I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone Mini. I gave the Pro Max to my wife but I have loved the mini in every way. I love it’s size and ease of use. The pocketability of the phone is amazing. I hope apple doesn’t axe the mini phone in years to come.
Exactly my logic. It's like a sweet spot between the best innovations over the years and the original compact iPhone design. Never was a fan of the oversized, rounded aesthetic that was borrowed from Samsung.
Once I used the iPhone 13 mini for a couple of weeks, it’s hard going back to a full sized 2021 flagship phone, they feel ridiculously oversized and something not meant to go in a pocket nor being used one-handed. I was drawn to it because I spend quite some time running outside and I like carrying my phone with me, but now I see it like the natural size for everyday use. Very happy with it!
The iPhone 13 mini is the first phone I ever bought with my own money and paid in full. It was very much worth it. It’s just so nice to use and it’s the most unique phone Apple makes.
I’m saving up for it, and it’s going to be my first phone too. I’m very excited! :D I’m just making money off of chores though so it should take about 8 more months for me to get enough money… *oof*
I upgraded from my old iPhone 8 to the iPhone 13 mini. I walked right into the apple store and paid in cash. First phone I ever purchased by myself and I do love it. The size is literally perfect and the battery life is hella nice. There’s really not much wrong with it.
@@birthdayboi2040 the body is actually a bit smaller on the 13 Mini, but the screen is bigger. The mini has a 5.4 inch screen and the 8 has a 4.7 inch screen.
I think if you want a small phone, you should absolutely get this one. This is probably the best small phone on the market, and it probably will stay that way for some time. Apple are rumoured to be dropping the mini line next year, so if you want a small phone, get the 13 Mini now!
I upgraded from my 6s+ to this 13 mini, pretty much the same screen size as on the 6s+ but with no notches, and also it is so much lighter in the hand. For a little while I used a cheap android as an secondary phone, it has a humongous 6.5" screen, that phone barely fits in my pockets. I mean sure a bigger display is more nice for viewing content like netflix/movies/videos, but you sacrifice so much on usability and it's more a kin to using a small tablet than a phone, where everything becomes a two-hand action. I have relatively small hands and I can actually use my phone with one hand, that's really cool. The market is seemingly headed towards the synergy of a phone and tablet, remember the old phrase 'phablet'. Like the pro max is nearing 7" in screen size, there are literally cheap tablets with the same screen size and even apple's ipad mini is 8", might as well get a ipad mini for cheaper and use it as a phone. Jokes aside, I'd rather have two devices for two different uses - a tablet and a phone -, because if you have something inbetween, you will have compromises, and for someone like me, who uses their phone mainly as phone ie. checking mail, calling, texting, social media, news. Rarely do I use my phone for watching videos, and honestly that screen size is good enough for when watching stuff laying on your bed or on the couch, As for the battery life, for me it last's around 3 days on a single charge, since on an average day I'll have maybe 2h SOT and after two days the battery is generally around 30-40%, but since it's a small battery recharging it is quite fast. I'm sad to hear that apple is thinking of binning the mini lineup, but hopely this 13 mini will last me as long as my 6s+ did.
When you think about this in terms of poorer countries like India it makes sense. They can't afford to have a phone, tablet and laptop at the same. So they just buy a big phone to satisfy all of their needs and not have a problem with losing out of anything
2 years later and you can't get an android phone under 6.1 inches...and they also weigh so much these days too, average android phone is 190-200 grams, the weight is as big a problem as the ridiculous sizes now... That's why I am here looking at the iPhone Mini 13.
Transferred from Samsung A71 to this iPhone mini and when I am holding the A71, I feel like I am holding a tablet already. Mini is the perfect size and the software is really the sweet spot of the phone (compared to most android phones). Will stick to this for the next few years.
i have a Samsung A52 and while is a beast, The size is too big. I really like pixel 1, pixel 4a, owned a Xperia Z1compact. Seriously i'm planning to buy iphone 13 mini because i miss tiny phones
Went from my well loved 6s to the 13 mini and am really liking it, the screen is slightly larger than what I’m used to yet the body of the phone is a familiar and easy to handle size. Also the battery life is great, with my normal usage I’m getting two full days out of a charge with ample juice left over.
I really think Apple never should have moved away from the 5.8inch screen for the base model, that was a near perfect compromise. I like my iPhone 11, but it's certainly rather big and difficult to fit in most pants pockets, especially activewear.
