how can you start the video off by saying the SE is a great choice if your budget is below $500 and then end up saying you should save up and buy the $700 143 Mini? If my budget is 500 I can't magically produce an extra 200. I feel like this is a pointless comparison, as the two phones are in completely different categories. The SE is for people with a smaller budget who want an iPhone and all the features that comes with it, while the Mini is a premium phone targeted at people who want a smaller phone. Obviously anyone would pick the Mini if they were just on the lookout for a small iPhone, but thats not the target audience for the SE. People don't buy the SE cause it's small, they buy it cause it's affordable.
@@tiegideon9816 Yeah but if it's a small phone you want, and not a cheap one, why even consider the SE? Not hating on the SE at all, I've got one myself, but if you're just looking for a small phone, the Mini is definitely the one to go for.
@@jeppemellbak3869 Both are smaller than normal iPhones so that’s why I’m considering both. The SE peaked my interest because of its value for the price and its more compact screen/design. The price is a great bonus and I’d rather not spend extra money if I don’t need to, but that isn’t the main reason why I’m considering it. I want a phone w a smaller form factor and screen than what I have now.
@bobD agreed. Battery degredation is also an issue for my 12 mini. I use it moderately and currently have 83% battery life left. I also stopped using it in November of 2021, so it would probably sit close to 78% if I still used it.
I upgraded from a 6s to the 13 mini and my wife decided to upgrade from her 6 to the 2022 SE, in my opinion the old phones were still serving us just fine for the most part except for lack of iOS updates. We are both liking our new choices, especially the increased battery lives we are experiencing on both the Mini and SE which are giving each of us a minimum of two days between charges with our usage levels. At the end of the day it all comes down to what your expectations are and what you use your phones for.
@@thedownunderverse If I just had to pick one from between the two of them I’d go with the 13 Mini, there’s no question that it’s by far and away the better of the two.
@@thedownunderverse should've waited for the 14. it's coming out in like a month. my 7+ home button doesn't work as it rusted so im patiently waiting for 14pro/pro max
Have to disagree on you with Face ID vs Touch ID. While I appreciate Face ID is more secure and more convenient in some scenarios, I find it to be much less accurate and slower than Touch ID. Here's to hoping Apple eventually implement an underglass fingerprint reader aswell as Face ID so consumers can choose between the two 🤞
I agree I have the iPhone 12 and the Face ID is both slow and innacurate I am considering between iPhone 11 or se for work phone since touch id is faster
Touch ID is always better. I can literally unlock my phone while taking it out from my pocket and straight look at my unlocked screen, instead of taking it out and then looking at the phone for a second and then have it unlocked.
the 13 mini is the greatest iphone ever created, superior in every way to the SE, it's not even close. Many are giving up their 14 pro/pro max to the 13 mini
I've continued to use only the iPhone 7 until now! This is a huge step in the game I love the gen3 se. I've always stick to the iPhone 7 because of the size. Apple congratulating on being smart. Very happy.
Here's the difference to save you YOUR time, basically the iPhone SE keeps the same design as the iPhone 8 but just upgrades the processer and has other small upgrades, while the iPhone 13 mini is the same thing as the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 13 mini is smaller and has less battery life compared to the iPhone 13. In conclusion, if you have less money to spend and like the design of the iPhone 8, then just get the iPhone SE. If you have more money to spend and you like the full-screen design, then get the iPhone 13 mini. Side note: Both iPhone SE and iPhone 13 mini are 60 hertz. If you want 120hertz/Pro-motion, then get the iPhone 13 pro/max.
A lot of Tech RUclipsrs seems to forget the mindset of a minimum wage employee. Who’s probably making $600-$900 a paycheck. The iPhone SE 2022 starts around $300-$400 with trade in. So basically, you can purchase a brand new warranty covered iPhone and still have some of your Paycheck left over. Which is good news for said employee. With the iPhone Mini… $699… That whole paycheck is gone. Plus, to be honest, that price is probably close to that persons entire Rent. Just some food for thought. 🤓🍎 Great video though! Love your channel and vibe! 🙏🏼
Wasting HALF of your paycheck on a phone, is irresponsible at best. You can't understand that older, used devices exist for half the cost? Not to mention, phones like the iPhone 8 still work well today. What's with this poor people mindset yo?
I don’t know why but when I am watching his video, I felt the quality and the cleanliness of the video. Made his channel uniquely from other tech RUclipsr. Loved it!!!
I just upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro from a 6s and I’m kind of regretting it. I think I should’ve switched to the SE instead. Personally it just feels simpler to me and I prefer Touch ID over Face ID.”
Came from the s21 to iphone 13 mini and I cannot stand LCD screens anymore 😂 But frankly I just wanted a phone that would be able to carry me through the years both in terms of design and software so the 13 mini was the better choice. Too bad apple is discontinuing the mini lineup.
Everyone talk about bezels on iPhone SE , but even couple years ago they all buy iPhones 678 and they were really happy about it , Me personally love touch ID more saved in Face ID no matter what they say about it
I went from android to Apple and my first Apple phone was the SE2, 64gig. I had this phone for about 9 months before upgrading to the SE3, 128gig. The SE3 is a big performance boost and has a significantly longer battery life, faster operating speed, 5G internet and more camera features compared to the SE2. Also, while the design of the phone may be from years past that does not mean it is not a good design; for example, I like the touch home button, I dont mind the chin or forehead...the phone is light, thin and has a premium feel, glossy glass surface and great colors (mine is Starlight). Maybe this phone could have been called the iPhone Classic SE3 ? The SE3 would have been a better value if the storage started at 128gig instead of 64gig and perhaps they could have included a "dark mode" on the phone. The screen on the SE3 is great. The images are clear and crisp. When I compared the screen with other iPhones and androids, I did not notice a huge difference between the LCD retina display and those with OLED with respect to the difference in cost. I think the SE3 is for new Apple iphone users or for those who are on a budget and want a high quality phone that will provide great basic services and the "Apple" experience for years to come.
