ATTENTION PLS! Hey! I got an updated video on this! Watch it watch it 😁 - czcams.com/video/4j8KqOSc1VA/video.html
You changed my mind
Just 5 years back 5.5 inch were called Plus model.. now 5.4 inch is called Mini.. Times changed
keep in mind that they still had a "plus-sized" body though, mainly because of larger bezels
we used to call those "Phablets", because they were closer to tablet size. Times have changed for sure

Oh you were talking about phones
@@sqshq1337 LOL u got me weak bruh
iPhone 5s was and will always be my favorite and the 12/13 mini has always felt like a beautiful revamp. The smaller phones will always have my heart
They just make more sense, I wish I could have a 5s with the power of the newer phones.
I sincerely hope you bought the 1st gen iPhone SE... The perfect micro iPhone. (Essentially a 6S inside a 5S enclosure.) Still works fine to this day... pretty much. (I just finally upgraded from it to the 13 mini.)
@@mrhobs I have the 13 mini, hopefully they can keep the size of that line.
@@mrhobs I still have that phone. Battery is pretty bad though after the last upgrade.
@@marvw4166 Yeah, as I said, I've been using it until Oct 1st, just recently. I've definitely noticed a big improvement when moving to the 13 mini. Part of that is how well used the SE is, and part of it is just how much older the tech is and how much smaller the battery is. It was still functional enough I suppose. Got me through my 8 hr work day with light use.
Side note, its just weird how people are talking about liking the 13 mini even with its smaller screen, and how its "not that bad once you get used it," etc, but for me, its such a big upgrade from the 2016 SE that it just seems like a big screen! I love it! lol K I'm rambling...
I ordered the Mini few days ago. My first iPhone.
How is it? Please tell me your experience, I'm a true Android user and planning to switch to 13mini for first time so let me know
well, the battery could be better. but since I was fed up with Google and all the promises they never kept I can tell you that I am very happy with Apple hardware, software and eco system. Nothing really to complain.
That production value is top notch. I'm a Pixel 6 Pro user and salivating over the 13 mini for some time now. I think the Mini is a perfect size.
Thanks a bunch, Nikhil! I really appreciate that. I actually really like the 6 Pro too. But yes the usability is crazy good with this
I second this. Sammy did a great job of making it feel smaller even though on paper it may not. Only thing is the better seems to have suffered given the more power gingery soc. I’m hoping the pixel 68 rumors are true that they’re going to have a 6.2 inch device with a 5000 mA battery that would be very impressive for a smaller phone
Same
I’m a 13 Mini/13 Pro user salivating over a Pixel 6 Pro 🥴
Same. Have a P6P and the glitches and connection problems me and my wife are planning on switching back. 13 Mini looks great
I love my mini. Apple should have waited for the 13 to go mini. The poor battery life on the 12 mini is why sales were poor and that just rolled over on the 13 in my opinion. The 13 mini is nearly a perfect phone, not for everyone but for anyone who doesn't want a HUGE slab of a phone. The 13 mini is the perfect pocket phone!!!
True
Sold my 14 pro max no REGRETS reminds me of the iPhone 4. I waited at the Apple Store 24 hours to get that phone.
For me 12 mini was absolutely everything I asked for from a phone. Quick, good photos and one hand usability. If it comes to be true that there will be no 14mini I'm going to buy 4 13 minis for every one in my family so we can use minis for at least 4 years. Now we have 12 minis and they work like new ones.
a mini family...
is the battery good enough?
@@maty_7356 for me it's all day phone. But I don't play games, watch movies, or browse socials for hours on my phone...
Siema miloszzz
@@maty_7356 I have one and no it’s not
I love my 13 mini, I do wish that more android phones were introduced in the same size as everyone doesn't enjoy using a massive phone, especially when you're primarily working from home and have access to multiple screens. I used to have a Redmi 5A a few years back and loved it because of the small form factor and how handy it used to be. But, over time android has gotten so buggy and loaded with bloatware that I had to shift to Apple, and it's quite peaceful using this phone.
