@@qwertiee I completely agree. I have 13 pro max and a 13 mini using one for work and loving it. 13 mini lasts a day easily I recently started using it like kinda as main phone eg socials, RUclips, spotify so on and so forth and it still managed to do 6 hours screen on time.
Anybody who’s curious how 12 mini stacks up against 13 mini in battery. From previous videos the 12 mini’s screen on time is at 7 hours and 40 mins while 13 mini is at 8hours and 30 mins.
As someone who owns a 13 mini, I have been very pleased with the battery. I don't use 5G but I have my brightness on 75% with auto brightness off and most days I can get 6 hours sot by the time I get the 20% warning and that is including alot of youtube watching and Instagram lol. The only times its gotten low on me is if I forgot to charge it the previous night but even then I have a fast charging car charger so if I'm out and need juice I can just throw it on that. If you're upgrading from an Xs or older, battery is a HUGE improvement! It's much better than my previous pixel 4a.
Can you please do Low power mode vs Normal power mode test on the 13 Pro Max. Low power mode on the Pro models keeps the refresh rate at 60Hz so it would be good to see what the difference would be in either keeping it at 60Hz or allow it to vary depending on what content is being displayed.
Yes please! It seems to really help for the 2 weeks I’ve had the phone. I work 14 hour shifts and I can’t kill my 13PM no matter how hard I try in one day. Low battery mode makes a huge difference.
It Will Better work on 120hz rather then locked at 60hz, 120hz Will give more battery life Then 60hz coz of ltpo panel It Can goes upto 1~120hz depends on Particular Apps needs, so it Can't stick at 120hz all the time like in 60hz mode... Apple Implement it Very Perfectly.. kudos
The 13 mini is quite impressive, based on its wonderful size. I just recently bought the 13 mini and I couldn’t be happier (traded in my 13 pro as it was too big and heavy). If I do run a little low on battery later in the day I can charge the minis smaller battery quite quickly.
I wonder how long an android flagship would last if it had just 2400 mAH battery ? They usually require 5000 mAH to reach 10 hours, so I’m guessing less than 5 hours of SOT if 2400 mAH. Considering that mini reached 8.5 hours, it’s really impressive
what? the best android with 5000mah could only squeeze 8 to 9 hours at best . I never seen android go to 10 hors what kind of nonsense and lie is that?
I see these battery test going against smaller batteries with bigger batteries and having the 13 mini keep up with the 13 through the majority of the test shows how well the battery optimization that Apple has put in, it’s better than the 12 mini’s battery. I have the iPhone 12 mini and it’s battery is not bad it’ll last me pretty much through the day and I’m a heavy user. I look forward to getting the iPhone 13 mini and enjoying the small form factor. Maybe you should put the 13 mini and the 12 mini against other small battery smart phones and see how well they do that is where you’ll see how well the batteries do not against somebody that has 1000 mAh above the smaller phone.
i mean the 13 mini would still be a huge upgrade for people who still owns older iphones.. 8 hours screen on time in one charge would be enough for most people especially for people who still likes smaller iphones.
Probably a little worse, may have lost 5 or 10 percent to searching for signal. I have a 13 mini and I live in a rural area and I end the day around 30%.
It would do as well as any other phone that has poor signal strength. My Exynos S20U with 5000mAh gets 4-5Hr SoT just on wifi with slightly more standby time. So the mini is clearly a beast compared to my S20U!!
The iPhone 13 is just so good. The battery life, the camera, the screen etc. The only downsize imo is Sierra Blue is no where near as nice as Pacific blue last year
I love how they test the devices and perform the tests, I like all the videos and I have been subscribed since 300 thousand, please continue like this.
I have the mini I did 40 minutes of video and and about 30mins of call of duty on one day: and regular usage all day, by 11pm at night I had like 24% after a whole day of use. So I don’t think is bad at all!
The 13 minis battery life is amazing and in real world usage, 99.99% people will have 0 problems with it..in fact it is way better than even the IPHONE 12 (the normal not the mini) which is ridiculous for a battery that small…just go for the mini this year u will be very much satisfied given u don’t care about 120hz