@@3xperiences Hi, yep there is no specific "dark mode" on the SE3 but it still does decent photos in low light and it does have a "dark mode" and 4K for video recording. Also, HDR4, Photo.Styles and Deep Fusion, which are software features from the iPhone 13, have been added to the SE3 to take advantage of the A15 chip and its 16 core neural engine, compared to only 8 core on the iPhone 11. So, not sure why they would add that new software and and chip power and leave off "dark mode"
THANK YOU! Quite frankly, I find the new iPhones (ESPECIALLY the 13 pro) to be way the fuck too big, too expensive and plain ol' too much shit I'll frankly never use. I don't care about the cameras. I do however love the a15 bionic.
I know it'll never happen, but if I'm gonna be forced to upgrade, I really wish I could get a mini with the footprint of an iPhone 4 and no face ID or notch or front camera. And a headphone jack, of course.
avenged110… you can have the iPhone of your dream. There are places in China were they make it through. You just have to tell them what your preferences are and they assemble the iPhone that way. And one of the most solicited is an iPhone with a headphone jack.
Re 13 mini, one thing nobody seems to have noticed is the placement of the the volume buttons exactly opposite the power button. Because of that it's very easy to accidently take a screenshot when changing the volume. Really bad design decision if you ask me. Other than that, it a lovely little phone.
@@09ThunderOne Not quite. If you look closely, on iPhone SE 2020/22 the power button is opposite the volume up button, not both of the volume buttons as on Mini. That makes it easier to operate.
Good review of the two phones. I do like the curved edges on the se, feels more comfortable. I bought the iphone 13 mini blue and love the size, camera and all the great features of the camera.
You missed one thing, the SE cannot use milowave 5G meaning it cannot get GB download speeds in major city’s like Seattle or Chicago while the iPhone 13 mini can
This is kind of an asterisk point, since it’s really only the US and other places that actually have mmWave 5G deployed. In Canada for example, phones sold here typically don’t even have mmWave hardware as the standard hasn’t been authorized for deployment yet.
I have 13 mini but I hate looking at the back cameras because they’re not in order and the other iPhones have 3 cameras and I just hate the look of so many round whole 😭 I wanna change to a simple phone with one camera without losing the quality. The iPhone 13 mini without case leaves mark on my fingers and make fingers hurt but I always use case anyway but it might be annoying for people who don’t like to use case. I’m just getting overwhelmed by so many cameras why can’t they just have one really good camera with a good chip and memory. At this point I wanna get a flip phone but I need to post content so need a good camera and it’s fast to edit with iPhone
I have an iPhone 8 and an XR as my work phone. I don’t like Face ID at all, not do I like swipe gestures and the notch is still stupid (can’t believe it’s now on the MacBook Pro). Maybe I just don’t use my work phone enough to appreciate it, but I’m definitely considering getting an SE 2022 in the future if I decide to upgrade, but will probably just get the battery in my 8 replaced tbh, I don’t really *need* a new phone. Would rather save a few hundred bucks than having the latest and greatest. The camera on the SE 2022 seems a lot better compared to the 8, and I don’t need extra lenses etc.
Oh my god that battery dock is perfect for the bedside. I already have one made by Anker, but the added benefit of always having a battery charged is really nice.
I’m sure the ‘full screen’ iPhones work great, but I’m not giving in to the notches. I have an 8 right now, and when it dies I’ll either get the SE 2020 or SE 2022.
This! Me too. I’m still on my 8+ and I think I would rather downsize my screen for the next SE. Seeing I already have a great tab+laptop, anything too big for the SE screen would make more sense to be done there. Also, pretty sure the screen would be cheaper to replace in case it breaks.
Bought the SE3 for 329 USD and it rocks. Better battery life over my SE2 and so far all the photo/video comparison to the 12s and 13s the SE3 looks as good or better.
@@AuRowe I had a T mobile plan. Traded in a iPhone 5s which won’t hit carrier bands anymore anyway. They will take a 4 or newer as a trade in. T mob does charge a $30 upgrade fee but if you are a new customer probably doesn’t. Am on a $20 month unlimited talk and text. There are new less expensive T mb plans now. 24 month interest free payments and you can pay it off in 40 days and t mob unlocks it.
That notch looks ridiculous and is distracting on the 12. I will be getting the SE 3rd Gen. I also like the touch button on the SE. I have also heard many complaints about Face ID.
i went from a 12 mini (that got damaged, so i had to buy a new) and simply went for the cheapest currently offering from Apple, which was the SE. I actually really like it as much as my 12 mini, or perhaps even more. Why? because for my usage it suits perfectly fine and i love that i could get it much much cheaper then all the newer iphones. Also i didn't really use the ultrawide camera on the 12 mini and i actually prefer touch id and the haptics to face ID. utltmately it all comes down to your usage of a smartphone, and years before i always wanted the best apple offers, but now i realize i don't need all those extra features. I bought a 64 gb which i was concerned about but for now i have only used 29 gb of storage, so even 64 gb version is just fine for me. Also the battery life is perfectly fine as long as you're not a heavy user, but then you problaly wouldn't buy this phone. Yes the screen could be better, but is not bad at all. And when you use it day in and day out, you dont really notice you're missing out. Big thumbs up for the great and cheap SE 2022
I just purchased an SE3. I’m looking forward to switching from the max phones. I have a an iPhone 12 promax. I’ve had it for two years although it is a three-year old device. I’m actually having large phone fatigue. The smaller form factor and the retro look is everything I’m into. I’m also getting off of the device number roller coaster. I will no longer feel outdated when people tell me the model number of their phones (14, 15, etc.) I can just tell them I have an SE.
I just bought a 13 mini a month ago, and honestly, comparing it to the SE is not fair for the SE. The 13 mini is just as much a powerhouse as the regular 13, while the SE, despite of having the same chipset, stays short in areas such as the cameras, battery life and content consumption
@@G4MBIT is there gonna be an iPhone 13 se? I want a phone with a home button but I want the phone to be in green colour. I’m thinking about like getting the se but I want it to have the green colour 😩
yes but you get awful borders around the screen and it is lower resolution and not an oled panel and no ceramic shield so it is more prone to damages. Also the camera is multiple generations ahead and face id does not require any more steps. You just pick up your phone and it unlocks. Touch id requires you pickingup phone and moving your finger to the home button
everyone neglects to mention that the SE3 is set to replace the current SE2 with deals amongst most carriers in the U.S. for just 249 with activation (typically with an unlimited service). A phone with that kind of horsepower and an unlimited data phone plan is pretty much unmatched in terms of price. The 13 mini is a great phone but the SE is still swinging way above its weight class. If youre new to iOS, the se may be for you. If this is your first phone- the SE may be for you. If you need a device for an older relative, this phone may be for you. If you want a little more bells and whistles but already own a device thats newer than and iPhone SE2- the choice is pretty obvious.
