Upgraded from the XS to a mint condition Product Red 13 Mini back in January. I knew I was swapping my XS this year, as i thought it was 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 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. Strange to think that this 'Mini' iPhone has the same footprint as my iPhone 7. How times have changed. Thanks for the content!
I did the exact opposite switch and I couldn't be happier. The battery performance is worlds apart. You have to charge the mini more often, so the battery will degrade a lot quicker. You might be happy with the battery life at first but it will get worse. And it gets worse faster than with the bigger phones. I agree, the 13 mini may be the best phone apple made and I would love to see a version with improved battery performance / technology in the future. It just feels right in your hand.
I also switched from the max to the iphone 13 mini. I love that it fits in my pocket and my small bags. I have not upgraded to the 14 nor the 15 because I do not want to switch back to a big phone.
I've been on Android my entire life, and i switched to the 13 mini. I wanted to try out iOS, since everyone always bugs me about iMessage...This video perfectly sums up my experience. I really hope the iPhone SE update in 2025 results in a "13 min pro" experience.
I own a Mini iPhone 13, I won’t go back to a larger phone. I find the camera is fine, it isn’t a Pro nor has the higher specs of the 15 but the camera is the same as the standard iPhone 13. They say covid with everyone being at home the disadvantages of a large phone was forgotten. Plus the Mini isn’t small, it is as large as the original plus phone of the past. What has happened the phones of today are monster bricks. Plus it’s battery is fine for all day use, again expectations a phone should go 2 days of use is something new. I am hopeful a new mini iPhone may be possible but not soon. The iPhone SE is rumour to be larger more a iPhone 13 in size. I brought a second unboxed iPhone 13 mini ready to go if my current one is lost, dies.
5:18 didn’t neglect that group, thats what the regular Pro does. Theres no space for all the stuff you’re asking for on a mini phone. This is coming from a 12 mini user. You shouldn’t be expecting the implausible from small component estate.
I have the iPhone 13 mini and I was so bummed when they discontinued it. I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I need to upgrade to another phone I like my phone to disappear in my pocket and not be bulky.
I purchased my iPhone 13 mini refurbished. I really should’ve picked up a 512 but I have a 256 and it runs like butter. I really really like it. I also have an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I wish Apple would bring back the smaller form factor like a mini, and like you said, make it a pro version. I would totally buy one!
I did exactly the same thing (14 pro max to 13 mini) after deeply regretting moving from a 12 mini to the 14 pro max due to battery life concerns. The 13 mini is a perfect daily driver for an average user like me and I never needed the power or camera of the bigger phone although I know some people really do. I so wish for a pro mini and would pay top dollar for one but my 13 mini is just fine.
Couldn’t agree more. I just bought a 13 mini for the third time. Also owned the 12 mini. Every time I ‘upgrade’ from the mini, I end up buying a mini again. I called this last one ‘13 mini for life!’ So there’s that. :)
Still rocking my iPhone 13 mini until now. I'm not planning to let this go, unless Apple decided to discontinue the support. My battery health is down to 86% but still lasts a whole day.
I have a regular 13 at 80% battery and minor cosmetic damage. I’m heavily considering getting a mini since I’m stepping away from social media and the idea of a tiny phone is great for me right now.
I'm still rocking my 12 mini!!! lol Love the phone. I don't think it's small at all. Modern phones are way too big. If ever Apple makes a new Mini, I'll be first in line to get it!
The iPhone 12 mini is what finally swayed me back to Apple after over 12+ years of staunch android. (I was using the Samsung S24 ultra beast and the small size as a side phone lured me well) now iPhone has been my primary
"The camera is just not good" like bro wtf, it has the same camera as an iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. I've used an iPhone 5s until 2022 and it still takes phenomenal pictures
I also recently had a 15PM and dropped down to a 13 mini, but I move to a normal 15 and then moved back to a 15 Pro. I did love the form factor, however the battery life didn’t quite suit my daily usage.
Two days ago, I lost my 13 mini in our river. I ordered a 13 pro now because of the camera. I already know that I'll switch back to the 13 mini due to the size and - as you highlighted - the detox effect. I would love to see a 17 pro mini, too!
what society lacks is honesty and authenticity. some are blind to the benefits of a smaller phone or, worse, choose to ignore them because of the addiction they've submitted to. I'm talking about the addiction towards living a digitally-centred lifestyle: hours of mindless scrolling, sharing everything about yourself on social media profiles, preferring to text remotely over meeting in person, being consumed by soulless, temporal trends and hivemind opinions. "oh man, I could never use a small phone, it would suck so much if I didn't have the battery life or the screen size to sustain these perfectly harmless, totally healthy, digital habits of mine..." small phones would really help alleviate a lot of problems in my opinion.
