The battery life isn't an issue for the person who is going to buy this phone. The reason we want a small phone is because we don't use our phones like crazy and aren't on them all the time. The 13 mini is small enough that it isn't annoying to carry in a pocket like the vast majority of phones today are.
Had my 13 mini less than a year, battery health is 95%, daily usage, on heavy use I will charge but usually lasts all day. Love the size, the iOS 16 update, features are fine by me. The battery health concerns me slightly though.
Great video. I got mine recently and I love it. I was actually holding out to see if they would do a 14 mini because I was due an upgrade at release. They didn’t, so I just went with the 13, and don’t regret it. I’m 36, but have arthritis in my hands which developed over the past 2 years. My Samsung S20 was too big and heavy, but this mini series is perfect for folks like me. I hope they consider doing a release every few years, but I guess we never really know what Apple will do 😬
Thanks 🙏 Appreciate the kind words. Yes, totally agree, the mini is a perfect size. You never know, Apple may re-introduce the mini a few years down the line.
Go for it! I came up from an SE 1st gen & when I turn it back on I notice right away all that screen real estate that I've been losing all these years! Battery is much nicer. SE was on 83% and consumed roughtly 30% from watching a 45min YT video. Would be lucky to get 2 1/2hrs of video playback before she kicked the bucket. 13 mini is awesome & if you get a battery case she'll last you nearly 4 days if you're light user like me.
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.
Just traded in my 12 mini for the 13 version mostly for the larger battery. The 14 may have it's features but I don't want a phone the size of a tea tray.
I just got my iphone 13 mini and so far I am loving it. Battery is good, though I charge it once a day. I mainly use social media but I do watch youtube and one game (Tour of Neverland). I love the compact size!
My battery health was for 5 moths 100%. I am heavy social media user. For the past 3 months without changing my usage I started noticing mostly after charging to 100% which I always avoid it would drop 1% health. Currently just dropped to 94%. Initially thought I can have it at 100% health since I cycle the battery between 20-30% and unplug at 80-90%
I have had my phone for 10 months and the battery is still at 100 percent. I don’t fast charge the phone and don’t play games on the phone which I feel is why the battery still has great health.
great vid, also not sure why someone said the sound quality is awful, I thought it was great. Bought the 13 mini myself last week. Love the phone. I saw a little chip on the camera ring on the back of your iPhone, other than that looks pristine.
Thanks ✌ Appreciate the support. Yeah, the 13 mini is a great phone. Good spot about the chip on the camera. I think I scratched it some sand got caught on the edge whilst I was trying to clean it. Aside from that. Still a great phone. Yeah, not sure why someone said the sound quality is bad 🤷♂️. I thought the sound was good enough. Thanks for confirming that sound was good for you.
Great video and information. I’m planning to upgrade my XR which I bought on 2018 and I am interested on this 13 mini since I like smaller phones and I am not a heavy usage user as well. Thanks for sharing this video.
@jed Dizon I did just that. Upgraded from XR to iphone 13 mini just last week. Never regretted it. Loved the compact size. Its basically an iphone 14 in a small body.
loving my 13 mini with 99% BH , feels so comfy in hand gives approx 9 to 10hrs of sot on single charge without gaming which is pretty much impressive for me
same can get 2-3days with light usage before charge. Typically 2 days as I try not to go below that 20%. Noticed I lose roughtly 1% for every 6-7mins for calling somebody & 9-12% for every hr of video playback with medium brightness & 80-85% volume used. This is on Wifi usage, but LTE was slightly more battery, but not much.
@@dbzownz12345 yeah the same is for me for wifi as m a heavy user so i charge everyday but generally on wifi 8 to 9 hrs on single charge works good from 100 to 2 or 3% but yeah on lte its little bit less but still its enough for me plus i have power bank so no need to worry , afterall this phone feels so handy nd compact in hand having all high levels of capabilities
@@amangiri4402 Great to hear that. I actually have been feeling not so good about battery these past few days. For some reason I get roughtly 6mins per 1% of battery. Is that normal for you? My battery health is 100%. Feels little low to me considering i'm using wif at this time. I think I may try a 13 and see the difference in my daily usage.
straight to the points, thanks for the video! I am choosing between iPhone 12 pro (loving tele lens) and 13 mini (awesome form factor), and the battery is the only thing I am worried when it comes to the mini. Also, I won't be surprised if Apple brings back mini as iPhone SE in couple of years.
I got my 13 mini when it came out. It's the longest I've had a phone in the current age of new models every year. I know for Apple that the mini didn't sell very well, but I see so many RUclipsrs saying they returned the max for the mini and how much more they like it, or just general praise for the mini over other models. It's a massive shame that Apple doesn't plan another mini. My dream is that they bring out a new design for the SE and it's just a rebranded mini. My mini's battery capacity is at 88% which isn't ideal but I love the form factor so much, and general great experience from one handed use.
I bought it and had it for a week. I went back in store and replaced with the regular 13. I didn’t like that battery life. The low power mode didn’t really help at all, if anything, it adds on 30 seconds - 1 minute for every 1 percent drain. So yeah, I don’t recommend it for the regular to heavy users. But if you like the small size and you’re just a low to regular user, then yeah get this phone.
Thank you for the video. I’m really looking and searching for videos regarding iPhone 13 Mini with iOS 16, although it’s only short. Anyways, I bought my iPhone 13 Mini from a person only who used the phone for a month around July 2022 and I would say I never gone wrong after all the research of videos and articles in the internet. I am really fond of small phones coz I have an iPhone 6s before upgrading to 13 Mini. My 6s was my second phone before but when got my 13 mini, it has been my primary phone for photos aside from my Galaxy S21 Ultra. Now that I watched your video, I’ll update my 13 mini to iOS 16 when 16.1 will be released.
Thanks for taking the time to checkout the video ✌. Yeah, I made the iOS16 short as there are plenty of other videos with iSO 16 and just wanted to highlight the major difference in what is missing in the mini. But glad it helped anyway.
I've been debating on 13 mini or XS. Size was a major selling point. Tried the XR, didn't like the finger gymnastics I had. XS was nice, but a tad big for me. Sweet spot is mini, coming from a 2016 SE this should be no surprise for me. Took me awhile to make the jump as I was being frugal, but then reminded myself I kept my SE from 2017-now. Plan on keeping the mini till sometime 2027 or so when it loses support.
I have my 13 mini also 9 months now (switched from Android). I’m always surprised what was/is missing in iOS like battery % or always-on. Strange, but there aren’t any other same-size phones so I have to deal with it :)