Totally agree, I hate big phones, I just don't see the point, if I want a bigger screen to watch stuff I use my tablet, which I can connect to my phone anyway?
How's the battery life ?
@@joedaman8436 most want big phones tho, so its not gonna happen
I still use a Redmi 4 with 5 inch display :P
True. Most Android phones have screens that are pushing 7”. That literally used to be the size of a tablet!
The one hand capability will forever be underrated. To be able to hit all four corners of your phone with one hand. Is super comfortable and inconvenient. Whenever you have to keep using 2 hands on your phone, believe it or not that takes time out of your current task because of the demand your phone needs with 2 hands.
I love my 13 mini. I haven't enjoyed using a phone this much since the 5s. If Apple stops making the mini I'm going to have to stock up on extra 13 minis.
I think the biggest issue is most carriers are not bothering to have the mini in stock. I was at a carrier store the other day there was 2 people getting the 13 because the mini wasn't in stock and the clerk told them it was better. There was another guy that came in asking for a mini but left when they didn't have it.
I agree it is not for everyone, but no phone is. My wife has a 13 Pro Max which I would never think of using. Sales of 5-7% is still 2-3 million every quarter, that is a lot of iOS users to market to. I remember when iPhones sold 12 million in a year and Steve Jobs was happy as could be. I personally hope Apple keeps the mini and makes it a separate product line from the other iPhones.
I switched over to the Pixel because they aren't going to make the mini anymore. Well that's not entirely true. I wanted to switch anyway, but knowing they're discontinuing the device definitely helped in making my decision.
Also love my 13 mini, it is easy to carry, have quite a good cameras and powerful hardware. But this phone is definitely not for the media consumption, gaming or work just because of its screen size. So I think talks about not having 14mini and so on may be true and at the same time I don't think we should really care about:
better CPU(and other hardware, like RAM or storage)? - few years old iPhones still pretty capably of doing their work, A15 shouldn't be worse
better cameras? - quality of photo now is pretty good(especially if viewed on phone or tablet), believe no PROs really consider buying mini for work
better battery? - may be, but for me 13 mini is pretty ok already (charge up to 80% in the evening and get my 35-40% at the time of next charge with ~1:40 of screen ON time, so from 100% to 0, it would definitely enough for a much more heavier whole day use)
better display? it is already good (don't see personally any difference for miniLED, 120Hz, etc)
Probably phones now are already extremely good, it hard to find something to convince to buy a new model, especially for the niche phone like this one. So it prudent to focus on other models and wait a few generations to get back to this model and present something truly new which is worth to develop, manufacture and buy.
Nice wee phone 🙂
Would like to see the SE as a new mini. Or they discontinue SE and keep the minis. Because last SE was little downgrade for this year... but maybe some people love the design and touch ID. Well... mini version is actually a good one. And after some time of using you even don't notice that big difference in size like 13 mini vs 13 regular. And cause it's 13... it's powerful
Hows the battery life ??
There should be 13 Mini Pro! That would be awesome 👌
I wiiiiiiiiish!
The 13 mini is as close to a perfect phone for me as I’ve owned. It’s nice not having a giant brick in my pocket when I’m listening to music at the gym. Other than music, I really only use my phone to make calls and text. For media and games, I have my iPad and PC.
Same! That were the reasons why I’ve switched from 14 Pro Max to 13 mini. The big one was underused.
Have had my mini for a year now. Love it, no glitches that you spoke of. It's very portable and easy to use as a newbie to Apple. After a year my battery is at 98% but I haven't noticed any major depletion in my day to day. Wish they'd bring back the Mini in future line-ups or at least improve the SE's design.
