the battery life would go down the drain, as if its not already bad enough, I have had mine for about 1.5 years, and I can get about 4 hours on a single charge, and Im not even a heavy user, I barely take photos, I dont play any games, all I use it for is simple text and call, and social media.

the 13 mini was my first iphone and i really love it. ive had mine since launch 2 years ago.i prefer a small form factor phone as i came over from a Samsung s10E. i hate they discontinued this smaller phone and i cannot convince myself to upgrade to a bigger phone..i'm going to keep this phone for the foreseeable future, i will get a battery replacement when the capacity gets below 60 or so percent and keep it trucking.

[@bimmer8602]

Sd cards are basically gone with samsung line up or most android phones sadly.

[@chriscasillas]

I recently upgraded form the 12 mini to the 15. I really liked the mini, but the battery on that generation just couldn't hold up any more. It's also been nice to go back to a bigger phone now. It's really a preference thing and you can't go wrong with either. Great video.

[@JSLReview]

Yeah I loved the 12 mini but battery life was an issue, it’s better on the 13 mini but there are limits to what you can get if you use your phone a lot. Apple just needs to make a fat mini that has a stacked battery haha. Thanks for watching!

[@somnerprice4693]

That really would be the best phone ever! I wouldn’t even care if it was thick. Sadly, moved away from 12 mini to 13 mini and unfortunately jumped to 13pro. I love the 13pro, just wish it was the mini size!

I bought my iPhone 13 mini last year, and most people were asking me why and that I should have bought the bigger phone. I never regretted my decision because apart from the fact that I love smaller phones because my hand can only hold so much size, I love how it's been performing so far. I'm not planning to give up on it until it'll give up on me.

[@АлександрИванов-и7ы7г]

We need iPhone mini PRO!

[@JSLReview]

Agreed!

[@F48l4N99]

The problem with the mini for me was not the small size. It's just that they never gave it the flagship specs. If the made an iPhone mini with the features of the pro's or even made the base pro smeller, I would happily buy it. Sure more features and tiny battery won't be a good combo but the size that felt comfortable would be a trade off that I would make. Just my take tho 🤷‍♂

[@Nobreakmedia]

My dad brought me the 15 pro after me telling him constantly that I’m keeping my 13mini till it’s outdated. I very much appreciate his gesture but I have no reason to upgrade. It perfectly fits my hand and that’s the one thing I can’t part ways with. We gave the 15 to my sister since she had the xr 💀🥲

[@garyrobinson6247]

Just bought an apple refurbished 12 mini, with 256GB for about £100 less than a current SE with the same memory (the only small phone Apple now sells). No competition. It will hold my entire music collection. does everything I need and much more, is far more capable than the SE (Larger, brighter, higher res screen, FACE ID, MAGSAFE, Better camera etc.) and will continue to be supported for at least another 3 years. If you are looking for a small phone, get a refurbished 12 or 13 mini over the new SE.

People are sad that the mini is gone, but honestly the 13 mini is still plenty of phone in 2024. We haven't needed new iPhones every year for a long time now. I'd be more than happy with Apple "retrying" the mini experiment every 4-5 years. I've had my 13 mini since it came out, just got the battery replaced, and I'm good to go for another 2-3 years.

I am still using mine daily. I will have the battery changed soon. IT heats up a lot with CarPlay. Otherwise I like the cameras, just as good as the bigger 13 or 14, and it fits in my pocket or on my bike for GPS with Komoot.

I upgraded to a 13 mini from an 11 pro max. I've warmed a bit more to my new phone because the battery life is really bad, fortunately I got a great MagSafe battery that allows me to reach the end of the day without any hassle. However there’s something that very few people talk about and it is the considerable change in the minimum distance focus. I shot close up videos and take photos of game consoles, video game cases and figures and now I have to hold my phone considerably further in order to get a good focus but sacrificing detail. Had I know that before, I’d have kept my 11 pro max.

[@Amy-J]

I’m gonna go against the grain, as an iPhone SE2020 that just got a 13 Mini for one-handed use. I use control centre a lot on the SE, it’s incredibly convenient at a quick swipe up from the home button. The only need for me to reach the top of the screen is in certain apps, at which point I’m already more involved / in a better position to move my hands around more. Make no mistake, even though it’s a ‘Mini’, the OS specific to it is *not* made with one handed use in mind. You have to slide your hand / strain your thumb to reach the top of the screen to open control centre. If you’re slightly off, you’ll open a search bar that you may never likely use. All workarounds are sloppily implemented from back tap to assistive touch. This is a two-handed phone, designed as a two handed phone, shrunken down. If you prefer one handed then you’re absolutely gonna struggle. If you prefer two handed, the normal iPhone 13 is obviously the better deal.

[@grumpyoldben]

I’ve had the 13 mini for 2 years and am due an upgrade with my carrier next month … doubt I’ll bother for the time being. This is my fave iPhone since the 5. Pocket friendly and great to carry/use. I have an iPad for larger screen use, which isn’t that often to be honest.

[@BabeiIlie]

imagine this on full screen without notch, or Dynamic Island......

[@anthonysimpson6738]

I have a unboxed iPhone 13 mini in the cupboard as a backup and ready to go if my current iPhone 13 mini dies, lost or has an accident. It is just that good a form factor and phone. I have a iPad mini for when I need a larger screen the combo fits perfectly in my pockets. When consider Steve Jobs would have thought the mini was a big phone they should bring back the smaller form factor. Hopefully they revamp the SE and give it the Mini form factor although Apple do seem to have given up on smaller phones. I think the only thing I miss is usb-c connector over lightning that is becoming the standard. I am sure the quality of the phone should mean it lasts until 2030 for me at least. I primarily use it as a phone, iPod, for texting, photos and calls and listening to music. In emergencies for emails or the like but anything requiring a large screen the iPad works. Being able to have it on me without it feeling like a brick in my pocket is a game changer. The combo mini phone and iPad probably cheaper than buying a current iPhone Pro. It also means I am not on my phone all of the time because the form factor is small. Anyway I do hope Apple has another go at making a smaller phone, but if they don’t I am right for now.

[@erikoganbare6546]

The iPhone mini 13 & the iPad mini 6 is the perfect combination, I have both, I don't need or want anything else, after buying both I realised it would be prudent to buy 2 more of each & keep in storage as back up, I can justify this to myself, but not to my wife, so my only alternative is to try & source replacement batteries for each.
