13 mini user. One time I was at Target picking up an order and one of their employees (who was a teenager) thought I had an older phone because how small the screen is. I realized that a bigger screen represents more of a status symbol or newer technology. This perception could also be why the sales for 13 mini is so low.
Yeah, it’s sad to see where we’re at.
The tragic irony is that it’s far more difficult to build a capable small device than a large one. In that way, the mini is far more impressive.
Perfectly said!!!
You are not a user. Users are druggies.
@@ericB3444 Tron begs to differ.
Wow so true and great point on the status symbols!!! Best comment on this video by far!!!
I bought the iPhone 13 Mini despite having watched countless reviews suggesting the battery life was poor…improved yes but still not great. I took the plunge and have been thrilled to find my concerns were unfounded. For regular people like me who play a couple games, watch a couple UA-cam vids, check social media and the news during the day this phones battery is ample. I regularly go to bed with 30% remaining.
If you’re a normal user you will have ZERO issues.
Very true, I can maintain about 5-10% of battery at the end of my work day with the iPhone 12 as it is, and my co-worker with the mini surpasses my battery life with flying colors all around!
Exactly. I think people are buying the higher end models being afraid that the 13 mini will not be up to the task of a daily user with work family and entertainment. It is the opposite. I can do all this and still have power at the end of the day around 25-40% and all without carrying around a brick in my pocket. Going out on dog walks everyday and working on cars with a big phone after while is annoying imo. So after 2 years of owning the iPhone 11 and it being so big with a case caused me friction in my day to day life so the switch to the mini was a game changer in my daily life. And again battery life is not a issue at all for a daily user. If you wanna play games or watch videos at home just use a pc or a tv. If I had a big business though I would probably buy a 13 pro max since I would probably be using it a lot more doing business. Pick the right iPhone for your situation, don’t pick a iPhone because of what others think. iPhone 13 mini is the underdog IMO.
I have to agree with that as well. My 13 mini goes through all day, but I mainly do calls, email, music streaming. And at the end of the day I get 30-35% left.
Totally same. Also 13 mini s battery life similar to regular iphone 12. Its great for me
Can y'all tell me how much screen on time you get? I have been looking into the 13 Mini compared to the 12, so, this would really help with that decision.
I love my 13 mini and agree that it is the best phone I have owned. If apple does not renew the mini, I will probably hold on to the. 13 mini for as long as possible. I am someone who gets a new iphone every year. I am not having any issues with the battery using the 13 mini. I suspect that I may have an issue with batter life when traveling but, I’d rather have the mini 13 + snap on battery than carry a heavier phone. I hate big phones. I love the slick and unobtrusive 13 mini. After all that is the whole idea of a cell phone - unobtrusive portability. Go Lite and unencumbered - life is so much fun that way
how long does your mini go for?
yes how long does the battery generally last? I love the mini line up
do you still have the 13 mini? if notm what did you replace it with?
I bought the 12 mini and the 13 mini. I loved the 12 mini and never had any issues with it, the only reason I upgraded was because the statistics showed nobody bought the 12 mini, and the only way I can encourage them to keep making reasonably sized phones is to keep buying them. 13 mini is going to be my daily until they make another one.
There no more iPhone mini discontinued they have iPhone se 3 coming out soon
Money to spend lmao
@@hyprocon7973 Expensive now, yeah, but the last iPhone I bought was the 5, and if they're discontinuing the mini line this year it'll probably be another 6-8 years before they make one I like as much as this. It won't owe me anything by the time I'm done with it.
It’s gone. They will make 14 Max this year (non-pro)
Thanks you for this!
I sold my 13 Pro to obtain the 13 Mini. I never utilized the features of the 13 Pro to justify it, although 120hz is cool. It should arrived arrive today so I'll update my experience with it.
**Update**
Should have bought the 13 Mini in the 1st place. I have large hands. I went from a Xs Max to 13 Pro to 13 Mini. The size is comfortable to pocket and psychologically I find myself off the phone more which I feel good about. More living and less being glued to the phone.
same here, i don't really use the phone that much. planning on buying 13 mini, how was the battery life, and the stand by time, it will be great if i get a opinion about the battery from a light phone user, like phone calls, twitter.
