At that point, those iPhone Minis pretty much just love each other. After all, they are a dying breed.
Agreed, they should make love to each other.
5:35 The 12 Mini really loves the 13 Mini!
@@TheOfficialBaharaByte clingy :3
Me watching this on 12 mini
We just witness a love story of a dying echo of the phones.
I miss the 16:9 phones tbh. Since phone companies are trying to make their displays taller and taller like a telephone. And design cameras pointlessly bigger.
It's kinda amazing how the Google Fold looks like an 16:9 phone again
Interested in a small 16:9 phone with actually usable performance? Check out Balmuda Phone
The width on 16:9 phones is dope
The 6.3 inch 16:9 phones were big af, with those bezels. Look at the Galaxy Mega. It is much much bigger even than the S24 Ultra.
@@batmanatkinson1188 If modern phones were 16:9, it wouldn't need a bigger size to fit components.
Honestly, I just like the consistency. So companies stop making those iphone 5 parody looking phones
I am still using a Samsung galaxy note 7 to this day because it has a nice 16 by 9 screen which is large. I also hate that with newer phones most videos have these annoying black bars that do nothing.
i have the 13 mini and i am so much more satisfied with it compared to when i had my 11 (which i still had for 3,5 years). only switched bc of size and i will stick with my 13 mini forever. if anything, i want a flagship mini again and not an se, it's really not comparable at all.
Yes my brother used to have an S3 samsung phone and my mom also had like a samsung phone. I used to be so amazed when my brother got my mom's phone and showed me the Android beam. That brrbrrr sound when you press that beam button is so good damn got me memories
Just want to say, the base S23/24 and small iPhone 15/Pro are basically the same size/footprint as the Zenfone 10. Still big, but as compact as it gets nowadays
Zenfone had 68.1mm width whereas 15 Pro and S24 are 70.6mm. Also worth noting none have 1440p, but the iphone has the highest resolution at 460ppi, followed by the zenphone at 445 and s24 at 416.
@@RiqMoran And the 12/13 mini are 64.2 mm wide. That's a difference of ~4 mm to the zenphone, with the zenphone only having ~2.5 mm difference to the 15/pro and s23/24. The zenphone is closer in width to "standard" size phones than the minis. In terms of height and weight, the zenphone is identical to other standard size phones, being 1.5 cm taller and 1 oz heavier than the mini, just like the standard and pro iphones and the base galaxy s phones.
I have a SE 2020 and gotta love how usable it's with one hand.
watching this on my 12 mini. i got it about 6 months ago and i love it so much, the size is perfect, and with my usual usage habits i don’t have many issues with the battery life.
It would be cool if Apple made a limit run of smalls phones every other year.
iPhone sales down 10%. Could be the 10% who wants small phones. They don't sell well, but they would still sell.
no cause there isnt much on the android end either
@@echoingdespairthe Galaxy S24 and the iphone 15 pro are the only ones holding on the compact form factor
Nah, it's because our habits with phones are changing.
We don't upgrade as much as we used to and manufacturers are putting longer support timeframes on devices.
Also they release iphone 12 mini more late than iPhone 12 and 12 pro so that also crippled the sale
Ive heard before that a lot of ppl straight up didint know they even existed and wouldve bought one if they did
been rocking a 13 mini since 2021, loving it. plan to keep it as long as I can, cause the size is the great, and i just feel burdened by a big phone, I came from a moto g7 power, which feels like a behemoth compared to this thing, but small compared to modern phones.
imo, it's about the perfect size for a phone
iPhone minis were the nuts! Great video dude
The iPhone 12 mini microphones seems to capture a larger audio specter than the 13 mini. The sound is larger and deeper.
25 seconds in, you switched to the 13 mini’s camera and called it a “downgrade” - it’s just overexposed, which is in your control 🤣
the mic though.
