- iPhone 13 Mini updated review. Is this the king of compact phones in 2023? Is it still a good choice to get more than a year after its release? Should you still buy it in 2023?
iPhone 13 Mini was always one of my favorite iPhones Apple has ever made. But today in 2023, somehow it's even better! That's why we're taking another look at it to see why and if it's still worth it in 2023.
Going over everything, cameras, performance, design and build quality, battery, and pricing.
In my opinion, iPhone 13 is the best choice out there if you're looking for a great compact phone with a great camera that's gonna last you a long time at a fairly affordable price.

ip11, still works great not planning on upgrading for another year or two
How come nobody mentions the bad typing experience. Even my youngest kid gets non registered touches. Purchased 4 from apple store. Even display models were the same
The most expensive green😂
I"ve had an iPhone 6 since 2015 and got my Amazon iPhone 13 Mini Renewed delivered yesterday. Fast to set up, in perfect condition, came with the charging cord and brick, set up for T-Mobile, got some new earbuds, and the case is coming today. Thrilled! Battery is 100%.
iPhone SE 3. I chose it over the 13 mini as I prefer the home button
Best phone ever. Still have my 12 Mini. Want a 15 Mini for sure. Apple must bring it back. Glad so many reviewers are championing its comeback.
Me too
i like mini phones too🥺
Won't happen. :(
guess SE will be the new minis
@@straightdot think so too
Thanks for showing the actual phone itself so much, most people barely show it and just talk to the camera. I think I'll be trying to 13 mini blue or green when I decide to try something new soon.
I'm currently using it and loving it.
Amazing little phone! The camera is fantastic too, I’ve had many people asking what phone I have when showing off my photos and they’re always amazed that it’s from a mini!
Not a huge apple fan to be honest, but I absolutely love this phone, the design, the small size, its amazing
I went from a XS max to this phone. You can go wrong with this phone. It’s definitely under the radar.
@@ZezimaContra Can or can't? Sorry was soliciting comments since I want to use this to curb my phone addiction.
I just switch from iPhone 14 pro to this iPhone 13 mini in midnight. Tell you something, I’m loving the mini more than that heavy iPhone 14 pro.
I to get this this one instead I’ve got 13 but now I wanna switch to 13 mini after year.
Actually iPhone 12 mini scares a lot of people away from it coz of the weak batteries. But Apple improved it on the 13 mini and no one bothers about it. But after trying the 13 mini , I feel the batt is way better and it’s perfect.
The Iphone 13 Mini is the phone for me. Probably the best phone I’ve had in awhile. It’s refreshing and fun. I would prefer to see smaller devices in the long run. Having to carry less weight is essential. Plus, having stuffed pockets while walking around may not be the best idea. 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. Sadly, This 13 mini will be the last of the breed. Shame on Apple for ending the Mini series. If Apple still want to continue with the mini, I think Apple should update the mini lineup every 2/3years.😃
Watching from my iPhone 13 mini red got it 3 days ago… love it!
Perfect size, Perfect processor, Perfect camera
Watching this on my 13 mini that turned a year old today. Still the best phone I had since forever. I’ll be sticking with this until apple brings back the mini in future lineups.
Just traded in a 12 mini for a 13 mini. I love the smaller phones and fear this may be the last time they make one. Love this phone! Great video, and thanks!
Watching this with my 13mini which is going to turn a yr old in jun. a great phone for guys like me who have tiny hands such that even the regular iPhone 13 with 6.1” display feels huge.❤️ wishing for a 15mini. So i can upgrade from 13 mini🤞
I currently have an iPhone 13 Mini in product red, I have it for 1 year and 5 months now. At first, I was regretting it because I am experiencing the feeling of missing out and people are telling me it look like a 4g/5s but now, I don’t. I actually love that its small its compact phone, I dont have any problem with camera it is serving me what I need, the battery is okay it last depending on how much I use it for a day, the speaker and storage are great too. I think people are missing out by not experiencing having a compact phone. If there will be a mini in 15 line up this year, I might get it.