I got rid of my 11 because it felt big and awkward because of the curved sides. Got a 12 Pro max and ehh it’s too big for comfortability. 13 mini is next. I love the size and feel, not to mention the reachability
Got the iPhone 14 pro max - bloody hate it. Unnecessary functions etc. It’s going back on Sunday. After seeing this going to go for the iPhone 13 mini.
@TwinTurbo Ray too bad there aren't any much choice for compact phones. Wish Sony would continue the compact series. Had the Z4 and X Compact back in the day, best sizes by far for me
@TwinTurbo Raythey really need to stop trying to get rid of bezels, i love having thick enough side bezels where i don't have to worry about accidental touches when i'm holding it. also, the notch just looks hideous, it's like a balding man desperately trying to keep what's left of his hair, trying to cover his now huge forehead by doing a comb over. either own the camera punch hole (which i'm not a fan of either but it is less obtrusive) or just have even bezels all around, even if that means the forehead and chin are more pronounced.
@@michaelgarvey2148 it’s simpler, which is a good thing if you just want a phone that works. I was using gesture controls on my galaxy note 10 before I switched so it wasn’t too jarring switching over, as most of the controls on iPhone are gesture based. Hardest part was giving up all the apps and games I bought on google play since iPhones use the App Store. Face ID is nice but I miss my finger print sensor.
It’s funny to hear you say the mini is “adorably teenie”….almost every iPhone before the iPhone X had a smaller screen than the 13 mini. What a difference a few years make! Not everyone (myself included) wants a huge heavy brick of a phone and I wish Apple would take heed and make the mini again in the future, as they shouldn’t have discontinued it so soon….they didn’t give it long enough to catch on.
My 12 pro max is a tank, but it’s so heavy and uncomfortable for just laying in bed and watching videos, especially without a case. I’m very tempted to trade it in for a 13 mini. I’m mainly worried about the durability, and I use my phone as a GPS while working so I want to make sure I can see the map fine while driving
The mini is such an amazing companion device. I truly keep it on my desk at all times when on my MBP and when at home, I generally use my iPad. I love having such a small footprint in my pocket. Such a shame that it is being discontinued. I understand the market doesn't want small phones. I hope they somehow keep this form factor moving forward at some point.
Got my product red 13 mini with 512gb a couple of months ago and I completely agree with you, the only thing I miss is the headphone jack but otherwise is a fantastic phone...so light and so portable...and so powerful as well...videos and photos are incredible,'m very happy.
Switched from my iphone 7 after 5 years staying with it. I must admit that I absolutely loved the 7 series (size, internal memory, still fast OS) and still today it’s working so I have zero complaints about it, and the 13 mini was just a well deserved refreshment for me in every way, I’m loving it to the fullest!!! I hope Apple keeps this line for years to come
I’m just being forced to upgrade from my 7 rn! My last iOS update nuked my cellular service which is super lame bc I would not have upgraded otherwise, but just put in an order for the 13 mini!
I still have the 5S and it dies every couple hours 😂so I finally pulled the trigger on the iphone 13 mini. i don't get the desire to have these bigger phones...
Touch ID has failed and angered me in so many critical moments when I needed to get into the OS that Face ID is actually a huge relief. I guess it depends on the different usage cases.
I have been dreaming that reliable android phone manufacturer would make a small sized flagship phone like this for some time now.. small, reliable and multipurpose.
What I find amusing is that you complain about the iPhone 13 Pros price when it’s comparable or cheaper than most other Android flagships . Complaining about the minis screen being too small to watch content well is like buying an electric skateboard and being annoyed it doesn’t have a sunroof. I will contend that the lack of Touch ID is bloody ridiculous though
I got the iPhone 13 mini two days ago as an upgrade from my previous iPhone xs. I used to change my phone quite frequently, but when I bought my new iPhone 13 mini, I felt like I didn’t want to buy any phone again because, for me, this phone is the most perfect in all aspects, and I guess this could be the reason why Apple doesn’t want to continue creating a small flagship iPhone again, because people who buy such a small and powerful iPhone like this could probably not buy any future iPhones anymore. The iPhone 13 mini is ideal! The only downside is the back-glass because I think it would be better if it was made from aluminum just like the 1st generation iPhone SE.
do you have any problems with the phone at all? like do you find it difficult to type with both hands as its too small or is the media consumption not satisfactory/immersive as the phone is too small? im planning on getting the 13 mini over the 12 but im not so sure
Switched to iphone 13 mini from Huawei P30 pro (always had full sized flagship android phones) After 2 days I almost sold iphone, had really hard times to get used to small size. But now I love it, standard iphone 13 looks to me like a joke - unnecesarilly big. Battery life- my previous phone had almost 2 days of battery life but in one day I really don't want to be more on the phone than the battery of iphone 13 mini allows.