@@calyxl43 It sounds like he went from a studio mic to the phone’s mic. If the other phone’s mic actually sounds that good I should rather buy that than a professional mic haha
@@asinglefrenchfry i mean i don't see why he would go to phone mic if he has a studio mic, considering the only reason he swapped camera is because of showing the pixel phone but im not sure because usually iphone mics are actually better so
@@calyxl43That’s my thought too, usually iPhone mics are better. I don’t know why he would switch the mic either, perhaps to emphasize the effect of switching the camera
Better? Than a studio mic? I’m definitely misunderstanding the point here
I love my RED iphone 13 mini, and i will hold onto it as long as i can
i just traded my black 12 Mini in for a 15 Pro and at first I didn't think there was gonna be that much of a difference other than size, but I was very wrong lol. Pro Motion is way more noticeable than I thought it'd be, I also forgot what it was like to have a larger battery. I always had to charge my Mini at least once throughout the day, the 15 Pro I can get home and it'll be at 60%. The always on display is a nice plus too, I had it years ago on my Droid Ultra and it's nice to see it on an iPhone finally. I loved my Mini though, I used it for 3.5 years and I would have gone longer if Verizon wasn't running such a good deal right now. I was not excited about any of the new iPhones but after using the 15 Pro I can say it was definitely worth the upgrade.
Same here
I did the same and returned it. I couldn't get over how big it was. One handed use is better than battery though I hate to say it because battery sucks after 3 years
I have an iPhone 13 mini, and I don't plan on giving it up anytime soon.
The 6.1" iPhones are significantly larger than the iPhone 6/6s/7/8 were. 5.8" X/Xs/11 were much closer in size to those old iPhones.
I think you made a mistake, the iphone 11 is also 6.1 inches. And also because of the bezels and and chassis, like the xr, they appear chunkier than the rest.
@@samuelhere41 The poor people iPhone 11 was 6.1", the iPhone 11 pro was 5.8"
I loved my 12 mini and ALMSOT got the 13 just due to the better battery and soc. The whole 12 series was plagued by bad batteries and poor 5g optimistic. So my 12 mini battery life was a stretch for what I used to for.
Also I live in Florida and worked as a delivery technician for medical supply company, so I was out in the heat and use GPS a lot which not only ate the battery up on the phone because of the slow down and get extremely hot at times. That was more just an issue of the area I live in and how I used it but every phone I've had afterwards has not had that issue.
That's said I would not mind picking up a 13 mini of the backup phone and just because I really enjoyed the size of that particular iPhone. The only issue I ever ran into in terms of using it was the fact that I have bigger thumbs and sometimes it would either not register or have a lot of missed inputs due to it thinking I'm hitting two things at once. Outside of that it was a pretty great product.
I’m one of those who laments the passing of the IPhone Mini, I used a tablet or a laptop when I want to get really involved with screen use. The few times I’m forced to use my phone the Mini was OK but I wanted the 3X zoom camera so when Verizon offered me an upgrade to the 14 Pro I couldn’t refuse. I got a 800$ credit for my 2 year old 12 Mini but I still miss the light weight and easy one hand usability of my old 12 Mini. I guess you can’t have everything
I have similar needs, using iPhone 13 mini combined with S23 Ultra. Each phone is great for specific needs.
using the 12 mini (mint green colour) love it 🎉🎉
Mine is the boring white lol (neutral color because i love changing cases)
@@RideOnTimePH white phones look the best imo, I got a white phone (supposedly blue but oh well) and it looks very nice
My dad has a green 13 mini, I'm definitely snatching it after he upgrades
I had to use a galaxy S8 recently because my phone was getting fixed and it was insane how much easier it was to use just because I could reach things
I got the s8 at launch. I loved it. First time I got a samsung flagship at launch. I got sick and tired of people asking if they could see my "see through" phone (because samaung poorly advertised it)
@@austinostergaard2187 see through??
@GameOver-nm2us Yeah in the marketing for the s8, samsung made it look like the phone was translucent.
Proximity sharing is a cool feature enabled by the U1 UWB chip
Dude's selfie with the Pixel 8 Pro legit looks like a deep fried meme compared to the iPhones ngl
selfie looks like an actual dslr shot on the pixel💀 can you get your eyes checked please
the iphones extremely oversaturate it making it look like a phone photo
I love your voice and your accent man
Hey frokfrdk, Ive just found out your channel and started watching you a lot more. Cant believe I never found this really entertaining channel and how you dont have millions of subs. Subbed :)
I can’t EVEN 👀 THIS NEWER MORE UPSCALE AND UP TO DATE MODEL…that would be more evolved however more invisible for ME 😂
i used to use an iphone 13 mini in green then switched to p8p i miss the size but i like the p8p size
I actually own and use the green iPhone 13 mini.
