iPhone 13 mini vs iPhone SE (2022) with Camera Test Comparison

[@dannywinget]

Is the iPhone 13 Mini worth $270 more than the iPhone SE 3 (2022)? If so Why?

[@MF_OXF]

yes it definitely is, better camera capabilities, better display, better design, the list goes on and on, deffo worth the extra £270

[@hereistand2008]

Definitely! I bought SE at Apple Store and returned it right away and got 13 mini instead

[@emiel333]

I’m impressed by the iPhone SE 2022! I have an iPhone 13 mini. But I can definitely recommend the SE to people who are looking for an affordable iPhone with an extremely powerful SoC (A15 Bionic). It could be possible that SE will get Night Mode through an update. Natively, it already supports Deep Fusion.

If you want to keep the phone for a longer period of time, I'd go with the 13 mini. Larger screen. OLED. Better battery. Face ID. 128GB starting storage. And better cameras. Also weighs less. And the 13 mini is only $599 now.

If the rumors are correct and the iPhone mini will be discontinued from the iPhone 14 onwards, there's a good chance that Apple will recycle the current mini into the future SE, which would be great for those who want small format phones. That is if Apple don't drop small iPhones altogether, which is a possibility.

[@MR12AMAZING]

No chance they do that imo. They're cancelling the mini due to poor sales so for that reason I doubt they'll use the mini design for the SE. I mean, the current iPhone 13 is considered a compact phone within itself in the current climate so I doubt they'll go much smaller in future phones .

I got both. But lately… use more the SE. Two reasons: I hate the stupid notch and I still prefer the fingerprint sensor.

You read my mind 😉

I have a 2020 SE model myself and I really don't think you are going to see much of a change. The only impactful thing I can see would be in future software updates. It's possible that the 2022 model will get a couple more iOS versions than the previous 2020 model. Perhaps someone will do a comparison.

This was an amazing video! I had gotten an SE a couple of years ago when I got married and we updated to a family plan- I've been very happy with it. The only reason I got a 13 mini was because my wife hated the phone she had gotten (One Plus). And, since there was a deal option, we both got new phones. Anyway, as a coach, I take a lot of videos during the day and have to zoom in so I'm looking forward to the greater clarity!

[@onetwentyfour]

With all the love Apple receives for their long software support, the fact that they refuse to back port newer features to older hardware when it's completely capable is a shame. There's no reason the older phones/hardware can't have night mode, Apple just doesn't want to.

Also, security wise, I prefer Touch ID and a number of programs I use need that two-factor security. 😎🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@mtnbiker49]

Seeing some of the battery life tests coming out, I'd go Mini all day. An extra 1.5hrs minimum with heavy usage is a LOT. IMO, that's a serious issue I've had since the 5s and doesn't seem to be getting much better.

Surprised the SE is doing so well. The biggest problem with the 8 design is the screen size. It’s okay but not competitive for that price. Poco f4 and Samsung a53 or even a33 is better but much bigger and heavier. My biggest difference with these 2 is probably dolby vision photos and videos. The mini can take and display those, makes a significant difference. Can feel the brightness of sparkles and highlights.

I have a SE 2020 and was debating between these two. I love my phone but improved camera and battery is a plus and as much I know the 13 Mini is a better phone for me I don’t think I can justify the difference in price.

[@MF_OXF]

then with that in mind just stick with the S2 2020 until the next one, if battery is an is issue, it would be better to just carry a powerbank

[@AryanSingh2512.]

For me OLED display and Ultrawide lens is enough difference to justify higher price. If these things doesn't matter to you then you shouldn't even be looking at flagships lol. And that 4.7 inch display is trust me too old. But unless you experience OLED you really don't know what you're missing out on. And difference between SE 2020 and SE 2022 doesn't seem much. Battery maybe be little bit better but nothing groundbreaking. Camera is also more or less same as it's the same hardware otherwise we would have gotten Night Mode.

[@kamallb4650]

Imo mini would be considerable upgrade. U have bigger n better screen. Better battery life. Better cameras. Plus I will personally compare it 128gb model of se2022 when it comes to pricing. Genuinely hate the se 2020 and 2022. Basically....wasted potential.

[@_observado]

If the SE was 350 then I'd go for that but for 479 that's a no, mini all the way, plus it has night mode

[@MaxDad7]

I'd just stick with your current model as long as it's trucking along OK. I don't see the SE 2022 being much of an upgrade over the 2020 model, and if price is an issue, then the Mini shouldn't be considered unless you really need that camera. The slight increase in battery size and the ultra-wide ratio screen is not worth the big bump in cost for budget conscious users that use their phone as a tool.

The typical users of the 13mini and SE are different. The 13mini is more for hardcore users, who like a compact design without compromising too much on features and specs. The SE is for the very conservative users, and these users are actually becoming to form a niche market. Of course, there are also many people who just want to purchase the cheapest iPhone, especially those who have never and haven't been using iPhone for years, so SE is the only choice.

I like having the option to use all of the features, best battery, etc; especially since I don't upgrade as often as most people do. I like to have something that will be reliable in the long term. With that said though, if I had the money, I could see myself getting a 'mini' or an 'SE' as a secondary device to use with WiFi only or maybe to gift it to someone that needs a new phone but doesn't necessarily use or need the high end specs & features.

​@@aktm1407OLEDs use very fast flickering (PWM) in order to control brightness, some people are sensitive to that and it gives them headaches. While many cheap LCD displays also do that, there are also many that don't (including the SE display), whereas the majority of OLED displays use PWM. A few Android devices have introduced DC dimming, but from what I understand there is some image quality compromise due to the science behind OLED where colors are not as accurate if you run each pixel at a lower voltage instead of pulsing it on and off at the correct voltage. It's usually a configurable option on those devices.