Awesome review as always! 🙌
Thanks! Happy you like it 🙂
I own an iPhone 13 Mini. I never looked back on bigger phones. This is the best size, fit-all smartphone should be. Beautiful screen, great performance and best of all portable! Battery is not an issue for me cause I don’t spend most of my time on the smartphone. I have family & friends to spend quality time with. Of course, the iPhone 13 Mini for some if it’s limitation,is simply the best iPhone to date.
My daughter is a fan of the Pro Max phones and she thinks my 13 Mini looks like a kid's toy. That's fine, I can basically do everything she can with her $1200 phone. With trade-in my Mini cost me $425. Huge difference.
Love my 12 mini 😍
'In my opinion, this is the perfect size for a phone'
That made me smile :)
got 13 mini recently, absolutely loving it, except for stills camera processing - I prefer look of stills from my old 2016 SE
I have a broken fold 3. Thinking about going with this little guy.
I’m going of my 14 pro max to this one in a day or 2 thx Pedja for the video.
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.
Just bought my new iPhone 13 Mini, with 512GB memory. Unlocked….no plan. Amazing piece of technology. Got a screen protector and otter box case for it for more protection. Perfect for one bag, carry on travel in the world. 😃✈️🌴🌴🌴🌴👏🏼🌏
Currently using the 13 mini. Still great but hoping for a mini in the future soon with pro-motion.
I got my 256GB 13 mini a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it!
I was concerned about the battery at first. But after watching videos about turning off some settings that drain battery, my 13 mini can last me till end of the day with 30%+ battery left.
The best thing about this phone is I got it for just $220 brand new from an Apple Store. My carrier is having a promotion for older iPhones models, probably to get rid of older unwanted models.
220$??? How
how did you get it for 220 tho
Got mine in blue with 512Gb 😅 amazing small beast 😮 even for small hands Persons 😊
I really wanted this phone. I had the 12 mini and loved the form factor. Unfortunatley I’m in my 40s now and my near vision just doesn’t focus like it used to. I hate bigger phones, but sadly I see myself with a plus or max soon. 😭
I'm there! I got the 14 Pro Max for the screen size and also my hands are large. It's heavy though. Sturdy due to the stainless steel frame. I DO miss my mini.
I saw iPhone 13 mini on display in pink. It was just to small for me. I gotten an iPhone 14 in purple for this one feature it has.
I love my 13 mini. Best size, great battery (for things that a phone is made to be), fast, great camera.
What storage do u have? Still planning to buy my first phone later this year, thinkig if id go for iphone 13mini or 1phone 14
@@JTemperance 128Gb, i have a lot of music and a lot of fotos. And still not full. If you´re looking for a small but powerful phone, the 13 would be great!
Loved my 12 mini. I recevied a 13pro as a gift so i gog rid of it, but i loved the easy handling of the mini. Longshot wish, a pro mini
I have a 13 pro regular with 128gb but I need more storage could be a good trade to swith with this mini with better storage?
BEST PHONE EVER..
2015 se smaller and battery lasts forever. the best!
I think they should definitely keep this line…if anything use it for the newer model SE’s. it’s what the SE should have been anyway I feel
Yes the small mini-like SE would be amazing! There are new leaks suggesting it's gonna be a regular iPhone 12 body possibly tho
Still my absolute favorite iPhone 13mini512gb
Clean video Bro !! I got the 13 mini in 512 gbs a little after it’s release I keep debating to make a new phone upgrade but I change my mind every time last minute and say I’m going to stick with my iPhone 13 mini 😅
What makes you want to update?
how about the battery backup?
@@tejaschhabra4523 I had the note 20 ultra b4 the 13 mini and I do miss the large screen sometimes when I’m watching CZcams but the one handed use on the 13 mini is nicer to have in my opinion
@@rpkhan649 what do u mean battery backup bro ??
@@EWOLF4 I'm planning to "upgrade" from Oneplus 8t to iPhone 13 mini just because of the form factor. I'm tired of these big screens. I asked you that question because I really don't want to regret purchasing a phone ill want to immediately change.
I just purchased my 13 mini
Can't wait to get mine next month. I keep debating. Should I go for 13 or 14 instead cz people around me keep telling me to go for 13 regular or 14 instead of mini. But I've always wanted a compact phone since 12 mini released. So yeah, 13 mini is still the winner of my heart. Lol, I wish it's still available in my country cz it's already hard to find one here. So sad.
