Bought my 13 mini last October and will keep it for years...in 2/3 years lifespan I'm going to an Apple store to replace the battery. Tiny but very powerful, it's really a great phone.
@Francesco Pavinato - I agree it’s a great phone and yeah if needed I would be doing the same to my phone as well. The battery health is looking good so far and hopefully Apple will have a new iteration before I need a change. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I say in 2-3 years you should just retire it and get a new phone. Don't sell it or give it away but use it as a backup or a 2nd camera instead. An iPhone in airplane mode that's only used as a camera and a music player will net you quite a long time. That's what I do with my iPhone X and it only has to be charged once a week, sometimes less frequent. iPhones have great standby time on a single charge and not using wifi or cellular really makes it last much longer. Just some unsolicited advice from the owner of a 4yr old iPhone.
I’m keeping mine as long as possible because I like smaller phones and this is the last mini I just hope in the future the mini returns but I can definitely see me with this phone for the next 4 years
I'm completely baffled by the comments on the battery. Have bought the 13 mini a few days ago. I do not play games, neither record videos/take photos; I check messages sometimes, listen to no more than 2h of podcasts/songs every day. And, around 15 pm the battery level is about 30% (being charged @ 8, 9 am). Really, tf is happening because people are saying by the end of the day their battery level is yet about 20, 10%
I think that Apple should've released the mini 6 months after the release of the standard 13 and the Pro models. That way, the mini isn't looked as the most inferior phone out of the bunch. If Apple released it 6 months after alongside the SE, people can have a choice between which new shiny small phone they'd prefer.
@Mark Moncera - Wow mark I couldn’t agree more as I had thought to do a separate video on why the mini iPhones are failing and what you said is exactly one of the topics I had on my mind. The mini gets overshadowed by the rest of the lineup and had it had its own limelight then it would certainly be better. Great to hear from you bud I hope all is well with ya 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Love my 13 mini and if Apple end up discontinuing the mini, it was nice while it lasted. I think it had a lot of potential, but its sales said otherwise. I'll keep buying it if they do make another mini in the future. I have the same experience with my pinky. I feel that it hurts and is suffering from such big phones. Not anymore with the 13 mini tho. It just feels so nice in the hand. Love the vid, man! A video on why the mini line up failed would be a great idea!
@Mark Moncera - Couldn’t agree more with you! After the 12 there were rumors too but we still got the 13 mini so let’s see what happens. Either way I’ll be holding on to this as my daily until they make another one. Thanks for the feedback and I’ll definitely be making that video 😊.
The first error was to call it « Mini ». That sound immediately inferior and cheap. The names should have been like : iPhone 13, 13 Plus, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. Same goes for 12 series
Now that I’ve used the amazing 13 mini for a while I realize that one of the things I like the most is how easy it makes using Apple Pay at point of sales machines. Instead of fishing a huge phone out and holding that beast up to the machine the mini slips in and out of your pocket so smoothly and effortlessly in comparison, also people can hardly tell you’re holding anything when you scan the machine.
@Philip Combs - That’s what I love most about it. It’s so compact and easy to handle yet it doesn’t come with a boat load of compromises. Really sad to see it not being continued but hoping to get a future model soon. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Currently have a perfectly good and still great iPhone XR for the last 3 years, battery efficiency at 90%. I have been thinking about the iPhone 13 Mini for a few days now, more so since I held it in my hands. Perfect size for me.
@Alonso Sotomayor - That’s the phone I had before I switched to the iPhone SE and I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve continued to stay with the small line and I can’t go back whatsoever. Definitely give it a try! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
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.
It was time for a new iPhone for me. Have always admired the 12 mini. When to the Apple Store to check out the 14 and 13 models and came home with a blue 13 Mini. What a great phone, love the size to this little powerhouse…
@Eugene Diaz - That’s awesome and yes it’s definitely the size of the mini that just makes it such a lovable phone. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Yo Q, I bought the mini 13 even though I am an Android user, the mini size is hard to beat with all that you get for the price, I still have my fold, I just switch phones depending on what I am doing. Good review man. 👍
@NO WAY - Glad I could help with the review and I totally agree with you. The 13 mini is perfect for me, all the functionality I need in such a perfect form factor. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
i am planning on buying this phone,mainly cuz i wanna switch to ios and cuz i love small phones since i have tiny hands i ve been watching so many reviews about this phone and i can tell this phone is really gonna worth the change,such a small phone with very very good cameras,good battery and the processor the 2nd best of apple's processor,incredible for its price
It’s an awesome device I’ve been enjoying it since the compact size since the 12 mini but with the 13 mini camera upgrades it’s just a no brainer for me. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Satisfying review, bought my mini a week back. Love it and like you said if Apple releases another mini then you can see me standing in the queue outside the store.
@donkb241 - Totally agree with you! I’ve been using the 14 pro since it launched so that I can make a video review but I’m missing my mini. The fact that the mini is so comfortable to use and has such good specs it’s something I truly love. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽.
I appreciate the realism of your review. It isn't all about the newest, fastest and biggest. I don't have small hands, but I still prefer the size of the 13 Mini in my hand. I'm quite satisfied with the photos I take with a Mini. The average phone user doesn't even know the difference by getting the latest phone without someone telling them about it. So many people are still quite satisfied with a series 6, 7, or X.
@Jeff Kemp - Thanks for the feedback Jeff, it’s how I approach all my reviews. I try and give a hands on perspective of every product so I’m glad that the video was helpful for you. The 13 mini is great not only in size but also spec wise. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Nice chilled out video straight to the point. I gave my 13 mini to my wife a year ago and am now going to buy another for me I agree with everything you say it’s so easy to manage and is powerful enough for what most people will need 😊oh by the way I’m predominantly an android user but this is all I need.
@John Keelty - It really is perfect in terms of specs and usability. Now is actually a great time to get one since the prices are down and who knows how long Apple will keep it around. Glad you enjoyed the video and I definitely appreciate you watching!
Hi Qasim, very accurate judgement and analysis you have put in this video and i must say I couldn't agree more with every aspect you explained about the awesomeness of the 13 mini. I moved to this from 11 pro, and i am so super happy about the form factor as well as the camera. I always preferred such an easy to hold & easy to carry iPhone and it makes me feel nostalgic as i think of iPhone 5/5s which was another awesome phone had come up. And yeah, its the last mini they say, so i am definitely planning to keep for long time (longer than 11 pro which i used for around 2.5 years). Great video overall ❤️
@Anshul Keche - Thank you so much for the feedback I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I can’t speak highly of this phone enough. I’m so happy with the feature set and form factor that I too will be hanging onto it until there’s a solid replacement. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
im in the same boat .Im almost ready to switch from the 11pro to the 13 mini .Im only afraid about the battery .Comparing it with the 11 pro how much is the battery difference? Thank you :)
@Nikos - I don’t think you will have any issue because the 11 pro is rated for up to 18 hours of video playback while the 13 mini is rated for 17. Considering that your battery has probably aged a bit I believe you’d be getting an equivalent or even better amount of life from the 13 mini. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
After several years of using an iPhone 8 (and an 8 Plus before that), I was aiming for an iPhone 12 or 13 Mini since I really like the comfort of smaller phones and couldn't afford any of the current flagships. I'm perfectly sure that I would have been completely happy with either Mini model. Now, I ended up getting used iPhone 12 Pro - but I still consider the Minis to be the perfect phones for me and my needs. If I would get a single wish for the future iPhones, it would be that the next generation of the iPhone SE is based on the 13 Mini - that would be wonderful!
