- GREEN IPHONE 13 MINI // WHY I'M GOING BACK TO THE MINI!
The iPhone 13 mini was my favourite iphone in the last few years. It was small, powerful, and felt perfect in your hands. I love the green colour as well. However, I switched to the iPhone 14 Pro and decided that it would be the phone for me.
But after using the iPhone 14 pro for 6 months, I realized that the green iPhone 13 mini has a lot going for it. The iPhone 14 is not that much of a tech bump over the previous gen iPhones. If I kept the 13 mini, I would not have missed any major features by skipping the 14 pro.
Should you buy the 13 mini in 2023? Will there be a new iPhone 15 mini for 2023? Theres a lot of questions, but in this video, I'll talk about why I decided to keep the iphone 13 mini and sell the iphone 14 pro.

I am back! Who else still uses a mini? Was this a mistake. Let me know down below ⬇️
I love the 13 mini
I'm Bout too.
Just bought 2 weeks ago 512 variants. Will say its gonna stay till 2029 with me now
Love the Mini ❤
Just got mine yesterday, probably the best phone ever
I went from a Pro series iPhone to the 13 mini. For me, it's perfect. Texts and calls, light social media, alarm clock in the morning. Battery is almost a non-issue and the size is ideal. One-handed use is a breeze, too. Wish more phones -- Apple included-- would come in compact or mini sizes.
As a 13 Mini user, I know how it feels. The size and weight is just perfect so any phone that's bigger and heavier just feels awkward and not worth it since it's not leaps and bounds ahead of the mini. So even when you get a bigger phone, once the honeymoon phase is over, you just yearn for the comfort and portability of the mini which is unparalalled. Wish Apple keeps the 13 mini in the lineup after the 15 launch, though it seems unlikely since they axed the 12 Mini after launching the 14 series.
Yeah I genuinely hope they bring it back OR put it’s form factor in the se lineup. I’d upgrade to that in a heartbeat. And I could not have said it better myself. The honeymoon phase hasn’t worn off with the mini for me.
Fingers crossed it makes a comeback !!
@@IdrisB the iPhone 14 Pro is kind of boring, smart phones especially the iPhone have stagnated, despite being just a smaller 13, the iPhone 13 mini was really unique to me. it’s really impressive that Apple was able to cram almost all the internals of the regular iPhone 13 into a much smaller shell.
Honeymoon phase💀💀💀
@@IdrisB hope they bring a 15 mini with or without 120Hz
I have both a 13 mini and S23 ultra. I use both phones every single day. The mini is perfect for quick use, it’s quick out my pocket and respond to messages or inquiries. My S23 ultra is perfect for media consumption or when I need to spend more time on the phone. It’s a perfect balance that I simply can’t explain
Sell the ultra and buy an ipad mini for media consumption, and give me the difference as a tip :D
I have an iphone 13 mini and a pixel 7pro 😂 kinda sad that we have to have an iphone 😅
Been thinking about the same set up for a while. I have the mini and absolutely love it. it’s just big enough sometimes
@@CaseH5280 a second big phone will extend your battery life by like 2 days
Same here. But mines a base s23 and 13 mini. The mini is my take out phone most of the time. That form factor is perfection. It is what a phone should be. It shouldn't even be called a mini. It's a standard phone.
TBO. I bought the s23 first and now I don't use it much at all. I should sell it but it's nice to be able to have both android and ios.
I’ve had my 13 mini for just over a month now. I absolutely love it! Came from a 12 pro max. Always preferred compact phones. This thing is a pocket rocket! Best iPhone ever!
I did the same move a month ago, I sold my 14 pro and took a brand new pink 13 mini. The weight difference is huge, I have zero regrets. I miss the always on display but other than that, I am pretty happy with my decision.
13 mini user here! Didn't have any problem with battery whatsoever. I opted to choose this over the 13 and I don't regret it at all! Midnight color looks amazing as a blue fanboy hahaha
Three months ago, I upgraded from an iPhone SE 2020 to an iPhone 13 mini. I do not regret it. Large phones are a turn off for me. I prefer smaller form factors and the 13 mini fits the bill. It's powerful, super-portable, I can use it with one hand, and the camera is solid (I'm also not an avid photographer, but the photos I have taken look wonderful). So, no you're not alone. There's a significant number of us who don't wan't to use a phone almost the size of a tablet.