The SE3 is a budget phone for people who don’t want the latest and greatest or school age kids who need a phone but their parents don’t want to break the bank.
@@jamescash887 - I want the SE 2022 because I’m coming from an iPhone 8….which in my opinion is the best size iPhone has made to date. The SE is the exact same body/frame as iPhone 8….I wanted the mini but almost feel it’s toooo small
Both phones are excellent values and Apple priced them really fairly -- you get what you pay for, and then some, with both. I sure would love to have a 13 Mini, but I just can't justify spending $700 on a phone. As tired as I am of the SE's old design and inferior screen, I'd probably go for that one, even at 128GB.
@Dio Titus I'm not personally about financing as a justification for spending more money. Whether I pay it now or later, that's more time spent working and less money available to go somewhere else. But yes, if someone NEEDS the more expensive phone, financing can make it attainable.
Great comparison video. Thanks for going through all of the details in an objective way. The one suggestion I would say for future comparisons would be to keep each phone on its own "side" throughout the video, which makes it easier to understand.
Finally a reviewer says something about the sharp edges digging into fingers (pinky finger specifically) I tried a 12 reg and a 13 mini and ultimately went back to an 11 pro because I love the curved edges. I actually love Touch ID much more than Face ID and am actually considering an SE 2022 as a “side grade”
@My Captain to each their own. I prefer a skinned phone with no case and I prefer it to be comfortable to hold. Perhaps you’re a masochist. Or maybe just an internet smart ass. Either way our opinions are just that.
What type of freak? First off, get a case Second off, you learned to live without a headphone jack but you can't live without touch id? Third off, it's the looney bin for you sir!
One thing that never seems to get factored into these videos is apple care+. Apple care is way cheaper for the SE ($79 vs $149). I have always gotten apple care, so this is a big factor as well.
I’ve noticed people only want the se because they don’t wanna spend the extra money personally me I love my iPhone 13 pro it’s amazing and I had an iPhone se then upgraded to an 11 and now I have my 13
i have the red iphone 13 mini but i came from the iphone se2. i had the se2 since release until mid Feb of this year. Phone became quickly weak and slow and even glitchy. Iphone 13 mini is amazing and wonderful
I have an se2 and was about to spend all that money on a 13 mini but then realized, I just dont need it. the damn phone still works great even if I am itching to upgrade lol
The SE is the budget model, so it does not have any iPhone competition. The SE is perfect for those that just want a phone/camera. I would get a more expensive iPhone if I didn’t have an iPad, laptop, or home computer.
They should have given the se a “plus” sized option, being the iPhone Xr body, since it didn’t sell too well in 2018, they got a lot left to use, and those devices are what are primarily being traded in, so they have a lot of spare parts, as a result,they should have put this se at $350, and the plus one at $450, much better deal, same chip, same everything, just a bigger body and screen.
Got a SE 2022 changing from a galaxy A72. I wanted a more than capable processor that made switching between apps and taking pictures effortless. I never needed a big screen or needed any of the fancy camera features. I wanted a fast experience in a smooth OS at a great price. That is my sole reason for buying an SE
I was wondering about this! My parents have galaxy A52s and I’d like to get them on iPhones and Apple watches since I’m now in a 13PM. My concern is that they’re almost 80yrs old I would like to see their location and have SOS feature. I was looking at the 11 but the weight may be a negative for them.
@Unknown Horrible battery Single camera (although it's like really good) And they tell it has a flagship chip while it literally throttles. 720p at this screen size acceptable but should be oled.
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.
Sad that in SE3, they removed the 3D touch. You could hard press on the left corner of the SE3 and you'll have the App Switcher. Something I had it on 8 but not anymore on SE3. Not sure if it's an iOS feature or screen compatibility. I wish Apple will get it back on the next iOS
iPhone 13 Mini is much better in every aspects, but if you consider the budget then iPhone SE 2022 is good choice plus its compactness that is similar with 13 Mini
Apple should just do an in display fingerprint scanner like Samsung and other android phone makers do. I like Face ID but I don’t want it being my only biometric unlocking mechanism
All throughout my high school I couldn’t afford an upgrade from a handme down iPhone 5s that was my sister’s. It’s crazy to think now having adult money I treated myself with the iPhone 12 Pro gold on Christmas. I got bored with the size and color. So it was the next Christmas I bought myself the iphone 13 pro max in silver. I absolutely love it😁 All I could think now is how I wish I could’ve have money in high school since I was teased (not in a bad way, but it was a joke I got along with) Does anyone else relate? I’m rocking an watch 6 stainless steel, an M1 iPad Pro (I’m thinking of buying the MacBook Pro 2022)
Both are very nice compact phones I like. However I pick SE 2022 finally just because I still like touch ID and the battery percentage that I can view in the main screen.
Honestly, the bezels on the SE are deal breakers for me. I want a small phone, yes, but that means there's less margin for wasted space. The 13 mini... I'm hesitant to buy such an expensive phone, but it's the best small phone option I've found. The really good value phones are significantly less expensive and what I usually buy, but after three and a half years with my huge and heavy phone I'm ready for a change. It does quite bother me to give up my beloved 3.5 mm headphone jack, though. I'd rather have a slightly larger phone with one than a smaller phone without, but unfortunately bespoke cell phones aren't really a thing... Also, it annoys me quite a lot that Apple won't switch to USB C.
I went into apple the other day and the SE screen looks like total dog 💩 compared to the 13’s and the Pros.. you can get an adapter for the 13 for the headphone Jack if you don’t have wireless headphones :) also apple does interest free monthly payments for a phone which might be worth it if you don’t have the cash to drop on something outright
@@devilkazumi578 wdym with regular iphones? If i have non-notch iphones and i upgrade to the iphone se, ofc i would say that the screen is jusy as good as previous iphone, because i never had a notch iphone with the greater screen
@@Almighty17.s i just find it more consistent and easier. I also prefer the home button interface, having tried it a few times (11, 12) and went back to the SE for the usability. I would love to see some sort of implementation of both in the coming phones, just like in android counterparts. In screen fingerprint + faceID would be very nice.
