    I hope they bring back the mini because it's such a good size, i think it was a mistake to remove it from the line up and replace it with a plus model that actually adds no benefits

    The target market for mini phones are not those who spend hours creating content or watching videos and playing games. They’re people who want a portable, lightweight phone to message occasionally and phone people a couple of times a day. So the battery is more than enough for a couple of days. Not everyone is a content creator, or social media slave.

    I bought my iphone 13 Mini in Apr 2023 , 512GB Product Red , which look so sporty red!! I read many good comments and i decided to get one before apple discontinued . Yes , is very nice and powerful Mini Iphone. Having this phone feels like going back to previous original iphone handy portable size when big phone is yet to be popular . Generally i feel that the charging speed using 20W adapter by Iphone is good and relatively fast enough . It has been long time i miss the feeling of holding such handy phone , whereby we used to use Nokia or blackberry phone form factors. 60Hz refresh rate is good enough for this screen size . Been using 4 mths and still very happy owning this little beast !! You can also get many types of casing on line for as low as S$2 plus with magsafe !!! I have now at least 5 casing cover for my little beast , simply love it and you feel so light in your pocket . If you are considering having a SE or 13 Mini , go for the 13 Mini if you have the budget.

      More importantly, I don't use my phone as a TV for RUclips on it like I did on my 11.. which is HIGHLY addictive. I just use it for what its meant to be: 'mobile'. And whenever I chill out on RUclips I use a tablet or laptop etc. So I'm less addicted to the phone overall and only use it for capturing moments and communication.
      I've also noticed how big phones are like completely old fashioned?! Remember the days of chunky, blocky computers! Phones should be as little as Blackberrys were! They should just do good photography and are mobile (depending on your needs obviously as some might want a big screen for google maps if travel a lot)

As I am retired at home I use my iPad (Pro and mini) or my iMac to do most of my “stuff”. When travelling I take most of my phots with a camera. I take videos with the phone, Camra P3, and the results are superb - often adding the Moment anamorphic lens. I ridge a bicycle a lot and Ethel size fits comfortably into my bike jersey rear pockets.

    I think battery life is great on this small phone.
    When I use Google Maps, I plug in my iPhone
    When I’m walking and use Google Maps, then I’ll use it for maybe 10-15 minutes and that’s good enough
    It charges fast, so no complaint about that. I really love my iPhone 13 mini, coming from an iPhone 12 mini

    The battery might not be the best but for someone that averages 3 hours of screen time a day then it's fine. And honestly you shouldn't be staring at your phone for like 6 hours a day anyway. Also even on days that I'm on my phone longer I'll just plug it in. during the day, problem solved lol

    Thinking heavily about downgrading from my 13PM. Maybe I’d find more use out of a tablet sized phone if there was any software changes that allowed more use. But there isnt. So im left carrying around a tablet sized phone for no other reason other than the great battery life. Not having the pro cameras and at least a 90 hrtz refresh rate really does suck if i do the switch. Man, I’d buy a mini sized pro so quick.

    So what about all the stuff about battery life ? No problem, when in my car I charge my phone and small portable power banks can be found anywhere these days. I'd rather have a small phone and keep a power bank handy when it's needed than have to hold a larger phone when making calls .
    Just wish they'd kept headphone jacks on these newer phones .

    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.