@Andreas Viklund - I myself having used both the pro (currently 14 pro) and mini phones I would still prefer the mini. The size and comfort is such an important factor for me that I don’t miss anything in comparison to the pro models. I really think they should’ve eliminated the SE and turned it into the mini line.
@NetNavi - Congrats 🎉 I absolutely love the mini for it’s size and because it doesn’t require any compromise. I too will hang onto it and wait until it’s successor 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
I changed from an iPhone 8 Plus wanting something smaller as I was tired of the big size for the last four years, I was aiming at the 12 Pro due to the price but discovered the 13 mini had some great specs including same camera lenses as last year’s pro, almost same screen size as my previous 8 plus and said fuck it… I have zero regrets, being able to use this with one hand is great plus all the goodies it has. Just to be clear I have an iPad Pro 12.9 so all my media consumption/ work and studies are done there.
@J Sán - That’s awesome I’m glad you’re loving it. The screen size is pretty much the same and you’re getting a much better specd phone in a much more compact form factor. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I’m in the exact same situation. I’m still using my 8 plus, i’ll get the mini probably next month. But i’m an art student so i have an iPad pro too and a Macbook so i don’t need a big phone anymore. I always liked the small phones but i bought the 8 plus because at the time that was my only device and i liked to read pdf books.
@@izzybell6735 aah you’ll do great! I’m actually an artist living from my work and that’s a perfect setup, mini is great when I do plein air panting, only thing mini misses and I’d look into is the lack of telephoto lens.
Though I considered switching to the 13 Mini from my old iPhone X, I went for the 13 Pro due to battery reasons. Was longing for a phone that would make me forget about battery, and I‘m more than happy with the 13 Pro‘s battery life. Still, if Apple somehow - magically - would come up with a mini phone which had the same battery life of the 13 Pro, I’d instantly be down for it 😎
@Flo Ryan - That’s totally understandable and yeah with the 13 pro honestly battery is never really a worry especially with my usage. Eventually I’m sure we will get to a point with time where even smaller phones won’t have a battery issue 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Very nice video man! liked your style. Also loved the covers of your phone. It really sucks that apple will discontinue mini but as you said i hope in future they will revive it. I currently have iphone 12 (totally satisfied with it) and will get 13 mini once iphone 14 is released, hoping the price of mini will come down further.
@Waqas M - Thank you brother 🙏🏽. Yeah I’m sure with the 14 release the price of all the 13 models will drop. It’s a spectacular phone bhai and I’m really hopeful to see a future model at some point.
Hi Quasim! This was definitely a great video!! Thank you for being so informative about the grrat benefits of the Iphone mini 13. Totally love the “It’s melts on you” it’s such a great form factor that I’m really considering of upgrading from my Iphone 11 pro max. Thanks again!
@Clouds - Thank you so much for the feedback I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a great phone with the perfect form factor and totally an easy recommendation for me. Thanks for watching the video I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Excellent video, well explained, I have the iPhone 12 Pro and I got the iPhone 13 mini and I love it! I had my doubts because the size, but I am happy with it, I haven't test it all the way but I will doing some videos with this phone and see how it works! anyways thank you for amazing review! you got a new subscriber on me, I am learning to make videos and creating content so you are videos are well created! be safe!
@Tech Therapy Guy - Thank you so much for the feedback! The feeling when you get adjusted to the smaller size of the 13 mini is awesome and it makes you realize that it’s all the iPhone you really need. I love it and I really hope apple continues to make it going forward. If you need any help be sure to reach out and I’ll do my best! Thanks for the sub man I really appreciate it and I’ll check out your channel as well.
@@QasimZafar Yes I just stared using my iPhone 13 mini today and it feels different because the sizes but it feels right, so many years using pro max size that I forgot how good it feels having a complete small phone in your pants lol, thank you to you too, like I said I’m a new RUclipsr so I’m learning the roads lol keep in touch!
@@frankiepavinato I used both and the battery of the iPhone 13 mini can really hold the battery as the iPhone 12 pro, just minimum different but almost the same to be honest
@Francesco Pavinato - With the 13 pro I’m at a 30% mark by 9/10pm so getting through the day I don’t have to rely on any additional charge however on heavier days even the 13 pro requires a little boost. Hope this helps 😊.
i upgraded to my 13 mini back in june from an iphone 6s and i want to hold on to this phone for as long as i can or until apple decides to make mini iphones again. it is hands down the best phone ever! i never liked bigger phones anyway, my last phone before the 6s was a 5s and i loved and still love those phones. longevity wise, i think i will just get battery replacements down the line so i can enjoy this phone for as long as i can :D
@cashewdriven - I totally agree with you and I myself will be doing the same even though atm I have both my sims attached to the 14 pro for testing so I can do a review of it. After the review I’ll be splitting the lines up so that my mini can be my daily driver again. The 14 pro is great but I do miss my mini and it’s smaller size.
Man I just love your leather back cover of your 13 mini. And I also agree with you on your most of opinions also liked your review. Using the 13 mini for 3 months and I love it.
@Naim Ahmed - I sanded the golden brown apple leather case to give it a distressed look and I definitely love it. Thank you bhai for the feedback! The mini is an awesome phone, I’m going to be getting rid of my pro model now as I simply don’t have a need for it. I’ll just stick to two minis 😊.
Happy for 13 mini. Had SOS purchase so I took SE 3 first, and then I saw it's a no go for me (did the switch). Thought about 12 mini.. but hey i can lower the capacity and take the 13 mini with the same price range. From X to 13 mini. Phone size is normal, not that small and love the camera + night mode. Performance is great and battery life is good. I was surprised that 13 min have cinema mode as well.. Will see how much battery life iOS 15.5 will add. I believe I will switch to iPhone 15 afterwards (but who knows). Had the iPhone X for 5 years. Awesome to see that gaming console!
@christeder - The 13 mini is definitely a great device. It’s only smal when compared to the current lineup but it’s actually a great size. Love the 13 mini and will be keeping it for some time going forward if there’s no replacement. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate.
I really appreciate your videos, very helpful indeed. Although size does matter, I hope Apple continues with mini iPhones for years to come. I got one for my mother.
@Eddy - Hey bud hope you are well! Thank you so much for the feedback, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. I really would love apple to continue the mini models because I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
@Srini nyk- That’s what the reports suggest but fingers crossed 🤞🏽 as I’m hoping for a continuation of the mini line at some point in the future. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
I have always liked iPhone as it's always been so compact, smooth to use, powerfull and what not. The best phone ever I joined apple family when I bought 5s and then suddenly from iphone 6 the design were changed. I was using 5s for almost 10 years hoping they would bring the same design back. I was happy with the release of 12 especially 12 mini but reviews of 12 mini were not that great. Last October I bought 13 mini and it's such a great phone. It's like 5s 1 inch taller with edge to edge display. I still remember checking the size of 13 mini by putting my 5s on top of that hoping it not being to big then 5s. People take me as a fool for choosing mini over 13 but honestly I just love it. If the stories of 13 mini being the last compact iphone are true then all 13 mini holders should be proud to own a legendary phone.