Ive had mine for nearly 3 years now.. everything still excellent with it.. just spent $100 for a new battery install. The battery does last most full days for me. If it had a 90hz+ screen I wouldn't have any interest in a new phone.
I had an iPhone 13 mini for 3 years. Today I switched to a 16 pro max. I loved how little it was, performed just as good as any iPhone, and if I needed a bigger screen, I would just use my iPad! It got to the point where my “max battery” was 60% and I was dropping phone calls, camera never got used bc someone always had a better pro model around. I feel like after 3 years it warrants an upgrade. If they brought back the mini (or even pro mini), I would be back in a heartbeat
100% with you on a mini pro. I quit social media years ago (best decision ever) and my phone is used more for music, podcasts, light reading via Instapaper, notes, reminders, essentially more on the go productivity apps and audio consumption. I would love the pro though for the camera quality and longevity in terms of it maintaining it's performance for years to come.
I have used the iphone 13 mini for more than a year and I am currently at 90% battery health I am able to last 2 days with a single charge by using Accessibility shortcut to reduce white point(75%) and also I turned off background app refresh since a lot of apps really don't make any use of the background refresh and it just wastes battery life. For context this is my only phone I have around 5 hours of screen time on average I don't use social media and use the phone mainly for work and Waze when I am traveling somewhere.
Mini was a perfect phone for me as I only use my phone for a few emails; texts and calls: I just got a 15 plus due to the screen size because of my eye health but if my health wasn’t bad.. I would’ve stayed with the mini: the accessories for it were perfect because of its dimensions and capacity. If you’re looking for media use, I would go for the pro models as they have battery but they introduced the plus models and I’m impressed with all the battery life.
I’ve had my 13 mini for two years now and still love it. I had the SE first gen prior and while similar in design which I prefer, it was heavier, but 13 mini design and weight made it much better. My battery is currently at 85% after two years and I intend to get the battery changed when it gets to 80% since I plan on having this phone for at least another 3-4 years. It’s a great phone and serves all my needs and is great part of my multi device system. Apple needs to realize that bigger doesn’t always mean better.
I purchased a 13 mini brand new from Apple. Used it for two years and then got a 13 Pro Max. I don’t regret it at all. Love the small form factor of the mini, but 60hz and ok battery life turned out to be a bigger drawback than expected. And no, I don’t play any mobile games.
I really wish we got a new mini iphone in 2024 !! I have been holding on to my SE 2020 and have not bought a new phone in hopes that apple will make a new mini iphone. But if it doesn’t, i’ll just switch to a pixel and save money.
I agree one hundred percent Apple should definitely come back with another mini. I myself have been considering buying a refurbished iPhone mini for the exact reason. Too heavy to lug around.
I still have the iphone 7, I finally am considering switching up and the iphone 13 mini is what I am considering. I was thinking of the iphone se 3rd gen but that looks identical to the iphone 7 and less impressed. Do you think I will be blown away compared to the 7? :D
Im currently on the 13 mini and its working fine with me but it currently doesn't last the entire day battery wise. I was looking to upgrade to the 16 pro as i love photography but maybe in 6 months time. But you have put doubts in my mind
Liked&Subscribed. My iphone12 was the best! My display went bonkers so I went to a 14. I hate it and have hated it since day one. I’m going to see what it will cost to fix My 12 mini… if it’s too costly, I’m going to a 13 mini. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I had the iPhone mini 13 for a few years. It’s the best sized phone. The A15 chip does everything one needs, and the battery is surprisingly good. I gave up on it because of the camera. I use the zoom a lot for nature stuff around the area, but never have a real camera on hand when a pelican or sugar glider is infront of me. Couldn’t go all out Max, but went with regular 15 pro. Camera is a huge improvement. I would have gone 15mini if it had the regular 15 camera. Wish it caught on better.
This opened my eyes. Made the upgrade from SE to 15 Pro. Getting used to no home button and the bigger phone. Love the new features and better screen quality and cams but I agree a mini that is advanced enough to be with the flagship model but slightly downgraded and affordable would be nice along with being smaller as I still am getting used to feeling the weight and size in my pocket
I'm in the same boat with you Vittor! However, I don't own a separate camera, and it's so convenient for my "phone and camera" to be the same device. So, I ultimately leaned more towards the latest 15 pro max. I don't mind its size in my hands but I DO mind its size when I'm traveling. I have to store my 15 pro max in a designated fanny pack LOL. I think I'll compromise for a regular 16 or 17 pro (not max) when they arrive. The minis were my favorite, they just needed the powerful camera -- especially for those of us who don't carry separate cameras.
