As a note - all cinematic mode is on the 13 mini. Any mentions of 12 mini cinematic are a TYPO!
Not yet. Once my CZcams channel performs then maybe from income. Because primarily I need iphone for my CZcams video only. Until then will shoot on my G7.
12 mini looks clean and more natural and balanced
Lol thts makes no point dude
I like the 12mini I got a green color
💯
Great overview and comparison! Liked seeing the new cinematic video mode in action
Is that a mode you think you would use a lot? I found it’s results to be pretty impressive (especially for a small phone) when the subject and background isn’t too complicated. You can see how it struggled with hair and other smaller details in some of my examples.
Great comparison! Thanks for all the good info!
Thanks for checking it out. I plan on doing a more detailed review in the next few days!
Thank you for the comparisons!
Looking for this kind of review. Luckily found yours. Thanks
You’re welcome, glad it helped!
Nice comparison! One thing I was curious about was the color tone of the display (12 vs 13). In the portion of your video where you were comparing the base storage…and had the phones side-by-side, it looked like the 13 has a “ cooler” display (ie the 12 looked like a warmer tone). I was not a fan of the warmer tones in general across the 12 line last year. So, if things have “cooled” a bit for the 13…great!
It might be ever so slightly cooler, but nothing I instantly noticed.
Great video. You’re good at it
Awesome comparison. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! It was a bit tricky to get the comparison done so quickly but I have a more detailed camera show-down coming out soon if you wanted to learn more!
I’ve had the 12 Mini for a year now and I love this phone but I’m considering upgrading to 13 Mini, I’m also eyeing the 13 Pro for the 3X lens
The 3x lens would probably be the main reason I would want to get the max over the mini. I would say, if you have the 12 mini, going to the 13 mini, you won’t feel too much of a difference.
I’m eyeing the 12 I got the 12 mini
Helpful Content thanks Bro❤️
great review 💕
Thanks for watching! Hope it helped!
Nice video. Didn't notice any significant camera upgrades between the 12 mini and 13 mini. Good honest review
When looking at the side by sides, I notice the biggest difference in high contrast or tricky lighting as well as low light of course. Likewise, I actually prefer that HDR look of the 13 mini video. Lots of color info to play with.
I’ll be sharing a more detailed video camera comparison soon.
@@paulAntill I think the 13 mini overbrightens and exaggarates the colors.
iphone 13 mini's front camera is having the wrong dynamic contrast resolution.The colors seem whiter and Hdr is on continuously.
Overall, the front facing camera doesn’t seem to have improved on the 13 mini. Maybe slightly different, but not much. I have a very detailed camera comparison between the two coming out tomorrow morning.
Change it lol
Nice video!! Going to get the IPhone 13 as an upgrade from the SE (first generation) a very much needed upgrade. Subbing for photography and camera content!!
Just done same.
I can understand why someone upgrades each time a new line of phones comes out but that’s not me.
I look to get 5-6 years out of my Apple stuff (also an iPad/MacbookPro/iMac guy) and it was time for the iPhone to be changed.
So, I’m expecting a big difference from the cameras especially.
@@keithedwinsmith9416 Yeah exactly!
Same here upgraded my iphone se first gen.
12 Mini cases generally do not fit the 13 Mini. Your 12 mini case must been designed with extra space around the camera bump.
Those shots look great! Thanks for the detailed comparison! I think the 13 mini might be good for me too.
Awesome! What are you planning on upgrading from?
@@paulAntill I’m going from the iPhone 11, to an iPhone 13 mini. Tired of big annoying phone in the pocket, besides i have an iPad and iMac
@@nikverschuren4291That would have been my thought too. I had the iPhone 11 before the 12 mini. I only originally upgraded because it got lost in a river. But I immediately preferred the smaller size of the mini, but didn't love the smaller battery. The 13 mini seems to have made good improvements here.
This is what I call a perfect review. Keep it up bro ❤️
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
Thanks! I got more comparisons coming soon!
@@paulAntill waiting ❤️❤️🔥
Wait those the iPhone 12 mini have cinematic mode? I thinked only iPhone 13 mini,iPhone 13, iPhone 13 pro and iPhone 13pro max
Spellbound! 👍🏻👍🏻
I read that the mous case for the 12 mini doesn’t fit with the 13 mini. Mous sent me a 13 mini case for free when I emailed them to arrange to send my 12 mini case back for an exchange after I sent back my 12 mini. I’m getting a replacement 12 mini, since I got to keep the 12 mini case as well. If I still get problems with the 12 mini I’ll send it back and get a 13 mini instead so I will test the 13 mini mous case on my 12 mini when that arrives tomorrow.
