Well to be honest the 13 mini did perform well for its size up to 8hr screen on time is amazing. But it’s just not good enough for me based on my lifestyle.
in one charge, yours got 5-6 screen on time - because it counted before the last charge, which is ok for a 2400mah battery. but I prefer to go with 13/13pro even though it's very big for me and my pocket! I'm still confused between 13/13pro.
But look at what you did with smallest battery in the 13 line up . And you used made on screen time almost 9 hours on screen 1 hour off screen with a 12 hour use lol that’s pretty impressive with such a tiny battery 🔋
its not 8 hrs for a full charge, he charged in the middel, so its probably about 4-5 hrs with a full charge, which is good as well dont get me wrong but it simply isnt 8 hrs.
@@filip75fv with 4g it may last only 4 hours of screen play. He could last his battery life till the end with wifi. The wifi saves a lot of battery charge. In the North America or Europe it is easier to live - wifi at home and in the office. You may use 4g only between those destinations. The battery long lasting must be tested on 4g then we can see the real ability of devices.
I’ve just bought a 13 mini yesterday, based on your video. This is my first, full day of use and currently at 11 PM it still has 36% battery left with 6 hours if SOT…incredible!
I think for everyday user the 13 mini battery life is going to be fine. He’s filming videos, taking so many pics with the phone. I sometimes don’t even take a single pic for a few days so 13 mini battery should be more than enough
I get more than a full day of use on my 13 mini. Wake up at 6 go to work at 7 and by the time I get home at 4 I’m around 70% battery. Around 11 pm I’m still around 35-40%. I’m also not taking photos of everything I see. I do scroll through social media a lot though and make a good amount of phone calls and texts as well. For normal people who don’t constantly make videos or take 100 plus pictures a day I think it’s more than enough.

You'd boost your battery life a lot by using dark mode. It goes a long way with the oled panel. Also maybe get a magsafe battery pack. It actually contours to the mini like a grip on a camera, it's pretty great.

I used to change my phone quite frequently, but when I bought my new iPhone 13 mini, I felt like I didn’t want to buy any phone again because, for me, this phone is the most perfect in all aspects, and I guess this could be the reason why Apple doesn’t want to continue creating a small flagship iPhone again, because people who buy such a small and powerful iPhone like this could probably not buy any future iPhones anymore. The iPhone 13 mini is ideal! The only downside is the back-glass because I think it would be better if it was made from aluminum just like the 1st generation iPhone SE.
As a new iPhone 13 mini user (my very first iPhone) i couldn't have asked for anything more, i mean size is perfect for one-handed use as well as the battery life is good for it's size.
And one more thing is that, holding the phone and typing one hand is priceless..!! Been using my iPhone 11 for 2 years the weight and the size is killing me..! Finally this year the mini battery is upgraded..! Pretty much enough for my daily use..!
I think those +8h Screen On Time includes the hours before the overnight charge. For real usage you have to manually add each of those bars and divide the total minutes of SoT by 60 to get the real SoT starting from 6AM.
I have been waited for the smaller phone since years then finally replaced my iPhone XS by 13 mini. Its best phone i had ever, 5.4" is still big enough screen to write emails, posts on socials and watching YT videos or gaming. No more larger phone ever if possible. It lays in pocket perfectly no matter you're in work or on sport activities like running or biking, and completely no issues with battery working time - one day of very active up to two days when i am not using phone a lot.
Just got a 13 mini myself. Coming from an X this is much handier. Using Camera + for my very effective closeup needs. It tucks away in pockets and my gear much easier. All in all comparing to the Pro series this is much better for on the move and day to day use. The much lighter weight is also a big plus.
Shevon: I’m disappointed in my Mini because it only gets 8 1/2 hours of screen on time. Me: Runs to store to buy to iPhone 13 Mini. Seriously. These reviewers use their phones an insane amount of time. A few hours is all I honestly need. Thanks for this review.
Great video young man! Had a great time following you throughout your day. Pretty fascinating, definitely professional and up on your game! I'm getting my wife a new iPhone and was undecided between a 13 mini and 13. She currently has and likes the size of her iPhone 8. It seems that the 13 mini will be the best choice for her. Thanks for the great phone insights!