Was on the fence about deciding between 13 and 13 mini.. and after the new 14 series, which basically have pretty much the same specs as 13, the 13 mini seems so special ! I'll go get it now XD
@@QasimZafar Exactly ! It felt like the perfect time to upgrade. Been holding on to my Galaxy S9 for more than 3 yrs now and that was so slim and had the perfect size.. The only issue in the later stages was its battery performance. And that's again the concern here with the mini. But the magsafe battery looks kinda made for the mini too haha. I can never get myself to hold and use monsters like the pro max.
I love how down to earth this review feels, great video. I'm glad I'm discovering this phone years after it was released because it means I can find it at a lower price. If I were to buy a refurbished 13 mini at, say, a battery health of 80%, would that lower health affect the battery life much in your opinion?
@jyle - I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the feedback. I would say get it as a Apple refurbished product so that way it’ll have a good battery and you’ll get it at a cheap price.
I love my mini, I finish the day with 50% battery. A review I watched stated " function vs obsession" which I find is a perfect viewpoint. I don't game, little social media and a medium amount of phone calls. If you're going to game on a phone then that's another discussion. I traded up from an 11 Pro Max, it was heavy and cumbersome. I am hoping they bring the mini back with iPhone 15.
@King50Conan - Your usage is very similar to mine as I too can get through most of my days without any issue. The size and weight difference is awesome when you come from a larger device. Once you get used to this form factor it’s too hard to go back. Glad your loving it and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Mannnnnn I don’t know if I should do the move from my 12 pro max to this baby. I’m so over a huge phone and I don’t really even use the “pro” features on my pro. I only use my phone to text, Apple Pay, email, and music. What do I dooooo. Or do I wait until fall and hope they drop a 14 mini? 😅
@eddygurrr - Well for starters you’ll have the same camera setup except for the telephoto of course. I originally had an iPhone X and also an XR when I decided to switch over to the iPhone SE 2020 and even then I was happy because I’d just grown tired of the larger iPhones. With the 12/13 mini I’m even happier because you get such solid features and you’re really not missing out on much. I really hope there’s a 14 mini but I can’t say for sure. I’d say you’re in a good position to wait since you’ve already got a great phone. If there happens to be a 14 mini then go for it otherwise the 13 mini will still be there 😊. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
@B Fahey - I sanded it down myself, I’ve done a video on that separately in my MagSafe playlist. Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I’m currently shopping for an iPhone.. I’ve had the 12 Pro and Max models and used the Max model for a year and I’m still struggling to make it feel comfortable on my hands lol.. I use my iPhone for basic use and a bit of media and I’ve been eyeing the 13 mini since there was no drastic change with the 14 lineup
@joeylondonxo - I just did a video on trying out the pro max for two weeks and even though it’s got the bigger screen and added features I still would prefer the mini. Tons of capability in a perfect form factor.
@Cyborg - That’s totally understandable, for me I can go back and forth without an issue but I’d happily take pro motion on a mini 🤩. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Battery is a non issue honestly. My wife's Tesla and my BMW have wireless charging. At home I have wireless charging. I agree on the utility of the iPhone Mini. Large phones are gauche and no longer confer status. Small is the new vibe.
@Billy Boy - I agree if you’re just willing to make that slight compromise everything else goes in the favor of the 13 mini. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Farah Diyanah - If you’ve got a decent phone right now then waiting would be good just to see your options otherwise just get it now as it’s an awesome phone.
@@QasimZafar using a 7plus. Still works decent just laggy at times. After years of waiting and seeing I guess I’m just excited cause I finally found a phone that I like. But you’re right, waiting would be the better option :)
@Farah Diyanah - Yeah if you just wait the six months you’ll be able to make a better decision. You never know there could always be a 14 mini and if not the 13 will be cheaper 😊.
Wait. I’m still using SE/2016. Love smaller form factor. Will get 13 mini in 5 months, for $100 cheaper. Especially if no 14 mini, which news says there won’t be.
This phone should be called iPhone Pocket or something like that. Mini sounds like it's inferior to the regular iPhone. Plus and Max sound like they are superior to the regular iPhone. That's at least partially why the sales are lacking with the Mini. I'm pretty sure the next iPhone SE will be based on the Mini. Hope so.
@Janne Väätäinen - Yup I totally agree with you and that’s actually a point I brought up in my other video about why the 13 mini failed. I’ll link it down below if you’re interested. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽. ruclips.net/video/tXfM3u23YkA/видео.html
@Quinton Markett - Yeah with light use it’s definitely possible to make it through a day easily. Most of my days I am good in terms of battery. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Robin Wardlow - That’s awesome I’m glad the video helped! You will absolutely love this phone, one handed use on its own is enough to keep me hooked. All the specs packed into this is an added bonus. I’d highly recommend this to anyone. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Hello - I appreciate your detailed and very honest review. I have a question though…it already 8/2023 now….is it still wise to get one considering how quickly Apple introduces updates on their products. Help!
The mini is not going to get a device upgrade for now so you’re good if you want to buy one. What I would do is wait until iPhone 15 release so that you can get it for a better price.
@@QasimZafar you’re simply the best there is Q. Any idea when the 15 is coming out though? I desperately need to trade in my 7S..I stayed with it because I was waiting for a small phone. Your review made the best explanation on the 13.
@nenitaherrera-sioco4636 - iPhone 15 will be out by end of September. The Apple event will be happening second week of September and in that we’ll know the exact date.
I had a se 2020 the battery was terrible I would always need the charg it 2 hours into work and would have to wait a long time just to hit 40% but the 13 mini I just wake up no change needed I can have it on me with out having to think about it
@Peppita Chips - Yeah the battery of the 13 mini is definitely better than the SE 2020 which I also had. With light usage it’s not difficult to get through the day.
I’m late to the party and just got my 13 mini on 4/23 but I’m sOooo happy with this phone. Coming from a iPhone 8 and iPhone X the difference is amazing. I love the speed the camera and the battery. 💚📱 Thanx for the review. I love it. 🫶🏽
Thank you for the feedback! Yes both are awesome but definitely prefer my mini. I've got a d-brand matte black skin simply because I don't like the shades of blue of the midnight color.
@Ronnie Christie - You’ll really love the size of the mini, it’s just perfect along with all the features. Once you adjust you’ll never go back. Glad you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate you watching 🙏🏽😊.
people loooove to mention how small and nice my green 13 mini is. people are just so used to phones getting bigger and bigger and don't realize that the minis are perfect with little to no compromise
that 7/8 plus comparison doesnt really make sense since they have a completely different aspect ratio. a 5.5'' 16:9 display (7/8+) is more comparable to a 6.1'' 20:9 display like on the 13 pro max because of the width.
@Patrick Kudak - I had a 7/8 plus and I’d happily make the switch, definitely wouldn’t be caught up with the overall ratio. For me it just makes sense to go from that to a smaller phone but still be able to have a good screen size along with an improvement in terms of overall features. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Inge Nunis - Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching. Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the RUclips family, I really hope all my future content will be just as enjoyable for you 😊.
I will get a iPhone 13 mini. ' So i should never let the battery drop below 30% or charge above 80%? Can you recommend me a protector hard case for me who are a slippery guy😅, and a good screen glass protector for the mini?
@Uuuung - Yes if you keep your charge levels between 30-80% it’ll really help your long term battery life.