The iPhone 13 mini has 800 nits brightness in manual mode and that's much brighter than most smart phones in that price range IE a Google pixel 6 has maximum manual brightness of around 500 nits. In auto brightness mode the iPhone 13 mini can reach over 1000 nits brightness 😊
Good review. I like your presentation of the facts and the way that you weighed out your thoughts to your audience. Very nice job. I have the 3rd gen SE and a 13 Mini. My sim card is in the SE 3. Love the SE 3. It is not better, but there's something about it that I truly love. I too came from a 1st gen SE. The SE 3 is a HUGE upgrade in every way. It feels soo premium, like the 13 Mini. Please don't listen to people that say the 6S and the SE2 or SE3 are essentially the same. They are most certainly NOT the same. It merely looks the same, however, the performance is NIGHT and DAY better on even the SE 2 (which I also have). The SE 3 (and the 2) are low key monster phones. The batter life is better on the SE 3 over the SE 2. For sure tho, if you decide on a SE 3 (or 2 if you can find a good deal) go with a 128 GB storage, especially if you take lots of photos/video.
Great video. I had the last two SE's and really liked them. I got the 13 mini and LOVE it. Everything about it. For me it is worth the upgrade money. I like it considerably more.
Well, you kinda have so far left me as unsure as before. One one hand, I draw on my phone and hold it with one hand while drawing with the other. I find the iPhone 6s that I’m currently using to be very comfortable in this regard. On the other hand, I draw on my phone, so improved colours are always a plus. But if it’s going to hurt or even damage my ring or little finger over time, that’s not good. I imagine the right case will solve that problem. I personally prefer having a home button and touch ID (I do not even like face ID, though it’s not as bad as I thought - a friend got an iPhone 14 and I’ve had to help them set it up, so I’ve spent hours with it), and I have little to no use for fancy cameras (not to mention, they are insanely bulky looking, jutting so far out of the back - I’m sure that’s great if taking photos are your thing, while I’m perfectly content with the 6s’s cameras). Oh, but one thing you’ve def helped with: I really like that green. I did not think it would look that good from photos, but it is a great shade of green. But, yeah, I’m still torn, LOL!
How do you feel about the screen comparison in terms of size between the two? Even though the screen view is technically bigger on the mini I feel like it’s not because it’s not as wide as the SE
Mine is always dying wth 😂 I even when to the store and they gave me a new one and always dying or got but happened with all the iPhones I own. I don’t use the phone that much
They should come up with ip 16 mini with usb and dynamic island and battery upgrade. It will sell well . All models should comes with Aod , up to individual to off it .
Never owned a stupid cell phone and never will. The home phone works great; you can wait until you get home to make all those "important" calls - like telling Aunt Martha how the kids' t-ball practice went, today.
The money difference between the SE and mini are soooooo worth it, for an entrance get a mini not an SE unless you really can’t afford it, because the mini is much better
I wanted to buy the 12 mini so bad but didn't have the budget now, I picked up the SE 2020 instead. Haven't been using iPhones since the 5s and i think the SE is gonna be my first again to dive in iOS again. at least as a phone. Been using iPad since the first pro model.
Hey Josh, those links to purchase the slider not available anymore. do you have another link affiliate with you. just making sure you got a cut of the order. Thanks!
Kind of late to the party but I was deciding between iPhone SE and 13 mini a while ago but ultimately went for the latter. I'm glad I did because it was totally worth the price difference.
The way I see it, the mini will last me a lot longer than the SE. I’m using this for many years to come. Also most importantly the mini comes in green.
When I saw that it came in green I was sold. I really need to stop doing that. I’ve bought soo much junk just because it came in green. I really should just spend less and get the SE. I don’t even use cameras..... but the 13 does come in green......mmmmmm...
iPhone 13 mini all the way, no doubt about it. Yes, it's more expensive but it's worth the extra costs. SE2022 will bite you in the end, maybe even sooner rather than later.
how can you start the video off by saying the SE is a great choice if your budget is below $500 and then end up saying you should save up and buy the $700 143 Mini? If my budget is 500 I can't magically produce an extra 200. I feel like this is a pointless comparison, as the two phones are in completely different categories. The SE is for people with a smaller budget who want an iPhone and all the features that comes with it, while the Mini is a premium phone targeted at people who want a smaller phone. Obviously anyone would pick the Mini if they were just on the lookout for a small iPhone, but thats not the target audience for the SE. People don't buy the SE cause it's small, they buy it cause it's affordable.

I might be in the minority, but I literally looked up this comparison because I want a smaller phone

Have to disagree on you with Face ID vs Touch ID. While I appreciate Face ID is more secure and more convenient in some scenarios, I find it to be much less accurate and slower than Touch ID. Here's to hoping Apple eventually implement an underglass fingerprint reader aswell as Face ID so consumers can choose between the two 🤞
It’s like a millisecond difference lol
I agree I have the iPhone 12 and the Face ID is both slow and innacurate I am considering between iPhone 11 or se for work phone since touch id is faster
Touch ID is always better. I can literally unlock my phone while taking it out from my pocket and straight look at my unlocked screen, instead of taking it out and then looking at the phone for a second and then have it unlocked.
Does Face ID work when you're wearing a mask? I don't worry about that with my SE, although the larger screen of 13 mini would be nice.
Bruh my Touch ID never works that why I like Face ID more
the 13 mini is the greatest iphone ever created, superior in every way to the SE, it's not even close. Many are giving up their 14 pro/pro max to the 13 mini
Not have Touch ID
If you're really on a tight budget, getting iPhone SE 2022 and iPad would get yourself well equipped to the Apple's ecosystem
Agree, I have the IPad 9 and Se 2022, great combo!
Se2022 is too big. I am using se 2016
A MacBook air m1 also
I've continued to use only the iPhone 7 until now! This is a huge step in the game I love the gen3 se.
I've always stick to the iPhone 7 because of the size.
Apple congratulating on being smart.
Very happy.
Bro, same here with iPhone 7... What's your take? SE or 13?