Grabbed a mini last week. Rep kept trying to convince me toward the 14 pro or to wait for the 15, but I wanted to take the minimalistic approach as well. 15 doesn’t have a mini in lineup, so no reason to wait. No regrets so far, love the size.
Mine arrives today!
I have the purple 12 Mini in mint condition - it is still my fav iPhone ever by far👍
I bought 13 Mini only for its size. Only regret is the battery dropped to 85% in 10 months. Its also very lightweight.
I moved 13 mini recently, it’s great phone. Battery life is great and easy to hold and less weight. Great phone
I love my 13 mini and switched to it after many reviews and other techs making the switch. It is a wonderful device!
I just got it a few days ago. It’s a good pair with my iPhone 13 Pro and now I’m fully in the apple eco system, for now
If Google makes good looking phones again I could go back. I’m gonna keep my Pixel 4a for international trips and etc til the updates stop
I have the 13 and the 13 mini from the time they were released, I was a pro max fanatic, I’m also a pink person so when they came out with the pro maxes I didn’t like the colors. So I ordered the two pink cuties and I never looked back. Don’t miss the pro maxes at all. I have the best of three worlds, love the pink color, love the size of the mini when I want to go small, and when I want to go bigger I have the 13. Best choice I ever made and of course they’re both 512’s, go big or go home. LOL.
All your reasons make sense. I’m rocking a iPhone 13 mini. It’s a great value iPhone with a amazing soc. It’s makes great family pictures and it’s form factor is just right. The only thing is I need to charge with my MagSafe battery pack after diner, but a few minutes is enough to take me through the evening. I will take the mini over a chunking iPhone any day!
I love the 13 mini ! I have the S23 ultra as my main phone and the iPhone 13 mini as a second.
I’ve been a 12 Mini user for 2 years. The size and operation is great, but battery life is degrading significantly now. My intention is to upgrade to a 15 Pro next year, for the larger screen and improved battery life.
I used 14 pro for 6 months and now i am back to my mini. other than battery anxiety, i feel i enjoy using 13 mini much more than 14 pro
I am watching this on an iPhone 13 Mini. I completely agree with everything you said!
I used to have the 13 pro max but i sold it and replaced it with the regular 13 due to the weight. And now i'm contemplating on selling my 13 for the 13 mini.
I switched from 14 pro max downsized to mini 13 , I m in love with! I feel life so much better ! I hate heavy phone
Still rocking my 12 mini from nearly 3 years ago. The battery health has taken a hit and the battery life isn’t incredible, which isn’t a problem because I work from home. All things considered, the phone is still great!
I'm giving my iPhone 15 Pro Max to a family member and just ordered a green iPhone 13 Mini a few days ago.
Apple HAS to have a Mini phone every 4 years or so...
I love the mini! I’m using it till it dies or breaks
I bought the 13 mini cause as wou said: (All in all a great device that) helps me use my phone less and enjoy life more"
I hope one day Apple releases a Pro Mini version when battery technology allows a mini phone to last the same as today's 14 Pro
I really missed my 13 mini. But i turn to 14pro because of the telephoto camera. Imagine of Apple do the new mini with 3 camera, it is perfect!🎉
I had the 12 mini then the 14 pro then I swapped to the pro max and now I’m back to the 13 mini and I love it and have no regrets the battery is perfect for me!!
Can I buy this phone with its size and battery for videography/vlog
You may find yourself missing the chance to capture a moment because the battery is too low or the phone died. If you plan to keep a battery pack around though, perhaps you can get away with it. However, it seems like you’ll be out and about if you’re vlogging and this might not be the best option.
I got my iphone 13 mini 5 days ago and in loving it. It really feels like a phone since phones are supposed to be tiny and easy to carry anywhere. I have small hands, so having a big phone was really a pain for me.
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 have a 13 Mini and a 14 Plus,,,, the 13 Mini is the best phone Apple ever made and is my daily driver.
