    I almost bought the SE released in 2020, because I wanted the smaller size and the nice price. And then I came *really* close to buying the 12 Mini, but decided to wait a year and hope the next mini would have TouchID. The 13 Mini doesn't have TouchID, but I did buy one and I'm *very* happy I waited that extra year!

    The mini never sucked. As good as some of you tech reviewers are, why do none of you ever seem to get it?!
    The mini is for people that still use their phones, AS A PHONE! They don’t use it as a gaming device or as their main camera. They dont care about a larger display or a 120 refresh rate. They use it to make phone calls, send some messages and email and listen to some music here and there. So the 12 mini was fine. And now the 13 mini is even more fine.

    I got a 13 mini, upgrading from a XR and I‘m loving it! And there are a ton of people who really appreciate the smaller form factor and fell in love with the 13 mini! The mini already has a big fan base and rightfully so!
    Those big Pro Max phones are just heavy, you need an extra bag to schlepp them around…! 🙈 Nah, will never touch such a paddle!
    Maybe I will also get the iPad mini 6 to add to the mix and for media consumption at home and managing my smart home. That should be the ideal solution! 😌

    This review is excellent. I want to add I also tested the 13 Pro line against the 13 Mini. I came away with the opinion the 13 Mini is a game changer in its form factor and power delivery. After testing the 13 Pro and Pro Max for a week, they both felt like obese underachievers compared to the 13 mini. Honestly the 13 mini feels so much more impressive as a flagship in its performance and size. It’s a game changer. Streaming a movie like Pandora on Disney+ was very immersive but the loud clear sound of the stereo speakers is incredible for a phone twice it’s size. My battery life test only yielded the 13 Pro 5% more over the 13 Mini at the end of the day still leaving plenty of power left. (40% vs 35%) at the end of a full day of use. 13 Mini 512gb in starlight/white for the win for me. There is not a phone on the market that is this small and portable yet a monster in power and performance. The 13 Mini is the “rock star” of the this years line up.

    The iPhone 13 mini fixed many of the problems that plagued the iPhone 12 mini, especially the shorter battery life. In fact, I think the new iPhone SE model will essentially be the iPhone 13 mini but with a larger power button for Touch ID on the button and a small "punch hole" for the front-facing camera.

      The se for the last 2 generations has been the previous generations smaller chassis and general design and updated chip with not as good battery life as the flagship. If they change their direction and use an XR it will not be smaller than the 13 regular. Chances are it will be the mini based on past decisions. But the se mini will prob only happen when the new form factor is introduced (iPhone fold) like the two previous se generations did.

    I think it’s because of the smaller chassis so that the speaker feels weaker in the mini. 13 has larger chassis so there is more room for the sound to vibrate through the phone making it louder.

    Before I got the 2020 SE, I was considering the 12 mini, 11 and the SE. I ended up getting the se because of the price and internals and I was transferring from the old se but 6 months later, I really want to just change my phone to a 13 mini because of the size, battery and just because it is an overall better phone and has amazing value for money. I plan to save a bit and buy it within the next 6 months or at least when the prices drop after the 14 releases.

    it sure is hard to find speaker comparison, thanks for the effort put in, i wanted to know for sure the speaker difference between 13 mini and 13 normal but its not that big just abit deeper, quarity is about the same, about the 5g antena thanks for testing it it means alot knowing its reliable, same for the charging speed with wire, im swaping the SE i brought last year to the 13 mini because i found it unreliable during outside job where its extremly bright im sweating alot and can't see in display or open the phone to answer calls having to run to shadow each time and wiping my phone 3 times a day just to acess it during break sucks, battery of SE was not an issue with me it was just depleting at an abornamal rate if i leave it overnight not charging i lose 30% or more overnight, and i started charging it each night i need to use it the next day, unless i game on it it lasts me a full day, gaming eats battery from 100% to 30% and under within 2hrs and half i learned many things by using it but i think its time to swap, old components are starting to feel its 5 yr old age i had few crashes during apps and games having just new processor won't solve the issue.

    The se for the last 2 generations has been the previous generations smaller chassis and general design and updated chip with not as good battery life as the flagship. If they change their direction and use an XR it will not be smaller than the 13 regular. Chances are it will be the mini based on past decisions. But the se mini will prob only happen when the new form factor is introduced (iPhone fold) like the two previous se generations did.

  • @jpdemer5

    Agree completely - the 13 Mini is by far the best all-around value. I upgraded from an 8, and love the improved camera and battery life. The default storage of 128GB is also a huge upgrade. (Went for the new dark green, which is a color I won't mind looking at for the next 5-6 years.)

I thought about returning it for the 12 mini because it’s slightly thinner and lighter than the 13 mini. However, this video has helped convince me to keep the 13 mini. I’m in the minority that likes small phones. The iPhone 5/SE form factor was and still is the best phone size for one handed use.

That means the battery pack still has a use… but fortunately a bit less need for it. Overall, since you cannot find good enough Android offers in the “mini” category (the ones that exist have such dismal battery that they are not even worth looking at) you are seeing here a great move from Apple- I am all in for it.