Try se2016 you will not go back
Here's the difference to save you YOUR time, basically the iPhone SE keeps the same design as the iPhone 8 but just upgrades the processer and has other small upgrades, while the iPhone 13 mini is the same thing as the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 13 mini is smaller and has less battery life compared to the iPhone 13. In conclusion, if you have less money to spend and like the design of the iPhone 8, then just get the iPhone SE. If you have more money to spend and you like the full-screen design, then get the iPhone 13 mini.
Side note: Both iPhone SE and iPhone 13 mini are 60 hertz. If you want 120hertz/Pro-motion, then get the iPhone 13 pro/max.
A lot of Tech RUclipsrs seems to forget the mindset of a minimum wage employee. Who’s probably making $600-$900 a paycheck. The iPhone SE 2022 starts around $300-$400 with trade in. So basically, you can purchase a brand new warranty covered iPhone and still have some of your Paycheck left over. Which is good news for said employee. With the iPhone Mini… $699… That whole paycheck is gone. Plus, to be honest, that price is probably close to that persons entire Rent. Just some food for thought. 🤓🍎
Great video though! Love your channel and vibe! 🙏🏼
Wasting HALF of your paycheck on a phone, is irresponsible at best.
You can't understand that older, used devices exist for half the cost?
Not to mention, phones like the iPhone 8 still work well today.

haha good username
I just upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro from a 6s and I’m kind of regretting it. I think I should’ve switched to the SE instead. Personally it just feels simpler to me and I prefer Touch ID over Face ID.”
I bought an open box iPhone 12 Mini for $400 on eBay. Perfect condition and still under the Apple warranty
Came from the s21 to iphone 13 mini and I cannot stand LCD screens anymore 😂
But frankly I just wanted a phone that would be able to carry me through the years both in terms of design and software so the 13 mini was the better choice. Too bad apple is discontinuing the mini lineup.
dont worry if u treat well your iphone mini is gonna last till they rebrand it.
@@pandanikos hahaha
The mini has a oled screen.
@@M_harch oops I meant as lol. Cant go back from oled
the S21 also has an OLED screen, so i'm not sure i understand this comment
Everyone talk about bezels on iPhone SE , but even couple years ago they all buy iPhones 678 and they were really happy about it , Me personally love touch ID more saved in Face ID no matter what they say about it
I went from android to Apple and my first Apple phone was the SE2, 64gig. I had this phone for about 9 months before upgrading to the SE3, 128gig. The SE3 is a big performance boost and has a significantly longer battery life, faster operating speed, 5G internet and more camera features compared to the SE2. Also, while the design of the phone may be from years past that does not mean it is not a good design; for example, I like the touch home button, I dont mind the chin or forehead...the phone is light, thin and has a premium feel, glossy glass surface and great colors (mine is Starlight). Maybe this phone could have been called the iPhone Classic SE3 ?
The SE3 would have been a better value if the storage started at 128gig instead of 64gig and perhaps they could have included a "dark mode" on the phone. The screen on the SE3 is great. The images are clear and crisp. When I compared the screen with other iPhones and androids, I did not notice a huge difference between the LCD retina display and those with OLED with respect to the difference in cost.
I think the SE3 is for new Apple iphone users or for those who are on a budget and want a high quality phone that will provide great basic services and the "Apple" experience for years to come.
There is no dark mode in SE? I have it on my old iPhone 7!
@@3xperiences Hi, yep there is no specific "dark mode" on the SE3 but it still does decent photos in low light and it does have a "dark mode" and 4K for video recording. Also, HDR4, Photo.Styles and Deep Fusion, which are software features from the iPhone 13, have been added to the SE3 to take advantage of the A15 chip and its 16 core neural engine, compared to only 8 core on the iPhone 11. So, not sure why they would add that new software and and chip power and leave off "dark mode"
@@3xperiences Dark mode does exist in the UI. Dark mode as a camera option does not.
Okay. Now i understand. I use term night mode so thats why i got confused.
THANK YOU! Quite frankly, I find the new iPhones (ESPECIALLY the 13 pro) to be way the fuck too big, too expensive and plain ol' too much shit I'll frankly never use. I don't care about the cameras. I do however love the a15 bionic.
SE is a beast! Recently made a similar vid, tried using SE for a month and compare it with 14 Pro
I know it'll never happen, but if I'm gonna be forced to upgrade, I really wish I could get a mini with the footprint of an iPhone 4 and no face ID or notch or front camera. And a headphone jack, of course.
You would never be able to take a selfie… actually, the world might be a better place without selfies 👍
@@KapitalElement I've never done that in my life so no tears would be shed by me.
avenged110… you can have the iPhone of your dream. There are places in China were they make it through. You just have to tell them what your preferences are and they assemble the iPhone that way. And one of the most solicited is an iPhone with a headphone jack.

This is what I’ve been debating! Thanks so much! It’s been great to see your channel grow since Car Thing. Cheers
Re 13 mini, one thing nobody seems to have noticed is the placement of the the volume buttons exactly opposite the power button. Because of that it's very easy to accidently take a screenshot when changing the volume. Really bad design decision if you ask me. Other than that, it a lovely little phone.
what? my SE 2020, and almost every iphone since the 6 is set up this way
@@09ThunderOne Not quite. If you look closely, on iPhone SE 2020/22 the power button is opposite the volume up button, not both of the volume buttons as on Mini. That makes it easier to operate.
@@areluc I see.
I actually find it difficult to take screenshot when I have to lol (now 13mini, previously ip6s)
@@areluc nah I’m looking at my se 2020, the volume up is parallel to the power button
There’s something I still love about swiping up for the home center! Loving the new se3 it’s so fast
Good review of the two phones. I do like the curved edges on the se, feels more comfortable. I bought the iphone 13 mini blue and love the size, camera and all the great features of the camera.
You missed one thing, the SE cannot use milowave 5G meaning it cannot get GB download speeds in major city’s like Seattle or Chicago while the iPhone 13 mini can
This is kind of an asterisk point, since it’s really only the US and other places that actually have mmWave 5G deployed. In Canada for example, phones sold here typically don’t even have mmWave hardware as the standard hasn’t been authorized for deployment yet.
