Bigger is not always better. In fact, if the case of the new iPhone 13 mini, great things come in small packages. In this review I’ll break down why I love this mini iPhone, and why I believe it can be your GadgetMatch too.

Hope Apple will continue with the mini form factor, as an alternative for us who want to have a break from all these gargantuan phones.
exactly... we still love iPhone 5/5s/OG SE and new mini... i hope they don't stop making them...
They probably already have next year’s iPhones mapped out.Rumour has it that there will be a non pro 6.1” and 6.7” Max to replace the mini.
Me too. Hopefully more people go out and buy one so Apple has incentive to keep doing it.
I only wanna watch reviews of the iPhone 13 mini, I don’t care about the regular 13 or 13 promax. I want to see the iPhone 13 mini do well.
i think they will still continue the Mini version, but in the different name for next model
I never understood why people like having a tablet on their pockets, mini versions are the best! Its a phone not a frigging iPad lol
I wouldn't say that minis are the best, but the larger phones look like something that can easy break and barely fit in a pocket.
Sleek
i think phablets are for people who can't afford buying a separate device with bigger screen. not everyone has a phone, tablet, laptop, TV, and PC at the same time although each are slightly better at doing certain things.
Agreed
You actually do lol
i think an iPad Mini would be the perfect complement for this phone, for when you're just laying on the couch messing around. mini phone for when you're out, mini iPad for when you're in.
I think iPhone 13 mini is the best phone Apple has ever made, the prettiest too 🤘🏼
I see you're watching a bunch of iPhone 13 mini videos too lol we're commenting the same videos because we're so in awe of this phone ;-)
@@meine.wenigkeit im obsessed with it. Every video i watch, i express how much i love it lol im also trying to spread awareness of how awesome it is so Apple can eventually come back to the mini form. After having the 6s, 8 plus, 11 pro, i find the 13 mini to be the most to my liking out of all of them
@@nativerambler9818 😂👍 Totally doing the same! I’m also a big mini lover! ✌️💪👍
I’ve always had big iPhones. I always thought the bigger the better. But today I just got my iPhone 13 mini and I just can’t get enough of it. It is SO CUTE and SO AWESOME to be able to do everything with one hand. It so enjoyable. This thing is adorable and the screen size is not too small at all!!
I traded my new 14pro in on a mini, and same as you: pure joy!
Can very comfortably say that for me at least MJ 's Reviews have become as important as Marques' and Michael Fisher especially his deep dives....totally in for these long format reviews. You are now one of my top 3 TechTubers Michael (hope that's the right spelling, always confused with Fisher). Keep up the great work. Really wanna see you hit 1 mil at least by mid-2022.
Just got my mini on Wednesday. I love it so far. I’m a girl with small hands and my hands hurt after a while of holding a bigger phone. Battery lasts all day, pictures are great, and the storage is plenty for me. My only complaint is I got the pink and I wish it was a little darker pink. It’s a very subtle shade of pink that looks white in a lot of lighting.
Just bought mine today. Got the blue one and the pictures are breathtaking. That made me give up my big ass phone and the size is perfect!
I just got mine yesterday. I've had phablets since the OG galaxy note, but the 12 pro max broke me of that habit lol. My wrists kept getting sore and any kind of one handed use was just impossible. I even gave myself a fat lip dropping it on my face once. And I wasn't even using it to it's full capabilities either, all I do is read reddit, listen to podcasts, and take pictures of my kid so what the hell do I need a huge top-spec phone for? I downsized to the 12 pro but even that was still a bit too weighty. The 13 mini was kind of an impulse buy but I'm enjoying it so much. It feels like the ideal size for a phone and it's so cute too! Starlight is just gorgeous, it looks different in every light. I don't really feel like I'm giving anything up either, it's still very much a flagship. Yeah it would be nice to have macro mode, but I'll live. For my needs, it really is the perfect phone.
