First of all, love your videos. I got mine from my carrier 6 days ago. I got the 512Gb. My daughter said I upgraded and downgraded at the same time. Very much so upgrading from my current iPhone 12 128Gb and only downgrading to a smaller screen. But, I am happy as it’s more pocketable & easier & lighter to hold & to reply messages. I can reach the whole phone with my thumb. Yes, a hit on the battery life, I notice it. But, I carry a small charger & portable battery pack, so no issues there. Overall I am happy with my iPhone 13 Mini. Love from Malaysia.
Recently upgraded from the SE 2020 and it is quite simply the best phone I have ever owned. Great camera, incredible form factor, nice screen and works so well with the accessories such as MagSafe Wallet (I credit you for this purchase!) and MagSafe battery pack. I don't think I will get a bigger phone than this in the future- it fits every situation perfectly.
using since march, not going upgrade, loves the most about compact phone and cameras since iphone 13 series share same sensors between pro series (but without the macro lens). and the most important are this phone can slip into my pen case for tactical cheating (don't try this kids)

@@Dec4AllTimeAlways Had the same initial thoughts, but just use it a few more weeks and all your complaints will turn away. After some years now, I actually MUCH prefer Face ID over Touch ID, and prefer using the gestures over a home button.
It was coming across your video is why I decided to buy it. And honestly, I was very wary about the size, but the size is actually what makes it amazing. I don't think, I could ever go back to a larger phone. I bought mine exactly a year after its release, and I think I will keep it for years.
I absolutely loved my 5, which I then replaced with a 2016 SE. Got obsessed with bigger screens and bought an XR in 2019. Now its time to go back to the good old days so I purchased a 13 mini which should arrive this week. Cant wait tbh
I bought one when they dropped the price in the US to $599. I actually traded in the SE 2020 and got the phone for $450. I think this is the best value iPhone Apple is selling in 2022. Battery lasts me all day and I really like the small form factor. For my work phone I use the larger iPhone 13 because the larger screen allows me to view more data.
I love my 13 Mini, never had this issue of heating up and the battery in my daily use has only got to 10% once, most days when I retire it's still around the 50% mark. Excellent phone, perfect size for the pocket and single handed use. Looking forward to a good few years of ownership.

Just purchased the 13 mini going from the 11. This phone is great. The 11 was just too big to navigate with one hand and was a bit frustrating. The size of this phone was the biggest selling point for me. It reminds me of the older phones like the 4 and 5 when compact phones were popular and also convenient.
@@pangpang2315 the battery is a lot better than I thought it would be. I can use it pretty much all day (social media, email, some TH-cam, texting ) and won’t have to charge it really until the next day. It’s definitely a good improvement as long as you don’t use it extensively like making a ton of videos or watching movies all day
I have had my iPhone mini for about two months now and I upgraded from an iPhone 11. Best decision I made at the time when I was considering the 13 series vs 14. Don’t hesitate there is so much more value and the performance is all there. I would recommend this phone if you are the type of person who doesn’t want to miss out any of the standard flagship features in a phone out now today but appreciates the convenience in form factor, and one handed usability. Adjusting to a smaller screen size didn’t outweigh the fact that the oled panel looks so much more rich in color in terms of consuming content and recording video from this phone it feels very natural. The iPhone 5s was my favorite iPhone of all time and this phone just feels like a spirited successor. Happy new year to anyone this helps!
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.
I got mine a month ago, shortly before spending 3 weeks abroad. It's been a great travel companion. The cameras are amazing, the battery life is good (I only felt the need to charge up before the end of the day 2 or 3 times in 3 weeks of sightseeing!), and the one-handed usability was priceless while navigating around unfamiliar places with my luggage or hiking in spots when I needed my other hand for support. Without a doubt, my favorite smartphone to date. I'm very sad Apple has chosen not to continue the model.
I got mine 2 days ago. Decided to give it a try, especially, that I can return it and change it for 14. The reason was portability. I have missed so many great moments while running and not having my phone with me (12) to snap a picture. Now, after 2 days usage, I am starting to fall for that phone. Each time I pick up the 12 (company phone) the screen seems to be HUGE, and each time I use the 12 with one hand it's like an elaborated gymnastics. Still have 10 days to change my mind, yet probably will stay with the mini. Oh, there is one more reason. I stream apple music that cannot be used on my Garmin, hence I will be able to do it with the Mini in my pocket:)
Great Video Mark. Your videos on the are so good, I just purchased an iPhone 13 Mini to replace my mothers iPhone 7. It should be the perfect phone for her. Thanks for all of these great video because I would have probably never considered this an option for her phone.
Regarding the size of the 13 Mini being too small for some things, there’s a pretty good compromise. Get an iPad Mini 6 alongside your iPhone mini for the best of both worlds. A tiny, awesome one handed phone and a large (but still convenient) screen that dwarfs even max iPhones and has split view app functionality. Bonus points of you get a cellular iPad mini.
I love my iPhone 13 mini! I bought this in Oct 2022, and I wanted to comment about the heating-up issues, the only time my phone is a little hot is when I am charging it. But, I also discovered that when the phone gets too hot while charging, the system will detect it and notify that it will stop charging until it cools down. So, it is fantastic; I love this phone to bits!