I currently using 12 mini, i also heard that 14 series no longer have mini version, no planning to change after a year of using 12 mini, did feel regret i brought it too early. haha
@Lee Soon Fatt - Yeah the 12 mini was great and honestly what you could do is eventually upgrade to the 13 mini if they don’t continue it in the 14 series. There’s always folks on local classifieds letting go of used devices and you could definitely find a great deal in the future for the 13 mini. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I don’t want to upgrade from my iPhone 11 but I would get a second phone. And your convincing me how mazing the mini is all you need 👌. I want it to melt in my pocket 😎🙏

@yelitzamartinez4504 - The 15 pro is a great device as I got to test it out when it first launched. However the mini is my daily device and I can’t recommend it enough…I do understand your concern though simply because you don’t know how good the battery health will be on the refurbished one. I’d say wait it out because there are rumors of a new se4 device which should be similar to the 13 mini.

@PINKY PANCHAL - There is a slight .7in difference between the screen of the 11 and 13 mini but all you’ve got to do is get used to it and you’ll be just fine. When I switched to the SE I came from an iPhone XR and it was the same difference. That’s what I tell everyone, you’ve just got to use it for a few days and adapt. Once you do you’ll thank yourself for going with the 13 mini 😊. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Syed Bilal Ali - That’s awesome and I’d suggest you wait bhai because rumors are rumors and you never know. Bohat shukria for watching the video I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Anzil TheAllRounder - Would definitely recommend it, it’s a great device that’s comfortable and very capable. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I am seriously regretting 14 pro dynamic island is nice display is nice battery is wonderful barely need to charge and charges fast on my 20 watts charger but I find it uncomfortable it’s big heavy bulky sharp edges I miss the xs I don’t care about camera just display speakers stuff like this
@Reggie Lopez - It’s actually the golden brown case for the 13 mini it’s just now aged with time. When I first got it I sanded it down to accelerate the patina process and now it looks great. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Reggie Lopez - Thanks so much! I also loved the saddle brown but I’ve gotta say the golden brown is also great and ages really well, great option if you’re getting the 13 mini. I’ve got a video on the sanding process in my MagSafe wallet if you’d like to give it a go for yourself.
It is misleading to compare the screen size of the 13 mini and the plus phones with 5.5 inch screens because of aspect ratios. Those older phones have larger wider screens

Bought my 13 mini last October and will keep it for years...in 2/3 years lifespan I'm going to an Apple store to replace the battery. Tiny but very powerful, it's really a great phone.
@Francesco Pavinato - I agree it’s a great phone and yeah if needed I would be doing the same to my phone as well. The battery health is looking good so far and hopefully Apple will have a new iteration before I need a change. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I say in 2-3 years you should just retire it and get a new phone. Don't sell it or give it away but use it as a backup or a 2nd camera instead. An iPhone in airplane mode that's only used as a camera and a music player will net you quite a long time. That's what I do with my iPhone X and it only has to be charged once a week, sometimes less frequent. iPhones have great standby time on a single charge and not using wifi or cellular really makes it last much longer. Just some unsolicited advice from the owner of a 4yr old iPhone.
I’m keeping mine as long as possible because I like smaller phones and this is the last mini I just hope in the future the mini returns but I can definitely see me with this phone for the next 4 years
@William Newland - Same here 😊
I'm completely baffled by the comments on the battery. Have bought the 13 mini a few days ago. I do not play games, neither record videos/take photos; I check messages sometimes, listen to no more than 2h of podcasts/songs every day. And, around 15 pm the battery level is about 30% (being charged @ 8, 9 am). Really, tf is happening because people are saying by the end of the day their battery level is yet about 20, 10%
I think that Apple should've released the mini 6 months after the release of the standard 13 and the Pro models. That way, the mini isn't looked as the most inferior phone out of the bunch. If Apple released it 6 months after alongside the SE, people can have a choice between which new shiny small phone they'd prefer.
@Mark Moncera - Wow mark I couldn’t agree more as I had thought to do a separate video on why the mini iPhones are failing and what you said is exactly one of the topics I had on my mind. The mini gets overshadowed by the rest of the lineup and had it had its own limelight then it would certainly be better. Great to hear from you bud I hope all is well with ya 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Love my 13 mini and if Apple end up discontinuing the mini, it was nice while it lasted. I think it had a lot of potential, but its sales said otherwise. I'll keep buying it if they do make another mini in the future.
I have the same experience with my pinky. I feel that it hurts and is suffering from such big phones. Not anymore with the 13 mini tho. It just feels so nice in the hand.
Love the vid, man! A video on why the mini line up failed would be a great idea!
@Mark Moncera - Couldn’t agree more with you! After the 12 there were rumors too but we still got the 13 mini so let’s see what happens. Either way I’ll be holding on to this as my daily until they make another one. Thanks for the feedback and I’ll definitely be making that video 😊.
The first error was to call it « Mini ». That sound immediately inferior and cheap. The names should have been like : iPhone 13, 13 Plus, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. Same goes for 12 series
Great idea. Needs to stand out from the rest. The SE has got more coverage than the mini I think because of the release cycle being separate
Now that I’ve used the amazing 13 mini for a while I realize that one of the things I like the most is how easy it makes using Apple Pay at point of sales machines. Instead of fishing a huge phone out and holding that beast up to the machine the mini slips in and out of your pocket so smoothly and effortlessly in comparison, also people can hardly tell you’re holding anything when you scan the machine.
@Philip Combs - That’s what I love most about it. It’s so compact and easy to handle yet it doesn’t come with a boat load of compromises. Really sad to see it not being continued but hoping to get a future model soon. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I appreciate a blogger/reviewer/person who takes the time to respond to his audience. Good @qasim
@Dennis Taraporewala - I definitely try and do my best 🙏🏽.
Currently have a perfectly good and still great iPhone XR for the last 3 years, battery efficiency at 90%. I have been thinking about the iPhone 13 Mini for a few days now, more so since I held it in my hands. Perfect size for me.
@Alonso Sotomayor - That’s the phone I had before I switched to the iPhone SE and I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve continued to stay with the small line and I can’t go back whatsoever. Definitely give it a try! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Your voice is so soothing, can listen to it all night long
@Miguel Herrera - Appreciate the feedback and you watching the video 🙏🏽.
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.
It was time for a new iPhone for me. Have always admired the 12 mini. When to the Apple Store to check out the 14 and 13 models and came home with a blue 13 Mini. What a great phone, love the size to this little powerhouse…
@Eugene Diaz - That’s awesome and yes it’s definitely the size of the mini that just makes it such a lovable phone. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Yo Q, I bought the mini 13 even though I am an Android user, the mini size is hard to beat with all that you get for the price, I still have my fold, I just switch phones depending on what I am doing. Good review man. 👍
@NO WAY - Glad I could help with the review and I totally agree with you. The 13 mini is perfect for me, all the functionality I need in such a perfect form factor. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I bought yesterday after watching this video. Thanks for the info. And i love my iphone 13 mini green.
@Donn Sagarino - That’s awesome I’m glad the video helped 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
and thats exactly what I did.. went from 8 Plus directly to 13 mini . Thanks for the video !