I think the battery is good enough for a full day, note that he is recording a lot (very battery intensive) also, i don’t use my phone much during working hours, so i guess i could have full battery day, not like my 11 pro which basically always makes it easy by sleep time. On the upside you get a comfortable phone, one hand operation, and you forgrt you have the phone in your pocket, you will only notice it if you need it, instead of a big slab begging to be picked up to be used.
13 mini is a brilliant phone. I can easily get a full day out of it. With taking about 10 to 15 pics and streaming Spotify at work and taking a video to two. I leave at 8am and can make it to 9pm before it’s under 10% But for a TH-camr who lives on their phone, filming in 4K constantly and taking many pics of course it wasn’t going to last not to mention on 5G the whole time
I went to store to check on mini. It's not that small it's perfect size and I love it. I thought of buying iPhone 12 but now I changed my mind! Great video bro..! I guess the battery life is much improved from last mini for sure.
I have the iPhone 13 mini and honestly loved it. I get around 8hrs Screen on time. It’s one handed usability is the best and coming from a 12 pro max it’s not bad at all. Great video man. Love the style, the vibes, as well as your honest opinions. Keep up the good work. All the way from Texas
hey shevon, I’m honestly not even here for the iPhone I’m just watching your daily stuff u do it’s really enjoyable I would like to see you upload more videos like this maybe vlogs twice a week 🙃
Very useful video, i loved how you really explained the pros and cons of this phone. I think for mildly busy people this phone would be perfect, for example I don’t use my phone to much during school and usually have 30% - 40% after school, and while i do homework i charge my phone and it lasts all day. Good overall phone and good overall video!
Everybody complains about battery life. All u need is a MagSafe power bank. I love the mini and can’t see myself going back to the bigger size phones. Great video brother ✌🏿
I've had my 13 mini for a week and I absolutely love it. I bought Product Red and it's stunning with the clear magsafe case. I don't want to go back to a large phone again.
I’m so pleased to hear how happy you are. The reviews seem very positive. I had an I phone 7 plus which was fantastic but I eventually went to an SE 2020. It too has been amazing. Tomorrow my new I phone mini arrives and I am not sure how I will go learning the swipe gestures. I’m so used to the home button. I’m old and not good with tech. Worst case is I send it back. Cheers from London
@@bar10ml44 Thanks for the comment. I think you will find the swipe method to be easy. A good idea would be to watch a couple of TH-cam tutorials on the basic functions of the phone. That's what I did. I hope you like the Mini. What colour did you order?
@@charlegoodwin982 Yes certainly. I still really love the phone, but if I am totally honest, I'm sometimes a bit disappointed with the battery life. That said, it might be because I have too many things running in the background. I need to study up on some battery saving tips. For example, my old Nokia 7 Plus can sit idle for almost a week. If I leave my 13 mini unplugged overnight, usually it's about dead in the morning. I might have a faulty battery? I'll see if I can get a battery test on the phone. The battery life is obviously one of the most important things about a phone, so this is a big one...but the size, feel, color and operation of the phone is great and I am really enjoying my move to Apple from Android. I think the biggest selling point about the mini, is the size. It is such a pleasure to deal with a small phone that slips easily into pockets. I still have the same opinion that after using loads of large phones such as Samsung notes etc, I prefer the small phone. The only thing that gets me thinking about a larger phone is the prospect of working away from home a lot, because rather than carrying an Ipad or Laptop, I would just use a Pro Max and watch Apple TV on it and surf the web on it in the evenings. That would be more tricky with the Mini, but since I'm at home a lot, I have access to a PC at home. I actually have a possible 8 month contract coming up, working away from home Mon to Fri. I'll see how I go with the Mini, but I'm open to swapping it for a Pro Max if I'm spending loads of time remotely. The extra batter will really make a difference. So my last bit of advice for those who really love the small phone, is to just go right ahead and buy it, but if you are away from home, you could use the magsafe battery that sticks to the back...or a non Apple one that also has magsafe, but a higher capacity. That's another option for me. Hope this helps.