"The Pro Max is a status symbol." Such a spot-on observation. I LOVE my iPhone 13 mini and plan on keeping it until Apple no longer supports it. I do disagree about the camera. The photos I've taken with the 13 mini look outstanding to my eye. But, this is probably very subjective. Apple made a mistake discontinuing the mini line.
Thats a short sighted, ignorant statement. Its only a status symbol for those who use it as such. For people who buy it to have more screen real estate because thats their ideal idea for a smartphone, its genuinely a device they bought to have a bigger screen.
Currently most of influencer perceive about 13 mini, but it was needed three years ago. You can see within months or year most of influencer mostly apple influencer made videos and appreciated about 13 mini.
Thanks all for the support! My minimal tech setup for iPhone 13 mini is out now: ua-cam.com/video/jJHHQ7qzc48/v-deo.html

Danke!
I did the exact opposite switch and I couldn't be happier. The battery performance is worlds apart. You have to charge the mini more often, so the battery will degrade a lot quicker. You might be happy with the battery life at first but it will get worse. And it gets worse faster than with the bigger phones. I agree, the 13 mini may be the best phone apple made and I would love to see a version with improved battery performance / technology in the future. It just feels right in your hand.
Love the 13 mini so much, very little compromise in a perfectly portable form factor. It really is the best.
whats the name of the widget on the max phone from the thumbnail?
I also switched from the max to the iphone 13 mini. I love that it fits in my pocket and my small bags. I have not upgraded to the 14 nor the 15 because I do not want to switch back to a big phone.
I just switched from the iPhone 12 to the 13 mini. I have the blue one as well and absolutely love it.
Got mine today refurbished. Got it for $380. I hope I made the right decision.
I've been on Android my entire life, and i switched to the 13 mini. I wanted to try out iOS, since everyone always bugs me about iMessage...This video perfectly sums up my experience. I really hope the iPhone SE update in 2025 results in a "13 min pro" experience.
I own a Mini iPhone 13, I won’t go back to a larger phone. I find the camera is fine, it isn’t a Pro nor has the higher specs of the 15 but the camera is the same as the standard iPhone 13. They say covid with everyone being at home the disadvantages of a large phone was forgotten. Plus the Mini isn’t small, it is as large as the original plus phone of the past. What has happened the phones of today are monster bricks. Plus it’s battery is fine for all day use, again expectations a phone should go 2 days of use is something new. I am hopeful a new mini iPhone may be possible but not soon. The iPhone SE is rumour to be larger more a iPhone 13 in size. I brought a second unboxed iPhone 13 mini ready to go if my current one is lost, dies.
5:18 didn’t neglect that group, thats what the regular Pro does. Theres no space for all the stuff you’re asking for on a mini phone. This is coming from a 12 mini user. You shouldn’t be expecting the implausible from small component estate.
Man, I really hate corporate greed. They’re always upselling us and giving us less for more just to maximize their profits.
I have the iPhone 13 mini and I was so bummed when they discontinued it. I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I need to upgrade to another phone I like my phone to disappear in my pocket and not be bulky.
I purchased my iPhone 13 mini refurbished. I really should’ve picked up a 512 but I have a 256 and it runs like butter. I really really like it. I also have an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I wish Apple would bring back the smaller form factor like a mini, and like you said, make it a pro version. I would totally buy one!
I did exactly the same thing (14 pro max to 13 mini) after deeply regretting moving from a 12 mini to the 14 pro max due to battery life concerns. The 13 mini is a perfect daily driver for an average user like me and I never needed the power or camera of the bigger phone although I know some people really do. I so wish for a pro mini and would pay top dollar for one but my 13 mini is just fine.
Couldn’t agree more. I just bought a 13 mini for the third time. Also owned the 12 mini. Every time I ‘upgrade’ from the mini, I end up buying a mini again. I called this last one ‘13 mini for life!’ So there’s that. :)
in a few day i'll get 13 mini new...after 15 pro i wish this model be worth
I did the same. Staying with mini 13 until new mini comes along.
Still rocking my iPhone 13 mini until now. I'm not planning to let this go, unless Apple decided to discontinue the support. My battery health is down to 86% but still lasts a whole day.
I have a regular 13 at 80% battery and minor cosmetic damage. I’m heavily considering getting a mini since I’m stepping away from social media and the idea of a tiny phone is great for me right now.
Great review!