My battery health went down from 96% to 93% in less than a month WTH. And I’m not even a heavy user. Once it went down 1% after using the 20watt I switched to the 5watt and this bastard still draining down. That’s the only problem I got with it. But I’m keeping it and I’ll just have apple put a new battery in it when it’s low. The phone is killing the competition 😍
@@GenoXL74 thats normal dude, apple is a little trickster here, they keep your health at 100% for as long as possible, to sustain high satisfaction, while in reality the battery might already be at 96% or so. and once your "satisfaction" phase on the phone is over it has to somehow show you the real health and this normally does it in rapidly decreasing the health until it reaches the actual percentage. so all good not a problem with your charger, just an apple thingy
I really love my 13 mini, tbh it’s the best phone I’ve ever had. Apple won me back with this phone. I have really small hands, it’s a comfortable size for me, the cameras are great, the battery life for me is better than my S20 FE I had before this phone. Powerful little thing too, I just love it 🥰
Still I love my s20 fe Snap version ...giving tough competition to I phones....
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.
Had my iPhone 12 mini since launch and it’s been fantastic. The form factor is amazing, I just love small phones. Apple got me with this one,
never thought I would go for an iPhone but here we are.
battery health and how much backup?
@@sarimkhan7917 I have 87% battery health on the 12 mini. Picked up a 13 mini Jan 2023 which is my daily now. 97% battery health on this one. I still have the 12 mini as a back up phone incase something happens to my 13 mini.. so happy I snagged one before Apple pulled them from the shelves.
I’ve had my 13 mini for about 5 months now and I absolutely love it. I agree with what you said with regards to the phone being a complementary device as I now use my iPad more for media consumptions and other tasks like emails, a bit of Microsoft Office 365 and even video editing. The battery life is not a deal breaker for me at all as I’m not a heavy user. By the end of a long working days outside of the house where I have to rely on mobile data I found myself with at least 20% battery left, which is good enough for me.
i was thinking about trading in my iphone 13 for the mini because of the convenience of size, but like to read on my 13 a lot so would you say if i switched would it make me not want to use my phone as much? (because if it did i dont think i would want to switch anymore lol
Had the 12 Mini and wasn’t happy with it for the same reasons most ppl did. Thought the 13 mini would be the same. Got the 13 Pro until I started watching the Mini reviews and the rumor of it going away. Ran out and got one and love it! The improvements and the portability! And yes, you do need at least a tablet bc this screen is too small for everything, but for everyday in your pocket…perfect.
just ordered my iPhone 13 mini. Can't wait! No matter what the battery life is like, I know I'm going to love the small form factor. I still have my iPhone 4s, which is still to this day my favorite iteration of the iPhone.
I own 2 iPhone 4s’s which was my favourite. I also have the 13 mini and 13 pro, I use the mini because it’s far more comfortable. The 13 pro is a heavy uncomfortable brick to use so I’ll probably sell that one.
Awesome video as always Zach, one of the first tech channels I started watching. Hope all is well and hope for more videos soon, always love the production.
I have the 13 mini and I gotta say I love to compact size. Like seriously so much power in a small device! Its wild an the battery life is great I love this phone! Hope Apple keeps it around
I have been rocking an XR for the better part of two years!! That’s wild for me to think about, because I don’t usually stick with the same phone for so long.. the XR is an absolute beast. It’s so heavy and I still struggle with the size of it from time to time..
I am SO excited to upgrade to the 13 mini! I remember having an iPhone 5 and just totally being in love with it. The beautiful square design, and perfect palm fit.. something about it just felt so chic and polished. I think I’m really going to love the 13 mini for sure. 👏
I have it ! Its the best Practical phone ever.
Big plus it FITS IN MY JEANS 👖 POCKET !
I’ve had my iPhone 12 mini since about a year ago. I always carry an anker battery pack with me when I go somewhere so the battery life problem isn’t too bad for me! I love the size of this phone.
Love the editing/storying Zach - especially the word fumble cuts. It brought a chuckle and makes you so much more personable.
12 mini since day one and still going strong ! I highly subscribe to your analysis and am really sad to see this form factor will disappear from the lineup.
Also, thx a lot for your quality content !
I’ve had a 13 mini for well over a year now. Went from 12 Pro to this. And I absolutely love it. Considered 14Pro but decided to just keep my little dude.