I have a 13 mini and an iPad mini 6 and love them both. The 13 mini is so light sometimes I forget it is in my pocket and a joy to use one handed. I feel Apple made a mistake by bringing out the mini too soon, the 12 mini sold like trash and gave the mini a bad name due to its battery life. The 13 mini is much better and gets me thru the day no problems.
I have the iphone 13 mini for almost a year and I agree it's amazing. Interesting I don't have any issues with the battery life, and get around 1.5 day use. I love the ability to maneuver and flip it in my hand so easily. The only downside I can think of is the camera doesn't have a long range zoom, like the iPhone 13 and 14 Pro.
Just got my 13 mini delivered via UPS yesterday! Needed to upgrade from my OG SE 2016 as Apple has announced it is no longer supporting updates, unfortunately.
I updated from SE 2020 to this. Blown away. Still as a former owner of a Nokia Pureview 808 10 years old. The 13 mini can't beat it in pure quality of picture. Side by side i tested it. But it can deliver at any condition. I would have go to a iphone 14 pro because it matches the pureview but i realized that price depreciation don't worth all that money for a slightly better picture and a zoom. Better buy a good compact camera instead and keep it running a decade at least
I’m using 13 mini since November 2021 and considering to buy another one for later till it’s still available for purchase. Never had complaints about battery life. It’s very good for such a small phone. After 12 hours it still have 30-40% left.
I love mine. It's so pocketable which is really one of the most important features for me. Upgraded from the SE 2 and love the bezel free look. Hoping the new SE will switch to this form factor when I eventually need to upgrade. Battery is good enough for me but I'm mostly near an outlet on WiFi. Heavy 4G use will lower the battery but it pairs nicely with a battery pack. I got the Zendure SuperMini Go you plugged which I love. Also, a fan of the MagSafe Wallet.
I bought an iPhone 14 Plus, used it for a few months and then switched back to my much loved 13 Mini. My 14 Plus will just be used as an at home camera and the 13 Mini is back to being my daily driver. I really wish a 14 Mini would have happened or a 14 Mini Pro. For the record, I’m a longtime iPhone user and have owned every model and size of iPhone ever made and the 13 Mini is my absolute favorite of them all.
I use my phone less with the mini. The battery is just good enough to say its not bad. One thing that i dont really like is the small keyboard.. its hard to type compared to other phones.
I have a 2016 iPhone SE first generation. And it did software upgrades until last month. absolutely love ❤it and was waiting for a small new version of iPhone. Definitely going for it next Monday.
As an owner of one, it’s a great upgrade from an se2, and a good value for getting what is still technically the latest from apple when you look at the regular 14 series
I currently have the SE2 and want to upgrade to the 13 Mini like you did. My biggest concerns are the notch and Face ID. How did you adjust to these? Any cons to the upgrade?
@@MARTINRIGGSS I have had issues with all fingerprint sensors (galaxy note8, pixel 3a, iPhone 6s, iPhone se2. Face ID is so fast I tap and swipe up and it’s unlocked. Only downside Id say is the screen is a little more of a reach to touch the corners, but I’d easily buy the 13 mini 3x over and I genuinely recommend the upgrade if you want some more features
I'd like for them to keep the mini design for the future SE phones. SE makes a good first phone for young people. They would not need the latest processor or camera updates. I've paired my iPhone Mini with a iPad mini so my iPad is my media/game device while my iPhone Mini is my walk around phone outside of the house.
I switched from the 2016 se to the 13 mini a few days ago, and it’s been amazing. Literally everything is better, and honestly, one of the things I noticed most was the haptics, followed by Face ID, which is so insanely fast it genuinely feels like I don’t have a password. My one complaint is a better of a weird one- it actually feels to big. Don’t get me wrong, it’s way better than a full sized iPhone, but I expected it to be smaller. Even though it’s only a few millimetres bigger than the 2016 se, the fact that the screen covers the whole phone makes it feel way bigger, to the point where I sometimes struggle with one handed use. It might also be that I’m just not used to the bigger screen yet, so I’ll maybe update this comment in a week or two to talk about any changes in my experience.
Your description nails my experience too. I have been using my 13 Mini for almost a year now. It's a good phone, but OGSE is the best size in my opinion too. As you touched on, I think bezeless design is a stupid concept. Bezels offer reasonable space for people to put their fingers. These spaces could be utilised with front facing speakers which are great too (This was done half a decade ago) but they're preferencing visual aesthetics which is a real shame. I switched back to my OGSE for about a month and a half in 2022 and It performed pretty well. It holds up. The only reasons I switched back to the 13 Mini was the lack of fast charging and the 13 Mini camera is great, (specifically night mode). I am honestly tempted to go back to my OGSE very often. I love that phone. I am a tech nerd to some extent, but at the same time I am primitive too and hesitant to adopt some technology trends. I do not use mag safe on my iphone. I do not have a wireless charger in my residence. One thing that I had not realised that I had become very reliant on is fast charging. When I swiched back to my old OGSE, charging speed became very very very apparent to me. I do love the OGSE. It is the best phone I have ever owned but fast charging has become very important to me and that alone and warranted my continued use of my 13 Mini. Camera quality was a factor too but it was minimal.
@@coxxycabee I too, would love for the bezels to come back! a modern se 2016 copy would be great! I currently have a 12 mini, but I do miss the home button too
I got my mini in February 2022. I absolutely love this phone! So convenient and easy to put in your pockets and small bags. I don’t feel the need to use such a big phone My only complaint- so difficult to find cute cases. Pop sockets feel huge on the mini, tried the loopy case too and same thing. Marshall’s and TJ Maxx don’t carry cases for the mini, neither does Target.
