Still rocking my 512GB 13 Mini. I don’t want a newer phone be sure I don’t need a brick in my pocket. There’s nothing else like this form factor. Battery health is at 89% so I have at least 2 more years. I’ll consider other options until then. I’ll miss my 13 Mini so much when the inevitable time comes. I use my MacBook Air or iPad mini 6 when I’m at home. My phone stays in my backpack.

[@I_am_FRANCO]

Where’s the problem with replacing the battery??? Makes it longer than 2 years. Mind you no more minis in this short life 😉

[@caelointheclouds]

Iphone 13 Mini Lives!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 The best device ever. The form factor is really comfortable.

[@MinimalisTech]

Best iPhone ever made!

[@xBravo412x]

I bought the iPhone 15 earlier this year with a very good discount from T-Mobile. Gave my mini to my daughter to use. I regret it. I miss my mini. I hope Apple will upgrade the mini or the SE

[@MinimalisTech]

Haha. I feel that. My wife has my 15 pro. I couldn’t give up the mini

[@EZxGHOST]

Why not give her the 15 and keep the mini lol

By the way. I appreciate your channel. Feels like old school CNET days. 2000’s when the 404 show was up and running and they had a lot of great talent

[@pug_63]

I upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini (same footprint as my iPhone 7) in January this year. It really complements my iPad Mini - just upgraded from the 5th to the 7th Gen - and the Product Red colour I got is stunning. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for the content.

[@Juhsentuh]

Green 13 mini FTW, still rocking mine daily! I’m in love! Battery health at 90% and I plan to change the battery when Apple will allow me to do so.

[@cheeseburns11]

I have a 16 Pro but I’ve always wanted the 13 mini. I have it in my amazon basket and I’m so tempted to purchase it for the exact reasons you’ve mentioned.

[@cheeseburns11]

Just ordered it 😂

@ I’ve not put my sim in it yet but have set it up. It feels great in the hand though. You’ll see a huge difference if you’re coming from the 6s.

[@guilhermereis4907]

I completely agree with you! I’m still holding onto my iPhone 13 mini as well, and I have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. It’s the perfect combination of compact size, great performance, and reliable battery life. Why change something that works so well?

[@mpolisi86]

Thanks!

[@MorningNapalm]

I've been considering a 16 Pro, but I have watched a whole lot of 13 Mini love stories like yours, and now I am thinking I will just get a new battery for mine, which is the one thing that bothers me the most, the second being the under-spec camera, but then, I have lots of real cameras for that.

[@9Someguy]

Watching this on my 13 mini as I’m waiting for my 16 pro to arrive lol I got it on release and I didn’t really plan to upgrade because I don’t like this huge phones but I destroyed the battery (76bh%) with extreme overheating issues and battery drainage when using camera and youtube, also 60hz is really starting to bug me in 2024 If they ever bring it back I’m switching to it no hesitation

[@Jeannemarre]

Here we go again 😂😂 Went from 14 pro max to 13 mini when the 15 came out. Never looked back

[@user-qx3yo7sx9u]

Ive been rocking the 13 mini since its release. The battery health dropped to 75%, I replaced the battery at a local shop and it’s basically back to new.

[@ClipsCaster007]

How much hours does it give bro after getting a fresh battery like is it good for a day or is it comparable to a base model of iPhone 12

[@user-qx3yo7sx9u]

@@ClipsCaster007 It's like having a brand new 13 mini out of the box. It lasts a full day and I have zero battery anxiety. I went to UbreakIfix, they used an OEM battery. I'm not the type that plays games all day, however I'm almost always playing music, podcasts, or KZbin talks in the background with AirPods. I can't compare to an iPhone 12, I went from a XS Max to a 13 mini

[@qilimercurial5116]

When you change battery, did the battery health show the percentage??

[@Ben-bj1oz]

Battery life is terrible on the mini , if you could get good battery life in a compact phone I’d change in an instant

[@Dmc963]

all they need to do it make it thicker if they did that i would still buy it over any other phone. iphone pro max makes i pad purchase pointless ….so they lose money on both sides

[@MrJ978]

Still using 13 mini 😎 Did you update to iOS 18 on it?

[@MinimalisTech]

Yup! So far so so good!