Hey everyone in the comments I need your help. So i have the iphone 8 right now, the screen is cracked, the battery is bad and its super slow. I have the money to get the iphone 13 mini which is my dream phone, but, should i get the SE 3 because it has almost everything I need (apart fom the better camera, screen and battery life) OR, should I meet in the middle and get the 12 mini??? please type your thoughts because I'm so stuck
I looked for months before switching from my P40 Pro, and size was definitely a consideration. I purchased one and it arrives tomorrow. Shame Apple removed the mini from the product line, I fully expect to love it.
Great review!!! I have a 4 year old OnePlus 5T and though its ageing quite well, I'm tempted to get the 13 mini, the only challenge is here at India, its damn expensive :-( so holding on with my 5T until I can afford. But this would be my next phone (hopefully in a year from now)
I couldn't resonate more with the struggle to reach the top of the phone to go back on every single application. That was my hardest frustration when I've got the X, and to this date is a pain whenever I switch from my everyday android to the backup iPhone 🤯
Well what do you know.. the battery does really holds until the evening. And I started the day at 77% battery! 4 hours browsing the web at work on the phone and still have 20% left, I have nothing to complaint.
Just bought my first iPhone... Been using Android for 15 years. Love the hardware, don't even mind the notch... Fave unlock is worth it. However... The lack of custizability is painful. Almost returned the phone after I could add a custom ringtone. But that camera and video swung me... It's pretty amazing.
I bought my first iPhone recently mostly because of the design. In front, you can see the satisfying uniform bezels & rounded edges. At the back, You can see the simplistic yet premium look. Actually I am just bored using android for many years and want to try something new.😁 Still not a fan of ios though, but I think I will get used to it.
A colleague at work has one and id been tempted last year but battery anxiety moved me away… its so enticing as the size despite being small is like the Tardis and deceptively big
I prefer the larger screen on the promax because it feels more immersive when watching UA-cam or going on social media. And it has the best battery life so far, only problem is that it is too large to fit in pockets
Well this the problem it is a mobile phone so people should want a comfortable size not a brick if you want a large screen to watch utube movies social media just get a iPad
The fact that all you nerds in here are just commenting about the actual phone and not how ducking hilarious this lad’s video is, is just a shame. Good on you sir, this had me howling
I've got a Nokia CO1 Plus which cost me £59. Am toying with the idea of trying an Apple iphone for the first time. However as you say that notch is beyond weird and irritating. Everyone I know with an iphone is constantly going on about how little power they have at various times of the day, whilst I've never ever had a problem. It's strange there is no back button feature on iphones too. Anyway, for those with money to burn, I'm sure they think it's good.
i upgraded my phone from iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 13 mini because it is compact. But I am thinking of going back to my old iPhone because i really missed the telephoto lens. Also the battery is weak in iPhone 13 mini. I am not even a power user. I don't play games but the battery is weak. Too bad because i really like the size of it.
I upgraded to a 13 mini recently and love it! I was using an 8 plus for the longest time but ended up ruining it by leaving it in my pocket while swimming in the ocean lmao. I ended up just popping my SIM card in my old iphone 6s and used that for a few month until I got around to ordering a new one. At first I througfht the 6s sucked ass, the battery was crap and the gps in it was completely shot which got me lost on like the first day i started using it hahaha. But overtime I got used to the shit battery and just ended up using my phone a lot less through the course of the day (I didnt have some anti-tech apiphany I just used my laptop a lot more lmao), and the smaller size defefinetly grew on me (the smaller screen not so much though). So when I went to look into my options for a new iphone, I realized I could a phone that had the near-same dimensions as the 6s i grew to love, with a near-same screen size as the 8 plus I was missing. It was a no brainer!