I love the fold's outside screen. it's the perfect size for one-handing. samsung should just cut off the top half of a galaxy fold and turn it into a phone! call it like "samsung galaxy S25 mini" or something. They used to do that with the S series so bringing it back wouldn't be out of the question.
The Pixel a series are close in concept (they are a good bit bigger), (6a 7a 8a) They run the same chip and camera as the higher end models so there is really no sacrifice, just cheaper and smaller than the average phone, But I think the regular Pixel 7 is the perfect size for a phone.
The notch in 12 mini looks better, although it is wider, but it is not deep as the 13 mini which is more important as the side direction is already wasted.
True, I think it's better
i use a 12 mini and im so sad that they will be gone in some time is really sad. i love this phone because the size. this phone didnt fell out of my hand and my old phone was really big and i was dropping it couple times a week
Crazy how 6.1 inch screens are considered “small” now
I am still using a behemoth galaxy note 7 to this day and it still keeps a pretty good charge!
Not gonna lie you're underrated AF, don't get me wrong 18K is a lot but, for how in depth and professional you sound I'm very surprised you don't have more Subs, you remind me of bit of dankpods when he started, keep up the good work m8.
R.I.P. iPhone mini
Very nice video, highly appreciated your production quality
13:39 i just love how iphone pictures look ai generated, while pixel is fire
Hehehe I have a green 13 mini, although I will never sell it. I refuse to use large phones, and green is my favourite colour, so the green 13 mini I had to get now or never.
The mini has a weak battery and is not good for many people
@@فارسالتميمي-ع7غ Many people are simply addicted to smartphones and spend too much time watching screens.
I’m using right now my mini 12 and waiting to stop working for open my brand new 13 mini green 512 GB!!! 😊 mini FOREVER!!!
I still use the old iPhone SE 1gen and iPhone 12 mini. The small size is amazing
I like your hang out w/ u style just letting ur thoughts flow, stream of consciousness rather than intending to pre-lead us in any certain way - lets me absorb my personal take on the choices. Thnx also for taking the time for the quick back n forth camera quality compare - no phones were harmed due to drops, cause they weren’t chunky phablets right? 😅
No drops for these guys, any scratches were done by their previous owners. Glad you enjoyed!
wow when you showed the selfies... you're absolutely gorgeous
Watching this on my 12 mini. I don't really care about the battery life, I just don't like the bigger iPhones (i came from the first gen SE and Nexus 5 which is my backup phone). It is not really too bad because older iPhones have worst battery life even when new.
Personally, I think the S24 is the perfect balance between specs and size.
I just love how Samsung doesn't really cheap out on their regular models unlike some brands
But I heard the Samsung S25 is going to be bigger,
while the Google Pixel 9 pro is going to be smaller like the regular
I think the problem with the “mini” iPhones are the battery life. Most people thought it was just an overall worse product, it didn’t really have to do with the size. When people buy a new phone, they want the better option.
It’s like when the iPhone 8 and 10 came out at the same time. The 8 was actually a pretty great phone but people only cared about the 10. It’s kinda human psychology to think more expensive = better.
I honestly prefer smaller phones. I have the 15 pro and I can’t reach the top either unless I move my hand. It’s not unbearably annoying but I wouldn’t mind a 15 mini if that existed.
We need an Iphone Pro Mini. With how small bezels are getting you can fit a lot of screen in that size. And power efficiency is also improving.
3 cameras with a small device looks stupid and takes up space
@@فارسالتميمي-ع7غ three camera's on the S22/23/24 looks normal so idk what ur on about
@@GameOver-nm2us Pro devices
@@فارسالتميمي-ع7غ yes? What's your point here
Best phone Apple has made in forever!
i upgraded from iphone 12 mini to iphone 15. i miss the compactness of the mini but i love the 15 so much more.