There’s just something special about iPhone 13 minis they are so amazing at everything yet small. The pictures under direct sun are amazing too! I also wanted to see more power packed smaller. Yeah this phone is an upgrade especially if you coming back to iPhone
This has got to be the best phone review I've ever watched. I love the sound design, music selection, color grading, cinematography--- you get the idea--- Well done mate!
excellent sound and smooth, nicely flowing narration
My 12 mini has worked awesome for me.
I love how it seamlessly works with whatever I am doing. Going for a Motorcycle ride is easily fits in riding jacket pocket. Going for a mountain bike ride it is unnoticeable the weight and size to take in clothing.
I got mine used before the 13 mini came out and I haven't had any glitches like you mentioned.
My "Battery Health" is down to 87% But like you I don't see any difference.
Great Video's!
Wow im actually glad you mentioned going MtB with the mini. I have the normal 12 and i can barely notice the weight too. Its amazing. I would like to be better on battery life but oh well, considered switching to a 13pro but men 200grs its too much
Hi Zach, please upload more often. You're really great on what you do. Thanks.
Thank you! I’m working on it 😁
I absolutely love my 12 mini. I'm getting a 13 Mini as an upgrade but I'm sad they didn't make a 14 mini 😭
Watched this entire video before I realized it was published a year ago! I purchased my 13 mini when it came out. I am not even an apple guy...but purchased it purely for size. I still have it for that reason and for the most part have learned to put up with the things I do not like about apple's IOS. I will likely have it for a while longer....for all the reasons stated in the video...the primary reason being there simply are no other options. It is unfortunate that sales numbers do not warrant more of these options....still hoping for an option in the Android universe that does not force such high levels of compromise. Are you listening google?? Thanks for the video!
Got the 13 mini last week and felt kinda bad about not going for the larger option. This made me feel better about my decision;) Love the fact that I can use with one hand and going from the SE 2020 the screen is still a lot bigger.
Dont feel bad about it all, you made the right choice. I went from a 12 Pro, to a 12 Mini, loved the 12 Mini so much I sold it and upgraded to 13 Mini; I still have the 12 Pro but it's now my backup device and the 13 Mini is my daily driver.
I know I had the same dilemma I had the iPhone SE 2020 but I ended up getting the iPhone 13 and I’ve been quite happy with it I probably would’ve been happy with the iPhone 13 mini also…But it was the battery life as I A contractor so I’m never on Wi-Fi and I never sitting at a desk so I having a phone that for sure will last all day is an important thing. If I had an office job I would’ve gotten the iPhone 13 mini but
Best phone overall out there now....love the size....love the tech. The Perfect Combination. Hope they change their minds about "Minis" and always include this option for the rest of the "iPhone families" to arrive!
I currently on an iPhone 11 Pro Max, and I’m thinking of downsizing to the iPhone 13 mini because I know they’re not gonna release an iPhone 14 mini. I mean what’s nice is that you could just take a max safe battery along with you and I like what you said that it’ll make you stop looking at your phone so much and look at your iPad or look at your Mac or PC more instead of just making your full focus your phone. Great video my friend! New subscriber here!
This is one of the best months later review videos. Giving thoughts and instances instead of retelling the spec over and over.
as a pixel 6 user, that's what I needed to hear. I'm also hoping it will keep me off my phone a bit more, I loved my iPhone 11 pro as far as size went but couldn't get over the rounded slippery grip. ALSO your video edits were fantastic. I don't typically notice those in reviews but wonderful job.
It's sad that the Mini form factor is being discontinued. It makes sense from a sales perspective, but some of those wanting a small-form-factor iPhone would probably be disappointed in the feature-compromised iPhone SE.
I would hope that the 13 mini form factor comes back as the next iPhone SE model, with all of the features of the 13 mini, including the dual rear cameras.
I think it'll be back as the SE.
@@SPTSuperSprinter156 I truly hope so. That said, the current rumors are that that 4th generation iPhone SE might use the iPhone XR's form factor.
