That intro music is sick! Surprised so many videos are coming out on the 13 mini after 2 years. It's truly the pinnacle of the iPhone 5 design language and sizing. Not too large, not too small, just right and actually easy to use with one hand. I hope the form factor comes back again.
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.
I’ve used almost every iPhone up to the 14 pro max and I still believe that the 13 mini/normal 13 is the best IPhone ever made currently because of its convenient size, it’s not ridiculously large like the plus and pro max versions and beyond but for me, the 13 fits perfectly in many pockets and hands all while having amazing performance and camera quality.
Nice review bro! I am considering on getting the iPhone 13 mini. Being an android user my whole life. I recently got a MacBook air m1 which made me consider getting an iPhone to take advantage of the ecosystem.
I bought my first iphone which is the 13mini two months ago. I already have an ipad air and I want to gradually enter the apple ecosystem. Ive been eyeing this phone since last yr because of its size, coming from s20 fe (exynos). I love its small size and I dont think ill be coming back to bigger size phones.
I’ve been using an iPhone XS since that phone launched years ago. I think it has only crashed maybe once or twice over all these years and is still running fairly well today. It’s not snappy like my parents new iPhones but it still does everything I’ve ever needed it to. The cameras are starting to show their age but other than that this has been the best phone I’ve ever owned. My parents had iPhone XRs but they had nothing but issues with those so I’d say never buy the cheapest Apple option.
To be fair all iPhone generally performs very well for years and are very reliable and that’s part of their appeal. If you did upgrade, I think the major reasons would be battery life, better camera, storage and a better quality screen. If you want something now, either the 13 or mini would be fine, or you could wait to see what the 15 lineup offers and then make the final choice. But a general rule of thumb especially with iPhones.
Great and important video! The reason I switched to Apple is that it introduced the mini version which I love so much. Until Apple doesn't release another small flagship I'm holding to my iPhone 13 mini as long as it's possible. I really do hope that in a year or two the mini lineup will come back to us even if it didn't sell as well as everyone hoped for. Despite that, there's still a big market for mini lovers like me. There's many people out there who need and want a small yet powerfull phone for various reasons... I am a disabled person so I need to have a small yet powerful flagship which I can use with one hand. This is precisely what I have since I switched from my previous Android device (Samsung Galaxy S10e). Although I still don't feel any reason to upgrade in the near future (although I do regret buying the 128gb over the 256gb version) I'm sure that within the next couple of years there will come a time that I would love my Iphone to have all the newest features in the small size of my current 13 mini. This size is simply perfect for me. I really hope and believe that Apple will remember about us in the near future despite all that we hear... All we can do is hope 🙏🙏🙏
This is soo true! I do think there’s still a market for this smaller form factor. Thanks for sharing! I wouldn’t hold my breath for Apple bringing it back😢 but I guess never say never.
Very good review! Currently I'm planning to switch from android to this because this is the only compact phone on the market, and I'm tired to use these huge phablets wich barely fit in my pocket. I do expect some headache due to the switch after many years on android though. As for the refresh rate, my current phone supports 90hz, but I still use it on 60 and have no problem with it.
You correct about the headache part but once you get used to it, you might not be able to ever go back lol! That’s how apple gets you! In my experience, 60Hz is not a deal breaker, sure 90hz is good to have but it’s not needed in my case at least.
Might be a learning curve but coming from an former android user myself, I’ve never looked back. But to be fair, the android experience has massively improved since I left.
I really messed up by getting the 14 Pro… now i got a cracked screen and im being told its going to be $400 to fix when the new glass is $50 and it takes maybe 3 mins to change out…😢
Oh wow! Sorry to hear that! The price difference is crazy though! Mine fell literally the second day of purchase face down, luckily I had the screen protector and a case on. For sure it would have broken otherwise.
I have 12 mini for 2 years and battery life has become a huge problem. I'm considering changing it to 13 mini but i really worry about the battery life. My 12 mini accumulator dropped to 86%. And now I need to charge it twice a day (I use SNS, scroll Instagram but no games or RUclips). I wonder will the story repeat with 13 mini? Will it's battery drop the same way?I need light and small device since I have some problems with wrists. What would you recommend -13 mini or 13 base model?
The 13 mini is definitely better than the 12 mini in terms of battery life. I almost got the 12 mini but held back for that exact reason. However, the base 13’s battery is even better than the 13 mini so if you’re okay with a bigger phone I’d recommend the 13 solely for the battery life. The 13 mini is my current phone and I’ve been using it since launch pretty much and I get away with a single charge for the whole day. I don’t play games but I’m receiving, revieing emails and replying work messages on teams through out the day and will consume some videos from time to time through the day. But if you go heavy, like you’re travelling and are browsing a lot watching a lot of videos etc, you’d have to switch to power saver to get a descent battery life out of it. I hope this helps your purchasing decision😊
I understand, the 12 mini was the only I almost got but saw that the battery life was bad, and the 13 mini is considerably better but the 13 is even better for battery life than the 13 mini, so I guess the few extra dollar would be worth if battery is more important.

Exactly! I love the size so much. But sadly I don’t think it’s coming back anytime soon, the mini didn’t do well in sales 😢

I 100% agree with you. Hands down the best iPhone I’ve ever used! The size, battery life and storage sold me! It’s a gem!

I totally understand, just be aware that it Apple trap too lolz! They want you walled in. But iPhone 13 mini is the best value option right now.
@@seriultgmx Yeah hahaha they really trap you up. But can't deny their products are really good quality.
It is the best iphone you can buy period. Get an anker charger and its perfect
Fax!
Detailed review!!! Love the humour 😅
Got one a week ago and I’m very impressed honestly 😊
I bought my first iphone which is the 13mini two months ago. I already have an ipad air and I want to gradually enter the apple ecosystem. Ive been eyeing this phone since last yr because of its size, coming from s20 fe (exynos). I love its small size and I dont think ill be coming back to bigger size phones.
I’m a simple man. I see an Ultgmx post, I watch
nice video!, coming from an iPhone 8 and kinda hate big phones.
I came from the iPhone 6s and it was the form factor that made me stay with that phone for years so I totally get where you’re coming from.
rocking the 10x max right now but really thinking about buying the 13 mini… great video
Great review i’ve been considering the 13 mini for a while This will definitely be my next iphone
Great video! Keep up the work brother!
Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!

This will definitely be my next iPhone or maybe I might just get the regular 13 instead

Love those phone clips. Love that you’re showing shots of the phone while talking about it they are so crisp and amazing. New sub here. 🤍👌🏼
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate this! Definitely more to come!
This was a great review and you've convinced me to switch to the 13 Mini from my bulky android phone.
Might be a learning curve but coming from an former android user myself, I’ve never looked back. But to be fair, the android experience has massively improved since I left.

@@seriultgmx thank you so much for such the detailed answer! You helped me a lot!
It was all fun and games until one day I realize its too small a screen and too short a battery life
I understand, the 12 mini was the only I almost got but saw that the battery life was bad, and the 13 mini is considerably better but the 13 is even better for battery life than the 13 mini, so I guess the few extra dollar would be worth if battery is more important.
Intro song name please
So sorry for the late reply. It’s called Big game by Tatami.
@@seriultgmx Thanks
Clean the oil smudges mate goddamn.
Even after wearing gloves too
Hahaha! Trust it was cringe for me too! But it would be better next time! Thanks for the feedback!
Wth! 124,000 unread e-mails.. almost the 986 so that's 124,986 E-Mails. Man's popular