I really like the fact that on Canoopsy's vid he had your video playing, whereas you also have his playing here, my favorite content creators showing love and support for each other, mad respect 👊👊
12 Mini user here.. Since I own an iPad 8th Gen, there's barely anything wrong with the Mini for just a casual use, at least for me.. Coming from a medium-sized Android phone, the Mini's battery is fine for me thanks to the A14 Bionic processor chip.
I’m impressed with the mini battery considering everything you did with it for 12 hours. I think its a solid phone with 12 hours of everyday battery use. Tempting phone. I need to go to Best Buy or somewhere and see it in person. Thanks for the video…
that guy in the tesla really compared the iphone 5 screen size to the iphone 13 mini, dude iphone 5 is like 4 inch vs the 13 mini 5.4 inches crazy times we live in
When you go to the battery section in the settings it will show you screen-on-time for the last 24 hours. So if you want to see how long your battery actually lasted, go to the screen time in the settings and click on DAY, and then you will see how many hours of screen time you got today.
I just hope that in like 2-3 years we will be having great comeback of mini versions. I would love to have smartfone with small size and battery like the ip14 or ip15.
I loved the 4S! It was the best design! But how could you use it up until now? Software support for that phone must have stopped years ago!?! Congrats to your mini though, got mine in red and 256GB yesterday. ☺️
@@noxnext Right on! Ya it was a pain, I'm 17, have a job but couldn't quite justify the purchase until a week ago. Forgot how awesome it is not waiting for the camera or notes to load!
my screen on time is around 4-5 hours a day in average, i think i will go for the mini this year to upgrade from my galaxy note 10. my last iphone was iphone 5s and I really miss the small form factor :)
I have the same phone and my battery lasts me all day, what I would recommend personally to put it on low power mode as soon as you wake up! It keeps apps from running in the background, it doesn’t update apps in the background, etc.
This thing easily is matching my old 11 pro and beating my 12 in battery life. I say it’s a great upgrade. I also get battery cases for my iPhones so I should be fine with this little baby. I think I’ll name her Tanya (I always name my iPhones)
Damnn thankyou so much I recently bought an iphone 13 and i wanted someone to like show me how good the camera is and you literally took the best of camera shots out there like thank you so much man
The Iphone 13 Mini is the phone for me. Probably the best phone I’ve had in awhile. It’s refreshing and fun. I would prefer to see smaller devices in the long run. Having to carry less weight is essential. Plus, having stuffed pockets while walking around may not be the best idea. Hope Apple will continue with the mini form factor, as an alternative for us who want to have a break from all these gargantuan phones. Sadly, This 13 mini will be the last of the breed. Shame on Apple for ending the Mini series. If Apple still want to continue with the mini, I think Apple should update the mini lineup every 2/3years.
honestly imagine if they properly optimised it and gave it a big battery. that would be perfect. good small phone that can do what other phones do take some normal photos and have a good processor and normal tasks but not for professional use. but with the battery of a pro max or something. i would genuinely purchase that because i use my phone a lot and need a good battery which is why i like the pro max but i would swap if the mini had a better battery tbh
Just ordered my 13 mini. Every phone has its pros and cons. Battery life is the compromise you make for the features and convenience. I went from the iPhone 5 to the original SE because I really didn’t want a larger phone. And while I do enjoy the screen size of the iPhone XR, I find it clumsy when trying to take pics, because I need to use two hands. I’m probably going to be using the 13 mini for the the next four years… probably until it becomes the new iPhone SE.
Great vid man! Here's an android user thinking on change to iphone, looking for reviews and day to day experience and your video helped me alot! Keep doing it man, appreciate it.