That said: Apple, please bring back the iPhone mini form factor with the iPhone SE! Not everyone wants huge phones, although Apple knows large phones sell well, given the soon-to-come introduction of the iPhone 14 Plus (formerly known as the "iPhone 14 Max" to Apple rumormongers). Perhaps once the price on the iPhone mini's components can decrease (due to older technology losing value), the iPhone mini can come back as the iPhone SE, perhaps with the 5th generation SE if not the 4th generation SE.
As an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, the iPhone mini doesn't really matter to me at this point in time. But I know people, especially those coming from older and smaller iPhone models, who would feel right at home upgrading to the iPhone mini. I know because I was almost one of them, upgrading from the iPhone 6S, to the 13, and then to the 13 Pro Max.
Great video bro! Really a great phone and the battery has improved so much as compared to 12 mini. Used 13 mini for a year, just changed to 14 pro 2 days ago. How I wish we can have a mini pro model 😢
I'm thinking of getting this before they are phased out since i'm not a very heavy user and prefer the usability. Every review i've watched so far draws me closer to this. Great production quality. Cheers.
Never used the iPhone mini but I had a pixel 4a for almost a year and apart from the battery I just loved that thing. The size was perfect for daily usage. Thinking between the 13 and 13 mini now.
Great video! I must admit, you make a lot of great points. I have been contemplating picking up a 13 mini myself, especially since it is rumoured to be the last of its kind. I feel as though we’ve been caught up in the hype of what a phone could be as opposed to what a phone should be. I understand that phones nowadays go well beyond sending text messages and making voice calls. But when phones continue to grow in size and add more cameras, where does it end? I believe having a 13 mini, or even the regular 13, grounds you as a person and reminds you of the more important things. I’m not one to dictate what people should do with their money, but all too often I see people with no practical use for it, handling a Pro Max iPhone. Status is a very real issue like you mentioned. Apple knows this and that is why their phones are marketed and priced the way they are. The same goes for clothing, automobiles and even homes.
Yep! I got mine recently. Awesome! A perfect replacement for my 1st gen SE.(which I miss a lot). Thanks for this review.
Miss your videos man, I love my 13 mini. Normally I’m constantly after the latest and greatest but this phone will stick with me.
Thanks, Adam!
I'm still using my 12 mini and it works just fine - still like new. I'm not a heavy phone user so I find the size is perfect for me, with one slight caveat as I find I'm having to pull out my glasses to read the screen all too often. It might not be for everyone but for those who do appreciate the small form factor it's disappointing that Apple is rumoured to be discontinuing the mini - all because they didn't make as huge a profit as they'd hoped for.
Loved this… and agree 100% I guess I just watch these videos because I am in agreement and I love it when someone else is as well. I have the 13pro max and after 3 months, bought the 13 mini and absolutely love it! I never got rid of the 13pro max… it just stays in my bag as a backup… but my 100% go-to daily driver is my 13 mini!
Hello can you tell me whether to go with 13 or mini based on my priorities:
1.i love to take photos and videos ( not professional )
2. Surf CZcams,spotify,WhatsApp and insta pretty much the whole time.
3.being connected to the internet approx 18 hrs a day
@@SONU-fq2gv based on that type of heavy media consumption, I would go with the bigger phone if you are getting one device. I have an iPad for doing lots of those things… and yet I’m responding to you now on my mini. :)
Funny with this phone, this is a great companion phone. When I work, I'm on my MBP. When home, generally on my iPad. I only grab my phone when I walk out of my house/away from my desk. It truly is a fantastic device. I'm so glad you mention this. I think a lot of people overlook this mentality. I hope we see this form factor show up every few years. I truly love this form factor. Small phones are great for me since it is a companion devices.
Great video!
I'm using the Pixel 3 in 2022, I came from a 6.4inch display phone and I can say my experience in the petite is great, totally loving it.