I'm still rocking my 12 mini!!! lol Love the phone. I don't think it's small at all. Modern phones are way too big. If ever Apple makes a new Mini, I'll be first in line to get it!
Hey, why the icons on the Home Screen of your 15 pro max look different?
The iPhone 12 mini is what finally swayed me back to Apple after over 12+ years of staunch android. (I was using the Samsung S24 ultra beast and the small size as a side phone lured me well) now iPhone has been my primary
Currently I’m using blue 13 mini for my secondary phone and it’s great! But it’s hard to find the accessories😢
"The camera is just not good" like bro wtf, it has the same camera as an iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. I've used an iPhone 5s until 2022 and it still takes phenomenal pictures
I also recently had a 15PM and dropped down to a 13 mini, but I move to a normal 15 and then moved back to a 15 Pro. I did love the form factor, however the battery life didn’t quite suit my daily usage.
Two days ago, I lost my 13 mini in our river. I ordered a 13 pro now because of the camera. I already know that I'll switch back to the 13 mini due to the size and - as you highlighted - the detox effect. I would love to see a 17 pro mini, too!
what society lacks is honesty and authenticity. some are blind to the benefits of a smaller phone or, worse, choose to ignore them because of the addiction they've submitted to. I'm talking about the addiction towards living a digitally-centred lifestyle: hours of mindless scrolling, sharing everything about yourself on social media profiles, preferring to text remotely over meeting in person, being consumed by soulless, temporal trends and hivemind opinions. "oh man, I could never use a small phone, it would suck so much if I didn't have the battery life or the screen size to sustain these perfectly harmless, totally healthy, digital habits of mine..." small phones would really help alleviate a lot of problems in my opinion.
Watching this on my 15PM knowing I’m not upgrading this year and maybe wanting to downgrade to the 13 mini. I had the 12 mini. Loved it.
I totally agree. iPhone mini was (or still is) one of the most needed phones on the market.
What’s that widget? 0:56
Ive had mine for nearly 3 years now.. everything still excellent with it.. just spent $100 for a new battery install. The battery does last most full days for me. If it had a 90hz+ screen I wouldn't have any interest in a new phone.
I switched from a pixel 6, I really missed using a phone with one hand. It gives me more storage space in my pocket and feels amazing hands on
Still using mine except struggling to use camera for UA-cam videos as you camera in lowlight 😩
What's that cool widget at 0:55?
I had an iPhone 13 mini for 3 years. Today I switched to a 16 pro max. I loved how little it was, performed just as good as any iPhone, and if I needed a bigger screen, I would just use my iPad! It got to the point where my “max battery” was 60% and I was dropping phone calls, camera never got used bc someone always had a better pro model around. I feel like after 3 years it warrants an upgrade. If they brought back the mini (or even pro mini), I would be back in a heartbeat
I have 13 mini until now 2025, and I still love it. I wish Apple will consider to bring it back, just a awsome phone with this size
100% with you on a mini pro. I quit social media years ago (best decision ever) and my phone is used more for music, podcasts, light reading via Instapaper, notes, reminders, essentially more on the go productivity apps and audio consumption. I would love the pro though for the camera quality and longevity in terms of it maintaining it's performance for years to come.
mach mal ein video wie du bei 10:30 wo du drauf druckst diese icons gemacht hast sieht richtig nice aus
I have used the iphone 13 mini for more than a year and I am currently at 90% battery health I am able to last 2 days with a single charge by using Accessibility shortcut to reduce white point(75%) and also I turned off background app refresh since a lot of apps really don't make any use of the background refresh and it just wastes battery life. For context this is my only phone I have around 5 hours of screen time on average I don't use social media and use the phone mainly for work and Waze when I am traveling somewhere.
yes we need another mini series. i love small phone
SWITCHED TO 14 PRO MAX TO S24 ULTRA TO 13 MINI A WEEK AGO. IN ONE WEEK USE I OBSERVED I SHOULD BUY IT 3 YEARS AGO.
If they made the SE the mini lineup, it would be flawless!
13 mini has the exact same sensors as the regular 13?
Battery life and screen size are a benefit over the mini and a big benefit for a lot of people.
Loved the mini line up 😊
Mini was a perfect phone for me as I only use my phone for a few emails; texts and calls: I just got a 15 plus due to the screen size because of my eye health but if my health wasn’t bad.. I would’ve stayed with the mini: the accessories for it were perfect because of its dimensions and capacity. If you’re looking for media use, I would go for the pro models as they have battery but they introduced the plus models and I’m impressed with all the battery life.