@@arivaro The battery lasts about half a day if you’re constantly on UA-cam or playing mobile games like call of duty. If you’re too busy it’ll last you a whole day. I have a 20w charger so I need suffer from a drained battery for long. The real downside is it’s easy to misplace i. Other than that it’s very comfortable too carry, so much so it feels like you’re not carrying it! A good pairing for the mini would be an iPad
I replaced a 2020 SE with the 13 mini because I wanted a small phone but couldn't stomach the battery life and camera quality of the SE. I love my iPhone 13 mini.
Same
I have an se and know at least 12 other people that have an se, and we all have issues with battery life, Apple really took an L on it, Im now looking at a 13 mini
I have an SE 2020 as well! Does it feel smaller to you or about the same?
@@MommywithaCause For me they feel more or less the same, but I would say to go try one out in a store near you. The screen is way bigger though, because of the edge to edge design.
@@jsebrech yea, I’ve been trying to do that! Hahah I was dead-set on the mini but have also thought about the 13. I had the 7+ and it’s even bigger than that. I had the 8 and also and now the SE 2020. I love being able to use one hand for typing but I read about the screen cutting off for testing and browsing.
I have an iPad 8 so I can focus more on browsing on it and I guess the small keyboard for texting won’t be an issue if I can do t now. I just want the battery life to be a huge upgrade compared to the SE! My only reason for considering the 13. :)
13 mini owner and I love it!!!! Perfect size and does not feel like I have a iPad in my pocket.
Truly underrated. Love the 13 mini. Equivalent specs to the regular 13, other than the physical size and battery, but the 13 mini lasts the entire day for my needs (email, text, productivity, socials, reddit, discord, youtube, netflix, browsing, etc.). Hope it’ll return in the future, maybe in 2024 or 2025, which would be a good time to upgrade again.
I bet it will, the same way the SE came, hopefully SE 3. I just found my old 6S and the feeling is way better than my current 12 pro.
13mini here gets me through the entire day because a phone is a phone and a computer is a computer.
I own an iPhone 13 Mini. It’s portable, light, pocketable and discreet - the way smartphones should be. I so love it and never regret using it since day one!
I wonder if part of the reason that the 12 mini and 13 mini didn’t sell so well is because of the SE 2020 being released ahead of them. Maybe everyone who wanted a small iPhone got an SE by the time the 12 mini came out.
I love my 13 mini though. I wish more companies would get back into the compact flagship space.
Ur prob right I ended up getting the se 2020 and I just now upgraded to the 13 mini Bc it’s not over priced and I never really liked big phones that why I have an iPad Air 4th gen but the batter my life so far with the 13 mini is great I’m enjoying this phone a lot more then the se
That was deffo true for me. I bought a 2020 SE when it came out, and just picked up a 13 mini! I don’t consider these phones small lol! I still think iPhone 5 is the sweet spot!
also the price for the SE is a lot cheaper than the mini, If you count by USD, then it is 300 more, but by % is 60-70% more. That's why. Many people like the SE shape, which is curvy and thinner. I would say the 13 mini will be discontinued under the mini name, but will be back as an SE for 2024 - iphone 15 gen
Upgraded from a 5 years old 8 for the camera, 13 mini is exactly what I needed.
I work in healthcare and have to wear a mask and face shield all day. I almost bought the SE because of the Touch ID however I went with the 13 mini and an Apple Watch 7. The watch might be the best Apple purchase I’ve ever made.
Great choice. I am also in health care and the mini so much easier to carry in my scrub pockets and less cumbersome to carry all day. Since upgrading from the 12 mini, I have not had an issue with batter life. Never have to recharge during the day.
@@Bmarker299 exactly. I have to carry an iPad mini with me all day too so the smaller and lighter is all good phone wise.
The next ios update (late march?) will have a feature that'll make faceID work with a face mask, glasses, scarf etc.
i hate the fact how tech reviewers have been pushing for the average consumer to get the mini by advocating how it's their favorite phone while off camera use the Pro or Pro Max.
because pro and pro max has more battery life, he even told that just for big battery he's using 13 pro/pro max.