I was looking at the 13 mini the more I see it the more I’m interested. I currently use the 13 pro max and it is a beast of a phone and I love it. I usually end the day with %50 battery still left in the tank after 6 hours of sot . But the mini is still intriguing…
I really liked your honesty in this video. I just subscribed to your channel. I have the 12 Mini and I love it because I have small hands. I’m thinking about getting the 13 Mini since it may be the last one. The battery life on the 12 is not that great, so I hope the battery life will be a little better on the 13 when I upgrade. Thanks again for the video.
the next ip SE will use ip mini footprint. so dont worry
This is one of the best iPhone 13 Mini reviews out there. Probably like one of Top 5 iPhone 13 Mini reviews here on YT.
This is probably going to be my future phone since it might be the last iPhone mini of Apple. Currently on iPhone SE 2016. Yes, I love compact phones. Before I switched to Apple, I used to rock the Xperia compact phones.
Great great video 👏
Great vide! Watching off my mini. All points are spot on.
I love the 13mini. Easy to use size with all the same features as the regular 13 and with great battery life still. It’s also 100 less than the regular 13 so it’s worth a pickup. The pros are nice but not worth the extra cost In my opinion. Pros are 300 more than the mini and 200 more than regular 13 but not enough to justify the cost for me
Mini all the way hands down! I have the 12 mini and I love it 😍. It’s funny, I was having lunch with friends a few weeks ago, and we all had our phones laid out on the table. I don’t know how we started comparing everyone’s phones, but when everyone held my phone, they loved the size and said they hated carrying their big phones, that the mini was the perfect size and this is how phones should be lol. One had iPhone 11 and the other a Samsung s20 something. Now they are considering a mini lol
It’s just so smooth to wield in hands , never fumbling, ease of putting in and out of pockets of all types. Best phone ever owned for sure.
I really hope the new SE will be the mini’s cuz I’m hooked , I don’t want a big phone, I love the mini too much.
We will be getting two, thank you very much!
Just buying iPhone 13 mini today!! 25/11/2022 can't wait!
13 mini may be the best phone ever made.
It has everything you will ever need and then some, in a size that actually fits human hand.
I have a 13 mini and it's an excellent phone. I also have the 13 Pro. After using the mini for a couple of weeks, the Pro seemed MASSIVE when I switched back. I use the Pro at work as the zoom comes into play. Also, I usually work a 12-13 hr shift so the Pro battery is better for me. Love the mini though. Nice, well done vid!
I also have both the mini and the regular size 13 pro and the mini has a special place in my heart. I realize that the mini is not a phone to have while you're on vacation because you really depend on the battery more when taking photos and videos almost all day while using navigation to go from place to place. But using it on a daily at home/work is more than enough. It is such an underrated phone and I wish they made a pro phone in the mini. I dont think I will be going upgrading this year to the 14 pro and I think going back and forth between these phones will be refreshing.
@@jotato703 I gave my 13 Mini to my cousin as his 6 was dying. I miss it. LOL I won't be upgrading either. I'm going to hold the 13 Pro for a couple of years I think. Damn fine phone and my battery is still at 100%.
Watched this video on my 12 mini! I’ve had it for over a year and love it!
great video! I have the 12 mini my self and i loved it! The battery was too bad tho, I have to switch to the 12pm. Still, the mini line is my favorite, wish they can keep it around
Excellent video Zach!!! Love the informative script combined with the smooth shots and... pretty bad humor. Jkjk still great content! I've loved the mini and used it as my main for nearly 2 years as well. There's just something about a phone that can be uses entirely with one hand, and fits in the pocket.
I encourage you to try the S22 regular size as a main device, the size of that one is also delightful! Slightly larger, but the squared corners feel more grippy
Hahaha thanks so much Tamara! Always appreciate your support and kind words! I definitely need to try the regular S22. I really like what I see!
