Where Apple WAS Innovating: iPhone 13 Mini Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- This year, Apple decided to stop producing the iPhone Mini line. After only 2 years, it's now widely regarded as a miss. But the iPhone Mini brought something to the table that no other phone on the market has: true one-handed portability.

I wish they made a pro-mini version
Yes! Same here!
Wide & Tele Lens combination is what I want.
@@ZIHUNEVI Same here. The ultra-wide is utterly useless
@@JTM1809 idk bro sometimes I can make breathtaking shots with the ultra wide
@@mightymobthesecondchannel5017 I meant for me. Ultra wide is good for landscapes and architecture.
Most of my pictures are of my family.
I agree. Sadly the Mini series is a niche device, which is why I think Apple could sell this phone in a refresh period of every 2 years. I’m sure everyone that’s enjoying a Mini at the moment would happily buy the new Mini every couple of years, myself included!
Comming from an iPhone SE 2016, I recently bought the iPhone 13 mini and I must say that this is the best iPhone currently for me. The newer and bigger iPhones just didn't fit my lifestyle. I love the compact size.
I love my 13 mini. For me this is the greatest iPhone ever made (so far). I hope that they release 16 or 17 mini in the future because the only downside with this phone is that it does not have USB-C. Otherwise this is a 10/10 phone for me. I got a blue one first and after they launched this green one I switched to this one.
I have been waited for the smaller phone since years then finally replaced my iPhone XS by 13 mini.
Its best phone i had ever, 5.4" is still big enough screen to write emails, posts on socials and watching YT videos or gaming. No more larger phone ever if possible.
It lays in pocket perfectly no matter you're in work or on sport activities like running or biking, and completely no issues with battery working time - one day of very active up to two days when i am not using phone a lot.
I would’ve gone with a Pro mini if they made it.
The battery life might be awful
It's nice to have choice. For me personally, I grew out of large phones. The mini slips into my jeans and disappears but it's there when I need it.
I bought an iPhone 14 Plus, coming from the 12 Mini and 13 Mini,,, after a few months with the 14 Plus I switched back to my much loved 13 Mini.
My 14 Plus is now just used as an at home camera.
I’m so disappointed that Apple didn’t make a 14 Mini or 14 Mini Pro !!!!!
I have 14Plus and 12mini I love both❤
I am android user, but I have also had an iPhone since the 5s, then the SE. Currently have S21FE and decided that my SE needed to be upgraded, so the 13 mini was only going to be my small iPhone just because. However, within a couple of hours it became my primary phone. Really is a great phone. It even got me to actually invest in the ecosystem, magsafe etc.
Nice!
It’s a fantastic phone and the fact you can spec them to have 512gb of storage is absolutely insane in something that size. It’s as much as a 16” MacBook Pro
I just think it's kind of funny that these companies don't acknowledge that there's a market for smaller screen phones. Yeah it may be less than that of larger screen devices, but it's still gotta be millions of people. Why not do user surveys to see how many units they should manufacture rather than simply making too many right out the gate.
When I held my iPhone 12 next to my 13 mini I was so happy and knew which device I’d wanna stick with for the years to come.
I use phone for basic tasks and it’s didn’t hurt hand at all.
I’m not too worried that it wasn’t continued, I’m here for the long haul and there will be no FOMO to want to upgrade for a minimalist anyways
Apple's iPhone pricing hasn't made sense since the iPhone 11 release year. That is their main problem with sales. Secondly... they needed to make the mini slightly thicker to accommodate a larger battery. That's really the only issue stopping it from getting better sales. Apple needs to get rid of the SE line, and just bring back the mini with a larger battery. Their product line got too convoluted for consumers, which is sad because the simplicity was what segmented iPhone from all the other phones.
Appreciate the straightforward video and objective assessment, reinforced my decision to order it yesterday. Looking forward to receiving my blue 13 mini! It’ll probably never happen but a mini pro model (especially with promotion and telephoto lens) in a future lineup would be ideal for me.
Thank you!
@@innoiso this is a great video man, I got the iPhone 13 mini in green for my birthday, and even though the battery life isn’t that great, I still love the phone.
Thank you!!