I dig it. It doesn’t feel small anymore after a couple of weeks. Had the 11 and it felt to heavy and didn’t like lack of reach across the screen one handed. I’m very happy I chose the 13 mini. It’s much lighter and I can just about reach the upper opposite corner one handed. I am not always on my phone so battery life works for me just fine.
I like the mini as well. If the bigger phones were lighter, I would get the bigger phone just cuz I like watching movies on my phone.
LOVE my 13 mini. I have a charger on both of my desks and my car, so battery life is a non-issue. It’s not like I hold it in my hand all day,. When I set it down, I set it down on a charging pad. I LOVE my 13 mini!
I just bought the iPhone 13 mini and love it. I wanted a small powerful iPhone that would last for years and found it in the mini. You will not be disappointed.
I have the mini and find that the Apple Battery pack fits perfectly to the mini. With this (pop it on straight away when both 100%) it can last all day long easily. Also, it makes the mini even easier to grip. iPhone mini + battery pack it THE perfect combo. Try it and see. Thanks
Mini user here as well. The battery back is definitely something I plan to get when I start traveling this year. Apple’s MagSafe wallet fits the same way, I recommend that for any mini user. MagSafe accessories is one of my favorite aspects with the mini. They fit perfectly and the grip is perfect like you said. After having this experience I do not want to go back with larger phones again.
I have the 13 my wife the 12 mini ….battery fantastic on the 13 not so good on the mini , so for Christmas I bought her the battery pack , it’s turned the mini into an all day power house …..yes the battery pack is expensive , but , it is so so convenient ……one way of looking at it is , mag safe costs £40 and pack costs £100 …as the pack can be used as a mag safe then attached to phone when out and about , that convenience is in real terms £60 …that in my opinion IS value ….
I don't own a battery pack and don't intend to. My logic or 2cents opinion which means nothing...
The whole point of the Mini is to keep it a "Mini", being able reach the whole screen with your hand the phone rest in. If you put the battery pack on it become bulky, heavier, and a little more difficult getting in and out your jeans, It becomes not so "Mini" anymore.
I would also point out that the majority of folks probably have a charger in their car and at their work place if charging is needed. My 2 cents!
@@4knucklehead the battery pack is quite slim, the phone with the batter pack is about the size of a wallet
Definitely the 13 mini for. I was the one always went for the Max, but this year I went for the mini and I don’t miss the pro max at all. It’s compact and it feels more personal. I always carry a charger so battery life is not an issue for me. Love, love, love my mini, would buy it again and again. I’m very happy with it. I call it my baby mini.
I’m watching on an 13 mini because of you and I love it. Thank you for the suggestions!
Same here
Got the 12 mini in November 2021 nd it’s doing great…I absolutely love the size of the phone nd the performance is just as good as it can get…I just love it❤️❤️
I was debating between the mini and the max this year because I thought the middle size was either too big or too small a lot of the time, ended up going with the max to have a companion display to watch instructions while working on my iPad, but if I didn't need that I would have gone with the mini no doubt.
I started my iPhone journey with the iPhone 13 mini and so far I'm loving it. Ease of use and the size is just enough for my needs
I upgraded from 7 to 13 mini. Battery problem sorted. So much easier to use with one hand. Slightly bigger screen. And so much faster. I really couldn’t ask for anything more.
Preordered the 13 Mini on launch, upgraded from the iPhone 11. This is by far the best phone I've used till date, extremely happy with the purchase. In fact the battery life is a non issue since my iPhone 11 gave me similar battery life.
From the comparison video mini 13 battery beat the 11 and 12
I bought the iPhone mini 13 after watching you UA-cam video and I love it. My other phone is a S21+ ultra and it is a beast but this mini is an absolute delight. Easy and light to carry with functional high end capabilities. Charging is not an issue now because we are aways close to a power source. Also coming back to IOS was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend this phone as a second phone if you can afford it. But for now, my Samsung is kept in a drawer as I want to fully check the potential of the mini iPhone and so far no disappointment whatsoever. Thanks for the video!
Picking up a 13 mini next week love the size ..