My 14 Plus just gets used as a camera at home.
Shame on Apple for discontinuing the Mini !!!!!!!
I would have loved a 14 and 15 and 16 Mini !!!!!!
I have the se2 it’s a mini phone and I feel like I fit in with the mini community I love how small it is, and cheap I am not one that needs all the bells and whistles as long as that software is in date no upgrades for me 😂
Tbh I bought a mini after having a 13 pro
And the only downside was battery life
Screen felt normal size after 2 days of usage, light in the hands, but at the job I’m at, I’m allowed to play music and listen with an airpod and occasionally watch/ listen to UA-cam and I found the battery to only last me like 4 hours before needing to recharge
Then again I’m sure most Jobs don’t allow you to be on your phone as much as I am. So it would probably be enough for the normal person who is not on the phone at work all day
Just ordered 13 mini, going from 14 plus to 13 mini. No more brick in my pocket !
I have the 13 mini now as well. I sold my 13 pro and went with the mini. I loved the 12 mini and the 13 mini is a great upgrade to it.
just switched to the 13 mini for some of the very reasons you did. I love it less is more! Apple should realize phone sizes are getting too big!
12 mini to 13 pro to 13 mini back to 13 pro. I love the mini so much. Unfortunately the battery doesn’t make it a whole day for me. As much as I tried all the tricks and shutting things off to conserve battery. I don’t like to keep my phone on the charger or on a battery pack. I’d rather have a phone I can just use for what it is. As much as I want to be in the mini gang (where my heart lies) the 13 pro works better for me. Truly only the battery and maybe the 120hz pulled me away. I’m with y’all hoping they bring it back better and stronger than ever!
I bought mini today! green one 256gb. its perfect in my hand
I always finish the day on around 40% battery with my 14 mini. I have no effing idea what people that complain about the battery life are doing on their phones 🤔
Maybe because you have an advance release of the 14 mini? 😂 im just pulling your leg. That’s pretty impressive. When I work from home under wifi I I finish with like 30 percent by 5pm. Casual use tbh. So it’s awesome you get that amount.
I resonate with this! Literally every reason why I switched back to the 13 mini.
I got a 13 is it worth going to da mini
My all day carry is 13 mini and at home for intensive use have S22 ultra… perfect combo for anyone
I am going to downgrade to mini from 14 pro because of arthritis. Within a month of use my left hand knuckles felt sore. I hope they bring back mini series
I just switched to the iphone 13 mini from the iphone XR, which is an upgrade for me coming from the XR. But I actually planned to buy the 14 pro and changed my decision at the shop when I picked the 13 mini in hand. It's just so comfortable. I actually dont know the reasons why I like the 13 mini, has to be the size really. Hope Apple sees that a lot of people do like the mini and bring it back. Awesum video BTW :)
Still with my 13 mini and i wish there will be another mini iphone in the future
My favorite iphone was the SE from 2016 with 4 inch screen.
That was my first smart phone and lasted me 5 years. I loved it, until the battery life deteriorated so badly it was continually affecting performance. Natural upgrade was the 12 Mini, but after 2 years that’s beginning to degrade. Due to high usage I think my next step will be the 15 Pro.
The se first generation is easy to change battery
just got my mini 13 yesterday :) great so far
As someone who has the option to use both in sticking with the 14 Pro. The camera is basically the only reason. The camera systems are night and day. Even so I miss the smaller form factor so much
I'm still using iPhonex and it feels good in the hand compare to larger phones 👌🏻
I have an ipad mini and a macbook and now going back to mini phone. These items fit well for me.
I agree 100% with you I love mine .And have the 14 plus for other reasons but my edc is the mini
I just love the mini. I use s22 ultra as main phone and still got the iphone 13 mini to pair with all my other apple devices specially for my homepod, apple pay and magsafe wallets.
I have iphone 13mini and i love it somuch hope apple makes a mini again
I still have my iphone 14 pro and went bought an 13 mini, again. I'm a fan of smaller phones !