Hi there,i do have note 20 ultra too and i am thinking of going for iphone 13 mini,is it a good choice or will i be regretting...??.what i am worrying most is a battery life 🤔🤔,thanks in advance for your opinion and enjoy your phone 🙏🙏.
I own an older 6. Your video was perfect, it addressed everything I wanted to know. Excellent work, thank you.
Great review! This does makes me consider getting a mini in the future! The compactness seems very comfy in the hands.
Great video Michael, you are so organized. I hope the miniseries sticks around for a while. There is still a market for small smart phones.
Right on MJ, good job… your message and POV are spot on as usual and your channel is among the best for sure take care be well and looking forward to your next episode…
I got my mini a few days ago and it's so good! the size is literally perfect. It has handy but has enough screen space. I love it
how was the battery going of this phone?
@@notsifat battery’s doing a very good job, only having this 13 mini since sunday but i took off from the charge this morning at 6.15AM.
Now it’s 11.15PM and it has 41% battery with almost 5h screen on time.
so far so good
@@ai-iu9sn thanks for sharing
I am going to get the mini. Thanks for the review i was waiting for this
With all the upgrades this could apples best seller.. adding sensor shift stabilization , 128gigs, improved battery,bigger camera lens, ..kinda feel like a mini 12 pro
Because of poor 12 mini sales, I think Apple already decided there won't be a 14 mini no matter what; not enough time now to develop a 14 mini for a Fall 2022 release. However, if 13 mini has positive sales and reception, Apple could release another "mini" phone in a couple years, similar to the gap between the 2016 SE and 12 mini in 2020. So might as well upgrade to 13 mini now. Really looking forward to getting mine
9:10 I remember when iphones first started coming with 16GB standard. The relief from 8 GB was immense
For me, the best content creator when it comes to gadget reviewing. congrats in advance michael josh. hope to continue guide us on the upcoming. road to 1M guys! help him to reach it before year ends.
Thanks for the video. When you did the 12/13 camera comparisons, it would have been much better if you'd filled up the screen with two half-screen side by side shots rather than the smaller images you showed. It was difficult to compare.
Great video. Thanks for all the hard work and efforts that you place in all of your videos.
Thanks man. A lot of blood, sweat and tears, and very little sleep goes into them. So means a lot.
Like you, I bought the iPhone 13 mini for daily carry and the iPhone 13 Pro to use as an iPod at home. If I travel and need telephoto, I switch to my iPhone 13 Pro. I love having a smaller phone that fits in my coat pocket and it keeps it warm. Mini perfect for active people.
@@emward6858 yeah that person's weird and I think they are lying
We hope the iPhone 13 mini will be a bestseller because we really want an Iphone mini Pro in 2022.
Your videos are sensational, especially for your way, you are amazing 🔥
I was smiling throughout the video not because of the iphone 13 mini but because of how MJ reviewed the phone. Great as always! 😍 So organized.
When Apple announced IPhone 12 mini, I went running and got me one. I love it. Been waiting for this phone size. I have a Mac and IPad, I don’t see the point of getting a huge phone. I know I am skipping iPhone 13 fn since it’s not practical but for those who are getting a phone. I bet this is a banger. I hope that they’ll keep mini in the iphone 14.
I've watched some videos about iphone 13 mini and imo yours is the best, comprehensive and brief at the same time, great job! Really love it 'till I decided to click the subscribe button hihi 😍 Looking forward to other videos!
Dude. You are an epic cinematographer. Your B Roll is delicious
Just got my mini today. I upgraded from a 6+ an I'm so in love with it (especially cinema mode)
Congrats. That's a huge upgrade 😂
"Whatever the size, you'll get use to it." Wise words!
eagerly waiting for your pro and pro max reviews. I am still trying to decide between the two. thank you!!!!
Had my iPhone 13 mini for a week now, gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised. Loving it
is it small for practical use? or just right for you?
@@VS-yk3gu just right. But if u watch a lot of movies on ur phone then this isn't for u.
The iPhone 13 mini is totally MY GadgetMatch! ☺️ I will get the mini in Product Red and 256GB this year, upgrading from my 3 years old XR.