I'm trying the 15 and it's great, but I'm probably going to return it and go back to my 13 mini for its pocket ability (size) and weight. The mini is such a perfect size phone if you carry it in your front pocket. I hope Apple will bring it back soon in an updated version. I've never had any battery issues. Your photos look amazing! Do you use any photo apps, or are they straight out of camera?
Great review, thank you 🎉. Is there any differences in terms of 5G antenna between the mini and the normal/pro version? I live in the South UK and we've got 5g here but not very reliable as in London. Thank you
I am also an Apple fan and a fellow RUclipsr with my own channel (about martial arts and history) and I liked your video. I concur with the fact that it would be nice if the battery could remain at 100%.. but it is part of life I think. Still I really think that it would be better if there was no info about the percentage of the battery as it happens to the IPads.. in Italy where I live.. it is a headache to read every time about the battery issues.. eheh This said I subscribed to your channel. I am your 1001 person eheh. It is always nice to help each other.. especially when we are fellow RUclipsrs and we have small channels. Thank you for your video 😊
i got mine about 9 months ago and the battery life is already at 90%. I dont know how that happened, i tried everything to make it last longer. I definetly do NOT recommend this phone to people that use their phones a lot
@@plutten2017 idk 😭😭😭 i still have this phone and the battery health went down to 87%. i heard that the iphone 14’s battery life is really good but i don’t know if it’s true. You should 100% watch more videos of people reviewing phones long term or ask someone for advice
Mine is at 89% battery health and maaaaan, you need to activate low power mode to get through the day or charge before going out. I did not expect the battery to deplete within a year. 😅😅😅 I guess this is part of the planned obsolescence hahaha
Hi Chuen, great video! I have two quick questions if you don't mind.. What storage option do you have on the mini? Do you use 5G or 4G? Just wondering if using 5G would have a significant impact on battery rather than 4G. Thanks :)
Hey Jamie! The mini I have is 128GB of storage. And I actually switch off 5G now and then, cos when I'm in central London, it can get very congested. I've not noticed a significant difference with battery life with 5G on or off. This article may help: www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/does-5g-drain-battery/
16.0.3 and still no battery percentage 😢 I have iPod and iPad so I never have low phone batter.. but I would really like to have easier access to battery percentage. I hope my adorable mini can last till the next SE 😭
I love my iPhone mini. It's not my main phone so battery isn't a problem for me. If this is your only phone then invest in a battery pack. That way you can charge it while on the go.
Just got my phone yesterday as early Christmas gift and passing my exam last week from husband. I’m not a heavy user as I only use it whenever I need to order something online or take a photo/video of our baby but I felt this is not the model I should be using. This video really helps a lot I will use it well. Thanks for this insights.^^
regular phones are so large that they don't even fit completely inside my back pocket, and will often slide out and hit the ground when I get out of my car. the mini does not do that
This time last year, I went from the iPhone 7 to the XS, while my kids went from the X to the 13 Pro. I'm really not a fan of the weight of their phone. I'll probably stay with XS until Apple stops giving it the latest iOS, at which point I'm seriously considering swapping to a 13 Mini. It'll probably be 2nd hand, but I really can't see Apple reintroducing a Mini - unless the next SE uses the discontinued size.
Love your videos, my regular 13 is sitting at 98% with only 4 months of use, but i do consume a lot of media on it, so maybe that is it... anyway, great device!! Also, love your wallpaper, where did you get it? Thanks!!!
Thank you for the video. I have been using the Samsung S10e for 2 years now and the battery is awful now. I only get 2 or maybe 3 hours of screen ontime (no photos/videos, no gaming) Do you think that the battery of the 13mini will suit me or do you think its to bad?
@@ChuenL I usually have around 4 to 5 hours screen ontime on my S10e. I'd like to switch from android to apple because I really like the improvements of the new ios versions
I got the 13 mini about when it came out I’ve been using the MagSafe charger since the day I got it and my battery life is at 89% have you been using the wired charging?
I went from the 14 pro max to the 11 pro. Key word, pro. Size reasons, the 5.8 is perfect. Only missing is 5g, iso-motion, 120hz and the pill. Camera better too on the 14 pro max, but screen resolution etc are the same and oh battery life is better.
I don't need the latest and greatest and would consider myself a light to medium user and I almost never get through a full day of battery life ! I'm unsatisfied with it and want to trade for a i12😏
@@ChuenL the Apple MagSafe battery is so good for the iPhone battery life. I have heard that the others do come with issues regarding overheating the phone. Not so with the Apple MagSafe
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).Also after the iOS upgrate to 16.5 the battery life has become awful and my phone gets hot really fast evenif I just scroll socialmedia. 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?
My advice is to try out the base 13 model out in store - get a proper feel for it. I was like you when I bought the 13 mini, my initial reaction was it’s small size. I was amazed on how comfortable it was, felt like I didn’t needed a case for since it was small enough to feel protected and secure in my hands. But that battery life isn’t want you’d call “long enough” in today’s smartphones’ standards. It won’t last you a day of regular to heavy use. I changed all the settings from turning off the iCloud to deleting all the unwanted applications, it didn’t really help. It was still chugging battery. Low power mode wasn’t much help either… My recommendation is the regular 13 but try it out in store first and get a feel for it. That Mini just doesn’t cut it in my books, even if it is the most comfortable smartphone I’ve ever held, it just doesn’t justify that battery life.
Also, the regular iPhone 13 lasts me 15 - 17 hours with 7 - 9 hours of screen on time, whilst the 13 Mini lasts me a fraction: around 7 - 8 hours with ~4 hours of screen on time (both phones with socials, games, video streaming and Spotify).
Man, do not misguide. Goodie goodie review won’t help. The fact is iphone13 mini (brand new set) screen time is hardly 2 to 2.5 hr , after that ur battery level is below 20%. Meaning post few hr of google map and camera uses, it sucks. iPhone is pathetic always when it comes to battery power.
The battery life isn't an issue for the person who is going to buy this phone. The reason we want a small phone is because we don't use our phones like crazy and aren't on them all the time. The 13 mini is small enough that it isn't annoying to carry in a pocket like the vast majority of phones today are.
I agree with you!
exactly! I just want to text and call on it and post a bit on instagram
The perfect phone
I use my phone whole day and i ordered 13 mini, i just like its size
That makes zero sense. Smaller phone doesn’t mean you use your phone less.
Had my 13 mini less than a year, battery health is 95%, daily usage, on heavy use I will charge but usually lasts all day. Love the size, the iOS 16 update, features are fine by me. The battery health concerns me slightly though.