Still using a pink iPhone 13 mini and I'll say it's just right for me.
I started with a 2nd hand iPhone 4, then bought a new 1st gen SE, then a new 12 Mini and that is my current phone. I don't care to use anything larger but I am afraid that train has left the station.
the iPhone 12 mini with its big notch, it's basically impossible to open the control center unless you are really precise
Best jazz music ever.
you're lowkey like dankpods nowadays 👌👌
I have green 13 mini. Still using it till today. 💚
I bought a $300 Samsung galaxy A54 in October 2023. Eventually start bending it in certain ways and then the charging port took a crap. I went to Walmart and spent 150 bucks on the iPhone SE 2023 and I love it other than the battery life. I want to really get the newest S24
You can turn the “namedrop” or the airdrop feature off so they wont share stuff between themselves anymore.
The small one is like Nokia phone in the early days. It sat pefectly comfy in the hand. Very discreet, pocket size. New phones too big & thick, that's why people keep dropping them & cracking the screens.
yeah, i miss small phones. that is why i used the 5s for a pretty long time, until app support stopped.
i now have a s23, which is a pretty small phone, but alot bigger than the 5s. overall, small > big
They revived the 5S with the SE1, the best small iPhone with old designs, but since I was a previous user of the 7 Plus and before that the iPad 2, I do not like small devices unless you use them for a little while or as a device for work.
i still use a 2016 iPhone se lol. its just an iPhone 6s in an iPhone 5s body. its perfectly fast, the camera is fine, i like smaller phones, but the battery lasts like 2 hours when you use the phone. Im going to buy a green 512GB iphone 13 mini used in about a year and use that for the rest of my life.
hello from another part of the world! Cuxhaven,Germany.
I have a 13 mini and plan on keeping it as long as I can. The only bad thing I have noticed is the battery life has tanked. But it charges so fast that I don't really care.
And then there's me who has Dinner plate sized hands and needs a larger phone. I love my Pixel 7 Pro.
No way you used "Sea Shanty 2" from Runescape at 19:10 l0l wooooooot (I thought i'm just flashing)
W vid
My 13 mini is still so good, the camera is great except the crazy oversharpening issue in low light. Battery is suck because it’s only 78% BH.
How long have you had the phone because I've been using a Samsung galaxy note 7 for about 6-7 years and the battery health is at 84%
@Noahyaboii I had this phone for 18 months, I use fast charger regularly and magsafe, so it gets really hot while charging.
@@thieninh4153 That may be the cause. i recommend a slow charger. Slower charging may take longer but will keep the battery working for a longer period of time. Also wireless charging is a heating issue in general so try to keep the phone in an air conditioned environment
I daily drive a 12 mini and it’s amazing
The only problem with my 12 mini is that i have to keep it on low power mode to save the battery. I can’t believe e they sacrificed a battery. It’s like they were saying “we dont want to make a mini but all you guys are asking for it so we will give you the size but with a suck battery”.
rip zenfone and the minis frfr
OSRS music mentioned!
While comparing the cameras of the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, to me it was something like seeing “Watch Dogs” versus “Watch Dogs 2”.
The fact that there is no new iPhone mini is the reason I didn’t buy an iPhone the last 3 years. And I used to buy a new phone every year or 2 years since the 90s
my green mini is coming today - upgrading from the 15 pro max to the 13 mini for digital detox
Social Distancing? Or better AirDrop Distancing xd. (PS you can turn that feature off)
carriers in america dont support multiple SIM cards for the same number like in UAE, if they did every house hold would have at least one mini phone
I’m using a 16 GB iPhone 5s and still can do almost everything, although it’s starting to be unsupported by many apps.
13 mini didn’t sell well because people already bought the 12 mini. And the people who buy 12 minis are the one who tends to keep their phone for longer period of times. Also minis iPhone considered a “failure” compared to other iPhones. But I’m sure it outsold the entire Galaxy S lineup at the time. Too bad Apple decided to give up on it. They should re release mini iPhone as a SE model and update it every 2-3 years. Such a missed opportunity
For me, with big hands, I choose iPhone 15 pro instead of max because it was smaller and I expected worst battery, now the battery goes through 5-6h of battery on one charge(my last android only did 4h)
Nothing phone 1 was
Clearly you didn't take good care of your phone's battery because I am still using a Samsung galaxy note 7 which is a 6-7 year-old android and it still keeps a good charge.