You can turn off app background and some of the location that doesn’t need to be on all the time as well put it on battery saving and will give you extra power saving!
Seriously, we must recognize that Apple knows how to do it in terms of battery optimization. This mini has in fact practically the same autonomy as an Xs Max 😮.
I have the iphone 13 now but 2 months ago when I decided to get a new phone I chose the reg 13 over the mini because my hands were too big for the mini
hey phonebuff! there's a fraud in the comment section claiming to be u and replying people that they just won a giveaway and asking them for their number and address.He texted me also.Please acknowledge this.
For most people who use their phones for social media scrolling and watching videos, the 13 mini has a good enough battery life. It’s currently close to the end of the day for me as of writing this comment and I still have about 57% battery percentage left. The test I’m more interested in seeing is a battery life comparison between the normal iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 mini. According to Apple’s claims and many people who had both, the 13 mini and 12 have similar battery life.
@PhoneBuff Can you do a battery test of the Z Fold 3 unfolded vs. Z fold 3 folded? It would be interesting to see how much battery the larger screen uses.
Your commentary makes the 13 mini feel much inferior than it is. 24 hr of battery backup out of that size is CRAZY if you really think about it! We all know the 13 is better than mini in terms of battery life, but no one expects the little guy to last longer than the regular one.
I usally start my day with my 13 mini at 100% and when I get home from school its usally at 70%-50% depending on how much I used it I then use it until it gets to 20% and charge it which by then its probally 7-8pm and I charge it to maybe 60% and when I got to sleep at 10:30pm its usually at 30% put it to charge on slow charger and repeat.
I phone 13 mini still has a worse battery than last years iPhone 12 as that got 9h 2 mins of battery life. But I think that difference is negligible so mini’s battery life is pre good for the size
ahhhh I want the mini but nee the battery life of the 13 !! I'll have to flip a coin and maybe be prepared to charge through the day when I have a busy one
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?
knock off like 10% or more for when your phone is a cuople months old. My 13 pro was the beast when it was new...I notice it falling off alot faster (like all iphones or cell phones do) now that I have owned, charged and re-charged...my point being is the 13 mini will be even worse with time. if its small size you want its still the best option. I think the only option actually. anyway... Thanks for the test!
Same with everything phone so doesn't really make a difference to this test. A phones battery should'nt have noticeable battery change in a couple months.
Honestly 8 hours on 2400 mah? Not bad apple. Considering the capacity that's actually really impressive.
That would have seemed impossible a year ago. Wow apple wow.
APPLE THE KING
Yeah it is very impressive
Better that androids with 4000+ mah batteries lmao.
Not just that but it’s on light mode and at 50% brightness.
Imagine how long it would last in dark mode and low brightness.

no…60hz mode is also variable
If Apple can improve battery life this much from last year’s mini, they should keep the mini lineup
You have to applaud the mini though. Over 8 hours SOT for such a small battery. Out performs most phones from the past 12 months.

8,5 hours battery for such a small phone is incredible tho i saw it in the apple shop and it’s so small didn’t expect it too survive this long
Wow! Maybe the best battery test I have ever seen. Never seen anyone including, calling, texting and standby time! Excellent!

6 hour SOT was considered insane back in the days when premium androids had 2500mah (nexus 6 galaxy s6 iPhone 6 era)

I would take this trade-off. I freaking love the size of the 12/13 minis. Thanks for the video!
This is the best battery test format I've seen so far on RUclips!
17% vs the battery size being like 25% smaller? Not bad at all.
I wonder how much worse the mini would do if this test was on cellular with poor signal strength
Pretty bad, I have 12 mini and changed my carrier, had a horrible signal and battery drop like 2-3hrs of usage
Probably a little worse, may have lost 5 or 10 percent to searching for signal. I have a 13 mini and I live in a rural area and I end the day around 30%.
