[@urbanistgod]

I agree that the the 13 mini has the better size but how is that finally the camera you want?

[@utsavratti]

@@urbanistgod It’s the iPhone 12 Pro Max camera system in the mini! Yes, it doesn’t have the improvements in the 13 Pro’s ultra wide but those are low light improvements that don’t apply to my usual photography. And the telephoto is slower, so that’s a downgrade anyway

[@urbanistgod]

I’m going to do the same. 12 pro max can’f fit in my back pocket without falling out.

[@ztzexplorer]

Great review. I’m getting the 13 mini. Thanks.

[@XhonDang]

Gonna snag the 13 Pro next week. I agree with all these points from the perspective of the average consumer and niche consumer. Realistically the power you have on the newer iPhone models casts a major shadow on the cameras I used as an entry level filmmaker over a decade ago. It’ll be really cool to see how newer creators, seasoned creators, and general consumers put these to use. I too lack a soul.

[@aburumaih]

2:22 Now I know why I felt your IPad mini review was the only one that speaks to me😂 as I’m considering to buy the iPhone mini with the iPad mini! 🤣 dude you think like a genus definitely subscribing to your channel 👍🏽

[@SeanMarsalis]

I love the mini. The size makes me want to use the phone. Also over the years I've never had to say, "thank God I had the pro phone!" Usually if I'm filming anything of substance I'm going to use my actual camera. Great perspective, Patrick.

[@impatrickt]

You gotta good head on your shoulders. Don’t fall into the hype. Most of our “needs” with these phones come from marketing.

[@teemuvesala9575]

@@impatrickt Yeah that's very true. 13 mini and 13 are enough for most people and most people who have pro models actually don't really utilize the extra features they have... They make sense only for very specific people. I mean also this 120hz craze is so overblown... I got my first 120hz PC screen all the way back in like 2012 or 2013 and honestly, the difference between 60hz and 120hz is far smaller than people make it out to be. I currently use 120hz screen as my main screen and 60hz as my secondary screen and the difference isn't really even noticeable when you're focused on working... Far more important is the color accuracy, pixel density and brightness of the screen.

Coming from a Note 8 to 13 Mini... no regrets. Pairs nicely with my Tab S7 thanks to google drive.

Amongst all others who covered cinematic mode in the new iPhones, yours demonstrated it the best by even concealing the fact that your A roll is from the iPhone, as you just mentioned it at the middle of the review! 🤯 This is the most convincing video on cinematic mode, everything looked so neat and professional. Magical.

I moved from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Mini and the battery life is much better than I expected, especially with the MagSafe battery pack. That thing basically lives on my 13 mini all day and I never think about if I need to recharge my phone. It's easily the fastest phone I've ever used, amazing display, incredible cameras, and it feels like it's not there in my pocket. The perfect iPhone.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Fantastic commentary and you're a natural in front of the camera, man. Looks like Macro, ProMotion, and LiDAR scanning are the major points in favor of the Pro. I've talked to some real estate folks and artists working with 3D printing, so I understand the requirement for accurate scanning, but the portability of the Mini is huge. P.S. I think Nolan's best film is Memento :)

I'm Definitelty trading in my 12 Pro for the 13 Mini for portability and ease of use with one hand. I thought I’d be able to shed some weight and size when I switched to the 12 Pro from the XS Max…I was wrong. My 12 Pro with an Apple leather case comes out to exactly 8 ozs.

[@jhr27_]

After having the iPhone 8 for four years, I upgraded to the iPhone 13 mini starlight. I like the colour and the screen but it takes some time getting used to, especially since you don't get a manual nowadays. However, I must say that my next upgrade will even take longer, probably around 6 years. The wow-factor I had when using the phone for the first time was little, which probably has to do with the fact that I copied my old iPhone files and settings to my new one. The fact is that nowadays phones are so good that you can use them for many years, which is something I will do too now. In 2,5/3 years I will replace my battery and use my phone for another 3 (or maybe 4 if Apple keeps the updates as long as they're doing with the iPhone 6S now) years. I really expected more satisfaction of this purchase.

[@modestmaude8367]

I have made the same exact upgrade! What a difference from the 8.

[@aldrinm90]

Nice content! New subscriber here!! Love my iPhone12 mini, will wait for 4 more years until they integrate touch ID in the home button with 120hz and a decent camera and go for an upgrade if the mini will still be around.

[@shauncameron8390]

I'm hoping to get that before my 42nd birthday.

[@mobboj7338]

Good vid dude. I got the 13 pro but would totally get the mini if i didn’t need the macro, telephoto. 13 is a HUGE improvement from the 12. I take like 500 pics a day and the 13 is a big difference. Love it.

[@somnerprice4693]

Patrick you killed this. I traded in my 12 mini on Saturday to a 13 pro. I find myself missing the size and function of the mini. I’m an everyday Dad who watches to much KZbin. I am really considering going back the mini size. Am I crazy? I can’t rationalize my bill going up and other than the battery on the pro I miss my mini.

I have the iPhone 13 mini as well and the way I see it, it is the original iPhone that Steve Jobs would love due to its size. I agree with him in the fact that a phone should be something compact that you can take with you seamlessly and a one handed operation. I’ve also found myself using my phone less which means less social media and more real life interaction