@amincherif3838 - Welcome to the mini club, hope you enjoy the phone as it’s truly wonderful.
i am planning on buying this phone,mainly cuz i wanna switch to ios and cuz i love small phones since i have tiny hands i ve been watching so many reviews about this phone and i can tell this phone is really gonna worth the change,such a small phone with very very good cameras,good battery and the processor the 2nd best of apple's processor,incredible for its price
It’s an awesome device I’ve been enjoying it since the compact size since the 12 mini but with the 13 mini camera upgrades it’s just a no brainer for me. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Satisfying review, bought my mini a week back. Love it and like you said if Apple releases another mini then you can see me standing in the queue outside the store.
@donkb241 - Totally agree with you! I’ve been using the 14 pro since it launched so that I can make a video review but I’m missing my mini. The fact that the mini is so comfortable to use and has such good specs it’s something I truly love. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽.
I appreciate the realism of your review. It isn't all about the newest, fastest and biggest. I don't have small hands, but I still prefer the size of the 13 Mini in my hand. I'm quite satisfied with the photos I take with a Mini. The average phone user doesn't even know the difference by getting the latest phone without someone telling them about it. So many people are still quite satisfied with a series 6, 7, or X.
@Jeff Kemp - Thanks for the feedback Jeff, it’s how I approach all my reviews. I try and give a hands on perspective of every product so I’m glad that the video was helpful for you. The 13 mini is great not only in size but also spec wise. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Nice chilled out video straight to the point. I gave my 13 mini to my wife a year ago and am now going to buy another for me I agree with everything you say it’s so easy to manage and is powerful enough for what most people will need 😊oh by the way I’m predominantly an android user but this is all I need.
@John Keelty - It really is perfect in terms of specs and usability. Now is actually a great time to get one since the prices are down and who knows how long Apple will keep it around. Glad you enjoyed the video and I definitely appreciate you watching!
@@QasimZafar your very welcome 😊
Hi Qasim, very accurate judgement and analysis you have put in this video and i must say I couldn't agree more with every aspect you explained about the awesomeness of the 13 mini.
I moved to this from 11 pro, and i am so super happy about the form factor as well as the camera. I always preferred such an easy to hold & easy to carry iPhone and it makes me feel nostalgic as i think of iPhone 5/5s which was another awesome phone had come up.
And yeah, its the last mini they say, so i am definitely planning to keep for long time (longer than 11 pro which i used for around 2.5 years). Great video overall ❤️
@Anshul Keche - Thank you so much for the feedback I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I can’t speak highly of this phone enough. I’m so happy with the feature set and form factor that I too will be hanging onto it until there’s a solid replacement. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
im in the same boat .Im almost ready to switch from the 11pro to the 13 mini .Im only afraid about the battery .Comparing it with the 11 pro how much is the battery difference? Thank you :)
@Nikos - I don’t think you will have any issue because the 11 pro is rated for up to 18 hours of video playback while the 13 mini is rated for 17. Considering that your battery has probably aged a bit I believe you’d be getting an equivalent or even better amount of life from the 13 mini. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
After several years of using an iPhone 8 (and an 8 Plus before that), I was aiming for an iPhone 12 or 13 Mini since I really like the comfort of smaller phones and couldn't afford any of the current flagships. I'm perfectly sure that I would have been completely happy with either Mini model. Now, I ended up getting used iPhone 12 Pro - but I still consider the Minis to be the perfect phones for me and my needs. If I would get a single wish for the future iPhones, it would be that the next generation of the iPhone SE is based on the 13 Mini - that would be wonderful!
@Andreas Viklund - I myself having used both the pro (currently 14 pro) and mini phones I would still prefer the mini. The size and comfort is such an important factor for me that I don’t miss anything in comparison to the pro models. I really think they should’ve eliminated the SE and turned it into the mini line.
I just got my iPhone 13 mini and honestly I’m in love with it. I definitely want to hang onto this phone for as long as I can.
@NetNavi - Congrats 🎉 I absolutely love the mini for it’s size and because it doesn’t require any compromise. I too will hang onto it and wait until it’s successor 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
I changed from an iPhone 8 Plus wanting something smaller as I was tired of the big size for the last four years, I was aiming at the 12 Pro due to the price but discovered the 13 mini had some great specs including same camera lenses as last year’s pro, almost same screen size as my previous 8 plus and said fuck it… I have zero regrets, being able to use this with one hand is great plus all the goodies it has.
Just to be clear I have an iPad Pro 12.9 so all my media consumption/ work and studies are done there.
@J Sán - That’s awesome I’m glad you’re loving it. The screen size is pretty much the same and you’re getting a much better specd phone in a much more compact form factor. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I’m in the exact same situation. I’m still using my 8 plus, i’ll get the mini probably next month. But i’m an art student so i have an iPad pro too and a Macbook so i don’t need a big phone anymore. I always liked the small phones but i bought the 8 plus because at the time that was my only device and i liked to read pdf books.
@@izzybell6735 aah you’ll do great! I’m actually an artist living from my work and that’s a perfect setup, mini is great when I do plein air panting, only thing mini misses and I’d look into is the lack of telephoto lens.
@@Jjjcs Yeah, that one I’ll miss about my 8 plus
Fantastic and honest review which I thoroughly enjoyed watching 👍🏽
@Gadgetdad - Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed and I thank you for watching 🙏🏽.
Good job Man, This is definitely my favorite review of this phone!! 😃👍👍
Though I considered switching to the 13 Mini from my old iPhone X, I went for the 13 Pro due to battery reasons. Was longing for a phone that would make me forget about battery, and I‘m more than happy with the 13 Pro‘s battery life. Still, if Apple somehow - magically - would come up with a mini phone which had the same battery life of the 13 Pro, I’d instantly be down for it 😎
@Flo Ryan - That’s totally understandable and yeah with the 13 pro honestly battery is never really a worry especially with my usage. Eventually I’m sure we will get to a point with time where even smaller phones won’t have a battery issue 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
That’s impossible lol you have to compromise the battery for the size you need to study physics
@schum schumi - I understand physics but I also understand that battery technology is constantly improving and eventually we will get to that point 😊.
The great X! XS even better..
Very nice video man! liked your style. Also loved the covers of your phone. It really sucks that apple will discontinue mini but as you said i hope in future they will revive it.
I currently have iphone 12 (totally satisfied with it) and will get 13 mini once iphone 14 is released, hoping the price of mini will come down further.
@Waqas M - Thank you brother 🙏🏽. Yeah I’m sure with the 14 release the price of all the 13 models will drop. It’s a spectacular phone bhai and I’m really hopeful to see a future model at some point.
Fantastic and simple review, great job mate, this is how a smartphone review must be, kudos mate 👍
@Kumar Padma - Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽.
Hi Quasim! This was definitely a great video!! Thank you for being so informative about the grrat benefits of the Iphone mini 13. Totally love the “It’s melts on you” it’s such a great form factor that I’m really considering of upgrading from my Iphone 11 pro max. Thanks again!
@Clouds - Thank you so much for the feedback I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a great phone with the perfect form factor and totally an easy recommendation for me. Thanks for watching the video I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Clouds Qasim*
man this video is so calm and relaxing...nice video
Thank you so much I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Excellent video, well explained, I have the iPhone 12 Pro and I got the iPhone 13 mini and I love it! I had my doubts because the size, but I am happy with it, I haven't test it all the way but I will doing some videos with this phone and see how it works! anyways thank you for amazing review! you got a new subscriber on me, I am learning to make videos and creating content so you are videos are well created! be safe!