Did you get it ?
@@Ali-om3jy I didn’t get iPhone 13 mini in the end because it wasn’t available in my country. I got iPhone 13 instead in pink and I’m so grateful.
@@fydiaries9500 in which country you leaving?
@@whysoseriousiamnot9772 I live in Indonesia
I’m currently using an iPhone XS Max. Pretty good features and very useful but the size is too big for me
Is that a Keychron keyboard ?
Lovely cat 🐈 🐾
great phone i have it in Red
What's the width? Kinda important in a review.
@Pedja what about "go back" by swipe from right to left ? Still not found solution.
apple should relaunch mini series
I say yes… perfect size for me. I had 14 pro max and I downgraded to this! It was the best decision ever! It’s just the right size and absolutely love it so much! Mine is midnight 🥰
same here😄👍
I have the 12 pro max and I think I may trade it in and buy the 13 mini
he is great.
The 13 mini is the only premier phone out there and for me better than any flagship 6.7” brick out there .
I will be keeping my mini until iPhone 18
You mean iPhone 18 mini right?
5 years is completely doable for an iPhone 😀
I’ve switched to iPhone 13 mini from iPhone 12 Pro and no regret
Nice! Both are great tho but there's something about the mini size that just makes it more appealing 😂
I wouldn't trade my mini for anything on the market today.
Perfect size nice phone although I'm a android user it's still a nice phone nowadays phones are getting too big it's like putting a brick in your pocket sometimes u just wanna have a small phone that u can do everything with one hand.
Top Telefon,nakon Pixela koristim ga nekih 5 mjeseci,lomim se još uvijek da uzmem Pixel 7 samo zbog lakšeg prilagođavanja Androida,dobra mu kamera,baterija,velicina naravno,to me drži da ga ne mijenjam.
Super recenzija, živio.
Hvala Mirko! Android je definitivno prilagodljiviji ali oba sistema imaju prednosti i mane po mom misljenju. Meni su dugotrajnost, jednostavnost i povezanost Apple uredjaja npr mnogo bitnije stavke pa se drzim iPhonea za sada 😀 Dobra kompaktna opcija sa Android strane je recimo Zenfone 9 ako te zanima tako nesto.
Ja sam upravo prešao sa 13 mini na Pixel 7pro i mogu ti reci da sam malo iznenađen . S obzirom da sam u prošlosti koristio uglavno Samsung sa Android strane , baš je velika razlika u Androidu na Pixelu i OneUI kod Samsunga . OneUI mnogo više dozvoljava a i nudi , ali mi se zato sviđa Google Assistant.
@@wollas3883 Evo da se pohvalim,juče uzeo s23,još uvijek ga namijestam ali mi se sviđa i što je najbitnije kompaktan je,uzgred moj prvi Samsung nakon Samsung Galaxy S1 koji sam imao davne 2011,IPhone 13 mini sam prodao i mogu vam reci da je to top tel,čak sada žalim zašto ga nisam ostavio nekome od ukućana
that oversharpening you mentioned is also present on the iPhone 13 series, 12 and 11 series because of Deep Fusion, the over exposing of faces is very prominent that they suck, you cant even turn HDR off starting from the 13 series which is why 12 series will be better in the camera department
Apple should not stop mini versions
the mini is great! and now imagine a pro mini with all the pro stuff in a smaller titanium frame!
would be awesome.
I with these reviewers would concentrate on how Power Save Mode help stretch out power.
I'm sad that my iphone 13mini overheats so much and drains battery so rapidly
I really want to downgrade from 13 pro max to the mini but 60hz isn't smooth for me now
I like this concept of review. No face showing, more phone showing itself. I hate it when reviewers show their face more than the phone.
Thanks! 😀
Iphone 15 mini pro would be amazing. 120hz panel is just a must for me. That's why I wont buy a mini for now.