That’s what I did too
AM thinking about that Product RED one too.
Is it worth it from xr to 13 mini?
@@muhdakmal795
Of course it is! That formfactor alone would be worth the switch but the mini has also an OLED display unlike the XR. And there is the way better camera system!
@@gadgetmatch
Since now I always had a black or space grey iPhone (3GS, 4S, 5S, 6S, XR) but this deep blood red looks just great! After the last 1,5 years, I think I could do with a little color in my life! ✌️😷🎈
Watching this on my iPhone 12 Mini. The battery life isn’t too bad. But if the 13 Mini is the last of its kind, I will be upgrading. The Mini is my favorite iPhone since the 4s!
4S was my first iPhone. Just got the 13mini and it feels perfect. Couldn't ask for a better phone. And the Forest Green is lush and rich, best color ever.
At last the most authentic pronunciation of the word chassis, thank you !
Just got mine right now, still setting it up and already love it.
Was looking for a review right on time
Hope it helps.
Been using this phone for the last 3 months. One of the best iPhones I have ever used after 8plus.
Fast/amazing camera/perfect fit in pocket & handy. Battery life is really good, Donna why people complain.
Finally::: waiting for iPhone 14…..
Love your review. Great work!!
Hey MJ ! Great video as always!! I have the 13 promax and the mini and I quite agree its very appealing and for me its a classic!!! and of course Gadget Match's seal of approval!!!
Excellent review, thanks!!
Just got the mini. I am a SFF enthusiast, so I had to get one. Wish it had a bit more battery capacity, but I'm also a heavy user. So I have my screen on all day and play videos for a couple of hours straight and it lasts me most of the day.
Love your reviews
Great review !thanks
Best review yet
Just got my iphone 12 mini and I'm loving it. ❤️. Saved some money for few tweaks
Good work !
This video helped me choose 13mini, I like a small phone… no issues so far with this phone
I think iPhone 13 mini is the best phone Apple has ever made, Hope Apple will continue with the mini with more battery improvements
Got mine few days ago in blue and im loving it!
Great work, I bought the midnight / navy one, based on your review
This tech channel deserves more than a million subs.
you get my subscribe dude. best review so far!!
Thanks very helpful video. Was trying to decide on keeping my iPhone 13 or switching to the mini.
Just came across your vid and love it bro! Subbed!
Thanks for a good review. 👌👍
Nice work and review!
Thank you! Cheers!
I really enjoy using iphone 12 mini, hand friendly n not easy tired holding it for long period of time. If there is no iphone 14 mini, will reconsider back to iphone 13 mini.
I have the iPhone 12 mini also. I love the size and the battery isn’t THAT bad. I don’t like big phones so I also even find myself using my OG (2016) iPhone SE Lol.
iPhone 12 Mini gang 🙂🤘
I know there’s talk about this being the last mini year, but hopefully they’ll update it every 3/4 years like the SE
Fantastic review. Subbed!
Dear Josh
I like your presentations very much! 🎉 Hope to get the iPhone 13 mini in midnight colour too!
Great review:)
Planning to renew my Globe postpaid plan in February 2022 with iPhone 13 mini pink.
I've been with my cell phone for 6 months. The battery is still 100%. It doesn't have faults. It's perfect. The only thing missing is its 120 hz screen is everything
Very informative. Tnx
Phone & tablet size has disproportionately risen lately when they were always originally intended to be small, the iPhone mini 13 & the iPad mini 6 are the perfect combination of fully functioning lightweight powerful products in a compact portable format, expensive yes but totally unique & niche.
This years iPhone 13 mini is the best phone purchase I’ve made in years. If apple stop releasing subsequent models, imma horde this phone
Hey MJ, maybe you've been forgot to share the link of the article of how can a new buyer uses i Cloud service provided by i phone.
That sweatshirt is amazing... I know you link all your tech gear, but where did you get that shirt from?!
