The fact that we have the 12Pro Max’s main camera in the Mini with a good battery life is insane if you think about it. Suddenly it’s a video monster that’s amazingly pocketable.
But I'm not gonna get it because it doesn't have 120 hz. I know you think it's a minor feature that you won't notice, but I have a s21 and I most DEFINITELY notice it.

@αακαѕн yeah, I had a 12 mini and it was juuust not quite good enough battery life. But I was using it as a big phone. However with the new iPad mini, I’ll go back to a 13 mini and use the iPad for most things.
The give the mini a lot of love on Vergecast. The only thing they don’t like (expectedly) is the battery life. Honestly, I would have gotten a mini, but battery life is a big deal for me, and spending the last 18 months with the SE2 has left me with a distaste for bad battery life.
I’m loving my 13!! I upgraded from the SE 2020 and the difference is amazing especially the battery life! My only regret now is I should’ve went with the mini because I loved the small size but I’m getting used to this size. The blue color looks awesome
Apple totally neglected security no underscreen sensor tech etc but my choice was based on software support longevity that's about it but I still feel they overcharged for an under equipped modern phone

I have an iPhone 5! Still working good but I guess it would be a huge upgrade to get a 13 or 13pro as I like to take pictures with my phone. Thank you for your informative review!
I think Apple will keep making the mini. There are still millions of people using iPhone SEs, 7s, 8s and Apple is counting on those people to upgrade to the Mini.
Last year I decided to go into iPhone SE 2 due to budget reasons, but i'll try to get the iPhone 13 mini around Q3 2022... I love the concept of compact phones
Might just be me, but cinematic mode in reality is even more underwhelming than in Apple's idealized demo. I agree it's better than Samsung's video portrait mode, but that's such a low bar, and just calling it "cinematic" isn't doing the trick.
I’ve had the 13 mini since it launched. It’s a strange thing. Sometimes it’s normal. Other times it’s extraordinary. Sometimes I’ve had it for 7 hours screen on and have 30 - 40% left. Rarely it’s even better by leaving it on low-power mode and having it on 4G LTE.
@@arjunys489 i know bro ! But i am sure you would also agree on the fact that ‘MKBHD’ do not focus much on battery life in his reviews, saying from our our Country’s prospective ! I hope you agree on that !
Upgraded from iPhone X to the 13 mini. I was torn between the mini and the pro but I really wanted to give the mini size a try before apple discontinues it. And the lower price makes upgrading sooner a little more justifiable.
@@jehan-vj9qr I ended up returning the mini for the 13 pro. The mini didn’t feel like a big upgrade from the X. The smaller screen was hard to see which I should’ve considered since I have bad eyesight and it felt unmanageable to use and type on. The 13 pro felt like I huge upgrade with 120hz. If you’re unsure about the mini then imo, give it a miss.
I went for the iphone 13 with 256g. I REALLY hope that going from my 3 year old LG V40 THINQ (big phone) to the 13 won’t be too disapointing, as I’m used to phablets. I figured that with the extra that I’m saving from not jumping up to the Pro Max, I can maybe put towards getting an apple watch!! 🤞 We’ll see.
@@TashaTheQween I got starlight/white because it would look better with the phone case I have: the beautiful Sonix "Illusion" case. I love it! It's the only sparkly/rainbows/aesthetic one I could find that had Magsafe! And I think (I hope) I'll appreciate the 256 gigs more than I'd appreciate the telephoto lense on the Pro.

@@TashaTheQween For sure! For a min there I thought about buying a 12 instead of a 13. Not so much because of price, but because the 12s had purple haha!! But I’m very pleased with my white so far. There does seem to be some dust accumulation around the cameras sometimes that I need to blow out, but other than that, I’m good with it.

There should be a settings menu in the camera app itself so you can change settings directly from the camera app while also making it more organized.