Love my 13 mini. Best phone I’ve ever had! Keeping it until it is no longer supported and then hopefully switching to the future SE using the same form factor.
I still rocking my 12 mini hoping that apple will release the mini as the new iPhone SE in the future. Until that, magsafe battery pack solve my only problem with 12 mini
Thank you for showing a such lovely Montreal s picture ! I recognize the street and the corner! I have an Iphone mini 12 and I find it as good as the 13.
Just upgraded from the XS to a mint condition Product Red 13 Mini. I knew I was swapping my XS this year, as it's about to lose the latest iOS, but its battery health (or lack of it) hastened the upgrade. Using a bumper and MagSafe grip - not a fan of full cases - and have already got myself quite a few MagSafe accessories. These include a portable charging stand that I can use on the go, and to trigger Standby Mode when I'm home. This 'Mini' iPhone has the same footprint as my iPhone 7 - how times have changed. Thanks for the content.
I know what you feel about the size! I switched from 12 mini to 13 pro max and still missing that handy little 12 mini! Sure, battery is much better in 13 pro max, refresh rate too, but that’s all. Pls, apple, I’m waiting for 15 mini.
As for the iPhone 13mini it heats up if your charger is not original Apple. I experienced that issue now. When I plugged my old original charger it seized heating up. No other iPhone did this. My girlfriend’s iPhone 12 Pro works fine on the non original charger.
Excellent review revisiting the iPhone 13 mini! I've got two questions: 1. How is the typing experience on the iPhone 13 mini, with its more compact onscreen keyboard? 2. How is it like when used for navigation i.e. using Waze or Google Maps? Does the maps and icons appear to be too small compared to the maps on the regular iPhone 13 or Pro Maxes? Thanks.
Hey, I had an iPhone 14 Pro Max and switched to the iPhone 13 mini because the pro max was simply too big. I’m a computer science engineering student and I realized that the main benefits (Better cameras, bigger screen, and 120hz) were so very underutilized from me it was actually a liability to me because of it’s size. On the mini, everything works flawlessly. The keyboard is a bit smaller so it’s a short adjustment period if you’re coming from a big phone but after a day it’s VERY manageable (especially easier to adjust if you’re coming from a larger iPhone instead of android). Same with navigation and media consumption apps. If you’re used to a big screen it will admittedly take an adjustment period, but you’ll never be directly hindered or unable to see something because of the size. If you’re older and are sensitive to smaller texts it can be a bit more difficult because a larger font affects the phone much more on the mini than it would to a regular or max. I’d only 100% recommend you to get one in your hands for a couple days and see how you like it. I had my mind made up and had NO intention on going back to a big phone, but the smaller screen can maybe be a deal breaker (not likely though, as the screen is not as small as it may seem). Like I mentioned, my studies and daily life has no need for a larger phones benefits, and the smaller size is a greater benefit than you could ever imagine. Hope this helps.
I wanted to buy iPhone mini but was skeptical about the battery , after watching your videos I went for it 6 months back I could not be more happy with it. Thank you My only issue is with the Notch 😄😄
Hello Mark thanks for the video, I just have one question... 13 mini use the same camera as the 13? I mean somewhere I read that the aperture and other lenses related features are different. Could you go deep in this? btw I am taking mine this month but still deciding 13 or 13 mini...
I jumped at the 12 mini, upgraded to the 13 mini and have no interest in it's bigger brothers. Love the mini, I'll use it until it dies or until the se takes it's form. Fantastic for people that use their phone as just a phone!
I’ve had my mini since mid July of this year, I payed $700 for it brand new and I absolutely adore it! My favorite phone I’ve ever owned! I LOVE the camera with this phone, best one I’ve ever had.
Love my iPhone 13 mini ……it’s perfect for my pocket and my handbag …..I use an iPad at home for Netflix or TH-cam, for all media consumption…so the 13 Mini …basically serves as my Camera calls and messages on the on …..if you need to use your phone for all your media consumption you will need a bigger screen and battery …otherwise I found this little phone perfection
I bought the Mini based on your previous video. I have massive hands and I have dropped it so many times but I do love it but.... I want to do journalling on an app and the phone is just too small so upgrading to either the 14 or 14 Plus. I do have to give it a quick charge most nights but it charges quickly.
I love mine. Almost complete compact phone, nice camera, nice battery for normal usage, the size so nice to put it in my pocket, easy to carry it everywhere. Love it.
Don’t HAVE to use the latest device, can still review the newest devices and keep them around for videos, but continue to use a phone you truly love. I appreciate the look back on the best phone Apple has ever made (in my opinion).
I do really, mate - that's how I draw attention to my brand. I also need to use those latest devices to keep up to speed with what's going on. I'm not getting rid of that mini any time soon, though!
Been running on a iPhone SE 2016 for about 2 to 3 years now, moving 'back' to it from an iPhone 8 Plus, I just had it replaced by T-mobile. I love the size, but I understand that it will slowly be phased out, no more updates and I have noticed some sluggish network issues. So moving to the 12 mini over the older first gen SE would be good for me, as far as battery, the SE last me all day, but I do carry a battery pack designed for the iPhone. I think I will make the move to the 12 mini based on price, if I can find a 13 mini, better, definitely not moving to the 14, don't like the new SIM design.