You really don’t need gb download speeds
What I like about iPhone SE is the small camera in the back. I don't want to use my phone as a camera replacement.
I have 13 mini but I hate looking at the back cameras because they’re not in order and the other iPhones have 3 cameras and I just hate the look of so many round whole 😭 I wanna change to a simple phone with one camera without losing the quality.
The iPhone 13 mini without case leaves mark on my fingers and make fingers hurt but I always use case anyway but it might be annoying for people who don’t like to use case.
I’m just getting overwhelmed by so many cameras why can’t they just have one really good camera with a good chip and memory.
At this point I wanna get a flip phone but I need to post content so need a good camera and it’s fast to edit with iPhone
I have an iPhone 8 and an XR as my work phone. I don’t like Face ID at all, not do I like swipe gestures and the notch is still stupid (can’t believe it’s now on the MacBook Pro). Maybe I just don’t use my work phone enough to appreciate it, but I’m definitely considering getting an SE 2022 in the future if I decide to upgrade, but will probably just get the battery in my 8 replaced tbh, I don’t really *need* a new phone. Would rather save a few hundred bucks than having the latest and greatest. The camera on the SE 2022 seems a lot better compared to the 8, and I don’t need extra lenses etc.
First time Apple user. Bought the SE last year, trading up to the mini red this year. They should drop in price with the release of the 15.
Oh my god that battery dock is perfect for the bedside. I already have one made by Anker, but the added benefit of always having a battery charged is really nice.
As long as you’re in bed ;-)
That was probably the best and most useful sponsor ad I’ve ever watched
I’m sure the ‘full screen’ iPhones work great, but I’m not giving in to the notches.
I have an 8 right now, and when it dies I’ll either get the SE 2020 or SE 2022.
This! Me too. I’m still on my 8+ and I think I would rather downsize my screen for the next SE. Seeing I already have a great tab+laptop, anything too big for the SE screen would make more sense to be done there. Also, pretty sure the screen would be cheaper to replace in case it breaks.
Bought the SE3 for 329 USD and it rocks. Better battery life over my SE2 and so far all the photo/video comparison to the 12s and 13s the SE3 looks as good or better.
Did you buy it with a plan???
@@AuRowe I had a T mobile plan. Traded in a iPhone 5s which won’t hit carrier bands anymore anyway. They will take a 4 or newer as a trade in. T mob does charge a $30 upgrade fee but if you are a new customer probably doesn’t. Am on a $20 month unlimited talk and text. There are new less expensive T mb plans now. 24 month interest free payments and you can pay it off in 40 days and t mob unlocks it.
I think the camera performances on 12/13 mini are a bit better than the SE 3, looking at the comparisions also there is no Night Mode.
That notch looks ridiculous and is distracting on the 12. I will be getting the SE 3rd Gen. I also like the touch button on the SE. I have also heard many complaints about Face ID.
I'd rather take Touch ID over Face ID any day of the week.
i went from a 12 mini (that got damaged, so i had to buy a new) and simply went for the cheapest currently offering from Apple, which was the SE. I actually really like it as much as my 12 mini, or perhaps even more. Why? because for my usage it suits perfectly fine and i love that i could get it much much cheaper then all the newer iphones. Also i didn't really use the ultrawide camera on the 12 mini and i actually prefer touch id and the haptics to face ID.
utltmately it all comes down to your usage of a smartphone, and years before i always wanted the best apple offers, but now i realize i don't need all those extra features. I bought a 64 gb which i was concerned about but for now i have only used 29 gb of storage, so even 64 gb version is just fine for me. Also the battery life is perfectly fine as long as you're not a heavy user, but then you problaly wouldn't buy this phone.
Yes the screen could be better, but is not bad at all. And when you use it day in and day out, you dont really notice you're missing out.
Big thumbs up for the great and cheap SE 2022
I just purchased an SE3. I’m looking forward to switching from the max phones. I have a an iPhone 12 promax. I’ve had it for two years although it is a three-year old device. I’m actually having large phone fatigue. The smaller form factor and the retro look is everything I’m into. I’m also getting off of the device number roller coaster. I will no longer feel outdated when people tell me the model number of their phones (14, 15, etc.) I can just tell them I have an SE.
I just bought a 13 mini a month ago, and honestly, comparing it to the SE is not fair for the SE. The 13 mini is just as much a powerhouse as the regular 13, while the SE, despite of having the same chipset, stays short in areas such as the cameras, battery life and content consumption
U talking about the 2022 or the 2 Gen??? There’s different ones
I’ve been debating for weeks and finally went ahead with the mini.
So how’s the mini so far?
@@Kevin4M3 pretty darn impressive. Glad I went ahead with this instead of the SE. Excellent display quality, camera, battery life, etc.

@@agonf depends on what size you want
Touch ID
No awful notch on the display
Curved design

I'm sold on the SE3
yes but you get awful borders around the screen and it is lower resolution and not an oled panel and no ceramic shield so it is more prone to damages. Also the camera is multiple generations ahead and face id does not require any more steps. You just pick up your phone and it unlocks. Touch id requires you pickingup phone and moving your finger to the home button
@@sadpouofficialshop face id is satanic and oppressive big brother
everyone neglects to mention that the SE3 is set to replace the current SE2 with deals amongst most carriers in the U.S. for just 249 with activation (typically with an unlimited service). A phone with that kind of horsepower and an unlimited data phone plan is pretty much unmatched in terms of price. The 13 mini is a great phone but the SE is still swinging way above its weight class. If youre new to iOS, the se may be for you. If this is your first phone- the SE may be for you. If you need a device for an older relative, this phone may be for you. If you want a little more bells and whistles but already own a device thats newer than and iPhone SE2- the choice is pretty obvious.
The SE3 is a budget phone for people who don’t want the latest and greatest or school age kids who need a phone but their parents don’t want to break the bank.
@@jamescash887 - I want the SE 2022 because I’m coming from an iPhone 8….which in my opinion is the best size iPhone has made to date. The SE is the exact same body/frame as iPhone 8….I wanted the mini but almost feel it’s toooo small
Both phones are excellent values and Apple priced them really fairly -- you get what you pay for, and then some, with both. I sure would love to have a 13 Mini, but I just can't justify spending $700 on a phone. As tired as I am of the SE's old design and inferior screen, I'd probably go for that one, even at 128GB.