Do you people even realize you can use any image you want or download from the internet as a wallpaper? You don't need some specially wallpapers app or place. Tons of image sites.
@@SIPEROTH do you realise that sometimes just downloading any 'wallpaper' has some quality and aspect ratio issues, even in wallpaper sites? Hes just asking a question, no need to be snark about it
The thing is…it really actually isnt that small…it’s more that phones now are actually enormous! This phone would’ve been considered normal size 6+ years ago. I HATE the fact you have to use 2 hands to comfortably use a phone now! I was always dropping my iphone X because of this and it wasnt even that big compared to the newer models! So I upgraded to the 13 mini and well chuffed with it
I mean, using an iPhone to watch a 2-3 hour movie is a stupid idea when you own a TV anyway. No one is watching films on their phone and if you are, use a tablet or a laptop - most complaints about these "small" phones is first world nonsense. I'm still using my 1st gen iPhone SE and can promise that the 13 mini would be a hell of an upgrade compared to what I'm using. People need to stop comparing phones to last year's model and look at the bigger picture of where the product fits in the market.
I bought Iphone 13 a week ago, the phone is good but the camera.... I have such a big flare on the pictures, any low light picture with even tiny source of light it makes the ufo flare effect. It drives me nuts so badly that i'm returning my Iphone tomorrow. I'm surprised that big youtubers don't talk about it. If anyone want's to see the samples of bad photos just send me message.
I've been wanting to go back to Apple for some time now (had a 6) and this is almost the perfect phone. I'm holding off for now as I'm too invested in the USB-C ecosystem, but that could change with the iPhone 14 mini 👀
I switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone Mini. I gave the Pro Max to my wife but I have loved the mini in every way. I love it’s size and ease of use. The pocketability of the phone is amazing. I hope apple doesn’t axe the mini phone in years to come.
In rumors because of the poor sales of the mini they probably are going to discontinue the mini. I hope the rumors aren’t true
@@mathmanchris666 the battery is to small if only had at 2700 mh battery would of been better instead of 2400

I used to change my phone quite frequently, but when I bought my new iPhone 13 mini, I felt like I didn’t want to buy any phone again because, for me, this phone is the most perfect in all aspects, and I guess this could be the reason why Apple doesn’t want to continue creating a small flagship iPhone again, because people who buy such a small and powerful iPhone like this could probably not buy any future iPhones anymore. The iPhone 13 mini is ideal! The only downside is the back-glass because I think it would be better if it was made from aluminum just like the 1st generation iPhone SE.
do you have any problems with the phone at all? like do you find it difficult to type with both hands as its too small or is the media consumption not satisfactory/immersive as the phone is too small?
im planning on getting the 13 mini over the 12 but im not so sure
Without doubt Chris is the best reviewer out there! Wish he could review everything before we buy it and yes I like the 13 mini
Switched to iphone 13 mini from Huawei P30 pro (always had full sized flagship android phones) After 2 days I almost sold iphone, had really hard times to get used to small size. But now I love it, standard iphone 13 looks to me like a joke - unnecesarilly big. Battery life- my previous phone had almost 2 days of battery life but in one day I really don't want to be more on the phone than the battery of iphone 13 mini allows.
had this phone and went straight back to my pixel 5, still the best smallish form factor phone around
Battery life still not quite good enough I presume
@@hman6159 if you're referring to the iphone then yes. The battery is still not quite there yet on the mini
Fcking want a Pixel 5, because of the uniform bezel like Apple's iPhones and it is smaller than my 4a, while having a bigger screen and battery.
The most honest review of 13 mini
Hey everyone in the comments I need your help. So i have the iphone 8 right now, the screen is cracked, the battery is bad and its super slow. I have the money to get the iphone 13 mini which is my dream phone, but, should i get the SE 3 because it has almost everything I need (apart fom the better camera, screen and battery life) OR, should I meet in the middle and get the 12 mini??? please type your thoughts because I'm so stuck
Got one, like it, like the compact size, fits snuggly & securely in my cycling jersey pockets pushed down sideways.
I wish more phones would be that size or even smaller....
Timmy cooks g string 😂😂
Your reviews are unique and worth watching
Greetings from Egypt
I love the iPhone 13 Mini. I have purchased one and am waiting for it to arrive. Big jump from iPhone 6... thanks for the review Tech Spurt!
subbing from 50k ish and now already passed 700k, congrats!!