@Tech Therapy Guy - Thank you so much for the feedback! The feeling when you get adjusted to the smaller size of the 13 mini is awesome and it makes you realize that it’s all the iPhone you really need. I love it and I really hope apple continues to make it going forward. If you need any help be sure to reach out and I’ll do my best! Thanks for the sub man I really appreciate it and I’ll check out your channel as well.
@@QasimZafar Yes I just stared using my iPhone 13 mini today and it feels different because the sizes but it feels right, so many years using pro max size that I forgot how good it feels having a complete small phone in your pants lol, thank you to you too, like I said I’m a new RUclipsr so I’m learning the roads lol keep in touch!
Can you give a quick comparison between 12 Pro and 13 mini battery life? Is it true the difference is just minimal?
@@frankiepavinato I used both and the battery of the iPhone 13 mini can really hold the battery as the iPhone 12 pro, just minimum different but almost the same to be honest
@Francesco Pavinato - With the 13 pro I’m at a 30% mark by 9/10pm so getting through the day I don’t have to rely on any additional charge however on heavier days even the 13 pro requires a little boost. Hope this helps 😊.
i upgraded to my 13 mini back in june from an iphone 6s and i want to hold on to this phone for as long as i can or until apple decides to make mini iphones again. it is hands down the best phone ever! i never liked bigger phones anyway, my last phone before the 6s was a 5s and i loved and still love those phones. longevity wise, i think i will just get battery replacements down the line so i can enjoy this phone for as long as i can :D
@cashewdriven - I totally agree with you and I myself will be doing the same even though atm I have both my sims attached to the 14 pro for testing so I can do a review of it. After the review I’ll be splitting the lines up so that my mini can be my daily driver again. The 14 pro is great but I do miss my mini and it’s smaller size.
Man I just love your leather back cover of your 13 mini. And I also agree with you on your most of opinions also liked your review. Using the 13 mini for 3 months and I love it.
@Naim Ahmed - I sanded the golden brown apple leather case to give it a distressed look and I definitely love it. Thank you bhai for the feedback! The mini is an awesome phone, I’m going to be getting rid of my pro model now as I simply don’t have a need for it. I’ll just stick to two minis 😊.
Happy for 13 mini. Had SOS purchase so I took SE 3 first, and then I saw it's a no go for me (did the switch). Thought about 12 mini.. but hey i can lower the capacity and take the 13 mini with the same price range. From X to 13 mini. Phone size is normal, not that small and love the camera + night mode. Performance is great and battery life is good. I was surprised that 13 min have cinema mode as well.. Will see how much battery life iOS 15.5 will add. I believe I will switch to iPhone 15 afterwards (but who knows). Had the iPhone X for 5 years. Awesome to see that gaming console!
@christeder - The 13 mini is definitely a great device. It’s only smal when compared to the current lineup but it’s actually a great size. Love the 13 mini and will be keeping it for some time going forward if there’s no replacement. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate.
I really appreciate your videos, very helpful indeed. Although size does matter, I hope Apple continues with mini iPhones for years to come. I got one for my mother.
@Eddy - Hey bud hope you are well! Thank you so much for the feedback, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. I really would love apple to continue the mini models because I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
I guess 13 mini will be the last mini series,from 14 u will not get mini series
@Srini nyk- That’s what the reports suggest but fingers crossed 🤞🏽 as I’m hoping for a continuation of the mini line at some point in the future. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Now I want it more! Thanks for sharing
@roman2011 - it’s perfect and thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.

Luv it, just went from a 2020 SE to the 13 mini and hope to keep it for years
That’s awesome! I had the 2020 SE and from that I went to the 12 mini and now currently with the 13 mini.
I have always liked iPhone as it's always been so compact, smooth to use, powerfull and what not. The best phone ever I joined apple family when I bought 5s and then suddenly from iphone 6 the design were changed. I was using 5s for almost 10 years hoping they would bring the same design back. I was happy with the release of 12 especially 12 mini but reviews of 12 mini were not that great. Last October I bought 13 mini and it's such a great phone. It's like 5s 1 inch taller with edge to edge display. I still remember checking the size of 13 mini by putting my 5s on top of that hoping it not being to big then 5s. People take me as a fool for choosing mini over 13 but honestly I just love it. If the stories of 13 mini being the last compact iphone are true then all 13 mini holders should be proud to own a legendary phone.
@Swapnil Ghag - Couldn’t agree with you more. Loved the 12 mini and now the 13 mini even more. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Was on the fence about deciding between 13 and 13 mini.. and after the new 14 series, which basically have pretty much the same specs as 13, the 13 mini seems so special !
I'll go get it now XD
@Vicky Fritz - That’s awesome 🤩 you’re going to love it and what’s awesome is that you’ll save a $100 since it’s $599 now 😊.
@@QasimZafar Exactly ! It felt like the perfect time to upgrade. Been holding on to my Galaxy S9 for more than 3 yrs now and that was so slim and had the perfect size.. The only issue in the later stages was its battery performance. And that's again the concern here with the mini. But the magsafe battery looks kinda made for the mini too haha.
I can never get myself to hold and use monsters like the pro max.
I love how down to earth this review feels, great video. I'm glad I'm discovering this phone years after it was released because it means I can find it at a lower price. If I were to buy a refurbished 13 mini at, say, a battery health of 80%, would that lower health affect the battery life much in your opinion?
@jyle - I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the feedback. I would say get it as a Apple refurbished product so that way it’ll have a good battery and you’ll get it at a cheap price.
Just got my 13 mini. The size is just right for my small hands. Love the OLED screen.
@Kennedy Sonaco - I absolutely love the size and screen, would’ve loved to see the mini continued 😊.
I was so confused between the iPhone 13 or 13 mini…thanks a lot….🙏🏼
You’re welcome and thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
The leather case from apple now sucks but what caused yours to look like that? I swapped to nomad for my 13 Pro. I miss the 11 Pro size the most.
@The Almighty - I’m perfectly fine with the case, I patinad mine by sanding it down. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I just want a 15 mini pro !! Just a great camera and 3nm node
@Valpro46 - That would be awesome
this time planning for 13 mini along with my pixel 6a. (previously used 4s, 7 and xr)
Vlogasif - That’s awesome! Sounds like you’ll have a great setup. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
I love my mini, I finish the day with 50% battery. A review I watched stated " function vs obsession" which I find is a perfect viewpoint. I don't game, little social media and a medium amount of phone calls. If you're going to game on a phone then that's another discussion. I traded up from an 11 Pro Max, it was heavy and cumbersome. I am hoping they bring the mini back with iPhone 15.
@King50Conan - Your usage is very similar to mine as I too can get through most of my days without any issue. The size and weight difference is awesome when you come from a larger device. Once you get used to this form factor it’s too hard to go back. Glad your loving it and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Mannnnnn I don’t know if I should do the move from my 12 pro max to this baby. I’m so over a huge phone and I don’t really even use the “pro” features on my pro. I only use my phone to text, Apple Pay, email, and music. What do I dooooo. Or do I wait until fall and hope they drop a 14 mini? 😅
@eddygurrr - Well for starters you’ll have the same camera setup except for the telephoto of course. I originally had an iPhone X and also an XR when I decided to switch over to the iPhone SE 2020 and even then I was happy because I’d just grown tired of the larger iPhones. With the 12/13 mini I’m even happier because you get such solid features and you’re really not missing out on much. I really hope there’s a 14 mini but I can’t say for sure. I’d say you’re in a good position to wait since you’ve already got a great phone. If there happens to be a 14 mini then go for it otherwise the 13 mini will still be there 😊. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
There won’t be a iPhone 14 mini.