@Dio Titus I'm not personally about financing as a justification for spending more money. Whether I pay it now or later, that's more time spent working and less money available to go somewhere else. But yes, if someone NEEDS the more expensive phone, financing can make it attainable.
You described my thoughts exactly. Thanks!
Great comparison video. Thanks for going through all of the details in an objective way. The one suggestion I would say for future comparisons would be to keep each phone on its own "side" throughout the video, which makes it easier to understand.
Finally a reviewer says something about the sharp edges digging into fingers (pinky finger specifically) I tried a 12 reg and a 13 mini and ultimately went back to an 11 pro because I love the curved edges. I actually love Touch ID much more than Face ID and am actually considering an SE 2022 as a “side grade”
@My Captain lol 😂
@My Captain to each their own. I prefer a skinned phone with no case and I prefer it to be comfortable to hold. Perhaps you’re a masochist. Or maybe just an internet smart ass. Either way our opinions are just that.
What type of freak?
First off, get a case
Second off, you learned to live without a headphone jack but you can't live without touch id?
Third off, it's the looney bin for you sir!
@@thetechrealist haha well at least your reply was entertaining
@@thetechrealist the 3G solved this. Flat front, curved back.
One thing that never seems to get factored into these videos is apple care+. Apple care is way cheaper for the SE ($79 vs $149). I have always gotten apple care, so this is a big factor as well.
When you can call Apple anytime and ask any questions WHY do u need applecare (other than a physical problem)?
I have a iPhone 6s which i am happy with. If i were to upgrade i would get the SE and with the remaining budget get the air-pod and apple watch SE.
I have 6s too, I’ve read that it will be obsolete next year...so, yea, guess it’s time to upgrade soon...
🙏🏻
I’ve noticed people only want the se because they don’t wanna spend the extra money personally me I love my iPhone 13 pro it’s amazing and I had an iPhone se then upgraded to an 11 and now I have my 13
i have the red iphone 13 mini but i came from the iphone se2. i had the se2 since release until mid Feb of this year. Phone became quickly weak and slow and even glitchy. Iphone 13 mini is amazing and wonderful
I have an se2 and was about to spend all that money on a 13 mini but then realized, I just dont need it. the damn phone still works great even if I am itching to upgrade lol
The SE is the budget model, so it does not have any iPhone competition.
The SE is perfect for those that just want a phone/camera. I would get a more expensive iPhone if I didn’t have an iPad, laptop, or home computer.
They should have given the se a “plus” sized option, being the iPhone Xr body, since it didn’t sell too well in 2018, they got a lot left to use, and those devices are what are primarily being traded in, so they have a lot of spare parts, as a result,they should have put this se at $350, and the plus one at $450, much better deal, same chip, same everything, just a bigger body and screen.
so basically kinda like the iphone 14 plus
I have been debating between these two for a couple months. Always stoked to see one of your new videos pop up on my feed--congrats on 100k :)
Got a SE 2022 changing from a galaxy A72. I wanted a more than capable processor that made switching between apps and taking pictures effortless.
I never needed a big screen or needed any of the fancy camera features.
I wanted a fast experience in a smooth OS at a great price.
That is my sole reason for buying an SE
I was wondering about this! My parents have galaxy A52s and I’d like to get them on iPhones and Apple watches since I’m now in a 13PM. My concern is that they’re almost 80yrs old I would like to see their location and have SOS feature. I was looking at the 11 but the weight may be a negative for them.
What about the battery life? Samsungs have an amazing battery. I'm currently on the A series myself.
got myself a 13 mini, best phone on the market ever !
I use MagSafe on my iPhone SE 2022 daily. It def works
The SE 2022 isn’t worth $429. But it’s definitely worth $250 like Walmart is offering if you are an AT&T or Verizon customer.
@@therealmichaelphelps the mini isn’t based off a design that debuted in 2014

No, its worth the half of MSRP. Only considering the A15.
@Unknown
Horrible battery
Single camera (although it's like really good)
And they tell it has a flagship chip while it literally throttles.
720p at this screen size acceptable but should be oled.
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.
so i really want to try face id but i have bangs so they change into different areas, will that still allow me in or keep me out?
Sad that in SE3, they removed the 3D touch. You could hard press on the left corner of the SE3 and you'll have the App Switcher. Something I had it on 8 but not anymore on SE3. Not sure if it's an iOS feature or screen compatibility. I wish Apple will get it back on the next iOS
This is the most easy, simple and useful review and specs video of the iphone se I have ever seen. thanks a lot!👍
iPhone 13 Mini is much better in every aspects, but if you consider the budget then iPhone SE 2022 is good choice plus its compactness that is similar with 13 Mini
really like the minimalist look&feel in the videos. subscribed
Apple should just do an in display fingerprint scanner like Samsung and other android phone makers do. I like Face ID but I don’t want it being my only biometric unlocking mechanism
All throughout my high school I couldn’t afford an upgrade from a handme down iPhone 5s that was my sister’s. It’s crazy to think now having adult money I treated myself with the iPhone 12 Pro gold on Christmas. I got bored with the size and color. So it was the next Christmas I bought myself the iphone 13 pro max in silver. I absolutely love it😁 All I could think now is how I wish I could’ve have money in high school since I was teased (not in a bad way, but it was a joke I got along with) Does anyone else relate? I’m rocking an watch 6 stainless steel, an M1 iPad Pro (I’m thinking of buying the MacBook Pro 2022)
Both are very nice compact phones I like. However I pick SE 2022 finally just because I still like touch ID and the battery percentage that I can view in the main screen.
I just purchased the SE3. I am a huge fan of the home button.
Honestly, the bezels on the SE are deal breakers for me. I want a small phone, yes, but that means there's less margin for wasted space.
The 13 mini... I'm hesitant to buy such an expensive phone, but it's the best small phone option I've found. The really good value phones are significantly less expensive and what I usually buy, but after three and a half years with my huge and heavy phone I'm ready for a change.
It does quite bother me to give up my beloved 3.5 mm headphone jack, though. I'd rather have a slightly larger phone with one than a smaller phone without, but unfortunately bespoke cell phones aren't really a thing...
Also, it annoys me quite a lot that Apple won't switch to USB C.