I have a 13 mini and had a few issues after iOS 16. My camera app lags when taking pictures it also excessively heats up my phone. Also my phone heats up with normal tasks. And at 91% maximum capacity the battery is starting to drain a bit faster I can go from 90% to 79% in under an hour, the phone has been stuttering I don't know why. Kinda makes me feel like i have my iPhone 7 all over again, wish I got a white 13 mini ( I got red ) but that was on me
I bought the 13 mini based on your previous video on how great the mini is. And you were right it is a great phone. I bought the 14 Pro and wow it’s so heavy and because of the cameras Its top heavy and not a great gym phone. But you’re correct the 14 Pro has so many features, battery life, display and camera. I have 10 days to decide to return the 14 Pro
Mark-another fantastic video. I have the 13 mini and was very much looking forward to this detailed review. The 13 mini has been my favorite iPhone. I had the 12 mini but as you said that was inferior with the battery, camera and the chip. 13 mini has the same chip as those 14's and it is impressive. Like you said the 13 mini battery is for single day use and for the casual user. The heavy user will see the battery could last up to 12 hour or a bit more but not a full day.

My favourite phone. I went from iPhone 11 to iPhone 13 mini. The iPhone 11 was too big and heavy for me. Can’t sit without taking it out of my pocket or use it with one hand. You must check the battery because I have upgraded again to an iPhone 13 mini I had a year ago to another iPhone 13 mini and my new mini battery does not last as long as on my old one. Could also be the new IOS updates. Can’t be the settings as my old settings transferred to the new one.
I had the se forever it finally stopped alltogether, got the iphone 13 mini and have dropped it 9 times in 2 days: ( I cannot wait for my rugged case to arrive
How is call quality on the iPhone 13mini? Please let me know. I have the iPhone XR and was wondering the best value overall for my next iPhone if anyone can give me a recommendation. Thanks.
I use a OnePlus 8T as my daily phone, and I love it--fast charging, all day battery life. I'm debating between getting iPhone 13 mini and Pixel 7, although I really like the form factor of the iPhone 13 mini because I like smaller phones. Which would you choose????
It's funny that the screen is considered so small when it is larger than the original Galaxy Note. :) I'll probably get a Mini eventually, I'm still holding out on the original SE!
The only situation I know that can make my iPhone mini reliably heat up uncomfortably is when I’m trying to use data when my phone has low signal. Typically, putting the phone in aeroplane mode cools it down quite fast.
Actually the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 14 have an A15 Bionic with one GPU core more, so it is not the exact same chip. But it is not that important for daily life... I have an iPhone 13 mini as well and I can recommend it, indeed. The battery for me is easy a day and I can push it to two, if there is a need for...
Hands-up if you're still rocking an iPhone 13 mini! And, if so, what's your favourite thing about it?
First of all, love your videos. I got mine from my carrier 6 days ago. I got the 512Gb. My daughter said I upgraded and downgraded at the same time. Very much so upgrading from my current iPhone 12 128Gb and only downgrading to a smaller screen. But, I am happy as it’s more pocketable & easier & lighter to hold & to reply messages. I can reach the whole phone with my thumb. Yes, a hit on the battery life, I notice it. But, I carry a small charger & portable battery pack, so no issues there. Overall I am happy with my iPhone 13 Mini. Love from Malaysia.
Recently upgraded from the SE 2020 and it is quite simply the best phone I have ever owned. Great camera, incredible form factor, nice screen and works so well with the accessories such as MagSafe Wallet (I credit you for this purchase!) and MagSafe battery pack. I don't think I will get a bigger phone than this in the future- it fits every situation perfectly.
@@ZaizalmoharZainun Thank you!
using since march, not going upgrade, loves the most about compact phone and cameras since iphone 13 series share same sensors between pro series (but without the macro lens). and the most important are this phone can slip into my pen case for tactical cheating (don't try this kids)
I have one as a secondary iPhone to my 14 Pro Max.I like both form factors to be honest.
Having bought the 13 mini a month ago, I would say yes. Worth it. The pocketability is it’s best feature.

I use them both daily as the SE1 is used as an iPod for more convenient wired headphones listening. No need to charge wireless earbuds. Battery life lasts much longer using wired.
I still prefer my Flip 3, Razr 5G, and Pixel 3 over them because I'm an Android guy but SE 1 & 3 are only two iPhones I will ever need until Apple brings back Touch ID or anything with fingerprint security.

@@june3149 He went hardcore trying to justify his trash phone with 2001 bezels 🤣 He's still trying to convince himself of his purchase
@@Dec4AllTimeAlways Had the same initial thoughts, but just use it a few more weeks and all your complaints will turn away. After some years now, I actually MUCH prefer Face ID over Touch ID, and prefer using the gestures over a home button.
It was coming across your video is why I decided to buy it. And honestly, I was very wary about the size, but the size is actually what makes it amazing. I don't think, I could ever go back to a larger phone. I bought mine exactly a year after its release, and I think I will keep it for years.
