I'm still thinking about what model to buy, the 13 mini is better than 12 in every aspect except for the smaller display, i think i should try to grab one from a store to compare it to my hand and see if i can adapt to the smaller size cause that's the inly thing stoping me to decide

[@eltechnica]

The iPhone 12 was hands down the worst iPhone I've ever had for some reason. It's battery health at 100% still felt lackluster. It's performance was spotty. After trading in for a 13 Pro, it felt like a much larger leap than it should have. This is something I like to keep in mind whenever I'm debating an upgrade. Phones are not cheap anymore, but upgrading annually is just a silly thing to do on your own dime.

Still better than the 11 though

[@tylerdavison1653]

Just got an iPhone 13 mini in 'Midnight' color *FOR FREE* and couldn't be happier. Paired with the deluxe Apple leather 'Midnight'-colored MagSafe wallet, the two go together extremely well. Also have the iPhone SE 2022 (3rd gen) in 'Midnight' and the wallet pairs extremely well with it as well. Just needed to purchase a MagSafe-compatible black case for the SE 3 in order to use the wallet with it. Phenomenal.