I went into apple the other day and the SE screen looks like total dog 💩 compared to the 13’s and the Pros.. you can get an adapter for the 13 for the headphone Jack if you don’t have wireless headphones :) also apple does interest free monthly payments for a phone which might be worth it if you don’t have the cash to drop on something outright

like your current haircut, so cute!
This is very helpful! Grats on the 100k! More to come!
Most cell phones are useless in bright sunlight. How do these two (with their different display technologies) compare in bright sunlight?
The iPhone 13 mini has 800 nits brightness in manual mode and that's much brighter than most smart phones in that price range IE a Google pixel 6 has maximum manual brightness of around 500 nits. In auto brightness mode the iPhone 13 mini can reach over 1000 nits brightness 😊
6:40 / 8:20
iPhone SE (2022) vs iPhone 13 Mini: Worth the extra $??
i still prefer the touch id than face id because its easy to use you dont need to worry to turn on your phone when your wearing a facemask outside
I want a mini pro. I’ll hold onto mine until they make a small phone with battery life of big ones.
Congrats on hitting 100k!!!!
Good review. I like your presentation of the facts and the way that you weighed out your thoughts to your audience. Very nice job. I have the 3rd gen SE and a 13 Mini. My sim card is in the SE 3. Love the SE 3. It is not better, but there's something about it that I truly love. I too came from a 1st gen SE. The SE 3 is a HUGE upgrade in every way. It feels soo premium, like the 13 Mini. Please don't listen to people that say the 6S and the SE2 or SE3 are essentially the same. They are most certainly NOT the same. It merely looks the same, however, the performance is NIGHT and DAY better on even the SE 2 (which I also have). The SE 3 (and the 2) are low key monster phones. The batter life is better on the SE 3 over the SE 2. For sure tho, if you decide on a SE 3 (or 2 if you can find a good deal) go with a 128 GB storage, especially if you take lots of photos/video.
Great video. I had the last two SE's and really liked them. I got the 13 mini and LOVE it. Everything about it. For me it is worth the upgrade money. I like it considerably more.
since my home button is the only thing that broke on my current phone, I think ill opt for the 13 not the se...
Well, you kinda have so far left me as unsure as before.
One one hand, I draw on my phone and hold it with one hand while drawing with the other. I find the iPhone 6s that I’m currently using to be very comfortable in this regard.
On the other hand, I draw on my phone, so improved colours are always a plus. But if it’s going to hurt or even damage my ring or little finger over time, that’s not good. I imagine the right case will solve that problem.
I personally prefer having a home button and touch ID (I do not even like face ID, though it’s not as bad as I thought - a friend got an iPhone 14 and I’ve had to help them set it up, so I’ve spent hours with it), and I have little to no use for fancy cameras (not to mention, they are insanely bulky looking, jutting so far out of the back - I’m sure that’s great if taking photos are your thing, while I’m perfectly content with the 6s’s cameras).
Oh, but one thing you’ve def helped with: I really like that green. I did not think it would look that good from photos, but it is a great shade of green.
But, yeah, I’m still torn, LOL!
Also upgrading from a 6s and still torn! It’s a hard choice

How do you feel about the screen comparison in terms of size between the two? Even though the screen view is technically bigger on the mini I feel like it’s not because it’s not as wide as the SE
Mine is always dying wth 😂 I even when to the store and they gave me a new one and always dying or got but happened with all the iPhones I own. I don’t use the phone that much
They should come up with ip 16 mini with usb and dynamic island and battery upgrade. It will sell well . All models should comes with Aod , up to individual to off it .

13 mini also has 120 herz refresh right? And the 2022SE has 60hz, does that impact usability/feel?
im just getting the SE, the black one im soo exited
Just picked up a 13 mini for $150 off! So much better camera and battery life, don’t really notice screen much.
@bootfan !! costco had a 2 day sale on blue iphone 13 mini.
@bootfan !! oops I just double checked and it was only $140.00 and that was in Canada.
The money difference between the SE and mini are soooooo worth it, for an entrance get a mini not an SE unless you really can’t afford it, because the mini is much better
I wanted to buy the 12 mini so bad but didn't have the budget now, I picked up the SE 2020 instead. Haven't been using iPhones since the 5s and i think the SE is gonna be my first again to dive in iOS again. at least as a phone. Been using iPad since the first pro model.
I am a small phone fan looking to upgrade from a 7 and found this very informative
I needed a second phone. I went with the red 13 mini. I did go with the 512gb cuz I put all my music and still have 400gb left for everything else.
Thanks Bro I definitely needed to see this review I’m definitely going with the 13 mini over the SE 2022 it just makes more sense
Nice video bre!
Do you get very hot playing? Does it heat up more or less compared to the iPhone 11, 12 or 13?
You can use the gestures on SE as well can't you. I don't like them, I switched to home button. I prefer the home button vs the face ID.
Honestly can come down to what your uses of the phone are for do you take a lot of pics then prob the extreme cameras for the extra features
I don’t take lots of pics but I never used iPhone till they added a flash I was a blackberry fan but I wanted the flash for the better camera picture
This so good vid I have SE atm and I’m looking at 13 mini I wanted to see the difference this told me all I needed to know :)
I would love to have a 13 mini with touch id,
but they don't make it, so i go for the SE,
yes just for the touch id
Hey Josh, those links to purchase the slider not available anymore. do you have another link affiliate with you. just making sure you got a cut of the order. Thanks!
Kind of late to the party but I was deciding between iPhone SE and 13 mini a while ago but ultimately went for the latter. I'm glad I did because it was totally worth the price difference.
The way I see it, the mini will last me a lot longer than the SE. I’m using this for many years to come.
Also most importantly the mini comes in green.
How? The SE has the same chip as the mini meaning it will get the same amount of updates.

When I saw that it came in green I was sold. I really need to stop doing that. I’ve bought soo much junk just because it came in green. I really should just spend less and get the SE. I don’t even use cameras..... but the 13 does come in green......mmmmmm...
@@donnydread7631 it’s a gooood green. It’s so worth the hole in my wallet
iPhone 13 mini all the way, no doubt about it. Yes, it's more expensive but it's worth the extra costs. SE2022 will bite you in the end, maybe even sooner rather than later.
