    Still rocking my 512GB 13 Mini. I don’t want a newer phone be sure I don’t need a brick in my pocket. There’s nothing else like this form factor. Battery health is at 89% so I have at least 2 more years. I’ll consider other options until then. I’ll miss my 13 Mini so much when the inevitable time comes.
    I use my MacBook Air or iPad mini 6 when I’m at home. My phone stays in my backpack.

    I have a 16 Pro but I’ve always wanted the 13 mini. I have it in my amazon basket and I’m so tempted to purchase it for the exact reasons you’ve mentioned.

    I upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini (same footprint as my iPhone 7) in January this year. It really complements my iPad Mini - just upgraded from the 5th to the 7th Gen - and the Product Red colour I got is stunning. Would definitely recommend.
    Thanks for the content.

    I completely agree with you! I’m still holding onto my iPhone 13 mini as well, and I have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. It’s the perfect combination of compact size, great performance, and reliable battery life. Why change something that works so well?

    I've been considering a 16 Pro, but I have watched a whole lot of 13 Mini love stories like yours, and now I am thinking I will just get a new battery for mine, which is the one thing that bothers me the most, the second being the under-spec camera, but then, I have lots of real cameras for that.

  • @ernestbuckstarr
    @ernestbuckstarr 11 днів тому +1

    I’m the same. I get sucked in and I buy , compare and then return the pro. From my side-by-side comparisons, the the main camera on iPhone pros improve about 2.5% yearly. I never needed to wear a belt until I bought the 13 Pro. (luckily I do not need social media) if Apple makes another small phone, I will buy one. Maybe two. 👍🏻

      @@ClipsCaster007 It's like having a brand new 13 mini out of the box. It lasts a full day and I have zero battery anxiety. I went to UbreakIfix, they used an OEM battery. I'm not the type that plays games all day, however I'm almost always playing music, podcasts, or UA-cam talks in the background with AirPods. I can't compare to an iPhone 12, I went from a XS Max to a 13 mini

    I still have my purple 12 Mini with 100% Battery health. I also use my 15 Pro which is the next best thing to the mini as it’s really light. I switch between both. The mini is the cutest iPhone Apple has ever made. I also have the iPad Mini 6 and a perfect condition fully speced 12’ MacBook. I love my Mini set up. Your videos are enjoyable.

      Ever since it dropped below 80% I’ve had to charge it at least twice a day, and I never go out without an external battery. It’s definitely a downside of the form factor which is otherwise fantastic. It can be resolved with a battery replacement easily though, so not that big of a deal in the end.

    I do the exact same thing my brother I appreciate you being so awesome with this video as it was on the previous video about the 15 pro :-) which I also have but I am using my 13 mini at the moment for now going on two weeks in a row 😊 you’re right on every single aspect of it. It’s like it’s portable. It’s not obtrusive. It’s not heavy. It’s just right for everything that you really should use a phone for 😊 100,000% agree with you on the Apple upgrades every year it’s gotten stagnant ever since the 12 pro in my opinion minuscule updates one after the other settle improvements nothing drastic the only other great thing in my mind was as far as phones. Excuse me was the 11 Pro series. It was the other awesomeness besides the 13 series the 15 series is OK 16 series is just OK as well. Come on Apple come on Apple get your stuff straight 😊 staying with my 13 MINI well dancer.😊😊