Hurry up and get 1m subscribers, I could listen to you all day.
Congratulations on reaching 700000 subscribers 🎉❤️❤️
Love you man! you're too frickin funny. I am literally changing my vocab to match yours!
I looked for months before switching from my P40 Pro, and size was definitely a consideration. I purchased one and it arrives tomorrow. Shame Apple removed the mini from the product line, I fully expect to love it.
Great review!!! I have a 4 year old OnePlus 5T and though its ageing quite well, I'm tempted to get the 13 mini, the only challenge is here at India, its damn expensive :-( so holding on with my 5T until I can afford. But this would be my next phone (hopefully in a year from now)
Same situation with my 5T. Don't miss anything except a good camera. Planing to buy one next year after a price drop.
Wait for the iPhone 14 launch in September 2022. I am doing the same.
same same same
Cant wait for September..13 mini prices will drop and we could even get Airpods free in Apple Diwali offers!
Man You are fun, your analogies are the best, loved the one at 04:12 (stuff even more cash in Timmy Cook's G String). 🤣🤣
With my small dainty hands, I want a small phone too lol.
Congratulations for 700k subscribers 🎉
I just bought it for my wife for Christmas, I hope she will like it too! Thanks for all the great info 😀
Happy 700,000 Tech Spurt! Been here since 2019!
Okay this is good because for my birthday I’m getting iPhone 13 mine and I want white
We need your wallpapers link
My small hands loves this!!!
I couldn't resonate more with the struggle to reach the top of the phone to go back on every single application. That was my hardest frustration when I've got the X, and to this date is a pain whenever I switch from my everyday android to the backup iPhone 🤯
The 13 mini is ideal and the best size for any compact smart phone. The screen tricks you so it’s actually quite bigger than it seems.
I only paid £629 got it in red and I’m in love with it
Well what do you know.. the battery does really holds until the evening. And I started the day at 77% battery! 4 hours browsing the web at work on the phone and still have 20% left, I have nothing to complaint.
I just got the iphone 13 mini and i love it!!!
Please where can I get your kind of wallpapers????
I want a Samsung equivalent of this. I absolutely hate 6 + inch smartphones.
Just ordered my iPhone mini 🤩 inspired me to make my own unboxing/review!!
Congrats🎊 on 700k!
1:40 "fit in any body orifice...you won't feel it when it's there"
Underrated joke right there.
Damn our lad is at 700k now... and still going 👏
Just bought my first iPhone... Been using Android for 15 years. Love the hardware, don't even mind the notch... Fave unlock is worth it. However... The lack of custizability is painful. Almost returned the phone after I could add a custom ringtone. But that camera and video swung me... It's pretty amazing.
I bought my first iPhone recently mostly because of the design. In front, you can see the satisfying uniform bezels & rounded edges. At the back, You can see the simplistic yet premium look. Actually I am just bored using android for many years and want to try something new.😁 Still not a fan of ios though, but I think I will get used to it.
Sounds pretty lame considering the (over)price
hopefully they add some customization in ios 16 next year 😭
They are priced right if you buy thru a carrier. Otherwise you will pay full price which is high. However they are on par with Samsung phone pricing.
@@NathanAdmiraal they arent
A colleague at work has one and id been tempted last year but battery anxiety moved me away… its so enticing as the size despite being small is like the Tardis and deceptively big
To be honest its battery is great! Watch some battery reviews.
Actually the battery is better than 11, XS, and SE by a lot.
Lack of a TouchID fingerprint sensor is a dealbreaker. Staying with my old phone till Apple listens.
I have an XR, but I miss TouchID SO much!! :(
I prefer the larger screen on the promax because it feels more immersive when watching UA-cam or going on social media. And it has the best battery life so far, only problem is that it is too large to fit in pockets
why not use the ipad mini instead, if bigger screen is the way to go?
@@akak8299 I do have a MacBook, but most of the time prefer using my iPhone for everything, 6.7 inch screen size is enough for me
It's called a 'mobile phone' for a reason
@@gowthamgunashekar7114 ok?
Well this the problem it is a mobile phone so people should want a comfortable size not a brick if you want a large screen to watch utube movies social media just get a iPad
Are these around same size as IPhone Se?