Nice video. I'm still using an iPhone 11. I'm a very heavy user and plan to upgrade to next year's iPhones but the 13 lineup looks really enticing. My 11 is only 2 years old so I'll continue to use it until next year's lineup releases Just some general information about my "heavy use" as described above. I play a mobile game which I could spend hours on in a day dependent on work and college. I have a feature which plays the game itself. This means I leave the phone on all night playing the game while charging it. After 2 years I'm at 76% battery health and I get about 2-3 hours of screen on time. I don't mind as I plug my phone into my portable charger when I'm not using it. I also charge it when I'm driving or studying. The battery rarely becomes a nuisance for me. The reason why I bought an 11 was because the 720p screen leads to great game performance even 2 years later it's still pretty solid. When I upgrade I'd hope to be able to continue to use my 11 for that game, mostly because burn in on oleds is such a massive issue for a user like me. I would destroy an oled screen in 5-6 months if I continuously played that game on it. I love my 11 but having a 720p screen on a smartphone in 2021 is definitely starting to stick out especially compared to my friend's newer androids and iPhones. And I would for sure love an oled for everything else I use my phone for, youtube, Crunchyroll etc
Great video thanks for posting this. It’s informative. I think the 13 mini is a great phone with nice improvements to battery life. But as you say in your own comment it’s not meant for someone like yourself. The mini is for someone who wants that same power but doesn’t need to use their phone all the time. But for someone who’s a heavy user as yourself, the bigger ones are for you. But super informative video thank you!
Im rocking 12 mini, I'm not addicted to social media and I play games on my desktop. I try to live in the present and the battery runs me all day no problem. I do watch yt a lot and texting.
8 hours of screen on time is amazing battery life, it's just since you're an extremely heavy user the battery life isn't good for you. But for the average use that uses their phone less intensively I think the battery will be plenty good enough.
I was kind of thinking that this whole time… I don’t think taking several different 4K videos, or using the camera so extensively in general on your way to work is “normal” usage.
I have the 13 mini and I love it! The battery was never an issue for me, because I always have it plugged in. In the car, at work on a battery pack, at home in the wall charger ect. Just always been a habit for me. Charge when I can. Even when I had the iPhone X. Which has excellent battery life. Ok bye.
I recently upgraded from a 6 to the 11, which is honestly too big for my hands also handling it is a bit of a pain. Battery life is the best part so far. Working a 9 to 5, I typically leave the office with 80%, but I think that’s it’s because it’s my personal driver so I don’t use it much during the day. Given that’s when I start to do some socials, calls, watching news, reading articles, playing music etc, it’s still pretty difficult for me to hit below 20% by midnight. Would have loved to get the 13 for the size as I wouldn’t have taken a big hit on battery.
I was really debating between the 12, the 13 and the 13 mini. I ended up with the regular white 13. I love it so far. Battery life is great. I can kill it in about 1 and a half days. Sometimes 2. I had the xs before this, and that was a great phone too. But it started lagging, and I knew that I needed to Get an upgrade. I got $200 off for it tho.I use it mainly with the brown (orange) leather case and a $5 magsafe wallet from 5 bellow. I use a clear case sometimes too. The new thing that I don't really like is the non removable Sim. It's a built in sim. So I can't just put it in another phone if I desire. Besides that, it's great.
I already got one it's perfect for me because I like small thing and it is easy to put it in pocket, for battery life it is fine for me because I don't spend much time on social media I just used it for work and study.
Well to be honest the 13 mini did perform well for its size up to 8hr screen on time is amazing. But it’s just not good enough for me based on my lifestyle.

Just got a 13 mini myself. Coming from an X this is much handier. Using Camera + for my very effective closeup needs. It tucks away in pockets and my gear much easier. All in all comparing to the Pro series this is much better for on the move and day to day use. The much lighter weight is also a big plus.
The lack of weight sold me, love it.
I watched the pro day in a life… both videos inspired me to be more productive brother. Bless up.
Shevon: I’m disappointed in my Mini because it only gets 8 1/2 hours of screen on time. Me: Runs to store to buy to iPhone 13 Mini. Seriously. These reviewers use their phones an insane amount of time. A few hours is all I honestly need. Thanks for this review.
Great video young man! Had a great time following you throughout your day. Pretty fascinating, definitely professional and up on your game! I'm getting my wife a new iPhone and was undecided between a 13 mini and 13. She currently has and likes the size of her iPhone 8. It seems that the 13 mini will be the best choice for her. Thanks for the great phone insights!