Great video. Where did you get your brown distressed leather case ?
@B Fahey - I sanded it down myself, I’ve done a video on that separately in my MagSafe playlist. Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@@QasimZafar no way mate. That is awesome 👌
@B Fahey - Yeah it helped me get the look I was looking for 😍.
I’m currently shopping for an iPhone.. I’ve had the 12 Pro and Max models and used the Max model for a year and I’m still struggling to make it feel comfortable on my hands lol.. I use my iPhone for basic use and a bit of media and I’ve been eyeing the 13 mini since there was no drastic change with the 14 lineup
@joeylondonxo - I just did a video on trying out the pro max for two weeks and even though it’s got the bigger screen and added features I still would prefer the mini. Tons of capability in a perfect form factor.
Especially true if you already have a tablet and or a laptop or 2
If this phone had ProMotion I would buy it right away, and the sales would be much better IMO.
I just can't go back to lower refresh rate anymore.
@Cyborg - That’s totally understandable, for me I can go back and forth without an issue but I’d happily take pro motion on a mini 🤩. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Battery is a non issue honestly. My wife's Tesla and my BMW have wireless charging. At home I have wireless charging. I agree on the utility of the iPhone Mini. Large phones are gauche and no longer confer status. Small is the new vibe.
@Billy Boy - I agree if you’re just willing to make that slight compromise everything else goes in the favor of the 13 mini. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Torn between waiting for the new phones in September(hopefully) and getting a 13 mini now
@Farah Diyanah - If you’ve got a decent phone right now then waiting would be good just to see your options otherwise just get it now as it’s an awesome phone.
@@QasimZafar using a 7plus. Still works decent just laggy at times. After years of waiting and seeing I guess I’m just excited cause I finally found a phone that I like. But you’re right, waiting would be the better option :)
@Farah Diyanah - Yeah if you just wait the six months you’ll be able to make a better decision. You never know there could always be a 14 mini and if not the 13 will be cheaper 😊.
Wait. I’m still using SE/2016. Love smaller form factor. Will get 13 mini in 5 months, for $100 cheaper. Especially if no 14 mini, which news says there won’t be.
@Matt H - That’s perfect 😍
This phone should be called iPhone Pocket or something like that. Mini sounds like it's inferior to the regular iPhone. Plus and Max sound like they are superior to the regular iPhone. That's at least partially why the sales are lacking with the Mini.
I'm pretty sure the next iPhone SE will be based on the Mini. Hope so.
@Janne Väätäinen - Yup I totally agree with you and that’s actually a point I brought up in my other video about why the 13 mini failed. I’ll link it down below if you’re interested. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.

My 13 mini lasts me between 1.5 and 2.5 days. I guess I don't really use it that much!
@Quinton Markett - Yeah with light use it’s definitely possible to make it through a day easily. Most of my days I am good in terms of battery. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@Jesmond Borg - By 5pm I’m usually at 40% and the rest of the evening I don’t use it much since I use that time to spend with my family 😊.
Nice review I am now going to buy one
@Robin Wardlow - That’s awesome I’m glad the video helped! You will absolutely love this phone, one handed use on its own is enough to keep me hooked. All the specs packed into this is an added bonus. I’d highly recommend this to anyone. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Hello - I appreciate your detailed and very honest review. I have a question though…it already 8/2023 now….is it still wise to get one considering how quickly Apple introduces updates on their products. Help!
The mini is not going to get a device upgrade for now so you’re good if you want to buy one. What I would do is wait until iPhone 15 release so that you can get it for a better price.
@@QasimZafar thank you Q. Is it also a mini?
No there is no mini coming out this year but since there will be new models the 13 mini will drop in price.
@@QasimZafar you’re simply the best there is Q. Any idea when the 15 is coming out though? I desperately need to trade in my 7S..I stayed with it because I was waiting for a small phone. Your review made the best explanation on the 13.
@nenitaherrera-sioco4636 - iPhone 15 will be out by end of September. The Apple event will be happening second week of September and in that we’ll know the exact date.
I had a se 2020 the battery was terrible I would always need the charg it 2 hours into work and would have to wait a long time just to hit 40% but the 13 mini I just wake up no change needed I can have it on me with out having to think about it
@Peppita Chips - Yeah the battery of the 13 mini is definitely better than the SE 2020 which I also had. With light usage it’s not difficult to get through the day.
out off topic, but what is the name of the gaming console tht u use? and where to buy it? 11:57
@cecimoji7099 - I have the Xbox series s and it can be bought at electronics retailers in store or online.
I’m late to the party and just got my 13 mini on 4/23 but I’m sOooo happy with this phone. Coming from a iPhone 8 and iPhone X the difference is amazing. I love the speed the camera and the battery. 💚📱
Thanx for the review. I love it. 🫶🏽
enjoy your mini! i surely do🕺🤙
Glad you enjoyed the review and I’m sorry I missed your comment. The mini is great and still works perfect for me.
Great vid! I have both the 13 mini and 13 Pro . Both great phones . What icon skins do u have ? Thanx
Thank you for the feedback! Yes both are awesome but definitely prefer my mini. I've got a d-brand matte black skin simply because I don't like the shades of blue of the midnight color.
Thank You Qasim . I’m Going to Trade my IPhone 11. I never Liked The size . Nice Review 🙏😋
@Ronnie Christie - You’ll really love the size of the mini, it’s just perfect along with all the features. Once you adjust you’ll never go back. Glad you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate you watching 🙏🏽😊.
I got IPhone 13 Mini . It’s Amazing. Thanks 🙏 😋👍
@Ronnie Christie - That’s awesome 🤩 I’m glad you love it.
Great review
@RISE MAGICALLY - Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
people loooove to mention how small and nice my green 13 mini is. people are just so used to phones getting bigger and bigger and don't realize that the minis are perfect with little to no compromise
Nice Review man
@Andro F - Thank you I appreciate you watching the video 🙏🏽😊.
Do you think it’s a good shot to buy it now?
@omaomar4170 - I think if you can wait until the iPhone 15 release then you’ll be able to get it for a better price.
Super dope content.. thank you for this experience
@Mich Straaw - Thank you so much for the feedback. Really glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽😊.
that 7/8 plus comparison doesnt really make sense since they have a completely different aspect ratio. a 5.5'' 16:9 display (7/8+) is more comparable to a 6.1'' 20:9 display like on the 13 pro max because of the width.
@Patrick Kudak - I had a 7/8 plus and I’d happily make the switch, definitely wouldn’t be caught up with the overall ratio. For me it just makes sense to go from that to a smaller phone but still be able to have a good screen size along with an improvement in terms of overall features. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
GREAT VIDEO! You are so to the point with the Iphone👌🏼
~NEW SUBSCRIBER~
Inge Nunis - Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching. Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the RUclips family, I really hope all my future content will be just as enjoyable for you 😊.