I bought the 13 mini on launched day. It was the first time I ever bought an Apple product on launch day, quite an interesting experience btw. Overall, I really love it. It’s my favorite Apple product I own and keep in mind, I also have the M1 MacBook Air and 2018 iPad Pro, both of which have impressive hardware as well. The 13 mini just feels amazing to use because of it size. Also, the fact that I get almost no compromises from picking the smaller phone compared the “standard” iPhone 13 is just amazing. It’s just amazing how a phone as small as the the 13 mini has a screen that feels immersive, a very impressive camera, and pretty good battery life.
So it really does break my heart to know that not a lot of people but the smaller iPhones. I mean I get why. The “mini” monicker does imply “less” or “cheap” which is true to some degree. The 13 mini is the cheapest new flagship iPhone which is still pretty expensive. But that shouldn’t deter people from buying it. But I guess the real reason is just the screen size. While 5.4” is big enough for me and likely for most people. When there are bigger options available, whether if it’s from the more expensive market or the cheaper price range in the Android side, people will naturally go to the largest screen size they can get. That’s what happens when the smartphone has become people’s primary computer. They want to have the largest screen size available that they can carry around. While I think that sentiment is stupid and people shouldn’t be on their phones too much. It’s something that the market wants, and there’s nothing we can do to change that.
So it will be sad to see the mini go. But at least I can be happy with the fact that I bought something that represents an interesting chapter in the history of the iPhone.
I love the mini I am sick of my old big "brick" phone but I cannot afford it :(
Finally got the 2 day battery phone and it’s still worth the hassle of the purchase.
I’m starting to use the other features of the reachability etc more than before.
The 120 hz feature isn’t noticeable for me, so far. But I haven’t switched it into the 60 hz locked yet.
The only thing I need to work on the muscle memory of the nightly charge cycle life.
This was the first year I didn't buy a Max. I've enjoyed the size of my Pro but I recently picked up a Mini for my kiddo...UM WHAT! I might be going to a Mini soon.
I have only one full time job get 2 days out of a charge. On my days off I tend to use the phone more and can comfortably get one day with room to spare. Love the size! Works for me. Measuring the mini’s sales on its own, compared to all phone models, including Android, I bet it is a huge success by that measure. Thanks always for the great vids :)
Yup, just got my first iPhone 13 mini today! LOVE it! Great for jogging! NOT a brick! 👍🏻
I got a blue 13 Mini back in October and I love it. The size is compact, but not too small, and the battery life is every bit as good as the iPhone 11 I upgraded from. I've yet to kill it in a single day, and there are days where I intentionally don't charge it, just to stress and see if it's actually good battery life or if I'm just saying it is to make me feel better about my purchase (which sounds super weird, now that I type it out). Even when I'm pushing 7 hours of SoT (mainly through UA-cam, Reddit, Instagram, and ESPN apps), I still haven't killed it before I go to bed. The only actual downside I've noticed so far from the mini is that the speakers aren't quite as loud as some of the larger iPhone models, but that's really quite alright because I tend to keep my AirPods on me everywhere I go. Overall I'm very happy with the mini - and the blue color is just fantastic.
I bought the 13 mini after owning the 12 Pro Max and although I miss the battery and camera, I love the mini! It fits so much better in the hand and pockets.
I’ve had the 13 mini for a month now and I love it, the battery life isn’t the best but it’s still good and everything else about this phone is just as good as the more expensive models
I’ve had mine for about a month as well. One thing I did just recently was turn off the auto dim/brighten setting for the screen. It isn’t constantly adjusting the screen brightness anymore and it seems to have helped with the battery life on mine!
@@Yodes08 I did the same, it works like a charm
I have it, I love it. I always had a Plus/Max sized iPhone but I can't go back.
Love my 13 mini and will keep it for as long as I can. 👍🏾
I bought my iphone 13 mini this new year. The best buy ever! This is my first iphone and it’s like the best piece of tech i have ever owned. Amazing thing. After a little while, one doesn’t even notice the screen size. Literally 10mins into any movie or video or even a game, you are so engaged into it that you wont even notice the size. Just like you dont notice 3D movie 10 mins into it
iPhone 6s Plus user here! Just bought the 13 mini today. Will arrive tomorrow. Great video!