Curt, did you buy for her 13 mini? How is the review? Is she glad with its battery?
Yeah Curt, we’re all just DYING to know!
Back here after one year to know Curt 😢
aside everything, iphone minis give the best in hand feel of a phone. and they give the nostalgic feel of the iPhone 4 & 5s
I think the battery is good enough for a full day, note that he is recording a lot (very battery intensive) also, i don’t use my phone much during working hours, so i guess i could have full battery day, not like my 11 pro which basically always makes it easy by sleep time.
On the upside you get a comfortable phone, one hand operation, and you forgrt you have the phone in your pocket, you will only notice it if you need it, instead of a big slab begging to be picked up to be used.
13 mini is a brilliant phone. I can easily get a full day out of it. With taking about 10 to 15 pics and streaming Spotify at work and taking a video to two. I leave at 8am and can make it to 9pm before it’s under 10%
But for a TH-camr who lives on their phone, filming in 4K constantly and taking many pics of course it wasn’t going to last not to mention on 5G the whole time
I went to store to check on mini. It's not that small it's perfect size and I love it. I thought of buying iPhone 12 but now I changed my mind! Great video bro..! I guess the battery life is much improved from last mini for sure.
That’s true I pushed it to the limit and it surprised me
Which phone ur using now 🤔
@@Navinkumar-jn1rq yeah mate im so rich i decided to swap my $1200 iphone for another phone😅🤣. Jk of course.
I have the iPhone 13 mini and honestly loved it. I get around 8hrs Screen on time. It’s one handed usability is the best and coming from a 12 pro max it’s not bad at all. Great video man. Love the style, the vibes, as well as your honest opinions. Keep up the good work. All the way from Texas
hey shevon, I’m honestly not even here for the iPhone I’m just watching your daily stuff u do it’s really enjoyable I would like to see you upload more videos like this maybe vlogs twice a week 🙃
Very useful video, i loved how you really explained the pros and cons of this phone. I think for mildly busy people this phone would be perfect, for example I don’t use my phone to much during school and usually have 30% - 40% after school, and while i do homework i charge my phone and it lasts all day. Good overall phone and good overall video!
Everybody complains about battery life. All u need is a MagSafe power bank. I love the mini and can’t see myself going back to the bigger size phones. Great video brother ✌🏿
The whole point of the mini is the size….. “fixing” a problem by making it bigger isn’t a fix lol
@@carlosh9476 so true I would take a decrease in battery any day than go back to a big phone. That’s what my iPad Pro M1 is for 😉
Mini just seems too small for me, reading stuff on it would probably make me sick lol
Exactly, for the size, adding a MagSafe power bank won’t even be noticeable
@@carlosh9476 they should make it thicker gor battery not bigger.
12 was advertised as slimmest phone. This isn't 2015 when people need slim phones.
I've had my 13 mini for a week and I absolutely love it. I bought Product Red and it's stunning with the clear magsafe case. I don't want to go back to a large phone again.
I’m so pleased to hear how happy you are. The reviews seem very positive. I had an I phone 7 plus which was fantastic but I eventually went to an SE 2020. It too has been amazing. Tomorrow my new I phone mini arrives and I am not sure how I will go learning the swipe gestures. I’m so used to the home button. I’m old and not good with tech. Worst case is I send it back.
Cheers from London
@@bar10ml44 Thanks for the comment. I think you will find the swipe method to be easy. A good idea would be to watch a couple of TH-cam tutorials on the basic functions of the phone. That's what I did. I hope you like the Mini. What colour did you order?
Can we have an update? What’s it like now?
@@charlegoodwin982 Yes certainly. I still really love the phone, but if I am totally honest, I'm sometimes a bit disappointed with the battery life. That said, it might be because I have too many things running in the background. I need to study up on some battery saving tips.
For example, my old Nokia 7 Plus can sit idle for almost a week. If I leave my 13 mini unplugged overnight, usually it's about dead in the morning. I might have a faulty battery? I'll see if I can get a battery test on the phone.