I'm actually confused between the 13 and 13 mini, wyat if the duze us too small and if i get bored of the size?
OMG !! What is this city at 7:36 ? So beautiful !!
@Felipe Fante - It’s the city of Miami, definitely worth a visit. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
How can I install the icon pack your using on the mini 13?
@Bitaji1234 - I have this: doney.gumroad.com/l/oFEmk
The instructions are at that link too.
Can you please tell me how you changed the icons and styling on your mini? Thanks 😊
@rahulvs4052 - At the link below you’ll find the icon pack I used and also instructions on how to do this.

@@QasimZafar Thanks a lot❤️
I have an iPhone XR and can’t decide between the iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini. If you had to pick, which one would you choose?
The 13 mini for sure
I will get a iPhone 13 mini. ' So i should never let the battery drop below 30% or charge above 80%? Can you recommend me a protector hard case for me who are a slippery guy😅, and a good screen glass protector for the mini?
@Uuuung - Yes if you keep your charge levels between 30-80% it’ll really help your long term battery life. Right now I’m currently using the caudabe sheath case for the 13 mini along with my own Tekmomo glass screen protector. Links are below if you’d like to check them out.

@@QasimZafar Ty!
Do you think 386.91 USD is a bad or good price for a Used Iphone 13 mini with battery health of 86%, and no screen issues or cosmetics issues?
@@Uuuung128GB?
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou yes
@Uuuung - I feel it’s a bit high around $300 would be alright.
Would you recommend me in 13 regular or 13 mini? Not much money
@WAHAB - I’d say go for the mini and if you want to save more than you could even go for the 12 mini as I really loved that too. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
What is the cover on the MagSafe battery pack please ?
@david mcivor - 2 Pack Case Compatible with... www.amazon.com/dp/B09C8L7BH4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
What about battery life on iOS 16? does it changed or it’s still the same?
@shimaa - I haven’t noticed a difference in the battery life on iOS 16.
your clothing its so nice and stylish.
@foxeootking - Thank you I really appreciate the feedback 😊.
What MagSafe charger is that? Thanks
Which one?
I currently using 12 mini, i also heard that 14 series no longer have mini version, no planning to change after a year of using 12 mini, did feel regret i brought it too early. haha
@Lee Soon Fatt - Yeah the 12 mini was great and honestly what you could do is eventually upgrade to the 13 mini if they don’t continue it in the 14 series. There’s always folks on local classifieds letting go of used devices and you could definitely find a great deal in the future for the 13 mini. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
7:40 where's that? what is this place?
@piotrd.4850 - It’s an island in Miami
I don’t want to upgrade from my iPhone 11 but I would get a second phone. And your convincing me how mazing the mini is all you need 👌. I want it to melt in my pocket 😎🙏
@Waskan Herrera - The 13 mini is awesome and a very easy recommendation for me when someone asks. You should definitely consider it. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Hey, please where can I get this wallpaper?
@Charlie M - It’s available on my site and I see that you already got it 😊. Thanks for the support I appreciate it!
Very well spoken
@Medenvenx - Thank you I appreciate the feedback and you watching the video 🙏🏽.
Is there a link for the black case?
@yelitzmartinez4504 - Unfortunately it’s been discontinued by pitaka. Right now I’m using the caudate sheath case in black which is awesome. Down below I’ve put the link to the case and my everyday tech video which showcases that case.

@@QasimZafar Thank you! I've been thinking about switching to 13 mini from my current 15 pro. However, I'm a little hesitant to buy it refurbished from amazon.
@yelitzamartinez4504 - The 15 pro is a great device as I got to test it out when it first launched. However the mini is my daily device and I can’t recommend it enough…I do understand your concern though simply because you don’t know how good the battery health will be on the refurbished one. I’d say wait it out because there are rumors of a new se4 device which should be similar to the 13 mini.
Nice wee phone 🙂
I found something strange while looking for the game you were playing. Someone posted it using your clip as a reason to change from iPhone to Xiaomi.
Is the mini the similar size to iPhone 8?
Watching this on my iphone 7 super amoled display with 32GB ram and 5TB GB rom
@Jerill Marak- You could upgrade to this and be just fine 😊. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Is this the midnight blue colour ?
@E C - I do have the midnight blue but I’ve got a matte black skin on it from dbrand. If you wanna see the midnight blue color check out this video:

Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
Is the 13 mini battery better than the standard 11?
@georgia teethyz- Both are rated for up to 17 hours of video playback but given that the processor is newer I’d say the mini would be much more efficient overall. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏🏽😊.
@@QasimZafar Okay, I see! If I’m going from 11 to 13 pro, will I nice a big battery difference? My current 11 has a battery health of 80… not the best🫣
@georgia teethyz - You’ll definitely notice a substantial difference. It’s rated for 22 hours of playback and considering that your battery health is now 80% it’ll definitely be a change for you.
Quasim I have an I phone 11 and I really want to get the mini 13 I m just hesitant about the screen. I want your advice asap. If apple discontinues this mini then I’ll never be able to buy a mini
@PINKY PANCHAL - There is a slight .7in difference between the screen of the 11 and 13 mini but all you’ve got to do is get used to it and you’ll be just fine. When I switched to the SE I came from an iPhone XR and it was the same difference. That’s what I tell everyone, you’ve just got to use it for a few days and adapt. Once you do you’ll thank yourself for going with the 13 mini 😊. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Thank you so Much for your reply ! I m buying the mini13 tomorrow. Your videos guides us in a calm manner and the content is very good ! 🙏
@PINKY PANCHAL - You welcome and I’m glad you enjoy the videos. I really appreciate the feedback 😊.
Bhai I have 12 mini with 94 BH...
Should I move to 13 mini or wait for 14?
@Syed Bilal Ali - That’s awesome and I’d suggest you wait bhai because rumors are rumors and you never know. Bohat shukria for watching the video I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I am planning to buy iPhone 13 mini, would you recommend?
@Anzil TheAllRounder - Would definitely recommend it, it’s a great device that’s comfortable and very capable. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
I am seriously regretting 14 pro dynamic island is nice display is nice battery is wonderful barely need to charge and charges fast on my 20 watts charger but I find it uncomfortable it’s big heavy bulky sharp edges I miss the xs I don’t care about camera just display speakers stuff like this
Can't see any links but where oh where did you get your Apple MagSafe battery case!?

@gmv prasad- Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
Is that a 12 mini case on the 13 mini I love the saddle brown
@Reggie Lopez - It’s actually the golden brown case for the 13 mini it’s just now aged with time. When I first got it I sanded it down to accelerate the patina process and now it looks great. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
@@QasimZafar sweet! I love that ! Saddle brown is my fav between that and the golden brown . Super creative! Really enjoyed the video
@Reggie Lopez - Thanks so much! I also loved the saddle brown but I’ve gotta say the golden brown is also great and ages really well, great option if you’re getting the 13 mini. I’ve got a video on the sanding process in my MagSafe wallet if you’d like to give it a go for yourself.
great presentation 🌹
Thank you I appreciate the feedback and you watching 🙏🏽.
It is misleading to compare the screen size of the 13 mini and the plus phones with 5.5 inch screens because of aspect ratios. Those older phones have larger wider screens
Future iPhone SE.
@Ebbs - Definitely agree especially since the SE 3 wasn’t that special. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.