I absolutely loved my 5, which I then replaced with a 2016 SE. Got obsessed with bigger screens and bought an XR in 2019. Now its time to go back to the good old days so I purchased a 13 mini which should arrive this week. Cant wait tbh
I bought one when they dropped the price in the US to $599. I actually traded in the SE 2020 and got the phone for $450. I think this is the best value iPhone Apple is selling in 2022. Battery lasts me all day and I really like the small form factor. For my work phone I use the larger iPhone 13 because the larger screen allows me to view more data.
Did you adjust well to no home button?
I just jumped from 6s to 13mini . Always wanted a smaller phone to hold in one hand and with a wallet . So far so good .
So cool !!
I love my 13 Mini, never had this issue of heating up and the battery in my daily use has only got to 10% once, most days when I retire it's still around the 50% mark. Excellent phone, perfect size for the pocket and single handed use. Looking forward to a good few years of ownership.

I've been offered from AT&T to get an iPhone 12 mini for $1 per month for the next 36 months if I sign up for an unlimited plan. No thank you. Sold my 12 mini and zero regrets.
I really hated when I would type and it would accidentally close because the space bar is right above the gesture line. Certain games require a swipe up gesture. And my Pixel 3 took better photos than the 12 mini.
I guess SE 3 will be the last to have Touch ID, home button, and sim tray to avoid that e-sim nonsense when you want to switch phones a lot. Apple will not bring back a fingerprint security in the foreseeable future. Truly a Special Edition while the X fooled the world that Face ID, gesture swipes, and a notch was good for us.
The SE 4 will give us more overrated bezel-less crap. More inconvenience with Face ID that you end up inputting your passcode more than half of the time. More inconvenience using a swipe up gesture which can accidentally close apps. A notch that will get in the way viewing content or a simple battery %.
Love my iPhone SE 2022. The last great iPhone before more brainless sheeple think Face ID, touch gestures, a hideous notch, and e-sim only are better for us when they aren't and never will be.
Two best iPhones ever made

Just purchased the 13 mini going from the 11. This phone is great. The 11 was just too big to navigate with one hand and was a bit frustrating. The size of this phone was the biggest selling point for me. It reminds me of the older phones like the 4 and 5 when compact phones were popular and also convenient.
How the battery feels like? Im considering upgrade from the 11 to 13 mini but too skeptical about the battery
@@pangpang2315 the battery is a lot better than I thought it would be. I can use it pretty much all day (social media, email, some TH-cam, texting ) and won’t have to charge it really until the next day. It’s definitely a good improvement as long as you don’t use it extensively like making a ton of videos or watching movies all day
Do you miss the telephoto?
Definitely saving up to get the 13 mini for christmas its the only one that spoke to me
I had an iPhone 12 and ended up getting the 14 Pro but a part of me really wishes I had the 13 Mini instead. You'll enjoy using it I'm sure. 😊
I have had my iPhone mini for about two months now and I upgraded from an iPhone 11.
Best decision I made at the time when I was considering the 13 series vs 14. Don’t hesitate there is so much more value and the performance is all there.
I would recommend this phone if you are the type of person who doesn’t want to miss out any of the standard flagship features in a phone out now today but appreciates the convenience in form factor, and one handed usability.
Adjusting to a smaller screen size didn’t outweigh the fact that the oled panel looks so much more rich in color in terms of consuming content and recording video from this phone it feels very natural.
The iPhone 5s was my favorite iPhone of all time and this phone just feels like a spirited successor.
Happy new year to anyone this helps!
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 love it, feels like a pro because it seems as if cameras were giant haha, and the battery is amazing mine is 86% bh and last all day
I got mine a month ago, shortly before spending 3 weeks abroad. It's been a great travel companion. The cameras are amazing, the battery life is good (I only felt the need to charge up before the end of the day 2 or 3 times in 3 weeks of sightseeing!), and the one-handed usability was priceless while navigating around unfamiliar places with my luggage or hiking in spots when I needed my other hand for support. Without a doubt, my favorite smartphone to date. I'm very sad Apple has chosen not to continue the model.
What a great review. I have the iphone 13 mini and the ipad mini 6 and I am so thrilled. I think is the perfect combination. Love your videos ❤
I love this comment!
I got mine 2 days ago. Decided to give it a try, especially, that I can return it and change it for 14. The reason was portability. I have missed so many great moments while running and not having my phone with me (12) to snap a picture. Now, after 2 days usage, I am starting to fall for that phone. Each time I pick up the 12 (company phone) the screen seems to be HUGE, and each time I use the 12 with one hand it's like an elaborated gymnastics. Still have 10 days to change my mind, yet probably will stay with the mini. Oh, there is one more reason. I stream apple music that cannot be used on my Garmin, hence I will be able to do it with the Mini in my pocket:)
Great Video Mark. Your videos on the are so good, I just purchased an iPhone 13 Mini to replace my mothers iPhone 7. It should be the perfect phone for her. Thanks for all of these great video because I would have probably never considered this an option for her phone.
Glad to be of service!
I bought one a week ago. It is exactly the phone i’ve been wanting since the 5s
Regarding the size of the 13 Mini being too small for some things, there’s a pretty good compromise. Get an iPad Mini 6 alongside your iPhone mini for the best of both worlds. A tiny, awesome one handed phone and a large (but still convenient) screen that dwarfs even max iPhones and has split view app functionality. Bonus points of you get a cellular iPad mini.
