted a decent iPhone that is small and easy to carry around with an acceptable camera and that I don’t use as my primary device. This fitted the bill perfectly.
i upgraded from an iphone 6s since it just got dropped from ios and i absolutely adore my 13 mini, it does everything i need it to do with ease and like you, i don’t use it for media consumption all that often but when i do, it does a great job and it also has a way better screen than my laptop. i got the 256gb option since i plan to hold on to this one until it’s unsupported or if they ever do release another mini iphone in the future. i fully recommend the mini iphone life!!!
Im going to upgrade from my 6s in few weeks.. but I dont know what to choose. 12 or 13 mini.
Whats your suggestion from former 6s users.
@@pi3kun get a 13 mini! a bit longer battery life compared to the 12 mini as well, smaller notch, and other little improvements. it’s also newer :DD
@@pi3kun nah get the pro max bigger screen better cameras and 9 hours of battery life then that garbag mini
I am one of them !
The Apple MagSafe battery fits perfectly on iPhone 13 mini : )
I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPhone 13 mini and like them both for different reasons. The Mini format is great and just fits in your pocket.
If i’m to buy an iphone now that they released iphone14, i’ll definitely choose the minis. I love how compact it feels and i’m ok with the size. For the battery i agree in this vid that i’ll use my ipad to watch (even browse sometimes). I’m pretty basic when it comes to using mobile phones. I just need them for call & msg.. occasional pictures and that’s it. I want a phone that fits in small bags and i think minis are perfect! I hope they bring this back in the future. Tho i can understand if people skip this. Price is very near to regular iphone 13.. perhaps they thought they get better value if they get the iphone13 instead.
I love the 13 mini, on it rn, it is pretty small but its not too small, i love this phone!
Love my 13 mini. Also have an 11 pro max, but i use the mini more.
Hi, can I transfer info from the Samsung Galaxy 3 to the Apple iPhone 13 Mini? Cheers bud. 😉
Just got 1 regret not getting the regular 13 it sits so well in my hand but I’m beginning to love the mini after a few weeks
Funny I just bought the green 13 mini yesterday. Loving it so far. Very snappy.
Also, I game on the xbox and pc. So I don’t even consider mobile gaming as a negative for the mini.
Nice! The green one looks awesome and is the most rare
i think this was apples fault for naming it mini, had it been the new standard of the original iphone i sure think it would have done even better, or if they named it like Iphone 13 and the bigger ones iphone 13 Pro and the 13 pro max and just skip the original iPhone 11/12/13 altogether
Getting my 13 mini for Valentine’s Day/my birthday. Can’t wait!!
Lol good timing. I have a used one coming in the mail tomorrow
I think it’s cute and I think it suits a lot of people so I’ll bet there’s a lot that’ll be bummed that there’s not coming one in the 14 line.
For sure. Hopefully they just rebrand it as the next gen "SE" model. Thanks as always for watching K!
@@BrandonButch I think you’re right. You’re very welcome B!
@@BrandonButch makes sense
@@BrandonButch i’m gonna upgrade my phone for my birthday, I might get the 12 mini or the 13 mini, I’m not sure yet
@@123theprodigy5 If you can afford it, you should get the 13 mini. For $100 more, You get a newer chip, Brighter screen, More storage, and it future proofs you for later updates
I was thinking about getting one, especially cause I prefer small phones.
i will upgrade this black friday to the 13 mini from the iPhone SE (2016). super hyped!
Your video is really good. Really captures the beauty of the iPhone Mini starlight. I've watched this video so many times already. I'm thinking about buying this phone. That's why. But kudos on you for the great camera you used to shoot this video and the white background you chose is great.
I was holding it in my hand and for me, personally, it was too small. I will still stick with the Max models.
To each their own! I love the one-handed use with the mini
I have big hands and will only buy the max phones.
@@BrandonButch i’m a get the 12 mini because I want the iPhone 4 design again.
I'm a life long flagship andriod user that was really interested in the iPhone 13 mini. I fell in love with my small form factor Samsung s10e and when I upgraded from that phone, I tried out a iPhone 13 pro at launch due to them not having my preferred color in the mini available from my carrier.I kept the iPhone for about a month before I became disenchanted and switching back to andriod with the pixel 6 and while I am satisfied, I still want a smaller phone and am willing to give ios another try as I am impressed with the advancements ios16 is bringing. I'm thinking of selling my pixel and snagging a iPhone 13 mini
*edit
i took the plunge and bought a 13 mini last week, so far i like it. i traded in my pixel 6 towards it so theres no turning back, i dont miss as many things as i thought i would from my andriod.
Hey, how are you liking your 13 mini 2 months later? I've been using my Samsung Galaxy s10e for 3 years and I'm looking to upgrade, considering the 13 mini
same! I'm using an s10e that back then I bought because I don't like big phones. I'd like to switch to the 13 mini and was wondering how it is going for you
I have just upgraded from an 11 to the 13 mini. To be honest, it’s the best iPhone I have ever purchased. It’s the perfect size with an impressive set of features. Unless they bring out a new mini, I will be keeping it until it doesn’t get updates anymore. I see sales of the 14 plus are worse than the mini. Fingers crossed it comes back.