Got myself the 13 mini. If ever we get a 14 mini or pro ver next year, this might be the 1st time i upgrade in only a year
i got the 13 mini as well, I'm committing to it for the 2 years and see what's what with the iPhone 15 (if its called that). other than that i am happy to keep the 13 mini if it still holds up and software is supported
@@GoodnightMrDoback Apple will definitely be supporting the 13 for a long time :D .For me, the battery is alright but I don't think it will be enough once I start to travel again. I know we now have the magsafe powerbanks but it will still be good if the battery goes up. AND that Camera system in PRO would be great with the Mini. Other than that, more than happy with why I really bought it - the form factor!
@@GoodnightMrDoback well Apple typically supports for at least 6 years. I upgraded from SE 1st gen from 2016 to 13 mini this year. iPhone SE 1st gen has latest iOS 15.1, same as that 13 mini.
iOS is not Android, where makers typically forget that they made that phone just 2 years ago.
Great shots...
A quick word on the battery life / drain in your daily usage as compared to the 12 mini would be most useful practically..
How do you rate the battery life in comparison with the 12 mini?
So far, without any definitive testing, it does seem that the 13 mini is not draining battery as fast. With the outdoor camera comparison for example, while not a perfect apples to apples, the 13 mini drained less battery even though I shot more photos and videos on it. I can’t gauge how much better it is yet, but i am noticing it’s benefits so far.
I seem to agree with tessoro. The 13 mini upgrade is only worth it for someone who just wants a new phone without any reason and thinks it’s ok making apple richer by $2-300 for that. Lol
@Tessoro Desoto The justification is in the battery longevity too. Larger batteries die slower. My X that I bought in 2017 is on 79%. My 12 mini is already on 88% and it's less than a year. A larger battery on 13 means you can probably keep the phone a year or two longer.
@@visheshb Yeah I also think it's not worth the extra money, 200 more for 15% more battery life and slightly better processor and camera. Also seems to me that the vertically deeper notch is worse than the wider but slimmer one on the 12. As for the battery, on a regular day I'll have like 2 hours screen on time, so anything with more than 6 sot is more than enough, plus it's a small battery so charging it shouldn't take long.
For the same price you can either get a 12 mini or a 11, and when comparing those two, the 12 mini is a clear winner. The 13 mini seems more like a 12 mini s.
Just upgraded from the XS to a Product Red 13 Mini. I knew I was swapping my XS this year, as it's about to lose the latest iOS, but its battery health (or lack of it) hastened the upgrade.
Using a bumper and MagSafe grip - not a fan of full cases - and have already got myself quite a few MagSafe accessories. These include a portable charging stand that I can use on the go, and to trigger Standby Mode when I'm home.
Thanks for the content.
i just bought a 12mini refurb from apple. really wanted the 13mini but couldn't spend the $200 more. i am a photographer who recently lost use of 1 hand so my pro camera bodies / lenses are somewhat useless now. i thought i would see an improvement in the 13 but i actually like the colors better and ability to to not crush the highlights of the 12 mini. i don't do paid jobs anymore but wanted something for family and such. ( i really wanted the 14 pro but that was almost $600 more than the 12 mini ) your transition between images comparing the 2 was way too fast. hold them for at least 5 seconds to hit pause and really look. also wished you had done some low light shots. thanks for the comparison.
Great video
in ur opinion what the best phone to buy ?
I never thought I’d get an IPhone, & that changed when I saw the 11. I ended up getting a SE 2020. I now am asking my parents for an iPhone 12 mini or an iPhone 13 mini for my birthday in July!
Can you please tell me which one (in your own opinion) gives a more true to life colors when it comes to taking photos. Your answer is very much appreciated.
I think the 12 mini.
*#* THE REASON THIS VIDEO GOT MORE VIEWS IS BECAUSE THIER IS A SALE IN INDIA IN WHICH THE IPHONE 12 MINI HAS A HUGE DISCOUNT SO PEOPLE ARE WATCHING IPHONE 12 MINI VIDEOS 🎥
UR CONTENT IS AMAZING !!!
The iPhone 12 mini actually looked a lot better on video
🤣
Great comparison video! Thanks for sharing. I have a question on the 13 mini's frontal camera -- i got 13 mini and just realized the straight line blur effect that comes from light source is significantly noticable under room lights when I'm on the front camera. Do you see the same thing on your 13 mini as well? My iphone x's frontal camera wasn't this bad, so I'm actually thinking this might be a defect that my new 13 mini has.. any comments will be helpful! Thanks!
