I owned the 13 mini and loved everything except the battery life. And the 12-13 mini had the 5.4 inch screen but the 6-7-8+ all had the 5.5 inch screen so literally almost the same viewing area. But so much less bulk.

[@abaa1893]

Battery life not too bad compared to size actually

[@pinky1933]

@@abaa1893 very true and if I wasn’t a heavy user I would think better of it. But at work I would have it running in the background with podcasts or KZbin video. If I had it on a charger during that time it would have been no problem.

[@jarovdavila3345]

I have the iPhone 12 mini and I think the same

[@lmuacky3793]

Had it since launch and I'm still rocking it, replaced the battery a month ago and planning to use it for another 2+ years, absolutely love the size, battery gets me through the full day with around 5 hours of SOT and ends up with around 30% at the end of the day

[@ballooneyjr4294]

How?? I had it for 2 years did a battery replacement and it went to 90% within 6 months… I got the 13 mini and the battery is way better. I guess I used it a lot for roadtrips, to take the bus and listen to music etc tho

[@lmuacky3793]

@@ballooneyjr4294 since you mentioned road trips might be because of heat, that degrades battery A LOT, also letting them reach 0%

[@justbulma]

Just got the iPhone 12 mini and I absolutely love it it’s the perfect size for me

[@galihmukti]

How’s the battery life?

[@mysterymarley4085]

I got 12 mini in green 5 months ago with 256gb and it was at 88% battery health now it’s at 84% and I love it. I’m not trying to spend much money to get the battery replaced just yet so I got a mophie battery pack case and it’s good all day. It’s a great phone

[@vlutous2003]

does it jitters sometimes?

[@unboxings5218]

I used to have a 13 mini and upgraded to a 15 Pro. I got used to the 15 Pro size but then since I gave my sister my 13 mini I asked her if we could switch phones for a week, and she agreed. I’m back on my 15 Pro after a week and honestly loved the 13 mini only things missing were telephoto lens, Dynamic Island, 120hz, action button, and USB-C. (Obviously so much more but these are the only ones I noticed). Now my 15 Pro feels huge for some reason even though I was used to the size before.

[@user-fy6nw9ql1d]

it will feel normal in a week or 2 don't worry 😅

[@Twinflame915]

He did it!!!!

[@Landon6983]

I had a 12 mini but yesterday I sold it for a 15 I’m kinda sad but it’s for the storage 😢

[@koukkoufos2000]

Dude, please do a day in the life with iPhone 15 pro max and all the pro max iPhones because you did them all except the 15 pro max

[@blablaba1871]

Just got a used one for $150.

[@DerrickGerard]

do you think it's worth getting one for 130€

[@sarthakgawari1381]

@@DerrickGerard yeah !

[@r.alheydary]

@@DerrickGerardput another 200 ontop of that and you can get a 13 pro max much better decision

[@LegendarySufi]

Thank you for this honest review.

[@emilsecker7881]

Are you planning on getting a new MacBook Pro soon? I noticed you’re still using a 2017 model. While macOS Ventura is still supported for now, it won’t be by the end of next year

[@cavemanproductions366]

The 13 mini is the dream phone I will never be able to get

[@37izzu]

The fact that this phone has the least battery capacity and you're not even turn low power mode on for the whole usage is crazy. Me could never even though mine is iPhone 13 pro. I only got about 6hrs screen on time with low power mode on with current 83% battery health

[@VladVibes]

6h with LTE/5G? or WIFI? Coz my 11 with 85% can do 7+h screen time on WIFI

[@37izzu]

@@VladVibes with LTE actually cause I dont have wifi at my home

[@rawgaming9915]

Loved the small size

[@unboxings5218]

When you do these reviews does 60hz bother you since I see you also do pro models?

[@trongho448]

I love ip13 mini. But it's have screen issue. Did anyone have screen issue on 13 mini??

[@u-aphiwe]

using it rn i have the 64G version and battery is not that great especially with ios 17.5 and 18beta i went from 94% to 81% in 7 months if u going to use it for gaming it heats up easily and battery drains rapidly overall a good phone i think ill only replace the battery by the end of this year

[@julianasbatarginas8188]

The only trouble is worn out battery in all minis

[@TheLastDayofthesun]

Thanks!

Where is 12 video?

Should I buy the pixel 7 or this one??

[@HoneyFighter_BCW]

get the 7 unless you really want iOS

[@redbirdsandfriends8499]

The iPhone 12 mini has always been a mini powerhouse, however, how does it compare battery wise to the bigger iPhone 12 models?

[@Thevamp1reking]

Save up and buy a 15 in cash. I know you don’t want to, but you should. Don’t rush to get a new shiny iPhone like I did. Apples fucking us again, all this new ios 18 shit coming out and we can’t even get the game new AI they released, finally made Siri smart and anyone on a 14 pro and lower won’t get a single taste of that new tech.

[@jairusdeleon8915]

about 1 hour less with the regular 12 and 12 Pro, 13 mini too. Not much difference.

[@jarridtaylor7778]

Is this a good phone for a 10 year olds birthday this year?

[@moth2997]

Remember that after 2 years of usage you will need to charge it almost 2times a day

[@cursedkovri7042]

Can you do regular iPhone 11 Pro? i'm curious how 11 Pro battery hold up in 2024

[@adamnoflex3827]

I had it and it can last whole day

[@jocklazer4]

The only aura I’m interested in is rizz, okay?

[@TheCrazyChickenProductions]

I don’t like 12 mini. The notch is a joke, it’s even bigger than the regular 12’s notch. I think the 12 mini feels really small because of notch, 13 mini feels like the Pro Max compared to this.

[@brianhampton2347]

How is this a video? The phone is literally 3 years old. This isn’t real day in the life. Maybe with an iPhone 3 or something
