I Switched iPhone 13 Mini to iPhone SE in 2024. Here’s why...

  • The iPhone SE is the cheapest iPhone you can buy. And as someone who loved and fully embraced the minimalism of the iPhone 13 mini, I assumed this would be the same situation. See my surprising results and more in the video.

    I upgraded to a 13 Mini in January this year, and I absolutely love it. It has the same footprint as my iPhone 7 which, at the time, wasn't considered "Mini".
    I was able to get a mint condition 13 Mini in Product Red, with 100% battery. At the time, the Amazon Apple Store still had new ones on sale, but pink was the only colour still in stock.
    I'm not a fan of full cases, and I don't want to hide the gorgeous red, so use a bumper and MagSafe grip. I've got a MagSafe battery bank that l also use as a stand to trigger Standby Mode. I use an iPad Mini too, and am impatiently waiting for its upgrade.
    I was hoping Apple might use the 13 Mini frame for the next SE. If the company thinks we don't want Mini iPhones/iPads, it is VERY wrong.
    Thanks for the content.

    You have many cover cases with magsafe built-in, the screen size is good for what it is meant for, the rest is a matter of taste. I prefer touch id and I don't like working on ios without a button. The experience is closer to iphone 8 than iphone 6.
    I bought one as soon as it appeared, and I bought the other recently and keep it in the box as a spare, I would never buy 13 mini, it's pointless

    If you use a phone like its a phone with some extra tools then the battery lasts all day, the screen size is fine, nothing feels squished, the camera does great and its an all-round great phone.
    If you use your phone like it's your whole world then you'll blast through the battery, be dissatisfied with the camera and you'll want a bigger better screen so you can really be sucked into the content machine.
    I've been running an iPhone 8 as my daily for a few months now and as someone who is most like the former, this phone is perfectly fine for me. In fact I prefer it over an iPhone 15 Pro Max Plus Ultra.

    My only issue with the iPhone SE 2022 is that it has a 2x2 MIMO antenna array while the 13 Mini has 4x4 MIMO. I prefer the home-button and thinner design of the iPhone SE3 but the connectivity issues concern me, a bit.

    • @iMichaelBrien
      @iMichaelBrien 19 днів тому +1

      @@DuramaxDiesel66 Multi-Input Multi-Output. More MIMO antennas means that there's more 'highways' for data to travel on to and from your device. The SE 2022 doesn't have the capability of handling millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G, it can only process sub-6 5G. Though mmWave isn't crucial anyway, only having two MIMO antennas does create issues, because 5G functions better when there are more lanes on the data highway for data to travel on. When I owned an iPhone SE 2022, I kept my cellular connection on 4G LTE because once 5G was enabled, I could watch the battery % drop rapidly. 5G is a power consumer on the SE 2022. Is it a deal breaker? I don't think so but I did experience call drops and interruptions during phone calls on the SE, and I don't have those issues now on an iPhone 13.

I had the SE but sold it after a month because of battery. SE is best for our parents or even grandparents. It is A really basic phone, call and messages.

      To me, i see the top and bottom chins as a feature. I'd rather have a smaller phone, thumbprint sensor, and edges to grip onto if i'm holding in my hands when i rotate it (as opposed to unwanted taps or gestures on the full screen displays).

      I thought that too until I got it and realized I missed the classic design. Love the Touch ID, for some reason the button makes it feel more premium to me. It’s also fun to click (I’m easily amused.)

    I already know why. You want an expensive phone with terrible features and an unacceptable battery