I get some pretty strong lens flaring on the rear camera of the 13 mini, maybe even more than the 12 mini. As far as the front cameras, it also might be the same. I don't have any actual blurring however.
Is the problem with all lighting?
Definetly 12 mini for me ✌🏻😁
Refurbished 👏
The battery to the 12mini wasn’t great but I guess solid. The 13mini gets me through a full day with heavy use.
@@JumpFloater4 oof just the comment I’ve been looking for..I’m coming from the SE tho…if that means anything….
@@Miguel-ve1lh means a lot the se has even a smaller battery than the Mini so no matter which way u go is a upgrade
I actually went from 12 mini to 13 mini and I feel like I should’ve just upgraded my battery on 12 mini lol doesn’t feel much different and I actually preferred the notch on the 12 mini because it was less deep so it showed more screen space for apps that black out the pixels on the top, didn’t really care about the icons as you don’t reallly use them just look at them up there
I have reached the point were waiting 2 years for an upgrade is perfectly fine with me. I shall keep the 12 Mini and await the 2022 editions! Great video!!!
There won't be an iPhone 14 mini, it will be discontinued. iPhone 13 will be the last mini and definitely worth upgrading, battery life is so much better.
@@JustStarcraft2 this the second time I’ve heard about the battery life, I may consider it.
The 12 mini’s photos seems that be a lot bluer (more saturated?) than 13 mini? Would you go for 12 mini for the photo colour?
you can always have photo editor app in your phone
I have it. The one thing I don’t like is still the battery. Due to the size, it means a lot of charging. That’s a lot of charging cycles. That would mean the battery will degrade faster than the other 13 iPhones.
front facing color much better 12 mini ...but u should try with a different unit of the 13 mini...
well im buying my 128 gig iphone 12 mini at 499 dollars and i think its a nice deal...and umm i wanna ask if its a major deal for me in 12 mini regarding battery or its fine like im not a gamer and will use my phone for some outdoor activities and for camera like im a minimilist type of user and can u tell me if its good at 499 bucks?
I upgraded my iPhone 12 mini to the 13 mini and I’m in love 😍
How much difference did you pay for the upgrade? Is it really that much worth it? Seems like apart from that little but extra battery the rest doesn’t in practice seem to be worth it. Seems more like very slight technical differences that one would never really notice. Next year there should be much more significant improvements and that time the pro versions will really make things look significantly better in real life situations.
Me too, love the size of the mini……perfect edc.
i got the 12 mini im going to everntually get a 13 mini and keep the 12 as backup
@@thebest12700 bruh I got the 12 mini and the 13 mini lol they ain’t making them any more
Great Review Mate!! Keep going!! iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 12 which one you would choose?
I personally love the size of the mini. If it was between the two, even if I could have the 12 pro, I would still go for the 13 mini.
@@paulAntill thanks Paul! I will share my experience with it too!!
@@paulAntill does 13 mini battery life is really better than regular 12 ?
wait 12 mini can do cinematic too ? @ 5:52
12 mini looks better in skin tone and 13 mini is better at sky. Which device do you suggest to buy in 2022?
12 mini has pretty colour quality than 13
I didn’t know that 12 mini have cinematic mode
Is the space on the camera bigger in iphone 13 mini ? Thank you !
Starts at 128gb
I don't care if Apple made the Mini 1mm thicker
I will take any upgrade to the battery
dude, wtf, i have that exact same t shirt😭✨
Hye bro,, my wrist is paining since I started using 13 mini.. upgraded from iphone 8... is it bcz of form factor or anything else???
It's interesting that you mention that. I think I had that issue too when I first went from the iPhone 11 to the 12 mini. I think it went a way after a bit and I got used to holding it differently so it was more comfortable.
@@paulAntill how long will it take to get used to my hands..? Approx...
im hesitant between the iphone 13 mini and the iphone 12 mini. a festive sale is about to start here in my country which is why the prices are about to drop.
Beware!, iPhone 12 mini cases do not work with the 13 mini!
12 mini has cinematic mode?
The 12 mini doesn’t have cinematic mode so a bit confusing there.
So in your opinion what is best 💯💯... 12 /13 mini
Sensor shift is on Wide not Ultra wide.
How did you turn on the cinematic mode on iPhone 12 mini?
Hey - like I shared in the pinned comment, that is a typo. Any mention of the cinematic mode is shot on the 13mini.
Hey Paul. Thanks for the comparison.