I got the iPhone 13 mini as well, I love it. i’m going to miss the compact iPhone very much.
I too switched to a mini due to RA on my wrists. Hope you get better…
Finally upgrading from the SE 2nd generation to the 13 mini after 2 years and I’m excited 😊

I’m not a heavy user as I only use it whenever I need to order something online or take a photo/video of our baby but I felt this is not the model I should be using. This video really helps a lot I will use it well. Thanks for this insights.^^
regular phones are so large that they don't even fit completely inside my back pocket, and will often slide out and hit the ground when I get out of my car.
the mini does not do that
Verizon offered me 800$ in credit to give up my 12 mini for a 14 Pro, I was totally satisfied with my mini but it’s hard to refuse an offer like that
be careful they lock u into a 3 year contract.
@@scottw595 I already found that out the hard way, if I knew what I know now I would have just purchased the new iPhone 14 Pro and kept my 12 mini
This time last year, I went from the iPhone 7 to the XS, while my kids went from the X to the 13 Pro. I'm really not a fan of the weight of their phone.
I'll probably stay with XS until Apple stops giving it the latest iOS, at which point I'm seriously considering swapping to a 13 Mini. It'll probably be 2nd hand, but I really can't see Apple reintroducing a Mini - unless the next SE uses the discontinued size.
Battery lasts long enough, got 92% after 10 Months, including traveling for 4 months with a lot of google maps