I'm loving my mini. It feels much larger than the old 5s because the screen/body ratio is so much greater. Only thing I miss is the telephoto lens though.
your entertainment while doing this review was impeccable. new subscriber gained. love the video
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
You really did a great job with this video. I subscribed to your channel because of it. I just purchased a regular 13 but used an iPhone 12 mini for the most of the last 2 years. You made some very valid points. I did use my wife’s old 12 pro max some after she upgraded to the 13 pro max. I kept going back to the mini after a while though because the max was to big. I decided to split the difference and get the regular but I still have the 12 mini to fall back on.
I've always used an android, but this might be the first time I'm really wanting to switch to iOS, thanks to the mini line. One thing I really want in the mini though is USB-C. I swear if the 14 has a mini version and it has type-c I'll be instantly buying it when my current phone breaks. Now it's time to pray for a new mini
I've always had an android as well and i have the s22, its a great phone but the animations are so wacky and it lags at times. I might just buy a used 13 mini so i can see how iphones are.
I typically stay 2-3 years behind the newest model primarily for budget reasons. I currently have an iPhone XR that I have been using for several years but looking to upgrade in the next year or two. I actually like the smaller phones and even had an SE when they first came out. From this and other reviews, I will probably upgrade to the iPhone 13 mini once the iPhone 15 is released and older models get a reduction in price.
They’re reduced now. Don’t be cheap lol. You need some enjoyment in life. You can buy a used mini for like 400
I love small phones, and probably mini was the last one. I love the fact that they don't pull your pants down when you put them in the pocket.
Great video!!! Can’t wait to get my iPhone mini
I just pulled the 1st Gen Moto X from my drawer, and I was genuinely shocked at how much I loved the small footprint, and it's a shame that small phones don't sell as well as bigger ones, leading to their extinction :(
The OG Moto X was a dream phone. Phones don't have to be as thin as they are today.
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. I usually upgrade my iPhone every 3-5 years, I expect my current 13 mini to last until 2027, because I love it so much & because of rumours it’s going to be discontinued, I have already done enough overtime at work to purchase a second 13 mini to stash away & future proof my small phone use until 2032. I hope Apple brings back the mini, iPhone 17 or later.
i have too now come down from 13 pro to 13 mini. smaller, light weight. 2 important things for me. and it is not tiny as every reviewer says it is. just a few years back 3.5 inch was great. even smaller.
Went from the the 13 pro max to the 13 mini and im absolutely loving it. When it’s paired with the MagSafe battery pack it’s a dream.
I love the 12 mini. The size is just right. Though the battery may not be as powerful as the big ones, the performance is at par with the major ones. I am planning to upgrade to 13 mini. I just hope Apple will reconsider creating minis in the future. Even if it is for pre-order so they can provide for the "minority" who likes mini. 🙏
went from the 11 to 13 mini and have no regrets. the mini is a more comfortable experience
I’ve waited since 2016 (SE 1st Gen) for this - it’s simply the best!
Two months ago I switched from iPhone 7 to 13 pro. I almost got the mini instead of the pro because LOVED the size of the 7 so much!! I decided to go with the pro mainly because of the new 120 hertz and cameras features, but I still miss my iPhone 7’s small size.
I wish apple made iPhone pro mini!! It could be my sweet spot between the highest abilities and technology and small size
I use both and I can tell you you don’t really need the 120 hz on the mini, I don’t even noticed it to be honest due to the small size and normally I notice the difference straight away
I really like to buy a 13 mini. The size is great in my opinion and that's an advantage a lot of phones are missing. I'd rather use a bigger tablet for content and have a mini phone at my hand. Great phone if you go out a lot. But the battery has really got me thinking. That's a big down point. Great video. Finely edited and amusing.
I just got this mini to replace my almost dead iPhone X. Wanted to hold out til the 14, but this is a good in between phone and loving the beautiful green color so far!
I’ve just upgraded from the XS to a Product Red 13 Mini. I wanted to keep using my XS for a bit longer - hopefully til it lost access to the latest iOS in September - but the battery health (or lack of it) brought my upgrade forward by 6+ months.
Just got the bumper I’ll be using - not going to hide the gorgeous colour - and really looking forward to using MagSafe accessories.