I am a 12 Mini user since day of its launch.
I click alot of pictures outdoors during day as well as night.
How much of an improvement is the 13 mini for still photography. I do a lot of still photography.
From animals, to parks, trees ( nature )
To food - with good lighting and stuff.
The reason I am not going for the 13 Pro is only it’s size.
So again -
Is the 13 Mini worth an upgrade from the 12 mini just for photography and a bit of videography?
So... if you absolutely must have the best, then yes, the 13 mini does offer some decent improvements. I think it is stronger in dynamic range, handling harsh lighting as well as in low-light.
I think without much editing, the images look more pleasing and rich. Likewise, autofocus speed and reliability seem on-par.
With editing, both can look similar, but the 13 mini still has those improvements in the conditions I mentioned. While I would not exclusively upgrade solely for camera improvements, they are decent.
Let me know if that helped and if you have any other questions!
@@paulAntill thanks a ton for your detailed answer. Really really appreciate that !
Ps - somehow forgot to subscribe. Doing that right away 😊 👍
Aye I don’t care what anybody thinks of the mini I like it. But I do want my screen bigger so I’ll eventually get the regular 12
I just need saddle brown case for iphone 13 mini to upgrade.
should i go from iphone 7 to 13 mini straight? im pretty much used to the smaller phone.
Yes!! The body size of iPhone 13 is smaller than iPhone 7 but the screen is bigger. It’s worth the upgrade.
Can you do iPhone 13 mini vs iPhone 13 pro Max .
I did change my mind on the iPhone 13 mini I did get iPhone 13 pro Max
It's the last iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini next no iPhone 14 mini because they failed
How much SOT u getting on the 13 mini compared to 12 mini?
I've had it for a few more days now. I'm estimating about an hour at least. Hard to do a perfect apples to apples. Where i noticed it most was in my camera comparison where the 13 mini drained far less battery than the 12 mini.
I'm so confused 6:00.... was that a typo? As far as I'm aware, the iPhone 12 doesn't have cinematic mode...
Correct. This is a typo. I added the note to the pinned comment and replied to a few other comments as well noticing this. I wish I could add a little annotation on the video itself.
@@paulAntill Oh okay, got it. I don't see that part of the pinned comment unless I click "read more". But thanks for clarifying.
I really hate that they don't offer the same green this year.
I know! Was a big fan of that color! Blue isn’t too bad. But if I’m being honest, I actually forgot the color of my phone because I have a black case on it that covers the whole phone. Lol
My love you mini the best mini 😍
is it me or the 12 mini canera is better than 13 in this video?
At times, it really felt like it was!
wait. iphone 12 mini has the cinematic mode as well??
No it’s a typo. I made a note of that in my pinned comment. Only the 13 can shoot cinematic mode.
Which case is That on 3:32
But there is still a lot of compromises for 700 800$ you phones like x70 pro plus who have 4 high quality cameras with ziess optics & gimbals. In 2021 even 500$ phones have 120hz display & triple camera setups. & that notch it's so 1st gen. The whole world has moved to under display fingerprint sensors also 4 gb ram is never enough when phones half its price come with 8 to 12 gb ram. The mini feels like a phone from 4 years ago. It should atleast have 6gb ram 3 cameras a fingerprints sensor & a 90 or 120hz panel those are basic things in 2021
I have had tested those kind of phones with those “better” specs. For whatever reason, iPhones and iOS, just feels more polished, efficient and snappy. Apple’s bionic chips make a huge difference. RAM and raw specs do not tell the full story. And every phone that I’ve tested that had additional cameras was always gimmicky and never looked good in anything past great lighting. A 120hz would be great as would an in screen finger print sensor, but that would just be icing on the cake for me.
Let me know if you have any other questions or thoughts on them and I’ll try to help.
Bruh, 12 mini cinematic mode @6:33. LoL
Lol. I found that typo after I posted it! Obviously its the 13 mini, but good catch!
I’m switching from iPhone 12 Pro to this 13 Mini Starlight 128gb
I like the size of the mini series more. Just a lot easier to pack and use. What’s your main reason for making the switch?
@@paulAntill smaller notch, better battery life, lower price
Agreed to switch to the needs ❤️💕
@@ilyagalinsky It's the last iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini next no iPhone 14 mini because they failed
@StarLight Yes, 30 Minutes more
I liked 12 mini more 🙊
Not worth changing to the 13 mini from the 12 mini. It wouldn’t be an upgrade lol.
what do you guys suggest me 12mini or 13mini for buying
If the price difference is only $100 or less, I say go with the 13 mini as its better value considering all its upgrades and new features.