How many hours is it off charge for bedore charging it again . Am till pm? Cheers
Its my daily and I Dig it!!!!
I would go mini if it had LiDAR and cameras and sacrifice refresh rate
Would you recommend this one I’m currently using se 1 and 7plus and planning to upgrade, it will be my last iphone to buy😅
I love my iPhone 13 mini. Gutted there won’t be any successor. I am determined to hold on to this device for years
I currently have an iPhone X and in in my opinion it is the perfect size for comfort, screen, weight, etc.. I've been debating for months about whether to get a 13 or 13 mini but I'm not really comfortable with either one to be honest. I love the fact that the mini is much lighter and makes carrying a phone in my pocket much easier but .... My X is in great shape and serves my purposes so I guess I'll stick with it for now. Although maybe I'll go ahead and buy a mini just for future use if my X ever dies.
I had a 13 mini but traded up to the 13 pro… the small form factor was nice, but the refresh rate and battery life on the pro are very much noticeable differences. 13 mini is good for anyone who doesn’t need insane battery and doesn’t value 120hz.
100%. I did the same. The 120hz is a game changer and you can't go back after enjoying the buttery smoothness
I have an iPhone 13 mini and I'm thinking about an iPhone 13 PRO just because of the battery. I'm not a demanding user, I don't play games, but I do everything on it - e-mail, calls, messages, sometimes social networks, CZcams, internet browsing, sometimes movies... I don't have an iPad or MacBook. I'm tired of constantly wondering if my battery will last, when I should charge it.
@@jitkatyfova7804 I definitely recommend upgrading. Even to 14 pro if you can
@@jitkatyfova7804 how long does the battery on the mini last throughout your day?
Do you find much camera differences between these two? especially for video recording? I am planning to buy a mini for youtube content.
Do you think they'll still be available come Black Friday?
Hi brandon does apple have a concept page or something??
It's funny how this iPhone is considered a "mini", when it wasn't that long ago that phones were actually smaller. Phones have gotten unnecessarily larger now. The best sized phone ever was the iPhone 4.
I liked the iPhone 5 a lot and it may be the best overall, but I think my all time favorite phone is the iPhone 6s. I just got the 13 mini, so this may take its pace as my favorite.
@@eamonob84 I had an iPhone 5 after my 4, it was okay just taller. I kept it long enough where I had to replace the battery myself, it was easy. Now Apple made it harder to replace batteries ourselves. I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus that doesn't hold a charge long, the battery max capacity is now at 70%. So yeah I have needed a new iPhone for a while, just couldn't decide what to get. I liked the 7 at first but after years of using it my hand gets cramped holding it and it's not pocket friendly. So I've decided to get an iPhone 13 mini, so looking forward to a phone that's easy to hold and put in my pocket. :)
@@Resist4 I’ve had my 13 mini for 3 days now and I’m loving it. I think if you like the small iPhones you’ll love it too. Plus, the battery has been really good. I unplugged at about 6:30 this morning, it’s 8:30pm now, I’ve got 3hrs 15 min of screen on time, and battery is still at 45%.
@@eamonob84 I've resisted a smaller phone but I felt the screen would be harder for my older eyes, guess I'll just use stronger reading glasses. lol
I got the 12 mini for a shocking $300. For someone with huge hands, the size is surprisingly enjoyable. It's such a shame that Apple won't continue the lineup
From where?
waiting for a 15 Pro Mini. This new notchless design with a ProMotion display would be a godsend in that form factor
I’d actually be ok with the SE and mini being merged together in the future. Camera bumps are getting ridiculously large and unnecessary. The bump on the 12 mini was pushing it, but the 13mini bump takes up the whole backside.
I think calling these a mini may have given it somewhat of a negative connotation in peoples minds however in reality it’s all the screen and phone that most people including myself need. I held off on upgrading for years as I only wanted a reasonable size phone and was happy with the 6s I had, however I am really liking this 13 mini screen, size, and improved tech and can see myself using it for years into the future. As far as battery life is concerned I’m getting two solid days out of a charge at my normal level of usage.
Mini is perfect for me, because for me a smartphone is one of the most boring and unloved electronic gadgets. I can easily not pick it up once during the day (and it's great that I do not "live" in a smartphone and am not a smartphone junkie). And so, the smaller the smartphone, the more comfortable I am. That said, I don't lose anything. At the same time, I'm looking forward to the 14-15" iPad.
Thank you… still considering and you helped me. Cheers.
I have been waited for the smaller phone since years then finally replaced my iPhone XS by 13 mini.
Its best phone i had ever, 5.4" is still big enough screen to write emails, posts on socials and watching YT videos or gaming. No more larger phone ever if possible.
It lays in pocket perfectly no matter you're in work or on sport activities like running or biking, and completely no issues with battery working time - one day of very active up to two days when i am not using phone a lot.