The battery life is obviously one of the most important things about a phone, so this is a big one...but the size, feel, color and operation of the phone is great and I am really enjoying my move to Apple from Android.
I think the biggest selling point about the mini, is the size. It is such a pleasure to deal with a small phone that slips easily into pockets. I still have the same opinion that after using loads of large phones such as Samsung notes etc, I prefer the small phone.
The only thing that gets me thinking about a larger phone is the prospect of working away from home a lot, because rather than carrying an Ipad or Laptop, I would just use a Pro Max and watch Apple TV on it and surf the web on it in the evenings. That would be more tricky with the Mini, but since I'm at home a lot, I have access to a PC at home. I actually have a possible 8 month contract coming up, working away from home Mon to Fri. I'll see how I go with the Mini, but I'm open to swapping it for a Pro Max if I'm spending loads of time remotely. The extra batter will really make a difference.
So my last bit of advice for those who really love the small phone, is to just go right ahead and buy it, but if you are away from home, you could use the magsafe battery that sticks to the back...or a non Apple one that also has magsafe, but a higher capacity. That's another option for me. Hope this helps.
Yeah, good looking not good using. No, please
I really like the fact that on Canoopsy's vid he had your video playing, whereas you also have his playing here, my favorite content creators showing love and support for each other, mad respect 👊👊
The morning is such a beautiful moment in a day. Great video. Waiting for my 12 Mini to arrive today.
“Just doing normal shit.”
Hahah yes dude!
I’m glad to see you’ve grown steadily and broke 100k. Keep it up my guy!
12 Mini user here.. Since I own an iPad 8th Gen, there's barely anything wrong with the Mini for just a casual use, at least for me.. Coming from a medium-sized Android phone, the Mini's battery is fine for me thanks to the A14 Bionic processor chip.
A15 bionic .. not 14
@@user-zy6ol4kr5f For iPhone 12 Series bro, not 13
@@iwansevana6284 same I’m like you I have the 8th gen but the 13 mini
I’m impressed with the mini battery considering everything you did with it for 12 hours. I think its a solid phone with 12 hours of everyday battery use. Tempting phone. I need to go to Best Buy or somewhere and see it in person. Thanks for the video…
that guy in the tesla really compared the iphone 5 screen size to the iphone 13 mini, dude iphone 5 is like 4 inch vs the 13 mini 5.4 inches crazy times we live in
When you go to the battery section in the settings it will show you screen-on-time for the last 24 hours. So if you want to see how long your battery actually lasted, go to the screen time in the settings and click on DAY, and then you will see how many hours of screen time you got today.
I just hope that in like 2-3 years we will be having great comeback of mini versions. I would love to have smartfone with small size and battery like the ip14 or ip15.
I just upgraded from a 4s to a 12 mini, no complaints! I love it. Then again my standards would be lower with never owning crazy nice phones.
holy shit thats a crazy jump! nice choice 👍🏽
I loved the 4S! It was the best design! But how could you use it up until now? Software support for that phone must have stopped years ago!?! Congrats to your mini though, got mine in red and 256GB yesterday. ☺️
@@noxnext Right on! Ya it was a pain, I'm 17, have a job but couldn't quite justify the purchase until a week ago. Forgot how awesome it is not waiting for the camera or notes to load!
@@BugalooB
Then enjoy your new phone! ☺️👍 And take good care of it! 🍀
This is such a cute phone. Small handy phone, not bulky which looks like real cell phone and not an oversized phones
need more views nice editing smoth music just good
I mean it was just posted an hour ago
@@Albino.Monkey lol
@@Albino.Monkey God tier editing bro fr
One of the perfect compact mobile with satisfying battery life and better software.
my screen on time is around 4-5 hours a day in average, i think i will go for the mini this year to upgrade from my galaxy note 10. my last iphone was iphone 5s and I really miss the small form factor :)
Your content is legit and a masterpiece my guy! Hopefully one day I take a trip to Canada and meet! Respect fam! Keep it up and keep grinding!
