I'm so happy with my iPhone 13 mini - got the 512 GB version too so that it could be future-proof :-) (upgraded from iPhone SE 1st generation)

[@demagagegigogu]

Fantastic phone

[@MikeCobweb]

Great investment, especially considering that the 13 mini could be the last mini iPhone Apple makes.

[@imdiesel9725]

are you downloading your porn or what u gonna do with 512 GB :D

[@john.doe_0007]

Unless you really need 512 gig you could have gone for 13 256gb

[@xces_fn]

Bro could just have gone with the iPhone 13 256gb or iPhone 13 pro(max). 512gb is overkill if you don't take a lot of videos and download movies etc.

[@JunoTheFusky]

I'm really impressed with the iPhone SE 3. The same general body and size as the iPhone 8 but so much better battery life due to the improvements in the chip and battery size, etc. Super impressive

[@NinPossible]

As a SE 2 user, I'm so glad that its battery life is much better. I love mine but its battery life is getting worse every day. I think I'll wait for the 14 to come out and get a 13 mini since there will be no mini anymore.

[@kostas7973]

U dumb? My battery is worse then my 2016 SE it’s a terrible phone

[@dbzownz12345]

Double edge sword. Because mini maybe gone, prices may go up due to demand. People are sometimes weird like that. Take the Honda Civic Si for instance. No more Couple body style, so prices for it are up. Just food for thought, friend.

[@NinPossible]

@@dbzownz12345 Thank you 😊 I think it'll be fine since Apple will keep the old models for 2 more years.

@Shifkid I feel the same 100% 😞

[@enochskindasus6yago619]

Agreed. I use an se 2 as well, and the battery life is pretty bad.

[@gospelsoulman]

I have the SE 3 as a backup phone and decided to use it for a full day. I set the screen brightness to maximum level the entire time that I was out because it was a bright sunny day in the month of May. I watched cable TV on it and made many calls using the speaker phone. Then i played internet radio between the calls all whilst I used ride share apps as I commuted to different locations. When I got back home five hours later, there was 56% of battery power left. I talked for two hours on the phone that the evening (using speaker phone) and then afterwards I played a few games on it. I never charged it, woke up the next morning with 21% battery power left. I was very impressed and pleased with it. Being a budget phone, it was far better than I anticipated!!!

[@OccupiedMuffins]

I’ll tell you right now, you’re lying. There’s not a single chance you did all that and it made it to the next day with 21% the phone gets 5 hours of screen on time on a good day lmao. But here’s your internet points? So weird bro

[@gospelsoulman]

@@OccupiedMuffins and I’ll tell you right now that you don’t know what you’re talking about! It may only get 5 hrs screen on time but that’s not the same as talk time and streaming music! I turned off all notifications, and all app background functions and updates like social media Facebook and messenger and KZbin and mail fetching, even the locations activities with the google and Apple Maps when I wasn’t using them! When I was outside, the screen was brightest level but of course once I got back home I adjusted it. All phone calls and music streaming was through the speaker phone, not Bluetooth headsets! But now I will accept this challenge and try it once more and I’ll be totally honest with the results!

[@jm31828]

Yes the SE is fantastic! I bought one snd have been using it for a couple weeks snd absolutely love it. I picked up a new 13 mini on discount as well and am testing them both. I really like both snd can’t decide which to return! The SE ultimately was about $200 cheaper, so I’d be way ahead financially by keeping the SE- but I can’t shake how much I like the mini as well.

[@Felshish]

Dam thats impressive my Iphone 8 wont even hold up like 4 hours of youtube at mid brightness,i had to charge it like 4 times for a full day and it still ended up with 46%.

[@aravarora]

Amazing video! This is gonna help so many people choose a small phone, also can you make a battery drain test for iOS 15.4.1 from iPhone 6s to 13 including iPhone SE 2 and 3?

[@liamjameslovell7294]

Currently using an iPhone 8 and I’m considering getting the SE3 as an upgrade. Love the size & weight and easy one handed use. Will I see notable upgrades in performance, battery life & cameras? Even though my 8 has 100% BH on iOS 16, it does drain fast and can overheat.

[@sparky6757]

While I’m not in the market for a smaller phone anyway (the keyboard’s smaller than I like on my XR, iPad Mini’s keyboard is ideal imo) and I’m just watching this for fun, I’ve gotta say, the SE 3 is kinda impressive. Launching for barely half the price of the 13 Mini, and secondhand prices being about half for SE 3 vs 13 Mini, if I were on a tight budget I wouldn’t mind the concessions SE makes if I could get it for 200 bucks. It’s kinda a shame that Apple doesn’t make big budget phones, it’s not a lot more expensive to put in a bigger screen. If they made a Pro Max sized SE 4 for like $500, even if it used the iPhone 8 design in everything other than size, that’d be a tempting way to save $400 compared to the current iPhone Plus pricing. I don’t love the aspect ratio on modern phones anyway, it wouldn’t be a big sacrifice to lose the top and bottom of the screen since in return I wouldn’t need to deal with curves or a notch or a wack aspect ratio.

[@youngseokkim1560]

I feel grateful for your effort which helped a lot. Btw I just copped SE 3rd gen before watching this.

[@jesusheals3799]

how has it been so far?

[@Maniac-007]

Just got the new SE and have been using it only for 2 weeks so far. Not a heavy user, I’ve been maintaining the battery between 80-20% (only charged it full to 100% once by accident). Today’s usage was around 6 hours from 75-20% (2 1/2 hrs Instagram, WhatsApp 30 mins, 1 3/4 KZbin, and the rest on MLBB, a MOBA game). Only bought this 256GB model for $325 from my telco provider, so I will be biased in my opinion it’s worth the price.

[@enochskindasus6yago619]

Apple is able to sell such good specs in a phone because of the older design. The price to make the shell goes down each year, and they are using an iPhone 8’s shell. And a decent amount of people still want the home button. Apple probably won’t change the design.

@@Caution40404 How can the bigger iPhones be badly priced if they sell like hot cakes?

[@Caution40404]

@@Altoseb Because it's Apple and they sell regardless. They're not competing with anyone which is why their prices are garbo while still behind the competition (e.g. the laughable 60Hz for the standard iPhone). As to why the Mini didn't sell well, it's only $100 less than a much larger screen and battery iPhone 13.

[@Altoseb]

@@Caution40404 Not competing with anyone? Yep, last time I checked they were the only smartphone manufacturer in existence. What an odd thing to claim. As regards the mini, there is a contingent of people who eschew larger phones in favour of smaller variants, regardless of spec. The average person doesn't care about refresh rates. If that were the case they would turn to much cheaper 120mhz phones instead. In any case, the iPhones 60mhz scrolling isn't too choppy due to optimisation. You make a mistake when you reduce everything to numbers. It's the overall experience that the product offers that counts - namely customer service, longevity, ease of use, eco system, overall satisfaction etc and this is where the iPhone beats rivals.

If I had to listen to them, I would have never gotten my S22; which doesn't have a great battery life by ANY MEANS but with real life usage I got like over 11h of total usage yesterday with 5h30 of them being SoT... if they could manage to get battery drain in standby as low as 0.5/0.8% that would be much better, currently I'm getting about 1.2/1.5%.
