  6. iPhone 13 Mini is good for people who don't use a phone as their primary computing device. I have a decent gaming PC, gaming laptop, Steam Deck, and I barely use social media. I hate doing anything productive or useful off a phone. That's what a PC, KB/M, and a couple 32" monitors are for. So my phone is for GPS, text and calling, music, and taking pictures. Being small is a good thing, I don't want a phablet masquerading as a phone.

  10. I tried a mini and gave it a good time in hand before returning it. For me, it was just too small. I'm a chunky monkey though, but I like that apple tried to make a smaller phone for people.

  11. Thinking heavily about downgrading from my 13PM. Maybe I’d find more use out of a tablet sized phone if there was any software changes that allowed more use. But there isnt. So im left carrying around a tablet sized phone for no other reason other than the great battery life. Not having the pro cameras and at least a 90 hrtz refresh rate really does suck if i do the switch. Man, I’d buy a mini sized pro so quick.

  15. Watching this video on my 13 Mini, and bad battery life is totally over exaggerated. I charge my phone once every two days. I don’t take photos or videos every 5 minutes, I don’t check my social media every second. I make a few calls and a bunch of texts a day. Watch a few videos and check my FB and Instagram when I am out, I don’t play game on this phone, got my iPad Air for it, the battery life is more than enough. I also plug it in when I drive, so it gets charged when I am on the road. I really don’t know what everyone is whining about.

  17. I got the 13 mini last October. Had an 8 before and like normally I wouldn’t upgrade it was working alright still but the 13 mini is the last small phone so I wanted it. And I loovvvveeeeee it! It so reminds me of my old iPhone 5 and even more comfy to use than my iPhone 8. And the battery is more than good enough for texting, calling, snapping and taking pictures yk

  18. You gotta love these kids spending 7 freaking hours on a phone before the light is out and can't find 15 minutes to charge them or a wireless charger to put it down to occasionally… I find this ridiculous. With an internetwide shut down they all would just look up and had no idea where they actually are because, oh my, no google maps tells them on the phone….

  22. I got mine for 417 dollars, two weeks ago. It was pre-owned, was in pristine condition, and battery health was 84%.

    The battery is still nice, it still lasts within the day, it charges quick too.

    My pocket is feeling breezy as well, doesn't bulge that much.

    Its size gives me a firm grip to it, especially when driving, without worrying a large-ass screen cracking.

    Was worth it, it makes much more sense to have it since phones are not meant to be heavy and tablet-lookin.

  30. I hope they bring back the mini because it's such a good size, i think it was a mistake to remove it from the line up and replace it with a plus model that actually adds no benefits

  32. I bought my iphone 13 Mini in Apr 2023 , 512GB Product Red , which look so sporty red!! I read many good comments and i decided to get one before apple discontinued . Yes , is very nice and powerful Mini Iphone. Having this phone feels like going back to previous original iphone handy portable size when big phone is yet to be popular . Generally i feel that the charging speed using 20W adapter by Iphone is good and relatively fast enough . It has been long time i miss the feeling of holding such handy phone , whereby we used to use Nokia or blackberry phone form factors. 60Hz refresh rate is good enough for this screen size . Been using 4 mths and still very happy owning this little beast !! You can also get many types of casing on line for as low as S$2 plus with magsafe !!! I have now at least 5 casing cover for my little beast , simply love it and you feel so light in your pocket . If you are considering having a SE or 13 Mini , go for the 13 Mini if you have the budget.

  36. I have really enjoyed my time with this phone and while I do think about replacing it I don’t think I will yet. I really do like its size and for my use the battery normally gets the job done. As I am retired at home I use my iPad (Pro and mini) or my iMac to do most of my “stuff”. When travelling I take most of my phots with a camera. I take videos with the phone, Camra P3, and the results are superb – often adding the Moment anamorphic lens. I ridge a bicycle a lot and Ethel size fits comfortably into my bike jersey rear pockets.

  39. i think a person that wants this mini version is beacuse doesn't use the phone that much, so the switch from a 90hz display to a 60hz isn't a problem.
    The main feature of this phone is its size, that is what matters for buyers.

  40. My 13 mini is the perfect size and great phone. I will hold onto it as many years as possible unless apple releases another newer mini.

  41. I have an iPhone 13 mini and while the A15 it’s still pretty top-tier it runs really hot. Oh, and if you’re not careful can lead to lag in games. So remember lower screen brightness don’t play outside, play in well Cool down areas. And have an external fan attachment and you should be just fine.