13 mini ate that camera comparison though
Hey brother,I have a question so if u see this please answer..I am getting the iphone 12 mini at 510dollars here in india.but I want to buy the 13 mini..I know I can get the 12mini at a really cheap price..but I want to get the best mobile..so which one would u recommend?
Honestly, if you can get a good deal on the 12 mini, I would say it’s better to save the money and NOT get the 13 mini. Overall, they are so similar, you likely won’t notice.
@@paulAntill thanks for replying first of all..I am actually on a budget android phone rnw..and the only things I am concerned about are those battery backup issues and performance.. thats why I am confused
You can get a day off battery life if youre not heavy gamer man
Just curious as I've not heard many iPhone 12 mini users say, what kind of screen on time were you getting with it? I'm considering getting a 12 mini because they are about $300 on Amazon renewed. My only reservation is battery life.
Go with 12
This was a helpful comparison. Found that the 13 series has a pale look with Caucasian skin tones - the 12 series does a better job there.
lmao damn i wish i hadn’t gotten a 12mini 😅 eh i’m still happy with it :)
In my opinion the camera has better colors on 12 👍🏼😂
I think the 13 mini is more rich and handles tricky lighting much better. Its not a game changer, but it is noticeable to me. Would I upgrade just for that reason, not really, but I do appreciate it!
12 mini !!!
12 mini has cinematic mode? Am I wrong?
No. It was a typo that I corrected in my Pinned comment. Sorry for the confusion.
Iphone 12 mini or iPhone 11 which is best for college users for 4years
The 12 mini is more future proof and has better value than an iphone 11. Unless you find a really, really good deal on the 11, I think the 12 mini is the better choice.
iPhone 12 mini has cinematic mode?
Typo... It's 13 mini
12 mini doesn't have cinematic mode
I had iPhone Xs before 12 mini, hated the front camera on 12 mini
why
@@tobezzz404 Xs was so much better, I prefer the size of 12mini though.
TBH iPhone mini isn’t that good. I’m disappointed that the 13 mini power and volume buttons are in the same area as the 12 mini. The buttons are stiff causing me to accidentally take screen shots when I’m just trying to raise the volume. I also hate the battery life because it dies super quick. At least the charging is fast depending what charger you use. I love apple but what you said in the beginning of the video is kinda true. iPhones are a bit over priced
Bruh..what size you finger and hand are? Its sounds weird you can accidently take a screen shot
the 12 mink is 679€ and the 13 mini is 729€, worth the extra money?
with 128gb on both
Love You 12 Mini ❤
My love you mini ❤️
I m going to buy both for my personal number and business ✅
The photographs and video of the 13 mini seem to be taken with a Samsung
5.50 12 Mini Cinematic mode?
Thanks for catching that Typo! That was the 13 mini in Cinematic mode. 1080 30fps.
Got a 13 mini coming from an XR. Couldn’t be happier ✌️
me 12mini coming from Xr lol
@@jarenmilliner6637 is it good overall?
@@itzmeelena7280 yes. Same exact specs/preformance as the 12. Here i am a year later and still rocking with it. Battery still at 96 percent battery health
Everything in the 13 mini looks overexposed. Makes me want to get the 12 mini
As far as video goes, that is HDR doing its magic and can easily be adjusted. For photos, the 12 mini has a tendency to actually be brighter. When compared to side by side, the 13 mini is cleaner and sharper. Especially when you zoom in, these differences are more apparent.
If deciding between the two, I would say if the prices are close, the 13 mini, beyond just the camera upgrades, is the better choice.
13 Mini be a winner... all is done!
iPhone 13 mini is the real smart phone 📱
Should I go for the mini or 13 (from xr )
If you like the compact size of the mini, the 13 mini offers the best value right now. Its a great upgrade from the XR, but not a must have, if that makes sense.
What’s better to buy iPhone 12 (128gb) or iPhone 13 mini (128gb)?
13 mini is better value right now. Newer and some new features. Nothing too dramatic, but it is the better buy still.
@@paulAntill coming from an SE, would the battery life on the 12 mini be an improvement? I know it’s not as good as the 13 but would the SE user be able to notice the difference?
The notch on the 13 mini is smaller than the one on the 12 mini.
Doesn’t really make a difference. It’s not like you can see more information in that little piece of screen.
But it’s taller
i bought today 12 mini for 550cad (%99 battery life and 8 months more warranty) its very light and durable
12 mini so better optic stabilization on camera video