The 13 mini is a nice proposition tbh. A phone that you can comfortably fit in your pocket and the palm of your hand without sacrificing much specs from the more expensive variants. I would buy one in a heartbeat if I had the funds for it 😅
Im an Australian in the Philippines and I had to pay $1160 (AUD) for one!
I listened to you and bought it. I looooooooove it!!!!!!
I’ve had an iPhone 8 since 2018 and decided it was time for an upgrade, and decided on the 13 mini, it’s coming tmrw and I’m rlly looking forward tp it
I bought the iPhone 12 mini and loved it so much, I bought the 13 mini.
The battery optimization is so much more improved.
You have been doing, great videos man> i love your stuf and watch it always.
Got the regular iPhone as earlier even I was inclined towards the mini. But regular one having more battery life made the decision easier. Also not to forget, the way phones have been getting bigger, in a couple of years regular is gonna be the mini in eyes of the regular customer!! My previous phone was a oneplus with a much bigger screen. At first I was sort of afraid how I would adjust to the smaller screen but the comfort it gives is unbelievable, wouldn’t trade this for any bigger phone..
Just about to buy the mini, most-likely. I like small, too, but thinking about the Pro because I like the extra camera features, but your description of this camera I think, sells me. And, FWIW, I’m one who has kept my phone a long time. I’m upgrading from the 6s. I’m guessing that pretty much every upgrade, including battery life is going to feel like heaven to me. :) Thx for the review. :)
Yo mister with the most beautiful name ever! 🤣
Just wanted to say hi and greetings from The Netherlands. I do miss your camera reviews man!
To be fair... I did buy it. Best phone I've ever owned. Upgraded from iphone 8. Keep up the great content!
I currently have an iPhone XR, which I upgraded from a 6S. I remember being bummed that there wasn't anything smaller at the time because even in the store, the XR felt like a brick. I've gotten used to it sorta, but it still feels kinda big. I drop it a lot and I get hand cramps if I try to hold it with one hand for too long. I CANNOT WAIT to get my pink 13 mini! It's so cute, and more importantly, comfy in my hands. I'm also not a ~content creator~ or a business person or anything like that, so I'm sure I'll be more than fine with the battery life.
Also it's so crazy to me that a phone that just a few years ago would be a regular-ass sized phone is now called "mini" lol
2:03 yes, i think part of the problem and why small phones are going away is because people feel like the top end phones are the only ones that will work for them and that the midrange stuff(probably the best for most people, such as the regular 12 and 12 mini) are seen as low end phones that aren't good enough.
I did buy it. Should be here tomorrow. I can’t wait!
I bought the 13 mini a week ago and i can confidently say that if you use dark mode, with moderate use like calls, light email, FaceTime for about an hour, you can get about 1.5 days of battery life. It’s not the best but I know exactly how long it’s going to last and it hasn’t caused any problems for me. The benefits definitely far outweighs the con which isn’t really a con
I have a 13 pro. If the mini had 120hz and a better battery, I’d 100% buy it!
Can't. The battery life would take a substantial hit. 90hz with a thicker chassis to accommodate a bigger battery could work.
I just got this phone a couple weeks ago as a 'compromise' between the SE and regular, but it's turning out not to be a compromise AT ALL. It sounds weird, but the smallness combined with the slight extra thickness of the 13 gives it a great feel in the hand. Like a really good stumpy eraser. Just a really good build quality and super sharp display.
Thank you for a great review. It tipped my choice to the 13 mini for my new phone. I love the smaller form factor so your review made it easy to decide.
I am an android use but want an iphone mini...I just hate lighting cable. Hate to have more cables at home. If they upgrade this year to USB c then I'm switching.
I have been using the 12 mini for the last six months and I’ve just been blown away using it every second. Whatever I do throughout a day, going to college or hanging out at the mall, the battery lasts me a whole day without any hitches. And this is me not compromising. If I plug in the phone at night and I wake up with 100%, with my 5-6 hours of screen on time, I usually end up the day with 40-56% of battery on a regular day.
I really hope Apple doesn’t discontinue the mini lineup after the 13, because there’s still a huge market for people who love small compact phones. It’s just not as prominent and seen, because of others chasing behind the brick sized Pros and Pro Maxs.