I love my iPhone 13 mini! I bought this in Oct 2022, and I wanted to comment about the heating-up issues, the only time my phone is a little hot is when I am charging it. But, I also discovered that when the phone gets too hot while charging, the system will detect it and notify that it will stop charging until it cools down. So, it is fantastic; I love this phone to bits!
I have a 13 mini and an iPad mini 6 and love them both. The 13 mini is so light sometimes I forget it is in my pocket and a joy to use one handed. I feel Apple made a mistake by bringing out the mini too soon, the 12 mini sold like trash and gave the mini a bad name due to its battery life. The 13 mini is much better and gets me thru the day no problems.
Yup it’s incredibly awesome…
I have the iphone 13 mini for almost a year and I agree it's amazing. Interesting I don't have any issues with the battery life, and get around 1.5 day use. I love the ability to maneuver and flip it in my hand so easily. The only downside I can think of is the camera doesn't have a long range zoom, like the iPhone 13 and 14 Pro.
Wait like the 13 or 13 pro? I thought the camera was exactly the same as the 13 not 13 pro
@@jcap8391 13 Pro** good catch
Got my mini 3 months ago and it’s my favorite iPhone to date. One handed action is thrilling😂 Fits my pocket easily with no weight.
Just got my 13 mini delivered via UPS yesterday! Needed to upgrade from my OG SE 2016 as Apple has announced it is no longer supporting updates, unfortunately.
Still carrying and loving mine. I have the magsafe card wallet and really like the ergonomics with the wallet on the back.
I updated from SE 2020 to this. Blown away. Still as a former owner of a Nokia Pureview 808 10 years old. The 13 mini can't beat it in pure quality of picture. Side by side i tested it. But it can deliver at any condition. I would have go to a iphone 14 pro because it matches the pureview but i realized that price depreciation don't worth all that money for a slightly better picture and a zoom. Better buy a good compact camera instead and keep it running a decade at least
I’m using 13 mini since November 2021 and considering to buy another one for later till it’s still available for purchase. Never had complaints about battery life. It’s very good for such a small phone. After 12 hours it still have 30-40% left.

Mini perfect size….easy in/out of pocket and one handed for nearly all features
I love mine. It's so pocketable which is really one of the most important features for me. Upgraded from the SE 2 and love the bezel free look. Hoping the new SE will switch to this form factor when I eventually need to upgrade. Battery is good enough for me but I'm mostly near an outlet on WiFi. Heavy 4G use will lower the battery but it pairs nicely with a battery pack. I got the Zendure SuperMini Go you plugged which I love. Also, a fan of the MagSafe Wallet.
I bought an iPhone 14 Plus, used it for a few months and then switched back to my much loved 13 Mini.
My 14 Plus will just be used as an at home camera and the 13 Mini is back to being my daily driver.
I really wish a 14 Mini would have happened or a 14 Mini Pro.
For the record, I’m a longtime iPhone user and have owned every model and size of iPhone ever made and the 13 Mini is my absolute favorite of them all.
I'm about to get one. Can't wait. I've not been this excited about a phone since I got the 4S!! Been an android user since then.
I use my phone less with the mini. The battery is just good enough to say its not bad. One thing that i dont really like is the small keyboard.. its hard to type compared to other phones.
7 plus here, buying iphone 13 mini tomorrow because of this video. Thank you, I appreciate you, subscribed!
Thanks! And welcome onboard!
I have a 2016 iPhone SE first generation. And it did software upgrades until last month. absolutely love ❤it and was waiting for a small new version of iPhone. Definitely going for it next Monday.
Jumped from iphone 8 to 13 mini --- I have been using it since March.... best phone I ever had, I really like that size -- mini size but full of power
As an owner of one, it’s a great upgrade from an se2, and a good value for getting what is still technically the latest from apple when you look at the regular 14 series
I currently have the SE2 and want to upgrade to the 13 Mini like you did. My biggest concerns are the notch and Face ID. How did you adjust to these? Any cons to the upgrade?
@@MARTINRIGGSS I have had issues with all fingerprint sensors (galaxy note8, pixel 3a, iPhone 6s, iPhone se2. Face ID is so fast I tap and swipe up and it’s unlocked. Only downside Id say is the screen is a little more of a reach to touch the corners, but I’d easily buy the 13 mini 3x over and I genuinely recommend the upgrade if you want some more features
I'd like for them to keep the mini design for the future SE phones. SE makes a good first phone for young people. They would not need the latest processor or camera updates.
I've paired my iPhone Mini with a iPad mini so my iPad is my media/game device while my iPhone Mini is my walk around phone outside of the house.
iPhone SE4 might be canceled
I switched from the 2016 se to the 13 mini a few days ago, and it’s been amazing. Literally everything is better, and honestly, one of the things I noticed most was the haptics, followed by Face ID, which is so insanely fast it genuinely feels like I don’t have a password.
My one complaint is a better of a weird one- it actually feels to big. Don’t get me wrong, it’s way better than a full sized iPhone, but I expected it to be smaller. Even though it’s only a few millimetres bigger than the 2016 se, the fact that the screen covers the whole phone makes it feel way bigger, to the point where I sometimes struggle with one handed use. It might also be that I’m just not used to the bigger screen yet, so I’ll maybe update this comment in a week or two to talk about any changes in my experience.
Your description nails my experience too.