I have the 14 pro now and I’m switching back to the mini no discussion
okay..heres my story: bought the 13 pro max, switched to 12 mini, sold the mini and kept the 13 pm, later sold the 13 pm and got the 13 mini, sold the 13 mini and got the 13 pro, sold the 13 pro and got the s22 ultra, sold the s22 ultra and bought the 14 pm, sold the 14 pm and got the 13 mini, sold the 13 mini and once again bought the 14 pm, sold the 14 pm and now I have had the 13 mini for 2 month and don't regret it.. well, sometimes I miss the pro max but its sick to switch so often so decided too stick with my mini now😅😆
Wow! That’s incredible lmao. I thought I did a lot of switching. What was the main reason you decided to switch each time ? Why do you think you’re settled on the mini? Just curious.
@@IdrisB good question.. maybe of boredom or something, hard to tell.. but i really like the 13 mini, its so good in the hand and so light, fits in my pocket really well, nice especially in the summer when i move around a lot, its feel like a keeper, im gonna stick with this now, and i use my mac pro at home and bought a magsafe battery yesterday, and it fits the mini perfectly.. so now i dont have to care about batterylife no more either👍
Man, that is crazy, you must be loaded.
@@ballooneyjr4294 thats what i told myself and keeping my 13 mini🕺
I thought my story was crazy but yours is way worst lmao. I bought the 13 Pro (coming from a 11 Pro Max which I hated because of the size), then I switched to the 14 Pro, then switched to the 14 Pro Max (I regretted in two days) and now I switched yesterday to a green iPhone 13 mini and I love that thing (I always loved the regular 13's green color, not the Alpine for the Pros). I'm planning on getting the 15 Pro later this year and keep the 13 mini as my spare phone for years to come.
13 Mini is the best phone I’ve ever owned, and trust me I’ve had loads!
Great choice. I wish they will make a iphone 15 mini.
12 pro max to 12 mini to 14 pro max to 13 mini … so yeah mini gang!!!
Ayy!!! What made you switch ? Similar reasons to me ?
I’m a proud owner of the green 13 mini, I want to keep this phone for years to come.
@@IdrisB Man, tbh I just love everything about it, the form factor, the feel of it overall, and it’s so awesome to be able to have premium features in a phone that I can use one-handed! I get clowned on cause I’m also a centimeter shy of being 6 feet tall like you bro, but I’m happy with this premium device! 💯
I have the IPhone14 Pro Max and I love it so much!, but I bought myself an IPhone12mini and I’m in love it!, I wanted to get an IPhone13mini so badly!
I just bought a 13 mini today it is soo good
I been debating on gettin a iPhone mini how is it ?
@@LamarGibson-g2t I’ve had it for a long time it’s really good the battery lasts me two days and the perfect size
Been considering trading in my 13 pro for a 13 mini. Obviously I'm still wrestling with the idea since I came here to watch your video haha.
I'm a Android user and fan but I bought an Alpine Green iPhone 13 mini because of its size and I want to use my phone less - iOS restrictions make it possible.
I hope Apple will release an iPhone Mini with USB type C, And Hopefully a new iPhone SE with a full screen 5'8 inch display, like previous models iPhone X/Xs/11 Pro.
Its the smallest new iPhone I could get at the time. I needed a new phone just before the newest SE was available. I would have got the SE but I’m kinda glad I ended up with 13 mini. Very similar size body with bigger display. It’s still rather big for my tiny hands.
The 13 Mini is my favorite phone. I will keep it until it is no longer supported by Apple.
I use a 13 mini as my daily driver and prefer it over any of the larger phones.
With all of the consumers that have enjoyed the mini, and even SE, I really hope continues to make these phones. I’m really annoyed that phones are starting at $1,000 and only going up. I refuse to spend anything close to that on a phone. If they don’t make any cheaper options going forward I’ll just buy used instead.
Seeing a shift into the mini. Have a feeling they're going to make a mini in the form of the SE in either 2024 or 2025 & run with it.
I want to get just mini pro
Bro, i just did the same thing couple days ago. Daughter broke her 12 and instead of getting her a new phone, im giving her my 14 pro and purchased a 13 mini green. Last mini i had was the 12 and only went to 14 pro for dynamic island and battery but device is to big for me. I need the small compact device. Hope i made the correct decision
I love my 13 mini starlight 😊
im using a mini love it
Great video! Is all them wallpapers you shown in the wallpaper pack?