[@ernestbuckstarr]

I’m the same. I get sucked in and I buy , compare and then return the pro. From my side-by-side comparisons, the the main camera on iPhone pros improve about 2.5% yearly. I never needed to wear a belt until I bought the 13 Pro. (luckily I do not need social media) if Apple makes another small phone, I will buy one. Maybe two. 👍🏻

[@MadranoPoniatoski]

after 12 mini and 13 mini i fell in love with se 2022 !!! i sold my 13pro 14pro 15pro affter 2 months and back to se2022🤣 i love mini phones hate these new iphones

Bro 😂 you are crazy! A roll is on fire tho 🔥

[@tgreen12345]

I still have my purple 12 Mini with 100% Battery health. I also use my 15 Pro which is the next best thing to the mini as it’s really light. I switch between both. The mini is the cutest iPhone Apple has ever made. I also have the iPad Mini 6 and a perfect condition fully speced 12’ MacBook. I love my Mini set up. Your videos are enjoyable.

[@danpm1990]

How can you have 100% on the 12 still? Did you replace the battery?

[@zansha9973]

Bro neither doesn't buy luxury clothes,Shoes or cars. Nor does clubbing,Drugs or Alchohol. Bro's a chill guy who loves his tech 😅👊🏼

[@MinimalisTech]

LOL

[@ClipsCaster007]

Is the battery good if I choose it over a 12 and if yes like if I get the battery replaced to a fresh one will it last longer then iPhone 12 please a little help ❤

[@mt.sefuri3909]

I myself wouldn't mind all the downgrades, from the refresh rate or the smaller form factor. What I really do mind is the fact that I have to work with a lightning cable. I do not have enough ports to combine both USB-C and Lightning so...

[@markallen4001]

I just got the 16 pro (my first smart phone)but like my wife’s 13 mini a lot. The cost on the new ones is $$$$.

Nothing inferior about the mini. It’s a phone. You text you call you take pictures. Thats it. If i want power ill get a crazy pc. What people dont get is they laugh at small phones but thats because their eye site is horrible

[@MinimalisTech]

I’m looking forward to the lite phone III in February! Won’t be be smartphone anymore but still pumped to check it out

[@Treborray]

I kind of did the same thing. I upgraded from the 13 Pro to the 16 Pro and back to the 13 Pro in 24 hours of the phone's release... For some reason today im thinking about giving it another try

[@cobydog456]

i just bought the 16 Pro coming from a 12, I was expecting a totally different experience and was definitely wrong lol. sure its slightly quicker and has better cameras and battery life. but its not $1200 better. I am now thinking of returning the 16 pro and wanting for the 17 or even 18

Question. How is the battery of the iPhone 13 mini like?

[@abipray]

Mine is at 74% very bad

[@Vann113]

Not great but I still love the size

[@Milutinovic15]

Ever since it dropped below 80% I’ve had to charge it at least twice a day, and I never go out without an external battery. It’s definitely a downside of the form factor which is otherwise fantastic. It can be resolved with a battery replacement easily though, so not that big of a deal in the end.

[@CookieMonster-we1in]

Ill take the mini any day. I dont want a laptop in my pocket. Big phones are inconvenience for my pants.

[@Jean-SimonChenard]

of course you did.

They get you every year because you probably new to the apple world. Ive been over it since iphone 8. You realize it’s the same stuff. And what apple has done before is slow down the older devices with new updates.

[@ricardomerk2]

Very Bold move i must add

[@mpolisi86]

I do the exact same thing my brother I appreciate you being so awesome with this video as it was on the previous video about the 15 pro :-) which I also have but I am using my 13 mini at the moment for now going on two weeks in a row 😊 you’re right on every single aspect of it. It’s like it’s portable. It’s not obtrusive. It’s not heavy. It’s just right for everything that you really should use a phone for 😊 100,000% agree with you on the Apple upgrades every year it’s gotten stagnant ever since the 12 pro in my opinion minuscule updates one after the other settle improvements nothing drastic the only other great thing in my mind was as far as phones. Excuse me was the 11 Pro series. It was the other awesomeness besides the 13 series the 15 series is OK 16 series is just OK as well. Come on Apple come on Apple get your stuff straight 😊 staying with my 13 MINI well dancer.😊😊

[@katu6655]

exactly same video as 15 pro :D

[@ballooneyjr4294]

[@liveright1165]

I’m thinking about it too and also about the upcoming SE 4 what u think?

[@СашаМниха]

@ I think that SE 4 will not be a compact phone like 13 mini, these are completely different phones, 6.1 vs. 5.4 compactness prevails in mini 13, but the filling will be more modern in se4

[@zoobafornow]

When I saw the video title, I thought he was gonna say he likes the size of iPhone 13 mini and he doesn’t need extra functions of the new iPhone. If you think these KZbinrs have anything more than what other KZbinrs have said, the answer is NO. Just saved you 10 mins of listening to this guy yapping