I have been using my 13 Mini for almost a year now. It's a good phone, but OGSE is the best size in my opinion too. As you touched on, I think bezeless design is a stupid concept. Bezels offer reasonable space for people to put their fingers. These spaces could be utilised with front facing speakers which are great too (This was done half a decade ago) but they're preferencing visual aesthetics which is a real shame.
I switched back to my OGSE for about a month and a half in 2022 and It performed pretty well. It holds up. The only reasons I switched back to the 13 Mini was the lack of fast charging and the 13 Mini camera is great, (specifically night mode).
I am honestly tempted to go back to my OGSE very often. I love that phone.
I am a tech nerd to some extent, but at the same time I am primitive too and hesitant to adopt some technology trends.
I do not use mag safe on my iphone. I do not have a wireless charger in my residence.
One thing that I had not realised that I had become very reliant on is fast charging.
When I swiched back to my old OGSE, charging speed became very very very apparent to me.
I do love the OGSE. It is the best phone I have ever owned but fast charging has become very important to me and that alone and warranted my continued use of my 13 Mini. Camera quality was a factor too but it was minimal.
@@coxxycabee I too, would love for the bezels to come back! a modern se 2016 copy would be great! I currently have a 12 mini, but I do miss the home button too
I got my mini in February 2022. I absolutely love this phone! So convenient and easy to put in your pockets and small bags. I don’t feel the need to use such a big phone
My only complaint- so difficult to find cute cases. Pop sockets feel huge on the mini, tried the loopy case too and same thing. Marshall’s and TJ Maxx don’t carry cases for the mini, neither does Target.
Love my 13 mini. Best phone I’ve ever had! Keeping it until it is no longer supported and then hopefully switching to the future SE using the same form factor.
TYSM 🙏🙏 I was hesitant to buy it cause I have a 6,7 inch phone and use it quite a lot for youtube
I still rocking my 12 mini hoping that apple will release the mini as the new iPhone SE in the future. Until that, magsafe battery pack solve my only problem with 12 mini
Trade it for the 13 mini
So helpful, thanks Mark!
Thank you for showing a such lovely Montreal s picture ! I recognize the street and the corner! I have an Iphone mini 12 and I find it as good as the 13.
Yey i'm Watching this video from the Philippines😍😍😍, this is totally my dream phone. I wish to have this phone this incoming Christmas😞😊❤
Excellent review. I love my mini. Probably my favorite iPhone since the first gen SE.
Great video. Does it have Dolby Atmos?
2023 and I still want one of those.
How is the typing experience on the mini? Do you get any trouble cuz of smaller screen size?
I love my 13 mini. Definitely my favorite phone Apple has made. I get comments and compliments all the time on it as well.
Just upgraded from the XS to a mint condition Product Red 13
Mini.
I knew I was swapping my XS this year, as it's about to lose the latest iOS, but its battery health (or lack of it) hastened the upgrade.
Using a bumper and MagSafe grip - not a fan of full cases - and have already got myself quite a few MagSafe accessories. These include a portable charging stand that I can use on the go, and to trigger Standby Mode when I'm home.
This 'Mini' iPhone has the same footprint as my iPhone 7 - how times have changed.
Thanks for the content.
Between 13 mini and se 3 which one is a better choice if I decide to buy it right now?
I recently got the 13 mini and I love the size coming from an 11. Battery life is just enough for me since I am not a heavy user.
I know what you feel about the size! I switched from 12 mini to 13 pro max and still missing that handy little 12 mini! Sure, battery is much better in 13 pro max, refresh rate too, but that’s all. Pls, apple, I’m waiting for 15 mini.
got my 13 mini after having a 11 pro that was absolutely fantastic for nearly 3 years, i hope the 13 mini will be as good.
As for the iPhone 13mini it heats up if your charger is not original Apple. I experienced that issue now. When I plugged my old original charger it seized heating up. No other iPhone did this. My girlfriend’s iPhone 12 Pro works fine on the non original charger.
Excellent review revisiting the iPhone 13 mini! I've got two questions:
1. How is the typing experience on the iPhone 13 mini, with its more compact onscreen keyboard?
2. How is it like when used for navigation i.e. using Waze or Google Maps? Does the maps and icons appear to be too small compared to the maps on the regular iPhone 13 or Pro Maxes?
Thanks.
Hey, I had an iPhone 14 Pro Max and switched to the iPhone 13 mini because the pro max was simply too big. I’m a computer science engineering student and I realized that the main benefits (Better cameras, bigger screen, and 120hz) were so very underutilized from me it was actually a liability to me because of it’s size. On the mini, everything works flawlessly. The keyboard is a bit smaller so it’s a short adjustment period if you’re coming from a big phone but after a day it’s VERY manageable (especially easier to adjust if you’re coming from a larger iPhone instead of android). Same with navigation and media consumption apps. If you’re used to a big screen it will admittedly take an adjustment period, but you’ll never be directly hindered or unable to see something because of the size. If you’re older and are sensitive to smaller texts it can be a bit more difficult because a larger font affects the phone much more on the mini than it would to a regular or max. I’d only 100% recommend you to get one in your hands for a couple days and see how you like it. I had my mind made up and had NO intention on going back to a big phone, but the smaller screen can maybe be a deal breaker (not likely though, as the screen is not as small as it may seem). Like I mentioned, my studies and daily life has no need for a larger phones benefits, and the smaller size is a greater benefit than you could ever imagine. Hope this helps.
love this phone, thanks to you and your review I went with it, and its the best.