@@123theprodigy5 In my experience, I’ve found the battery to be better than expected so far, at least for my typical light to moderate use case. It’s easily lasting a day, often two when not watching videos, playing games, etc. Seems to be an improvement over my previous Pixel despite the mini having a smaller battery. Very happy with it, great phone.
Oh, that’s good then, I get at least five hours of on screen time which is not that bad.
Yeah I'm watching this 3 months after you made it. But good job on reviewing the iPhone 13 mini which I recently just got after I sold my regular iPhone 13. Before I got the regular iPhone 13 I had a iPhone SE and so I've always like kind of a smaller phone but I thought I'd try the regular one but it was just too heavy in the pocket and it was too big. So I got the 13 mini had it for about on about 2 weeks. It's a normal size phone. Everything else is like a mini tablet. That's just what we've moved to in the market and I understand... But for me I have an iPad at home so I don't need to carry one. And I really like just having a small phone in my pocket as I don't play with it all the time. Texting ,podcasts, music, Google maps The occasional UA-cam video during the day anyway. I have no problem with battery life but I can say that it's not the phone for heavy users
Had the iPhone 12 mini for a week. Couldn't take how small it was for basic gaming like Clash of Clans. Anything with small navigation or selection was just frustrating. I love the iPhone 13 PM and don't find its screen too large.
Yeah I'm not an iPhone guy but if I ever did get one it would probably be the mini just bc I like variety. Kind of tragic there might never be a mini with USBC. The only thing that kept me from buying the straight talk variant of the iPhone 12 mini when it was on sale for 299 it was that I couldn't stomach the idea of having to start buying lightning cables
Yes! If iphone mini has usb c, I think it would be no brainer!!! Well, we're getting USB c on iphones next year although not minis
Doesn’t matter when you have MagSafe charges
@@LordBagdanoff MagSafe charger sucks. It’s slow and runs hot. I finally caved and bought one 2 days again. Gonna return it this weekend
@@ottallman been using it never had overheating issue. It’s the best
@@LordBagdanoff never said it overheats but it does get pretty hot. Heat isn’t good for battery longevity. It sucks. My oneplus 10 pro never got this hot using its 65 watt fast charger. Mag charger is just a money grab.
I also have the Mini 13. Stunning but still boring. I also have the Fold4 and now also the S23 Ultra! The S23Ultra is SIMPLY STUNNING!!!!! Been iPhone user for years and years but the experience of the Ultra is unbeatable. The bezel less screen and the incredible speed of the whole device is totally pulling me away from Apple sadly.
What do you want a phone to do? It's a phone, that's what it does. I own the Mini, it's just a phone. I also had the SE 2020. The 13 Mini is a much better phone. But it's still just a phone. I think the Mini iPhones failed because of high price.
Same here, I got the iPhone 13 mini, and I love it, I’m coming from the iPhone 7 so it’s a huge upgrade for me. i’m not bothered by the bad battery life, my previous three iPhones had terrible battery life, so I’m used to it.
I don't know why it's called a phone. I use a smartphone more as 1) a clock/an alarm clock/timer, 2) as a messenger device (Whatsapp, usually, previously - before Whatsapp - it was SMS), 3) as a micro-computer - google search 4) as a navigation device - maps 5) as a note-taking/reminder device, 6) as a scheduler/planner/calendar. I see a lot more people are starting to use their phones to pay transit fares (train/metro fares, bus fares, this probably varies by city/region) and other expenses (shopping/groceries/meals). Or booking a ride (Uber/Grab/ Gojek/etc).
If I ACTUALLY get a call, there is a better than 90% chance that it is scam call. 10% that it's my mother. But yes, YMMV.
But yes, we still call it a "phone".
Such a great video! As you may remember I am a fan of small, under 6", phones and I still rock a 5.8" Samsung S10e. Apple had a 5.8" phone with the 11 pro and the current 6.1" is not much bigger, but man those pro are so heavy.... I don't watch videos on my phone (I always have a tablet or laptop in situations where I might want to watch something) and I don't do much other than calls, notifications and photos/videos on a phone, so I like compact and light phones (as I also use a case with them) and the 13 mini was the only modern iPhone I would have really enjoyed... But I am not moving to lightning, despite still using several airpods and an iPad mini 5. Unfortunately rumors for the SE are that it's going to be the XR design.... Anyway if I ever move to iPhone, it will be to something that has both a size/weight similar to the mini and USB C.