I have the same phone and my battery lasts me all day, what I would recommend personally to put it on low power mode as soon as you wake up! It keeps apps from running in the background, it doesn’t update apps in the background, etc.

What did she win?
Here appreciating the quality and cinematography of this video
this vid is mad dope! Love your work bro, you can see the passion in the thoroughness of this review. Awesome man!!!
If someone is struggling with the battery then here are a few tips: turn off 5g, use it in dark mode, don't use the phone at max brightness
This thing easily is matching my old 11 pro and beating my 12 in battery life. I say it’s a great upgrade. I also get battery cases for my iPhones so I should be fine with this little baby. I think I’ll name her Tanya (I always name my iPhones)
The best review ever made! Respect from ROMANIA!
complaining about battery life while having max brightness all day is wild
And 5g and bluetooth on
Damnn thankyou so much I recently bought an iphone 13 and i wanted someone to like show me how good the camera is and you literally took the best of camera shots out there like thank you so much man
the galaxy fold can't even get half the screen on time. I think the mini with 8hrs with SOT is pretty great for such a small form factor
The quality is so good from the front camera, The mic is crisp too
On screen 8 hr, just get a MagSafe to get the extra battery required. My thoughts the mini is great for most people. Nice vid.
Exactly…..the battery ‘problem’ he has is so easily solved..not sure why he’s making such a big issue of it
What is magsafe
Fantastic practical review... well worth it !!...Thank you !!
Why I didn’t found him earlier 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻, he is dope
His videos are really good you see the effort
I recommend watching some of his old videos they are awesome
I do reallyyyy wanted the macro lens because it takes really good pics of flowers leaves etc…..
The Iphone 13 Mini is the phone for me. Probably the best phone I’ve had in awhile. It’s refreshing and fun. I would prefer to see smaller devices in the long run. Having to carry less weight is essential. Plus, having stuffed pockets while walking around may not be the best idea. Hope Apple will continue with the mini form factor, as an alternative for us who want to have a break from all these gargantuan phones. Sadly, This 13 mini will be the last of the breed. Shame on Apple for ending the Mini series. If Apple still want to continue with the mini, I think Apple should update the mini lineup every 2/3years.
bro you kiilin it with the content. Blessings my g
big up
honestly imagine if they properly optimised it and gave it a big battery. that would be perfect. good small phone that can do what other phones do take some normal photos and have a good processor and normal tasks but not for professional use. but with the battery of a pro max or something. i would genuinely purchase that because i use my phone a lot and need a good battery which is why i like the pro max but i would swap if the mini had a better battery tbh
Great music choices in your videos bro! Keep it up! 👍🏾
7-8 hours SOT more than enough for me..thanks,great video!
Your videos are so therapeutic. God bless you man❤️
Just ordered my 13 mini. Every phone has its pros and cons. Battery life is the compromise you make for the features and convenience.
I went from the iPhone 5 to the original SE because I really didn’t want a larger phone. And while I do enjoy the screen size of the iPhone XR, I find it clumsy when trying to take pics, because I need to use two hands.
I’m probably going to be using the 13 mini for the the next four years… probably until it becomes the new iPhone SE.
Do you get more than 6hrs with your 5G?
Great vid man! Here's an android user thinking on change to iphone, looking for reviews and day to day experience and your video helped me alot! Keep doing it man, appreciate it.
I was ready to get the mini until I'm reminded how much I want the macro photography capable camera in the pro. I'm going to try this out in the store

Best review of iphone 13 mini so far! Real and raw. Thanks! I'm sold! 💯😄😊
Nice video. I'm still using an iPhone 11. I'm a very heavy user and plan to upgrade to next year's iPhones but the 13 lineup looks really enticing. My 11 is only 2 years old so I'll continue to use it until next year's lineup releases
Just some general information about my "heavy use" as described above. I play a mobile game which I could spend hours on in a day dependent on work and college. I have a feature which plays the game itself. This means I leave the phone on all night playing the game while charging it. After 2 years I'm at 76% battery health and I get about 2-3 hours of screen on time. I don't mind as I plug my phone into my portable charger when I'm not using it. I also charge it when I'm driving or studying. The battery rarely becomes a nuisance for me.