I had the iphone 12 mini then did a dummy move to android. They have security issues and have not yet fixed them. My iphone 13 mini is on its way! Casetify case for it is coming as well! I'm super stoked!!!
Got my pink iPhone 13 mini Tuesday love it

10:27 it's true? The ultra wide angle camera 1.8 aperture in the 13 mini? Congrats 👏 nice video!
🎯, exactly why I getting the mini perfect for running 👏🏾
This guy is really a mood booster ...
Awww. TBH, I know people always say that, so much so that I always hope to be a uplifting to others. But while previewing this last video I could see how much less energy I had (it's been 2 intense, sleep deprived weeks). Glad to know the positivity still came across.
@@gadgetmatch Really enjoy ur content man ... just being honest
For tho. He’s has positive vibes
Your reviews are next level! Great work! :)
Thanks a ton! Really appreciate it.
I have the 13 pro and was looking for a second one …. A 13! Seeing this review I’ve decided on the mini due to the pocketability
Glad I was able to help.
You must be very rich
@@ruuddoniyoga7077 Might be for a work phone; a lot of people carry two phones and your job will usually cover the expense
Really great review 😊
Thanks for watching
@@gadgetmatch ☺️👊🏼
i love your sweater🖤
This guy is simply delightful!
nice to know that the regular 13 is having 3240 mAh battery. i thought that it was 3095 mAh. looking forward to the iP13 regular review
Mini phone & mini reviewer, made for each other.
I've got the pink version of the otterbox case no problems with it not with magsafe not working I've magsafe car wireless charger it's the same with that too x love my 13 mini in red ❤️
Its 2023 and I am rewatching this video. I have 13 and thinking to get the mini.
I use to have the iPhone 12 mini and I loved it mindless the battery, it had liquid damaged and I had to swap it to a new one I felt that it would be a great idea to go for a normal sized Iphone but I regret it so much that I wanted until today so I could traded it in with the 13 mini and I'm happy with the decision!
And this gets me.. you just pronounced SPIGEN the way I never knew! Hahaha. Thank you! =)
Does the 13 mini have better sales than last year 12 mini?
I have the 13 pro and tbh, it’s still pretty hefty in the hands and pocket. I had the 13 but decided to upgrade. Tbh if they had the 13 mini with everything the pro series has, it would have been game over. Pro max series are just too big, especially if you already have an IPad. If you don’t own an iPad then I understand why you go with the max size
I f'n LOVE my 13 mini!!! I genuinely don't believe it'll be the last one. After people get their hands on them they'll grow in popularity. People didn't put hands on the 12 mini and many people who would want a small phone just bought a budget phone. Budget phone people don't upgrade each year. I'm praying to Steve Jobs that the 13 mini gets sold to the point that apple continues the size.
yes I’ll definitely purchase a newer version of iphone mini after 5 years
Nice. I’m watching with my iPhone 12. I will wait for the 14
I'm on day 2 with my new iPhone 13 mini (coincidentally the same color), and I'm really loving it. Loved my OG 2016 iPhone SE (bought in 2018), but wow... what an upgrade! Haha
im curious if after a month you are leaning more or less away from iphone 13.
I got my iPhone 13 mini and I don’t want to buy bigger iPhones again! At first it looks small, but it is actually bigger than it looks because of its full screen aspect and super comfortable handle. Finally, I love the battery life, which lasts 10 hours of continuous use!
i had SE 2022..horrible batteru backup..looking forward for 13 mini.currently have pixel 4a.i must say it is a complete package of perfomance and power...
Thank you so much for posting, I'm off to buy the 13 mini now.
im already have mini 12.. should i go to mini 13? camera, battery hmmm
I wish they could make their minis a little bigger and lighter. It weighs the same as my pixel 4a but has a smaller screen and is thicker.
I love pro level camera in a phone ...
But i need very light phone...
Heavy phone like max is a torture for hand.
Am i sacrificing a lot from pro max / pro in terms of camera ?
Thank you
I wish they bring back to life my all time favorite the iPhone 4
Great presentation
