I think the biggest advantage of the 13 mini to the 12 mini is the processor efficiency that is why it has a lot better battery life. The other aspects are just marginally better. I think even compared to the 14, the 13 has still better processor efficiency.

Living by the values of buying cheap phones and not to be dictated by phones. 👏 👏 👏

[@steveb1972]

I remember my iPhone 6 Plus fell out my car widow, was run over by 2 cars and an 18 wheel truck. Only had a few blown pixels! Lol

[@cutiepie120048]

My goodness 😂

[@Thtuy]

That’s a whole ass movie 😂😭

[@alcidesfy]

You already know it's perfectly fine. Some people still rock the X/XS/Xr/11.

[@CesarAugusto-n9r]

i just sold mine, the iphone 13 mini and the iphone 5 are the only ones that i miss and feel nostalgic for

[@PopRox]

I have the regular 13, upgraded from a 11 Pro Max and I can definitely say 100% worth it. IMO the 13s are the last good iPhone series. All it would need is USB-C.

[@AzureRT456]

And at least 90hz (120hz is nice but imo can be overrated)

[@PopRox]

@@AzureRT456 I mean I have an iPad Pro and a monitor that are 120hz and don’t get me wrong it’s nice, but the rest of my tech is 60hz. I notice the difference but it’s not as other people make it out to be. But yeah I think it’s crazy that up to the 16s the regular versions don’t have at least 90hz.

[@ethansi08]

Did you just upgrade? I’m thinking of upgrading from XR to 13pro right now

[@PopRox]

@@ethansi08 Yeah I upgraded I’d say about late June. Was definitely worth it since my last phone was broken and was just tired of the size. However, I will say if size wasn’t a problem and the back glass wasn’t all messed up, I would’ve just gotten the battery replaced and called it a day. Phone was amazing for me but fixing it would’ve costed me the same as getting a new phone. So I’d say upgrade but buy used 10/10.

[@ethansi08]

@@PopRox my only concern is the 13 series is like 3 years old now and I don’t usually upgrade regularly maybe I keep my phone for 4 years at a time I’ve had this XR for nearly 5 😂

[@JordanLanuza]

I keep coming back to my 13 mini even tho i have the s22 ultra which still rocks btw. Its just the form factor is so amazing. It’s hard to let go if you just need to go out and have a small phone instead if a huge slab that doesnt fit in most small bags.

[@CarlosLopez-dj8rv]

13 mini user Have a samsung note 20 ultra Also keep going back to the 13 mini

[@CarlosLopez-dj8rv]

One question hows your battery health I dont really check it but i checked it 20 days ago and it was at 94% and as of now 20 days later its at 88%

[@JordanLanuza]

@@CarlosLopez-dj8rv hey there. Mine is now at 85%. But mine is a 2 year phone now. A bit more or almost 3 years already.

[@chriscasillas]

I upgraded from the 12 mini to the 15. Perfectly happy that I did. Plenty of upgrades when I jumped that many generations. But that's pretty cool that the 12 mini is still working so well for you!

[@Abdssmd_15]

What kinds of upgrades you think are worth upgrading?

[@Hektormydog]

As the saying goes ‘it’s in the details,’ and the improvements with the 13 mini: brighter screen, camera software (cinematic and photographic styles) and updated larger pixel size wide camera, newer processor (another iOS update or 2?), [just] enough battery for a day’s use, smaller notch (on a small display I’ll take any more space I can). I bought the 13 mini coming from the almost same size old SE when they came out, so been using it a few years now and don’t have any complaints. Very easy to use with one hand or in the pocket, it’s a phone first, but can do the other things a smart phone does (within the display size limitations), and a very compact camera that does the job.

