@@Hairygranny All the rumors suggest there hasnt been enough mini demand to justify continuing to produce a mini version, so probably not

[@3urobob]

@@des4719 Apple rumours are reasonably accurate these days, and the poor sales of mini devices support this one substantially

[@3urobob]

@@des4719 While that may be true, the product life cycle of an iphone is a lot more than 1 year. Supply contracts for components for a mini 14 would have been long decided upon already. Not quite as simple as just deciding to do another one now based on 13 mini sales. Maybe enough to reconsider in the future, but will likely skip the 14. I'll do my part though, dont really need an upgrade but want the mini form factor, so i'll add to the demand 😂

Bought a 13 mini 512gb less than a week ago, I'm very satisfied with the phone....tiny but really powerful and for my usage I never get it under 25% at the end of the day...I was skeptical the first days but I think the battery had to do a few cycles...totally in love with this phone, if you have the extra money buy it without a doubt over the 12 mini...extra battery and better wide sensor for just 50 bucks are a no brainer...

I just got the mini a few days ago. I’m coming from the XS, so I was a little bit afraid of the mini’s size and if it was going to be hard to type on it or watch videos (I got it more for the price) but the phone isn’t really that small, it’s about the size of the iPhone 6 and I was surprised how easy it was to get right back into it. Typing is easy (if anything, easier because of the smaller phone) and it feels so great to hold a phone in one hand and not feel like a brick is weighing you down in your pocket. I really love it!

[@andrewdishman26]

I agree. In a whole day at what point are you on your phone so much that it can’t be set down on a wireless charger for 15min to even half an hour which would clearly make up the 44 min difference in battery life even if you do use a lot. If you even drive for 15min a day, there you go plug it in while in the car. As you said if battery life is your main concern with new phones your probably using it too much and should probably be on your phone less and not more and doing something else productive in your life like a job and life.

Hi, like your video. I lucked out and got the 13 Mini for $599 plus $180 for my SE2. Total price was $480.00 at Best Buy. Note, that $100 price break is gone 😟. As for battery life, I'm not a power user as I actually use it for communicating, I turn on Low Power after it’s fully charged and wind up with 60-70% when I go to bed! The A15 and battery are a major reason the Mini is now a fantastic choice. I went for the Mini because it fits in my jeans front pocket! Even in a regular case! Whatever the faults of the 12 Mini, the 13 really addresses them all. Sometimes it takes some tweaking but Apple finally gets it right. I suspect that the SE 4 will be a return of the Mini since Apple says the 13 is the end of the road for it as a flagship iPhone.

[@meissnerflux]

Yes they both use nano-sim. BTW, the classic SE is an underrated phone for the price. I owned one for a while and loved the form factor. Eventually Best buy began selling them for $100-$200 depending on storage... An incredible value. With 11-13 series, the ultra wide angle lense is a noticable boost to photography, if you're into that. Practically speaking , better radios for more reception, and Waterproofing as more or less an insurance policy ( though my SE basically survived a torrential downpour) , plus battery life to the extent that your needs may or may not demand... The downside of the 11-13 is lack of headphone jack :-(. , And subjectively, maybe or maybe not size .

[@shevetlevi2821]

I loved my iPhone 5s (my first smart phone) but I was having more and more problems and its obsolescence was near. I don't like the larger size of most of the newer generation iPhones so I resisted upgrading. I went to the Apple store to tweek my 5s but when I saw that the iPhone 13 mini was virtually the same size as the 5s (just a 1/4 inch longer) I bought it. The improvement in battery time is awesome and on one hand I'm glad that my phone will be current for several years but there are little annoying things about it. Previously with the 5s I did well with my 2 thumbs texting or emailing. With the 13 mini all of a sudden I make literally 3 times as many typos and the autocorrect is too aggressive. I'm constantly backspacing and retyping. Also, unlocking with my thumb print on the 5s was far better for me than facial recognition. In all fairness I guess Apple couldn't foresee the pandemic where we'd all be wearing masks but I'm a health professional and with wearing a mask 8 hours a day I still have to enter my security code for most of the day as the phone doesn't recognize me with a mask on. If anyone has encountered these little problems or has any suggestions please feel free to comment.

Since you have the 13 series, You can update your software to iOS 15.4 and that supports the new Face ID mask. So if you work 8 hours a day and you need that phone unlock at all time while your mask is on, that new Face ID mask it will unlock your phone just like when u didn’t have your mask on.

Extra storage, battery life, better cameras and an extra year of software support makes it an easy decision at official pricing IMO. It's going to be quite unlikely that a phone as small as the 12/13 mini will come so spending the extra cash now is worth it IMO.

Nice!

U didn’t describe about night mode. Is there night mode available during video recording in iPhone 13 mini?

[@Ephicx]

They're making 4 different big versions of the iPhone 16, but they won't make a Mini... Just different big big big. I can't judge what they do to make money as I don't look at their revenues, but it seems to me it would be better if they continued with the iPhone Mini if only to ensure people who like small phones don't start using competitors instead. Growth for competitors is always bad, even if it's at the cost of short term revenue for R&D and production of less popular phones. It gives the competitor bigger room to capture marketshare in the bigger phones as well as they've already got the small phone market without much effort. Fortunately the 12 mini still does everything I need it for 4 years later. It's in good shape too. If it ever breaks I'll probably just buy another used 12 mini or switch to hopefully some new and improved mini androids. I was a former android user, but they stopped making high quality small phones and focused entirely on the big flagships and that's why I got my first iPhone, the mini. Most small androids have a tendency to be very cheap and plastic nowadays since they're only seen as "phones for people who can't afford a big one" and not just a desirable phone... I'd happily switch back to an android phone if this changes in the next few years unless Apple changes their mind and makes a new mini.

4:10 is it just me or are the 12 mini photos actually better than the 13 mini

[@derah_luna]

Think so too.

I’ve subscibed…because, why not !!!😊

[@ThisIsE]

That’s my point exactly 😊🙌🏻

[@taytayshaniqua.8686]

For reference the body of the 13 mini is just about the same size as the se or 8, although thicker. The screen size is about .1” smaller than the 8 plus and 7 plus. That’s a very decent screen size in a compact body phone. The deal breaker though is that the iPhone 8 is in fact heavier than the 13 mini.

Does the Apple Mac SafeBack battery help not get the battery ratio off the phone?

Is cinematic mode a gimmick?

Are battery charging cases good or bad?

Sometimes they are necessary 😊

Good but horrible for the battery health

I like the weather / clock widget ! Where can I get this?

Hey 👋🏻 since Widgy keeps restricting the link I’ve provided in the description, I decided to create a quick tutorial on how to create a similar widget yourself. Feel free to check out the video that I just posted: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJmmgpisr5ZrhJI

Nah too much charging for the 12 mini will just ruin the battery life

Hi E :) This is a very nice video as always. I have a question: What are your calendar and clock/weather apps at 4: 38? Their widgets seem very nice.

Did they fix the notch protruding on videos as seen at 2:15 on your video? That might be a deal breaker for me.

did they fix it? I might get the iPhone 12 mini instead of 13 mini