Thanks for the content!
I'm still using my iPhone 11 Pro. It's 5.8 inch screen is still a great size and doesn't compromise on anything 🙏. Great video mate 🙏😊❤️
Definitely still a great phone and will be for some time! Thank you!
@@ZachAnderson please do make a video on iPhone 13 Pro model. Thank you 🙏
I have owned a 12 mini for over a year and I have loved it just so easy to use on the go the battery hasn’t really been a issue but I’m normally not far from a charger or have a battery bank if I need to recharge on the go I probably wait until the 14 line up comes out and see what they are like but probably will change to a 13 mini in the future
Well looks like I’ll be changing to the 13 mini sooner than later as My 12 mini got run over by a 30 ton truck and is completely stuffed
Have used an 11 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14 Pro and Pro Max, all to come to the 13 mini and it is by far my favorite of all of those models.
I had a 12 mini that i traded for 13 pro. Battery was one of main reasons for that. But then I was still missing that super comfortable size that fits my hands very well and also being confident when using one handed. So I made a switch to going back to 13 mini and I do not regret a single bit. I already have an iPad pro (latest gen) for media and stuff if I need.
I wonder how a pro mini would fare in the marketplace. There is something very cool about a small phone that packs some wicked power. Like you said, back in the day, the smaller the phone the cooler it was.
Been way to long, loved it 😊
It really has been 😅 Thanks for watching!
great vid man, really like it!!
Just this week, I bought a 13 Mini to replace my 7. LOVE the size and the one-handed usability! The 14 Pro cameras were appealing, like REALLY appealing, but I just didn’t like having to switch hands to get the control panel, or even the right side of the keyboard (think left pocket, pull off a work glove to respond to a text or email). I’m hopeful that the SE goes into this chassis as iPhones move forward.
It’s a great phone and a great price- it’s for those who want something between the SE and the flagship non pro.
Love my 12 mini, still considering upgrading to the 13 mini. However I want to see what happens with the 14 first. I know the 14 won't have a mini but I might be able to use a phone the size of my Pixel 5.
Awesome visuals and awesome content loved the video
I am a great mini fan. Planning to get it this year.
You can see how ahead of time Steve Jobs was with wanting to keep phones smaller. Older iPhones were conveniently small and simple.
I’ve always said that Steve Jobs would prefer the Mini 13 over the other 13 lineups
Great video 👍🏾. I absolutely love my 13 mini. I’ll be keeping this for as long as possible. The form factor is thing for me. I got tired of the larger phones, carrying and trying to use them one handed. To me this mini is a hit for Apple. It’s unfortunate it’s going away.
👍🏻
Que vídeo bem produzido, realmente, muito ótima a produção... Continue assim, Zachary!
I've just done this. Flipped my iP12PM for the 13M. Love it.
I have a 12 Pro Max and a 13 mini, I don’t understand why people think the mini isn’t good for watching content and movies things like that. I use my mini over my pro max, Plus it just sounds better then the 12 pro max models it’s louder. I love it!
More easier to carry and fit in pockets
The problem with giving it a shot/trying it is that it's so expensive in many countries like India. One can't just go pickup a phone which costs roughly $900 (₹69,900). Also we don't have the return policy like USA to just give it back if we don't like it (after 14 days of purchase)
14 days is honestly not too long for a lot of people to realise if they want to keep it or return it.
The rich people go for the bigger ones anyways since they can afford it, and legit believe that they are soooo much better, even though a lot of them just use it for instagram and snapchat
True' but bro wait for Flipkart BBD sale
just subscribed. it was a fun watch!
Just got a 13 MINI coming from an 11PRO MAX. I love the fact that I can put it in my pocket and forget its there. Its powerful enough for me and I am on my phone a ton as I am in IT Sales. if I have a larger screen need, i pull out my iPAD or Macbook Pro. The benefts of having this small form factor completely outweigh any cons. I really wish that Apple would keep this model going. I will miss it when I upgrade in 2 years.....