[@matthewjones5951]

My favorite part of this is just REAL it is. “ThE bAttErY LifE isN’t gOoD eNoUgh” - “then get off your phone and get a life lmao” I’m rocking a 2020 se and yes, it gets slow sometimes, but that’s fine I can wait a bit for KZbin to open. Yes, the battery life isn’t great, but I can just plug it in

[@ayingolpos9350]

Using 13 mini for almost 3yrs now and im loving it so much most especially that i am not fan of big phones

[@IamDanish99]

Watching this on my iPhone 13 mini !

[@Kevito]

Same :( I need to replace the battery 🪫 I really hope they bring them back with AI and 120 hz screen and always on 🤩

[@attyjosh]

Didn't give up my 13 mini as a secondary back up (just in case). 3 years after and still at 95% battery health. Yep, not a battery champ but has always come in handy.

[@marksouthwell4490]

I have the 13, battery health is still 100% ( original battery,) I'm an Android user too and I've noticed that iOS users are quite focused on battery health, moreso than android users . I think the iPhone 13 and 13 mini are great 👍

[@AmanSingh-si4hc]

Just upgraded from a 12 mini to a 13 mini , can’t wait

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

I missed out on getting the 13 mini in product red. Got a 13 and very happy with it..I get two days of battery life.

[@apexpixel8708]

Good job bro keep it up👍

[@derekbrand7769]

Did anybody else ever have the issue with their 13 mini that you couldn’t delete apps? Mine was somehow locked that I couldn’t delete apps, I could just delete them from my Home Screen. So they would still be on my phone and had to wait for Apple to offload the app after however long oh non-use.

[@callthegamecoachremotely]

love your channel. 100% agree with what you're saying at the end. I just replaced the battery in my iPhone SE 2020 (done by Apple). Now running ios18, the phone feels almost brand new. Not sure if I even want to upgrade to an OLED device after I read about severe eye strain issues.

[@denblaakop]

Great video, think I will upgrade to one of these, was considering the 15 or 16, but this seems allot nicer xD

[@asinglefrenchfry]

I've had my 13 mini for over a year now and I LOVE IT. It's exactly what I've wanted from an iPhone for a long time, a compact flagship. My only complaints are entirely software related: 1. In order to preserve battery health, I wish there was an option to manually enable slow charging past 80% instead of relying on the "Optimized Battery Charging" feature to detect your charge schedule. (I don't have a consistent charge schedule so it rarely turns on automatically.) 2. I don't like the post-processing on photos taken with the camera. It tries really hard to reduce noise, but it just looks like an over-sharpened oil painting, much worse than how they looked on the viewfinder. I'd rather just have the natural raw photo. But, all modern iPhones do this. It's not specific to the 13 mini. And as with a lot of issues on Apple products, a simple option to disable it would suffice. Apple certainly doesn't like giving options lol...

[@glenbowen197]

Fantastic video. After many trials I use a 14 Pro when am outdoors, and at home put it away and work with the SE2. This creates sufficient friction and makes sense personally for me. Always loved the 13 mini. Just hoping for a new SE version from apple. Love the week use videos Techno ! Keep up the great videos. !

[@NJ-qx3vb]

I still use an iPhone 6 in 2024. However, becuase I want to stay with the small form factor I’m thinking to buy the iPhone 13 mini. I’m also going to buy it off Apple Refurbished since they replace the shell and battery. This is a perfect deal for me and I’ll have a small phone that I can keep for the next few years.

[@kenji4330]

Awesome video! Hopefully there will be some phone company that will realise in the next few years how cool small phones are

[@iLucidMC]

I love the smaller form factor of the iPhone 12 mini/13 mini, I actually do think its a shame that apple discontinued it.

[@RobloxianX]

Seems like a good device in 2024. Personally, I went from an iPod Nano 7, to an iPod Touch 6th Gen, then to a 7th Gen, and finally to an iPhone SE 3. So, I'm used to small screens. Honestly, if the iPhone SE 4 gets the 13 Mini chassis I am 100% upgrading to that.

