am i the only one that’s seeing a black phone while he’s a referring to it as the “blue phone” lol
This is the midnight color. Same thing happened when I accidentally preordered a pink phone and thought it was red a few years ago 😃
It is a very very dark blue
So is it midnight black? Or…….just super super dark blue?
everyday dad making everyday dad mistakes
Cause there is definitely a color option called “blue” that looks “blue”.
Typing this on my 13 mini. Loving it so far I had the 11 pro max and I do not regret the downsizing, more pocket friendly, not that much of a battery life sacrifice vs the 12 mini. So happy I held out.
Currently typing this on my 13 Pro max with one 1TB option in the blue color way, and I am loving it so far. I used to have the 11 pro max with 256gb option and space grey and I can say im enjoying the new Marco camera and LiDAR Scanner.
How’s the typing experience? Does it really look that small like in the video ? What are your regrets
Is it around the same size as a iPhone 8?
@@Hi-qt2njwhy on the world would you need the freaking 1tb of storage🤔 bro i had 128 gb and i used 110gb now i have 256 gigs and there is 190 left i would never use that much i think 😂 but ok
Imagine if they make a mini pro that would be the dream size phone
I honestly was really hoping they would this year.. like a mini with the stainless steel 😍🤤💦😮💨😵💫😴
Exactly! That’s what I want. Mini size with all the pro features, lidar, third lense, 120 refresh pro motion!
Forgot about 120hz even if screen is 90 hz but dynamic changing then we can save battery when we are seeing statics content or video so small battery can be enough
Probably no space for a third lens and lidar. 120hz will drain a lot of battery even if it is variable.The battery on the mini isn't that great with 60hz so it doesn't make sense to put 120hz.maybe 90hz variable refresh rate
@@RandomUser-tj3mg battery on the 12 mini yes but nobody has tested the 13 mini yet tho lmao
Going to wait a year to see if the minis are truly discontinued. If they are, going from my 12 mini to the 13 mini and probably won't change for a very long time. The minis have been my favorite iPhones and I don't want to compromise on size for quality of phone.
I think if Apple discontinues this line it will not be for good but only till battery technology changes and let put much more capacity into same space.
@@marcingajek5418 one would hope that, but if the smaller phones don't sell as well just like the 12 mini, I don't think Apple would keep making them even if the battery was as good as the 12 pro max. I would love the mini lines to keep going, but the consumer demand hasn't met their standards yet.
I am pretty sure the mini will become the next iphone SE
@@nikolavonfulton5195 that would be dope. Would love to see the the 3rd or 4th gen SE have the mini body.
@@nikolavonfulton5195 Ikr? I honestly wouldn’t mind it - I would want for it to follow up as the next SE after Apple uses XR/11 body as the the next SE model.
Who gives a shit if the battery can’t get through an entire day use. People act like there aren’t chargers literally everywhere…
0:54 looks like their new black called Midnight or something (described by some as a dark navy blue), not the blue (2 blues actually; a really light pale blue & a more vibrant blue) 📲
Buy mini, save mini! The smaller screen is not an issue at all. Surprisingly, believe me you get used to smaller screen quickly and you won’t even miss the larger screen of 13. On the other hand it’s just so convenient to carry and pocket.
I don’t think the iPhone 12 mini was that disappointing in sale. Apple needed a boast, so it started the rumor that it was the last year. And now the sales are probably higher like the SE(2016).
Ahhh I definitely want the mini, it's too bad they plan to discontinue mini's after this, but it makes sense I guess. I'm tired of my phone being too big
same here. ima start saving for the 13 mini too. when the 14 series come out they should still sell the 13 and 13 mini cuz that’s what they’re doing now with the 12 and 12 mini so that gives us a lot of time to save
I'm a lil bit tight rn but i forced myself to buy this as my first and last phone replacing my samsung m series lol 🤣😆🙈
Typing this on my new 13 mini. Awesome. I have an iPhone 11 for work, and the mini is almost jarringly small next to it. I’m replacing a 6 and even compared to the 6 it feels compact. Can do everything with one hand again for the first time in years. Love it.
That’s what she said 🎉
Never considered the Mini until you sang it's praises. Was gonna get the 13 Pro. But I decided to get the Mini and an iPad Pro 11 with cellular for looking at stuff and more intensive work. Phone just for phone and camera. I LOVE the size of the mini. Had to snag one before this size disappears. Thanks man!
I feel with the 13 mini, you can grasp it easily. You can easily hide it in your pocket which is nice.
When you do a deeper review, please comment on whether the new antenna system on the 13 Mini gets better reception than the 12 Mini. Thanks!
Yes, I have the same concern. Max over at MaxTech experienced poor reception that was definitely caused by the 12 Mini. I too, ordered the Starlight Mini 128GB. Thanks Everyday Dad!
I'm definitely getting better download speeds on the 13 mini vs the 12 mini
HERE WE GO!!!! I’m planning on getting one! I’m definitely looking forward to a longer battery life. I know it won’t be crazy but still.
I'll wait for the battery tests but I'm really inclined to buy the standard 13 because it's battery life increase suits my use, although I'm in love with this form factor.
@@rodrigocalderaro8792 My hands hold the mini better, hence why I like the smaller versions.
@@archangel4316 totally the same here, small hands, but battery hungry 😬 I'm buying it for photos and video research documentation, need a full day on battery. I really hope for a miracle on iphone mini's battery, indeed.