The reason why I bought an 11 was because the 720p screen leads to great game performance even 2 years later it's still pretty solid. When I upgrade I'd hope to be able to continue to use my 11 for that game, mostly because burn in on oleds is such a massive issue for a user like me. I would destroy an oled screen in 5-6 months if I continuously played that game on it. I love my 11 but having a 720p screen on a smartphone in 2021 is definitely starting to stick out especially compared to my friend's newer androids and iPhones. And I would for sure love an oled for everything else I use my phone for, youtube, Crunchyroll etc
Great video... real world example of daily usage, battery life, and quality! Thanks for creating this super helpful piece of content!
Great video thanks for posting this. It’s informative. I think the 13 mini is a great phone with nice improvements to battery life. But as you say in your own comment it’s not meant for someone like yourself. The mini is for someone who wants that same power but doesn’t need to use their phone all the time. But for someone who’s a heavy user as yourself, the bigger ones are for you. But super informative video thank you!
High quality video bro, I’m brazilian and I always watch your videos. Straight up ⬆️
His voice is so calming
Im rocking 12 mini, I'm not addicted to social media and I play games on my desktop. I try to live in the present and the battery runs me all day no problem. I do watch yt a lot and texting.
8 hours of screen on time is amazing battery life, it's just since you're an extremely heavy user the battery life isn't good for you. But for the average use that uses their phone less intensively I think the battery will be plenty good enough.
I was kind of thinking that this whole time… I don’t think taking several different 4K videos, or using the camera so extensively in general on your way to work is “normal” usage.
That’s so true I feel like average users will make it through the day
Been waiting for this 😊
Cara, esse vídeo é maravilhoso! Já assisti ele mil vezes e contando. 😎🇧🇷
haha, same
Shevon, the thing is that you use a lot of social media, and the battery life doesn't last long
It would be great if Apple make the smallest variant with a 5.8" screen, a pro with 6.1" and a pro max the largest.
Your video is a real test and in real time. Nice shots ! thanks for your great one !! :)
I love my 13 mini
this productions quality is amazing
I have the 13 mini and I love it! The battery was never an issue for me, because I always have it plugged in. In the car, at work on a battery pack, at home in the wall charger ect. Just always been a habit for me. Charge when I can. Even when I had the iPhone X. Which has excellent battery life. Ok bye.
Thats a good way to destroy the batterylife.
the most honest review I've seen on the iphone 13 mini. good video champion. you won a subscriber
I recently upgraded from a 6 to the 11, which is honestly too big for my hands also handling it is a bit of a pain.
Battery life is the best part so far. Working a 9 to 5, I typically leave the office with 80%, but I think that’s it’s because it’s my personal driver so I don’t use it much during the day.
Given that’s when I start to do some socials, calls, watching news, reading articles, playing music etc, it’s still pretty difficult for me to hit below 20% by midnight.
Would have loved to get the 13 for the size as I wouldn’t have taken a big hit on battery.
Your day in the life videos are the greatest!!❤
I was really debating between the 12, the 13 and the 13 mini. I ended up with the regular white 13. I love it so far. Battery life is great. I can kill it in about 1 and a half days. Sometimes 2. I had the xs before this, and that was a great phone too. But it started lagging, and I knew that I needed to Get an upgrade. I got $200 off for it tho.I use it mainly with the brown (orange) leather case and a $5 magsafe wallet from 5 bellow. I use a clear case sometimes too. The new thing that I don't really like is the non removable Sim. It's a built in sim. So I can't just put it in another phone if I desire. Besides that, it's great.
I already got one it's perfect for me because I like small thing and it is easy to put it in pocket, for battery life it is fine for me because I don't spend much time on social media I just used it for work and study.
Me watching this on the iPhone 13 mini
Just earned a subscriber with this video. Extremely well done.
Everyone else: The battery life isn't enough on this phone!
Me: Ever heard of a portable external battery, dopes?!! Problem solved right there.
