Seeing the iPhone 13 Mini get a battery upgrade was one of the most exciting things about this year's iPhone event. The form factor of the Mini is incomparable but last year's mini had the deal breaker of its disappointing battery life. Seeing it suddenly be able to match the battery life of some larger phones suddenly makes it such a compelling device for me now.
@@douglassantos8918 I luv my 12 mini, battery life can suck sometimes tho, but if you get the Apple MagSafe battery pack that can be a cheaper fix to recharge your iPhone instead of getting the 13 mini
@@akshitbharti7109 oh really tbh I always thought they should just have the 13 13 pro and 13 pro max a mini we all know was going to have a small battery and not as good battery life
the transition to the apartment to the train station was sick as hell! loved the 12 mini review from last year and love this review as well. keep up the grind peace gates💪🏾
I've been consistently getting 6+ hours of screen on time and approx 1+ hours of background usage before falling below the 10% mark. I have also been using shortcuts to optimise battery life and I am super pleased with how well it's turning out to be. Strongly recommend the 13 Mini if you are looking for a small/compact phone!
The phone is pretty good but it's expensive I'm literally getting iPhone 13 and 13 mini at the same price, just 1-2k difference between them. It should be reduced in price like 60k-62k
@@spitfire7914 Agree with you, but I am surprised why it's priced that way! But I guess it eventually comes down to individual use cases and value. Given I've waited ages for a really good small/compact phone, I wouldn't mind upgrading to a Mini every two years, assuming they still decide to make it!
perfect for those city dwellers that don't game or consume large amount of video contents, just turned off that auto-light up thing and cinematic mode.. and u got a perfectly batteried phone for the day
Mini = MEGA !!! Im using 13 mini: excellent battery longevity, amazing display, speed and extremely handy. P.S. : Dont be fooled by the word "Mini" . The size is actually optimum, if youre not a fan of brick sized phones and the screensize is much much larger than the older 6s models. My friends who have 13/ bigger phones were awed by the ease of handling and style of 13 mini
Yeah it's pretty much the form factor of the iPhone 4 but since the display extends on the chin and the head it's giving heaps of screen real estate for the same form factor size.

@@PeaceGatesWondering Peace if you have had a chance to look at my question yet ? Thanks in advance for your prompt reply. Question@Peace Gates: Curious Peace which iPhone 13 model you have chosen in the end as your daily driver after reviewing them ...the ''mini'' or ''Pro'' ? And wondering which color you did go for ?
Do you have struggles with watching movies or playing games? It's my first time holding iphone and i want it to be a good experience so will it be good or should i go for the 12?
iPhone 12 mini user here, now iPhone 13 mini user (for the past 24hrs). I use my phone for "normal" use (pics here and there, calls for work, music, and the occasional video) and I'm at 20% with no charger from 100% (24hrs later). Granted my call volume was lower than normal over the weekend so the week will be a better benchmark, but I can say without a doubt that if you want a phone for "normal phone use" you'll be more than fine with the 13mini. I don't game on my phone at all and don't shoot a ton of video, and I think that's who this phone is best suited for. The work week will be the real test, but I had no trouble with my 12 mini so I'm only anticipating the 13 mini to be that much better with the larger battery. I don't TikTok, snapchat, but I do use Insta a good bit and the mini holds just find for MORE than a day for me. Bottom line..... if you're face down in your phone all day, the mini is probably not going to meet your needs. If you want a phone that gives you all the perks of the bigger 13 (regular size) with a smaller form-factor, the mini is the shit.
I think you should change a few settings, because if the phone does too much in the background, the battery will drain faster. Look at the location services and turn off what you don't really need, then the battery should last longer. And of course auto brightness also plays a big role, as you said. Nice Video
Got the iphone 13 mini yesterday, pink one ofc anddddd I love it. Coming from an iphone xr, not as small as people say it is, unless you're upgrading from a huge phone like the pro max. Screen size is enough, camera on point, and speed is there. Still testing out the battery but so far, very good.
@@amairaaanuja5141 it does look more white than pink but when I look at it, I overall see pink. It’s very light. I would recommend checking out and seeing it in person and decide from there
@@Leon-qe2wl Update: For the battery, I would have to agree that the iPhone XR battery life was better. The way I use my phone is for social media, couple of photos, internet searches, Spotify and couple RUclips videos, with 75% usage on Wi-Fi and 25% on mobile data. Kinda sucks that you may have to get a MagSafe battery from Apple to have the phone last for the entire day. I started at 6am and it lasted until 7:30pm ish. Was not on phone all day. I guess I ended up trading battery life for camera quality, the pink color, and a more portable phone, which were all important things for me. If battery life is very important to you and you want your phone to last in a day use, I would go for the iPhone 13. For me, I wanted a different size and look, and the pro max was too big
36 hours total, 8:30 SOT for my first days use of my 13 mini. Traded my 12 mini in. After 9 months, the battery health was already down to 90% and was lucky to squeeze 5 hours SOT. The 13 mini is such a huge upgrade in every way. Anyone who says different made the wrong choice to save $50 to get the 12 mini and the downgrades that go along with it.
never been a fan of big chunky phones. to me a phone is something that should fits comfortably in your pocket. everyone to their own, the mini checks all of the boxes I need.
Is it just me but I noticed that after I took a photo and look at it, something kinda adjusts in its hues and quality? (Nah, its not a live photo) Is this normal for the 13 mini?
So this might sound odd but I have the 12 mini and I think the 13 mini camera really is better. It looks awesome. You really can tell the difference!! I used my 12 mini for about 4 months but the battery really got to me so I went cwith my 12 pro max but I’m happy to see the 13 mini has a battery upgrade.
Thanks for the video ! Getting the blue one (oops) and I just wanted to say that Your bluetooth was 'on' too all time, as I understand it eats a lot of battery too. Hope my battery will live trough day. (getting a power brick :D )
Your battery test is very irritating! 2h 52min?! The i phone 13 mini battery lasts longer than iphone 12 or iphone 11. So how could you come to your conclusion that there is no improvement?
Able to sell the iPhone 12 mini at $550 to get the 13 mini with just $350 more. Should I upgrade? I care about the camera and battery improvements the most, but seems unnoticeable?
seems the 13 mini is the best choice for my use case. because, im not playing games on smartphones and i really liking the form factor. using app such as messaging, facebook, instagram and youtube seems normal use. if i want to see some movie, i just use my ipad mini.