The fact that all you nerds in here are just commenting about the actual phone and not how ducking hilarious this lad’s video is, is just a shame. Good on you sir, this had me howling
Switched from 13 pro max to 13 mini.. dont regret it.
I'm trying to convince me to jump from S21 to this small sh*....I think I'm gonna make a bike mistake, but I need to try
FINALLY A TECHSPURT REVIEW OF AN APPLE DEVICE WHICH IS NOT PURE BASHING. All it took was for Vodaphone to ship one for free it seems :P
Love all your work DOST! 👍👍👍
Guys where do you think he got his wallpapers for his phones.
I've got a Nokia CO1 Plus which cost me £59. Am toying with the idea of trying an Apple iphone for the first time. However as you say that notch is beyond weird and irritating. Everyone I know with an iphone is constantly going on about how little power they have at various times of the day, whilst I've never ever had a problem. It's strange there is no back button feature on iphones too. Anyway, for those with money to burn, I'm sure they think it's good.
i upgraded my phone from iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 13 mini because it is compact. But I am thinking of going back to my old iPhone because i really missed the telephoto lens. Also the battery is weak in iPhone 13 mini. I am not even a power user. I don't play games but the battery is weak. Too bad because i really like the size of it.
I upgraded to a 13 mini recently and love it! I was using an 8 plus for the longest time but ended up ruining it by leaving it in my pocket while swimming in the ocean lmao. I ended up just popping my SIM card in my old iphone 6s and used that for a few month until I got around to ordering a new one. At first I througfht the 6s sucked ass, the battery was crap and the gps in it was completely shot which got me lost on like the first day i started using it hahaha. But overtime I got used to the shit battery and just ended up using my phone a lot less through the course of the day (I didnt have some anti-tech apiphany I just used my laptop a lot more lmao), and the smaller size defefinetly grew on me (the smaller screen not so much though). So when I went to look into my options for a new iphone, I realized I could a phone that had the near-same dimensions as the 6s i grew to love, with a near-same screen size as the 8 plus I was missing. It was a no brainer!
I have the the 8 plus too haha mine makes my hands cramp sometimes with too much use
What the hell is an "apiphany"?
This is exactly what i am looking for! Thank you!
Where do you get your wallpapers 🥺?
Do you people even realize you can use any image you want or download from the internet as a wallpaper? You don't need some specially wallpapers app or place. Tons of image sites.
That's what I have asking and I never got any answer until now. Seems TOP SECRET
Woooow, are you serious
I never knew that
Thanks for the information
@@SIPEROTH do you realise that sometimes just downloading any 'wallpaper' has some quality and aspect ratio issues, even in wallpaper sites? Hes just asking a question, no need to be snark about it
The thing is…it really actually isnt that small…it’s more that phones now are actually enormous! This phone would’ve been considered normal size 6+ years ago. I HATE the fact you have to use 2 hands to comfortably use a phone now! I was always dropping my iphone X because of this and it wasnt even that big compared to the newer models! So I upgraded to the 13 mini and well chuffed with it
iPhone 13 mini has gesture to back when you swipe on left. Don't you know that ?
Do you have a review on 12 mini vs 13 mini? Which one would you recommend more?
I mean, using an iPhone to watch a 2-3 hour movie is a stupid idea when you own a TV anyway. No one is watching films on their phone and if you are, use a tablet or a laptop - most complaints about these "small" phones is first world nonsense. I'm still using my 1st gen iPhone SE and can promise that the 13 mini would be a hell of an upgrade compared to what I'm using.
People need to stop comparing phones to last year's model and look at the bigger picture of where the product fits in the market.
wallpaper?
8:46 OMG what a surprise man, one of the best shows ever
What anime is that background from?
I bought Iphone 13 a week ago, the phone is good but the camera....
I have such a big flare on the pictures, any low light picture with even tiny source of light it makes the ufo flare effect. It drives me nuts so badly that i'm returning my Iphone tomorrow.
I'm surprised that big youtubers don't talk about it.
If anyone want's to see the samples of bad photos just send me message.
Where, I wanna see
This was the funniest AND insightful review I've seen, haha. Thanks!
I've been wanting to go back to Apple for some time now (had a 6) and this is almost the perfect phone. I'm holding off for now as I'm too invested in the USB-C ecosystem, but that could change with the iPhone 14 mini 👀
Unfortunately they discontinued the mini version for 14 series