I like a small form factor but I also stream Netflix quite a lot on my phone.. should I get the regular 13 or 13 mini
I got my iPhone 13 mini yesterday and I love the weight and size. Let’s see how the battery does 👍 It reminds me a little of my old iPhone 4, especially with the case having a similar shape 😅
Where do you get the wallpapers?
I went teen mini and I did so with the full knowledge that I’m going to be doing filming on it. I bought some Sandmarc lenses and filters and external 128 GB lightning flash drive. I can collect all my material, dump it on my iPad mini six, and edit it on my M1 iMac 24 inch. I’m a happy pup.
I had the iPhone 10s Max and didn’t want another VCR in my pocket. Got the 13 mini and gotta say it’s also my favorite phone of all time. Apple should strongly consider keeping the line alive and a mini Pro would absolutely take my money.
Team mini for the win!!! 13 mini owner right here and I LOVE this phone!
I really like your videos and I love to watch even more coming from you. So I am staying tuned for more and more best videos from you, I hope you will not dissappoint us. See you soon,
Might switch to mini next year because of this video!
First I’d like to say I love watching your videos and find them incredibly informative.
Second, I bought an iPhone 13 mini about 6 weeks ago, I love it to bits! I love the size, it’s barely noticeable in my pocket. I have had some fun taken out of me by family, wondering why I have such a small phone as I’m a ver large guy at 6’3” with monstrous hands lol!
Battery wise, I don’t have an issue, I’m having a lazy day today watching UA-cam videos amongst other things like social media. I’ve spent nearly 4 hours on entertainment and still have 56%, which I think isn’t to bad for a phone that keeps getting slated for its battery..
Team Mini here haha, I also using 13 mini plus battery pack ! Worth value combo ! Both are small and easy to carry around compare to my old iPhone 12 Pro Max and s21 ultra !!!
Hey,can you please tell me where did you buy your phone case?The black nice texture one,thanks! :)
I LOVE my iPhone 12 mini. The reason I got that model is its size.
Margaret I have a 6 inch phone. I think I would enjoy the smaller size, easier in the pocket. For me a mobile phone is meant to be portable. Phones are just getting way too big. The iPhone mini looks so lovely and meant to be very powerful with a great easy to use camera. I think the wee iPhone would suit be very nicely
Love the 13 mini. Fingers crossed we get a 14 mini.
Buying 1 now. Thanks
I have a 12 mini and I love it
And the 13 is even better.
I think what seems to be the main issue is the name. When something is "mini" it gives the impression that it's not as complete as it's regular sized counterpart. Plus the small size of the phone gives the impression that you're getting less phone for almost the same price ($100 difference). It's a shame the 13 Mini is the last we'll see in a while since it sold so poorly.
I bought the 13mini! And I use it to make short films for my channel. I bloody love it :)
13 Mini - does everything the others do... and fits in my pocket.
I like a bigger screen, had a 7+ before. So when it was time to get a new phone, I had my eyes on the pro max. But they are a bit pricey. And I liked the big screen when I use the phone, not to carry it. And I would like to be able to use the pencil. I had hoped they would make that happen at least on the pro.
I ended up with a 13 mini and an iPad mini (5:e gen).
Love it. Easy to carry and hold. And a bigger screen, and I can use the pencil.
have a 12 mini its been year and half and I love it
What charger do you use for your phone?
The 13 mini is perfect. I bought one of the magsafe Anker battery packs just in case, but I've maybe used it a handful of times. I miss the telephoto lens of the Pro phones more than I worry about battery life, but that's all and it's worth the size/weight trade off every time. Will be keeping this for sometime if the mini line has come to an early end.
Hey if the mini's really are discontinued then that just makes it even more special. Last of a dying breed.
Thanks…while I did not purchase a 13 mini, I appreciate it. Blessings on your day.