Google Pixel 4a was one of the best compact phones ever made!!! Idk why Google making their budget phone getting bigger and bigger...
iPhone 13 mini- it’s simply the best!
I agree with you... I LOVE my 13 mini. It's brilliant.
Glad we agree!
hows the battery?
@@potatus2927 much better than the 12 mini. I easily get a full day’s use out of the 13 mini unless I do a lot of gaming. Gaming seems to hit the battery harder than other apps.
Bro changed from a Samsung smartwatch to an apple one mid video and I can't unsee it
Hahah me during filming: "oh shoot I'm reviewing an iPhone, I shouldn't have a competitor smartwatch on"
Should have left that in the outtakes
@@innoiso ty for noticing, so I see u use both samsung and apple. I am thinking to change from a mid range samsung (a52 256gb) to a 13 mini. What are your thoughts about the change, I'm not a heavy user cause I use an ipad mini most of the day, but I do some gaming on my phone. Will there be an issue with the battery?
I just went from an iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone 14 pro and I’m convinced the 6.1 inch form factor is the best with the least amount of sacrifice, especially with dynamic island as I can use it with one hand.
Today I would totally would have picked a 13 mini, in December I upgraded from a 11 to the 14 pro and I love it but the way I use it has changed (at least for the moment), since the 5s (then 7, X-ray, 11 and a little bit of the 14 pro) I used to do everything in my cellphone, even uni projects, but since now I’m not going out a lot, I’ve been consuming social media almost only in my iPad, apart from message apps I just use ig in my iPhone.
I’ve notice a huge improvement, the 120 hz is really smooth but more so in the oled display. I like to take pictures of myself, the sky and just urban landscape in general, but I’m always alone so no one really take pictures of me, thus I don’t take pictures in general on a daily basis, I find the 3rd lense kinda useless for the majority of users, more like very very situational and I don’t think the quality is that great to really use it, the auto focus when you have really either really close or far, sometimes is kinda bad and stressful .
The weight is another factor, it’s heavy but in terms of material it’s noticeable that the quality is better in the metal used and the finish of the glass in the back. Color is something I find quite intriguing, I loved my 7 because it was black matte, but ever since then, they haven’t released anything like that, the 14 pro almost never looks really black, I think midnight does a better job in that part (my aunt has a 12 in that color).
Perhaps in a couple months when I’m back on track and have to go out and really depend of my cellphone my thoughts will change to the way they use to be. I think the perfect size (for me) would have been the one of the x and xs. I’ll still like to have a 13 mini in the future as a 2nd device (tbh a total whim in my opinion).
I think a refurbished one will be good choice since it wouldn’t be as expensive (a mere thing to justify the acquisition), I’ve seen that the 12 mini is around 300 dollars sometimes in Amazon, do you think that when the 15’s come out, the 13 mini would be around that price?
pretty much the perfect size phone for me. im not much a mobile yt person, but if i need to watch yt on my phone, it's passable
Great video!
i downgraded from iphone 13 pro max to Iphone 13. I did not notice much difference while using the base Iphone 13 and the good thing is that I can use the 13 with just one hand without hurting my wrist
take it as a complement
after passing of the great actor Robbie Coltrane.
you should try for the role of --> Hagrid , the keeper of keys and grounds of Hogwarts.
I'll happily take this as a complement!
I have the 13 mini better battery it is great
Nice!
With 15 pro with 120 hz mannn
At this time i am using a Pixel 6a and planning to buy one more compact phone i.e 13mini
Say hi to iPhone SE 2024
It's an A15 Bionic chip sir
I don't really want foldables.
Good thing all manufacturers are still selling non foldable!
I like your clean standard American accent. Where about do you come from?
15 pro mini *
Very microscopic!!!! Exaggerate much!
Right? I have the mini and definitely wouldn’t mind if it was a bit smaller