Nice!
I just switched from a 8 plus to the 13 mini and it’s so fire, the speaker is so much louder than the 8
Can i put a second sim?Can i have 2 numbers with this one?
Was hoping for a 14 mini but didn’t get one so might just pull the trigger on the 13 mini.
Would you change if you were a longtime and only android user to an apple?? Would buying this upset me and waste money...i have a S8 and present.
What did u buy
@@AlexanderGeorge pixel 4a. It's good but glitchy. I think Samsung is better stability, Apple is not for me.

My only issue is with the Notch 😄😄
Hello Mark thanks for the video, I just have one question...
13 mini use the same camera as the 13? I mean somewhere I read that the aperture and other lenses related features are different. Could you go deep in this? btw I am taking mine this month but still deciding 13 or 13 mini...
Hi, can I transfer info from the Samsung Galaxy 3 to the Apple iPhone 13 Mini? Cheers bud. 😉
The real question is - Does Ritchie Blackmore own the Deep Purple pro max or the (mid) Night?
I jumped at the 12 mini, upgraded to the 13 mini and have no interest in it's bigger brothers. Love the mini, I'll use it until it dies or until the se takes it's form. Fantastic for people that use their phone as just a phone!
I’ve had my mini since mid July of this year, I payed $700 for it brand new and I absolutely adore it! My favorite phone I’ve ever owned! I LOVE the camera with this phone, best one I’ve ever had.
Love my iPhone 13 mini ……it’s perfect for my pocket and my handbag …..I use an iPad at home for Netflix or TH-cam, for all media consumption…so the 13 Mini …basically serves as my Camera calls and messages on the on …..if you need to use your phone for all your media consumption you will need a bigger screen and battery …otherwise I found this little phone perfection
I bought the Mini based on your previous video. I have massive hands and I have dropped it so many times but I do love it but.... I want to do journalling on an app and the phone is just too small so upgrading to either the 14 or 14 Plus. I do have to give it a quick charge most nights but it charges quickly.
Traded my 12 mini for the 13 mini I love it. I also have the pixel 7 pro but 13 mini rules .
Don't you find the dac lacking compared to other iPhones when using airplay 2? I find it's much quieter compared to other iPhones
I love mine. Almost complete compact phone, nice camera, nice battery for normal usage, the size so nice to put it in my pocket, easy to carry it everywhere. Love it.
Don’t HAVE to use the latest device, can still review the newest devices and keep them around for videos, but continue to use a phone you truly love. I appreciate the look back on the best phone Apple has ever made (in my opinion).
I do really, mate - that's how I draw attention to my brand. I also need to use those latest devices to keep up to speed with what's going on. I'm not getting rid of that mini any time soon, though!
Been running on a iPhone SE 2016 for about 2 to 3 years now, moving 'back' to it from an iPhone 8 Plus, I just had it replaced by T-mobile. I love the size, but I understand that it will slowly be phased out, no more updates and I have noticed some sluggish network issues. So moving to the 12 mini over the older first gen SE would be good for me, as far as battery, the SE last me all day, but I do carry a battery pack designed for the iPhone. I think I will make the move to the 12 mini based on price, if I can find a 13 mini, better, definitely not moving to the 14, don't like the new SIM design.
I have a 13 mini and had a few issues after iOS 16. My camera app lags when taking pictures it also excessively heats up my phone. Also my phone heats up with normal tasks. And at 91% maximum capacity the battery is starting to drain a bit faster I can go from 90% to 79% in under an hour, the phone has been stuttering I don't know why. Kinda makes me feel like i have my iPhone 7 all over again, wish I got a white 13 mini ( I got red ) but that was on me
I bought the 13 mini based on your previous video on how great the mini is. And you were right it is a great phone. I bought the 14 Pro and wow it’s so heavy and because of the cameras Its top heavy and not a great gym phone. But you’re correct the 14 Pro has so many features, battery life, display and camera. I have 10 days to decide to return the 14 Pro
Is it good to upgrade from iphone 12 128 gb?
I just upgraded from iPhone 11 to iPhone 13 mini and I love it ❤
Mark-another fantastic video. I have the 13 mini and was very much looking forward to this detailed review. The 13 mini has been my favorite iPhone. I had the 12 mini but as you said that was inferior with the battery, camera and the chip. 13 mini has the same chip as those 14's and it is impressive.
Like you said the 13 mini battery is for single day use and for the casual user. The heavy user will see the battery could last up to 12 hour or a bit more but not a full day.

Can you please do the same with the standard iphone 13?
I would... but the search traffic just doesn't seem to be the same I'm afraid!
It's funny that the screen is considered so small when it is larger than the original Galaxy Note. :) I'll probably get a Mini eventually, I'm still holding out on the original SE!
They really should continue the iPhone mini line.
The only situation I know that can make my iPhone mini reliably heat up uncomfortably is when I’m trying to use data when my phone has low signal. Typically, putting the phone in aeroplane mode cools it down quite fast.
Still luvin the 13 mini... the size and the camera works for my day to day.
Nice!
Actually the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 14 have an A15 Bionic with one GPU core more, so it is not the exact same chip. But it is not that important for daily life...
I have an iPhone 13 mini as well and I can recommend it, indeed. The battery for me is easy a day and I can push it to two, if there is a need for...