Seeing this on my 13 Mini. The 12 Mini is now in my desk drawer, turned off, until I give it to someone. The difference? Battery. The 12 Mini is a disgrace in that regard, similar to the SE 2020. The 13 Mini, on the contrary, if you use ALL the correct power saving strategies, CAN (most days) hold on until bed time. That alone was a monumental progress. But, of course, it is not anything to write home about - just a welcome and much needed capability. The “other” reason why I love and use it? Easy: very very few compromising here - it’s basically as capable as its big boy companions. There - I just said exactly what you did - from personal experience. Oh, one thing: My shirt pocket voted strongly for this form factor and light weight! And my eyes are not complaining either! 🤩
absolutely one of the best iPhones ever, it is a joy to hold and use and lightweight too.
im actually saving up to buy a 13 Mini in 2 months 😂
i can buy it right now, but i like keeping some cash around, just in case.
the size is just freaking awesome, dude!
also the thing that i find hard to wrap my head around is the fact that the main camera sensor is the exact same from the 12 Pro Max.
for me, at least, the 13 Mini is literally perfect.
You'll love it! If you're looking for the smallest iPhone with the best camera possible, this device is the 13 mini!
I was thinking of getting the iPhone 13 mini for the simple fact that it fits into my drone remote with less hassle than a bigger phone. Plus like you, I need portability over battery life. I shoot videos on the go and can plug in my phone anytime I want.
Now a 13 mini user. Absolutely love it!!
I've had a 12 mini for a year, I use it pretty constantly for all sorts of things (although honestly less than I did before with my X, which was the goal in getting a mini), and I usually go to bed with 25%+ remaining! Let's acknowledge that Gary has an incredibly niche use case (edit: which he did in the video) and that for almost everyone else the battery life on the mini iphones is absolutely fine lol
That's awesome, my 13pro ends the day with 85%+
i end my dat with 40 to 50 procent battery xD
You look different with the hat 😂😂 like I thought that was a whole different person for a sec when you was showing the selfies and everything.
I just bought mine today and have been loving it . Moved from the 12mini to the 12 pro max felt too big went to the 13pro feels good but needed a small phone. Tried the se 2020 but just had to come back to my very love. Missed this size so much so would be rocking the pro and mini
I have the 12 mini. Love it. Especially since I came from the iPhone 7. Fits in my pocket and does all I need. If I need more screen, I just use my iPad.
I still have my iPhone 12 and I’m using it daily with no regrets. It just fits anywhere and battery is not an issue to me. But, I concur, people nowadays use and abuse their phones all day long, so a long battery life might be a crucial detail for many. Still, for me, a medium/small sized mobile phone makes sense and Apple is one the few (if not the only) company still offering the choice.
I have one strange doubt. Can I you download and store Apple Music songs since I have Apple music subscription on Apple watch SE GPS model (not cellular), does Apple watch SE have internal storage. If yes, can they played on Airpods Pro with just watch and no phone nearby??
I think one of the causes of low sales for mini models is the word "mini", maybe for customers it implies shrank capabilities of the phone rather than small size, maybe they just need to rename it iPhone 12 M or something
if apple added touch ID power button mini would've sold like madness
Watching this with my Mini tonight at 08:19 PM here at the Philippines, my last charge was earlier at 06:30 in the morning and I am a really heavy user of my phone. The battery works well when I am at home and connected to our Wi-Fi but when I go out and the phone uses 5G, the battery is a different story, but overall, I really love it's compact form and I am planning to buy magsafe battery packs to fix the worry of my battery going out when I am outside. Best 2020 purchase I ever had.
Turn off 5g in the settings and preserve better battery life. Enjoy!
I have the 12 mini. Love the size! Don’t love the battery as it is already only at 90% efficiency after little more than a year. So: upgrade to 13 mini, or 13 pro?
how about the mini with a magnetic powerbank? isn't it enough for one+ day of use? Mind you, I only need texting/calling and google maps
I switched to the 13 Pro Max from the s20 Ultra and wow as a first time Apple user I am happy to get out of the Android ecosystem. Love this promax all around. The size is not a concern for me but I can see others perspective on the situation. I have always went for the bigger phones since I use my phone for everything in day to day life. That is until I get the new iPad here in a few months😅tnx for the content luvinit 🤙🤙🤛🤜✌️👊💯💯wow I love this battery life sooooo worth it🔥🔥🔥
I have na iPhone X, is upgrading to a 13 mini worth it?
Those 65,000 *edit 75,000 EMAILS later in video* emails give me extreme anxiety! Thanks for the videos man! I really want a mini, but like you, I need the max!
I hope they keep the mini for the 14 series. I truly hope