[@chaletqcm3451]

Great video and awesome energy

[@alexandrumacovei7174]

A spectacular phone, with a 60 hz, lcd, no battery life, no zoom lens, which is more practical than the ultra wide camera. If the battery will last as much as a pro max and had at least 90hz, oled, yeah

[@marksouthwell4490]

13 mini has a Super Retina XDR OLED display, not LCD😊

[@Kowafatcompany]

Dude I`m walking with XS and I dont see any problem with it at all plus I dont see any reason for upgrade either ;D

[@uncleshim]

Love my mini13.. battery needs charging about mid afternoon.. especially when using Waze, or Apple Maps. I also have a Google 4a 5g phone.. Love the smaller phones.. why have a tablet sized phone up to your ear? My family hates my phone too.. always say it’s too small. Get a 15 or 16 pro.. nah.. was thinking about a Google 9 pro and keeping the mini 13 just for the cool camera features .. waiting for a good deal…😊

[@MacOsx1011]

ive always loved smaller phones the 13 mini is my fav i always wanted to own one even tho i have a 15 pro now for almost a year some part of me wishes i had a phone of the 13 mini size or the 13 mini itself, but i feel like itll be a huge downgrade now if i decide to get one isnt it. also looks like the 15 pro might be the last of the compact-ish phones for a while now as the 16 series got bigger too🤮might as well hold off now untill they make another smaller pro iphone.

[@Madarabishal]

Using 13 mini battery health 77 for everyday use KZbin call little games camera it is good camera also great video is muc better than 40000 rs android

[@rambobailey87]

I just got a 12 mini 128gb unlocked for $200. I like it but the battery is at 80 health. Has me kind of nervous. Saw yours is at 72 now and you got it at 75. What do you think? It’s a secondary device just so I don’t put a lot of abuse on my 15 Pro Max.

[@kennethxavier6012]

Is the mini good for a 50 year old? Love the 12 mini but am not getting any younger tho😂. My eyesight is still good for now since i am still using iphone se 2020 for now. Planning to buy a 12 mini soon but divided over a 12 mini or 12 pro which is bigger. Honest opinion anyone?

[@calm_atom]

5/6 hour is a lot man I use my phone at least 8hr a day not every day but 4/5 hours means that I have to charge the iPhone twice a day and this if it's new after 6 months I should charge it 4 times a day

[@AyushmaanYadav19]

Bro if you’re saying that 5-6 hours is a long time to use your phone then why would you buy a phone that expensive? Just buy a normal phone and shut the hell up?

[@techno_eclipse]

Facts

[@Diyas-vn1xc]

I think this phone is great in terms of usage but in today’s world person need 120Hz Promotion✨ feature

[@steveb1972]

72% battery health in a 13???? Man, you must’ve pushed that HARD!!!!! The iPhone 8 Plus I’ve had since launch is still at 84%!

[@czkmeister]

My Mini is sitting at 89%, original battery. Dude must've been charging it multiple times a day and really pushing it.

[@techno_eclipse]

Battery health of 72% on the 12 mini, I bought it when it was around 75% or so over a year ago. I don't think I made that very clear LOL

[@czkmeister]

@@techno_eclipse Oh gotcha. Honestly I have to say I was recently contemplating getting the 15 Pro Max since it's on sale, but even the 13 Mini still gives me solid 2 day battery life, I wouldn't have much use for that monster.

[@CarlosLopez-dj8rv]

I have a problem with my 13 mini then it was at 94% battery health 20 days ago its at 88% as of now Charge it once a day i dont think that normal

[@steveb1972]

@@techno_eclipse it must have had a hard life!

[@MrCullty]

when did you shave your head

[@techno_eclipse]

It has been a while, I think 2 years now. I just normally wear a hat on camera haha

[@iamtyrese]

i just upgraded from the 12 mini to a 13 pro little under a week now and i’m loving it. 120 hertz is such a killer feature! bigger screen, a bigger battery, better cameras and little improvements in between. very premium feeling device i must say. 12 mini was a good run(1 year) 🤍