Pozz, gde bi preporucio kod nas u Srbiji da se uzme?
not available in my place anymore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭that's the size I want
Cao Pedja, nije mi jasno zasto niko neprica o problemu koji 13 mini ima vezano za zvucnike. Kvalitet zvuka je jako los, kada bi pojacao na max. volume. postaje neprijatan/nepodnosljiv za uvo. Takodje kada bi pozvao nekog (Voice Call - Speaker ) cuo bi ''buzz'' kao da je zvucnik probio, jednostavno deluje jeftino, kao da je igracka a ne telefon od toliko para. Generalno kompletan Audio sistem bilo pozivi , youtube itd.. je jako los. Kakvo je tvoje iskustvo ?
Cao Urose! Nisam za sada primetio nikakav problem sa zvukom. Jesu malo slabiji nego na 13/14 Pro Max telefonima npr, zato sto zvuk nema toliko prostora da se siri unutar telefona pa zvuce malo tanje. Ali to nije nista drasticno, nisam imao tih problema koje spominjes iskreno. Postoji mogucnost da je problem bas sa tvojim uredjajem ali ne bih ti mogao ovako nista detaljnije reci. Nadam se da ces uspeti da pronadjes resenje 🙂
if apple kills off the mini series, im switching to a samsung s22, the next best "compact" phone on the market nowadays
Yeah that's the next best thing. 😀 Maybe take a look at the Zenfone 9 as well, that's one of my favorites
This blue color is 🔥 🔥
Agreed 😀
Yes but i have one and the color is very variable depending on the light. Without light it's a more darler blue.
I think the 12 series blue is the best blue they’re ever made.
But that 13 series green? That’s my absolute favourite colour they’ve ever made.
I got my 13 mini 3 days ago this phone is a beast I downgraded from a regular 13 model … 6.1 inch was jus too much for me … this phone is small and compact with power
Still working iPhone 13 mini good ? I thinking buying now 13 or 13 mini
❣️
Renew confused me. It a owned by someone before or second hand
Couldn't tell you...but I received my Renewed phone yesterday from Amazon. It came in an Apple-like box (with no logos on it), with a charging block, cord, SIM tool, and pop socket advertising the renewer company, all sealed in plastic wrap...everything was as if no one had ever touched it before, ever. Not a scratch or chip anywhere. You could say it was better than new, because I think if you get a new Apple iPhone, it doesn't come with a charging block. Mine did. I'm very happy with everything.
I hadn't thought of it before, but if you're into the idea of renew-reuse-recycle, this is a great option. In my case I can't tell it's ever been touched -- except now by me!
@@SusanBame how bout the guarantee? 1 year from apple or from amazone?... i just brought brand new mini 13 in indonesia coz no apple store here so the aftersale sucks
The starlight colour only refers to the band around the edge of the phone, the back is actually white, Apple should be sued for misrepresentation!.
I wanna know if using the mini will reduce my phone addiction? Or anyone who has experience with this?
Lol, i thought it would reduce my addiction but it made me look at the phone even more😆🤦. But when im home or traveling i use my ipad mini more often.
@@JonasErving Why tho? hahaha what made it so addicting for you? I considered this one because of its size and because I got addicted with watching mindlessly on youtube. Hahaha I wanna know really how.
@@kiyotakaayanokoji6950 because the phone is so light and comforting to use, and feels so good in the hand😁
Man im thing is 13mini beter that 12 becous 625 nits on 12 13mini have 800nits
Flagship with battery life of a 150€ android...
Even the compactness is debatable, because if you want to actually USE the phone, you need to carry a powerbank, which is not compact anymore.
Sure, you could argue that for people who don't use their phone heavily, the 13 mini battery life is enough. But, what if you are on a sleepover and forget your charger ? What if you are travelling somewhere and need a GPS ? What if you go camping ? You certainly don't want your phone to die in the middle of the day in these scenarios. Even if you are not a heavy user, there are those situations where you just need to use the phone and drain the battery, and that's when 13 mini sucks.
Samsung is always durable and good 👍 👌
It doesn't do 7 hours of screen on time! I own one. Don't fool your viewers! Maximum 3,5-4 hours.
Iphone has slowest charging
Android is better than ios
East or West samsung is the best 👌 👍
Samsung are the worst phones. Also they have no customer service
Worst phone i've ever had. Battery is rubbish, ios is getting worse and worse, lags all over. Will never get back to apple
ios 16 is pretty solid. few bugs, but no phone on the market at this time are free of bugs...
