I currently have a 256GB 13 mini. I’ve upgraded every year since the 4S but after the improvements made from the 12 mini to the 13 mini (battery, display, camera), I’m contemplating not just skipping this year’s iPhone, but also trading this one in and grabbing a 512 before apple discontinues them. This phone paired with an iPad mini 6 and soon an M2 MacBook Air, I’ve never been happier with such a compact yet more than functional iPhone. The iPhone 13 mini is indeed underrated.

I have a 13 mini and I absolutely love it. It was an upgrade over my iPhone 7. I find bigger iPhones to be unappealing because of the weight and uncomfortable need for 2 hands. Even after the iPhone 14 being announced, I love my mini and I’m mad at apple for abandoning them.

I used 13 pro for about 5-6 months then switched to 13 mini and it only took me few hours to get used to 60hz display. I really don't miss out anything from 13 pro now and I always loved the mini size because it's not really "mini" as people think, it's the perfect sized phone in this day and age where phones are turning to tablet size and tablets are turning into laptop sizes and phones are no longer phones now. I don't use pro camera as I like what's available in 13 mini anyway. It just works! I frigggin love my 13 mini!

I bought the iPhone 14 Pro thinking I would enjoy the new camera system. I was wrong. It is heavy and bulky and difficult to handle with one hand. Returned it and got the 13 Mini instead. So happy I did for all of the reasons you stated!

My XS broke last monday, so i bought a 13 mini and have used it a week now. And I have to say: I think I was never so happy with a phone. It has a ton of power, battery life is ok (still better, than on my old phone), a really good camera and nice features like faceID with Masks. But the very best part is: it is so extremely handy. I can do everything with just one hand, it fits easily in my front pockets and I can reach everything with just one hand (that is something you really appreciate, once you have it). I'm so happy about it and would recommend it to literally for everyone, except for people who need a really good battery life

I just bought a new Iphone 13 mini and love it. I can’t stand large phones . It’s like carrying round a small tv

[Carlostry]

I’ve had a lot of people say they wanted the 13 mini instead of the 13 pro max. Even an apple employee told me they’d rather have the smaller form factor of the 13 mini then the regular 13 pro.

13 Mini was the best tech purchase ive made in the last decade. As a male, I hated the weight in my pants with the pro max model. Also considering theres no way to run two apps at once on iphone I felt like the big screen was pointless aside from GPS. Battery life easily gets me through the day comfortably and I live in a city with 5G data. Also got me off being a screen slave because the screen size was uncomfortable over long periods. Still watch videos and am on social media but not for nearly as long. Made my phone much more of a practical device.

Very disappointed to hear that they're likely to abandon flagship minis! I want a Pro mini! I currently have an 11pro, the smallest of the 11 series, and no plans to get a new phone anytime soon. If the 13 minis had as many lenses as the "pro" phones I'd be tempted to go ahead and get one to encourage them to make smaller phones.

Apple is destroying this model by calling it “mini”. It is somewhat a negative term for most people. This is a normal size. Anything above 6 inches are actually big.

[timmzahn]

I bought an iPhone 12 Mini, and like others was unimpressed by the battery life. So when the 13 Mini came out, I upgraded to it. I love it. Apple discontinuing the Mini line with the new 14's, will make me keep this one for at least a couple of years. So much for having the iPhone Upgrade Program, eh? :)

[Jeo-What]

Unfortunately, iPhone 12 Mini had destroyed the reputation of "Mini" mainly due to the short battery life. I just got the 13 Mini 256GB a month ago to replace the iPhone 12 Pro mainly due to the discomfort of the size and weight. The iPhone 13 Mini's viewable screen size is only 0.1" smaller but with OLED and much brighter than the biggest screen iPhone 8 Plus (LED) just a few years ago so I am not sure why screen size would even be an issue. I hope Apple will give us the new iPhone SE as well as new iPhone Mini Pro in the future. A iPhone Mini Pro, I will buy that in a heartbeat as I do miss the telephoto lens, Pro-Rez and the assistance of Lidar in difficult lighting conditions.

[ConnieRoseknows]

I bought the iPhone mini 12 and I upgraded to the iPhone mini 13. I will agree with you it is the best phone and I am probably going to keep it for a couple of years! The iPhone 14 would have to be pretty darn amazing for me to upgrade.

[jeffmande]

I just upgraded from iPhone 8 to 13 mini last week. The screen is larger than the 8 of course, and I am used to this size phone. It also fits in my pocket, which i like.

[eliseqzr]

I have been using iPhone 13 Mini for 5 months now so far its great -- pretty shocked that "small" screen isnt a big deal. I have a cousin who bought a 13 promax and he kinda regret it... he said its too big, too heavy, cant fit on his pockets and he always drop it from time to time he said the promax is great but if he would take back the time he would rather "downgrade" from regular 13 or 13 mini instead. IDK what is wrong with people tho, i kinda felt like i am missing out because i have the "small" phone.

[TravisPluss]

The iPhone 13 mini is literally the best phone - period.

[Shoonya_]

Great review bud, you picked your pointers and framed it all really well. Been using the 13 mini red 128 gb. A15 bionic on a compact device with good battery life is just perfect for a casual user like me! Just an ideal daily driver that melts in the pocket.

[janandrzejewski]

I agree with almost everything you said in this video. I’ve been using an iPhone 13 mini for a few months now and it’s amazing

[manueltedesco]

Wouldn't this be the perfect size to use with the new dynamic island? I feel like they really need to bring this back once every phone from the lineup gets dynamic island, especially since the 14 plus didn't do as expected in terms of sales.

[madabusd]

So happy to see vids like this. Been craving for a good small-factor phone. No complaints with anything with the iPhone 13 Mini, If Apple stops this line, I will order another 128/256 Gb model just so I am set for a few more years. I totally-totally love my Mini!!