Love your videos, my regular 13 is sitting at 98% with only 4 months of use, but i do consume a lot of media on it, so maybe that is it... anyway, great device!!
Also, love your wallpaper, where did you get it?
Thanks!!!
Hey, thanks for the kind words! It's a custom made wallpaper I made. You can get it for free for a limited time: ko-fi.com/s/cfcd51f6a4

How did you change your carrier name to "3"?
i have a iphone 7 66%batery,in February Im going to buy the 13 mini. Should I buy it in February the price is going to be smaller
I have an i phone SE 2006 my battery is at 94%.
Thank you for the video. I have been using the Samsung S10e for 2 years now and the battery is awful now. I only get 2 or maybe 3 hours of screen ontime (no photos/videos, no gaming) Do you think that the battery of the 13mini will suit me or do you think its to bad?
Thanks ✌. It might suit you. Depends if you are a medium to heavy phone user. Then there's the question of switching from Android to Apple.
@@ChuenL I usually have around 4 to 5 hours screen ontime on my S10e. I'd like to switch from android to apple because I really like the improvements of the new ios versions

How is the picture quality/clarity in indoor lights esp. on faces? does it gets grainy when zooming on face?
I got the 13 mini about when it came out I’ve been using the MagSafe charger since the day I got it and my battery life is at 89% have you been using the wired charging?
how long will the iphone 13 be available, now that the iphone 14 series released?
Never seen a mini anywhere in my city
Great Vid,
Sure u will.haev more subs
My 13 mini after 13 months has only 90% battery health.
I'm planning to switch to 13 mini from 13 pro max but I would definitely notice the difference between 120hz and 60hz😢
I went from the 14 pro max to the 11 pro. Key word, pro.
Size reasons, the 5.8 is perfect.
Only missing is 5g, iso-motion, 120hz and the pill. Camera better too on the 14 pro max, but screen resolution etc are the same and oh battery life is better.
I don't need the latest and greatest and would consider myself a light to medium user and I almost never get through a full day of battery life ! I'm unsatisfied with it and want to trade for a i12😏
How battery with ios 16?
Samsung s series also have poor battery life, so that's not a problem for top model phones in both brands
Was that Alexandra Palace in one of your photos?
Yup! That is Alexandra Palace!

I bought and use a MagSafe Battery from Apple and the results are amazing
Just the convenience of a magsafe battery, so much better than carrying around extra cable.
@@ChuenL the Apple MagSafe battery is so good for the iPhone battery life. I have heard that the others do come with issues regarding overheating the phone. Not so with the Apple MagSafe
I got the battery case is a amazing fro travel 😅
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).Also after the iOS upgrate to 16.5 the battery life has become awful and my phone gets hot really fast evenif I just scroll socialmedia. 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?
My advice is to try out the base 13 model out in store - get a proper feel for it. I was like you when I bought the 13 mini, my initial reaction was it’s small size. I was amazed on how comfortable it was, felt like I didn’t needed a case for since it was small enough to feel protected and secure in my hands.
But that battery life isn’t want you’d call “long enough” in today’s smartphones’ standards. It won’t last you a day of regular to heavy use. I changed all the settings from turning off the iCloud to deleting all the unwanted applications, it didn’t really help. It was still chugging battery. Low power mode wasn’t much help either…
My recommendation is the regular 13 but try it out in store first and get a feel for it. That Mini just doesn’t cut it in my books, even if it is the most comfortable smartphone I’ve ever held, it just doesn’t justify that battery life.
Also, the regular iPhone 13 lasts me 15 - 17 hours with 7 - 9 hours of screen on time, whilst the 13 Mini lasts me a fraction: around 7 - 8 hours with ~4 hours of screen on time (both phones with socials, games, video streaming and Spotify).
Do you miss the tele ? ❤
Small is small everything is smaller
Hi do you have the battery percentage indicator? Thanks
It comes with iOS 16.1 for the minis

All y'all need to get off yo phone.

Focus on yo duty and be done with it!
Man, do not misguide. Goodie goodie review won’t help.
The fact is iphone13 mini (brand new set) screen time is hardly 2 to 2.5 hr , after that ur battery level is below 20%. Meaning post few hr of google map and camera uses, it sucks. iPhone is pathetic always when it comes to battery power.
iPhone mini is for guys with small hands 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
You need a new mic my friend.Awful sound quality.
Hey, I've been looking at a few microphones. Do you have a mic you can recommend aside from the popular Shure SM7B?

Really? I think the sound quality is very good.
Sounds is fine
Sound Quality, video quality, content quality, all 100 from my vantage.