I’ve had my 13 mini for two years now and still love it. I had the SE first gen prior and while similar in design which I prefer, it was heavier, but 13 mini design and weight made it much better. My battery is currently at 85% after two years and I intend to get the battery changed when it gets to 80% since I plan on having this phone for at least another 3-4 years. It’s a great phone and serves all my needs and is great part of my multi device system. Apple needs to realize that bigger doesn’t always mean better.
I love the mini iPhones. I wish they would release another soon.
I purchased a 13 mini brand new from Apple. Used it for two years and then got a 13 Pro Max. I don’t regret it at all. Love the small form factor of the mini, but 60hz and ok battery life turned out to be a bigger drawback than expected. And no, I don’t play any mobile games.
Sales isn't killing iPhone mini it was apple that killed it… as so many other things apple does. I wish the mini became a powerhouse like a pro.
I really wish we got a new mini iphone in 2024 !!
I have been holding on to my SE 2020 and have not bought a new phone in hopes that apple will make a new mini iphone.
But if it doesn’t, i’ll just switch to a pixel and save money.
What widget are you using at 1:00 ? Thanks
I agree one hundred percent Apple should definitely come back with another mini. I myself have been considering buying a refurbished iPhone mini for the exact reason. Too heavy to lug around.
I still have the iphone 7, I finally am considering switching up and the iphone 13 mini is what I am considering. I was thinking of the iphone se 3rd gen but that looks identical to the iphone 7 and less impressed. Do you think I will be blown away compared to the 7? :D
I love my iphone 13mini❤❤❤
Good review
I still have and use my iPhone 12 mini. I love that phone. Wish they continued the mini’s
Im currently on the 13 mini and its working fine with me but it currently doesn't last the entire day battery wise. I was looking to upgrade to the 16 pro as i love photography but maybe in 6 months time. But you have put doubts in my mind
“Annoying” feels polite! It feels quite the sinister when they walked away from the mini.
Still using a 6S as my mail, starting to run into software issues but still love the phone.
Liked&Subscribed. My iphone12 was the best! My display went bonkers so I went to a 14. I hate it and have hated it since day one. I’m going to see what it will cost to fix My 12 mini… if it’s too costly, I’m going to a 13 mini. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I had the iPhone mini 13 for a few years. It’s the best sized phone. The A15 chip does everything one needs, and the battery is surprisingly good.
I gave up on it because of the camera. I use the zoom a lot for nature stuff around the area, but never have a real camera on hand when a pelican or sugar glider is infront of me. Couldn’t go all out Max, but went with regular 15 pro. Camera is a huge improvement. I would have gone 15mini if it had the regular 15 camera. Wish it caught on better.
This opened my eyes. Made the upgrade from SE to 15 Pro. Getting used to no home button and the bigger phone. Love the new features and better screen quality and cams but I agree a mini that is advanced enough to be with the flagship model but slightly downgraded and affordable would be nice along with being smaller as I still am getting used to feeling the weight and size in my pocket
I agree with almost everything you said here, and the only reason I have the 13 Pro Max over the 13 mini is for the camera and battery.
What widget are you using at 0:56? It looks great!
Had a lot of iPhones, this 12 mini is the first one I’ve had a battery replaced to keep it going. Don’t know what I’ll do when it dies…😢
I'm in the same boat with you Vittor!
However, I don't own a separate camera, and it's so convenient for my "phone and camera" to be the same device. So, I ultimately leaned more towards the latest 15 pro max.
I don't mind its size in my hands but I DO mind its size when I'm traveling. I have to store my 15 pro max in a designated fanny pack LOL.
I think I'll compromise for a regular 16 or 17 pro (not max) when they arrive. The minis were my favorite, they just needed the powerful camera -- especially for those of us who don't carry separate cameras.
"The Pro Max is a status symbol." Such a spot-on observation. I LOVE my iPhone 13 mini and plan on keeping it until Apple no longer supports it. I do disagree about the camera. The photos I've taken with the 13 mini look outstanding to my eye. But, this is probably very subjective. Apple made a mistake discontinuing the mini line.
Thats a short sighted, ignorant statement. Its only a status symbol for those who use it as such. For people who buy it to have more screen real estate because thats their ideal idea for a smartphone, its genuinely a device they bought to have a bigger screen.
I want the green mini but Im scared it will be outdated real soon
13 mini is the best, wish Apple can make 16 mini and the buyers be happy 😊😊😊😊 0:46
Currently most of influencer perceive about 13 mini, but it was needed three years ago.
You can see within months or year most of influencer mostly apple influencer made videos and appreciated about 13 mini.