The iPhone Mini series are cool but why are you handsome
Are you a niagara launcher user?
i really like small phones i would buy iphone 12 mini but it's little expensive for me
Another example of a small phone is the cubot pocket which is my phone !
Can you compare an iPhone XR with and iPhone XS
I’ve had a cherry red iPhone 13 mini for about 2 years now and it is held up tremendously. The battery life is very good for a phone its size. And it works just as good as normal size phone. Very discreet and slides easily into your pocket. Also the size is perfect. It fits perfectly in my hand and never slips out.
same thing over here except pink color
Great video
While it is true that Apple's phones get longer official updates, I think it is important to point out that Android phones often get far longer support by means of custom roms. Once Apple's support ends then that's it, many Android devices can be kept up to date even if the manufacturer can no longer be bothered with them.
Also these days Google and Samsung give 7 years of OS updates instead of 6 with Apple.
@@Abdulrahman11799 That's a good point and so many people are locked into the mindset that only Apple provides long term software support that they are unaware that's no longer the case.
@@Abdulrahman11799 Apple can support devices with 6 or more RAM for 7 years, especially the iPhone 14 Pro series.
As an iPhone user, I wish more androids got day 1 updates though. I think Apple users take that for granted.
That’s a feature on iOS 17 the hold nearby to share
I really hope that either the SE 4 adopts a mini form factor, or that we’ll get a proper Zenfone 11 with none of that ultra crap.
How good the pixel 8 pro I am thinking of getting one currently. I am gonna go from a samsung a53 to pixel 8/8 pro
I mean I have a samsung Exynos s23fe and that over heats to shit. Pixel is also based on that same thing so I think you should get like a 8 gen 4 chips as these are cool and are much better
@@Unknown-64209 ok
I really really hope they bring back the minis i mean fuck it increase the price, its the size that matters for me
Ps going from an se to a 13 mini felt like a huge jump in size idk how yall use them big ass phones
i use dumb phone now (kyocera duraxv) and honestly never want to go back to a smartphone, but if for ever some reason i had to, im still holding on to my iphone 13 mini. (iphone 3/4 was peak size imo and the 12/13 mini are still too big)
You holding the 13 Mini looks like me holding the 15 Plus xD I guess I have large hands
1stly make small phones :- Displays are small and battery is bad 😢
And made big phones :- displays are huge and can't use phones, mini version is best😂😂😂
Just bought my 3rd 13 mini green 255g!
I’m 6 ft2 and I own a regular iPhone 12, and I think it’s the perfect size
iPhone 4/5 was the perfect size and if it had a back shaped like the galaxy s3 it’d be perfect for one handed use
SE1 and 5S are the two best small devices produced by Apple
I'm kinda tempted to get one to try iOS, but I kinda already have a Pixel 4 for small phone vibes, similarly sized and still pretty fast, 90hz too. I have other phones but it's currently my daily till the small version of the pixel 9 pro comes out
maybe a wierd question, but how come all your phones screens are equally scuffed? they all (iphones) have those fairly long and deep scratches
did you get em like that or do they simply live rough lives in your pockets?
I bought them used like that, also my Pixel 8 Pro in the video is in perfect condition
@@frokfrdk yea the comment was more directed at the iphones, thanks for clarifying tho!
The harder the Gorilla Glass become, the more scratch prone it is. It's the physical of how strong or weak the glass is.
I'm a big guy. The Pro Max is comfy. I still prefer petite though and am on the 13 mini harder than a boomer on a Thai wife.
At 14:10 i was wondering why the flooded and vlosed the stairs... But at 14:28 i realized its a stairs-shaped dam for easy maintenance access 🤯
i wish theyd make a top notch version but with a smaller screen size option, but knowing people love screens so big that cant even fit in their pocket, this wont happen ever