I went from the Samsung S23 Ultra down to the iPhone 13 Mini
I have I-Phone 12 Mini, absolutely just love everything about it👍👍. ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦
I have a 13 mini and it does feel awesome in my hand but as far as being able to watch videos on I do think it’s a little too small when it comes to that so for that reason I’m looking to switch to something bigger.
I even own a Unihertz Jelly 2 with 3 inch for my second line. I'm not a fan of android, but I do like small phones.
I have an iPhone SE3. I hope to get an iPhone 13 mini soon or in the future. I don’t like big phones because they’re hard and heavy to hold. And besides I don’t need a big phone to see the screen because I’m a voiceover user. My first phone was an iPhone 7+. That phone was heavy to use. I rather have a small phone than a big phone. That just my opinion
I use my 12 mini. I don’t really know what was better with the 13 so I just kept my 12. Still love it. I do t want a bigger phone. I also wish they would take away some of the updates like the different screens etc. I just don’t like that stuff. Oh well.
Can’t decide between a starlight 256 gb 13 mini for like 400$ or a blue 14 plus 256 gb for 580$
I really want an iPhone 13 mini 512 gig but don’t want to spend that much on it I love my 14 pro and coming from max phones I do not like big phones plus I got small hands.
I love my 13 mini ❤
13 mini is stopped production?
wow im in mini 13 bro for ever
I couldn't use the mini due to pwm😢
I have 12 mini for 2 years and battery life has become a huge problem. I'm considering changing it to 13 mini but i really worry about the battery life. My 12 mini accumulator dropped to 86%. And now I need to charge it twice a day (I use SNS, scroll Instagram but no games or UA-cam). I wonder will the story repeat with 13 mini? Will it's battery drop the same way?I need light and small device since I have some problems with wrists. What would you recommend -13 mini or 13 base model?
dont need a huge phone way more addicting
Switched to iPad mini from 12.9 Pro but kept iPhone 13 Pro
How are people not getting a full day battery life on the iPhone 14 Pro?? What are ya doing? Just watching UA-cam all day?
lol I watch youtube all day but on my MacBook or Tv. On my phone, just the basics. With my regular 15, I finish with around 50% most days of the week. But Apple had a battery problem with the 14 Pro degrading earlier than other phones. In the 15 and beyond, they made an option in battery settings to only charge the device to 80%. The battery is just not lasting as long as they used to.
The best ever
That Green is Clean, been thinking between blue, starlight, red or green. I currently have a red XR so I was thinking if I should do the same color or not
Honestly, I like the red. It was a toss up for me at one point and I originally bought the red. It just looks so good. But the green won out. I think the 13 colors r way better than the 14.
Try something diff and go green !
Thanks 🙏🏾, I also hope you get more recognition, your thumbnails and editing are spectacular I’m surprised ur not recognized, keep grinding and you’ll hit 100K 💯
Ah thank you brother. That’s the plan for sure. Respect! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Do you think the 13 mini is a good upgrade from my current XR my XR gets around 2 hours and 40 minutes on a full charge and so far I’m on my 4th charge and at 69% and I have 6 hours and 30 minutes of screen time (82% Battery health)
Just go for it man, although if you change your battery XR will hold up 2 more years easily
Try samsung galaxy 23/plus/ultra
iPad mini 7 release date video please
Bring back the mini series apple
Just a reminder that the iPhone mini weighs just as much as the iPhone 4 with a 55% larger display
Good video but some of the wallpapers shown wasnt in the pack that i bought, the best 1s aswel👎🏻
Hey David! I 100% appreciate your support. However, the wallpaper pack was released a while ago (Fall of last year). Of course, I've used newer wallpapers on my iPhone since then. So in this video and older videos, you will see me use other wallpapers.I keep the link in the description for anyone that wants to purchase the pack but I don't necessarily state that the wallpapers in the video are going to be in that pack.
I am working on another one and will def include some other designs. Thanks for the support !