@@rodrigocalderaro8792 I use it for lots of music streaming and just every day use. Lots of phone calls as well.
@@rodrigocalderaro8792 video research?? why dont you just buy a camera? itll probably be more worth it
Would love to see what sets the mini apart from the 13 pro line up. For example camera and video quality, charging speeds, one hand usage, sound quality for watching videos, and of course battery life.
*FUN FACT : WE LOVE WATCHING THINGS WE CAN'T AFFORD 😂😂*
Damn😂
This will be my next smartphone, in a couple of years :D
For those wondering 12mini vs 13mini battery difference = 1 hour 13 mins "If i can figure it out, YOU can figure it out" ;) (toms guide as source). You're welcome.
Pro's cameras in min's size that would b the perfect smartphone ever
This is the colour combo I’m going for Midnight x Clover 🔥
iPhone 13 Minis are tiny but that means I can sneak mine to lunch bc they are not aloud in the building😭✋ I wanna take a photo of the weird stuff they serve us
I've been looking forward to this video for so long lol...can't wait to get mine in a few days in starlight!
6:53 “woohoo that looks… like every other iPhone ever”
Finally someone who actually has the phone and not rambling about for 10min
Just upgraded from the XS to a Product Red 13 Mini. Was hoping to be able to wait til later in the year, when my XS loses access to the latest iOS, but the battery decided to become incredibly untrustworthy, so here we are.
Loving it so far. Had to use an iPhone 6 for about a month last year, so the size isn’t freaking me out. And I’m really looking forward to making good use of the phone’s MagSafe capabilities.
Thanks, as always, for the content!
Hey dude - great channel and review for the iPhone 13 mini. No one reviewed it standalone except you! TY
underrated tech youtuber
My one rant. Please share your device analytics, ESPECIALLY if you’re an advanced power user. It doesn’t just collect data on how you use your device, but also collects data on what you TRY to do with your phone. You’re the creative minds that can lead to more features in the future, so sharing your device analytics goes much further than the average user.
No
After 1 Year, This phone still my favourite one.
"I love the mini but I have the max in my pocket..." :))
I ordered the 13 Mini and it is supposedly being delivered today. I'm quite excited to get it. This should be quite a step up from the 6s Plus I currently have.
Did you get it?!
@@Painfulwhale360 FedEx’s tracking app says it’s still in Memphis but will be delivered by 4:30…I’m in northern Wisconsin.
@@howardjansen1783 did you get it yet
I have the 12 mini. And I hope to get the 13 mini for Christmas this year
Just brought mine today in midnight😍😍and i loveee the compact sizeee
I waited until the SE 3rd Gen came out as I like the 1st and 2nd Gen; but I decided that the 13 mini is so much more that I bought it. It is well worth it. Priced in the 128 G basic on the 13 mini and the $150 trade in from Apple, and it was well worth it. Love you reviews. Clear and thorough. Thanks for the help.
Is it just me that loves the sound of him setting his phone down on the table? He has an awesome mic
If the mini battery is not enough, You don't have to go with the Pro Max this year, you can buy the 6.1 inch Pro... no compromises, and smaller
The 13 pro is a friggin 204g. The mini is only 141g. 13 pro will definitely cause hand strain
I've been a Samsung user since and wanting to try iPhone 😅 going to get the 12mini but ddnt know apple is launching the 13s 😅 so I'm gonna wait for your FULL MINI REVIEW before I get mine ☺
Loved this video i am getting one soon and i am super excited
I am wanting to switch from an android to an apple and do not like all the big screens and the Mini looks perfect for me and you happened to have convinced me to buy one 🤑🤑💰💰
Just got my 12 mini yesterday from my provider and loved it!! Been on android for the last 6 years and I totally enjoyed it. Snapped an ultra thin case on it and a tempered glass 😃
It lasted 8-9hrs with regular use while I was working and still has about 10% juice left at the end of the day.
Back to iOS !
Can't wait to get my 12 mini soon!
@@manni06 I’ve had one since Christmas, I was one one of the betas that reduced my battery health to 88% in like 3 days, but it still has more than enough battery from me, even using a vpn.
I’m not even 18 but I love this dad phone 📱
Can you try testing the cinematic feature outdoors when you’re jogging?
The adhesive on the sticker likely makes it unrecyclable.
what about a 13 mini that folded into a flip phone...
OK, hear me out… Pre-Order a 13 mini, 512gb, with AppleCare+, with a full body real leather magsafe case to go with it and magsafe battery pack (to use as night charger too). The idea being to have an ultra-durable, one-handed, premium phone that will outstand during the next 4-6 years… In two years time get apple to change the battery and screen before the coverage runs out, and ride it out until the future phoenix resurrection of the mini.
They should have named it the “Air”. I’m calling mine “Steve”, really think it’s the one phone now that still honors Job’s vision.
You should just pay for Apple care+ monthly since it is the better deal
How do you get them to replace the screen and battery?
Better buy a more durable case like Rhinoshield or something. Leather case wears out and not so durable.
Can you pls pls try to edit a full video in lumafusion on the IPhone for the full review?
I am looking for a camera phone and this camera is so good. Thank you for making this video!
I think it was midnight not blue color 😅 however i was waiting for your review for 13 mini 💪🏼
Can you do a battery life comparison between the mini 12 and mini 13?
Yeah battery is my main curiosity too
its a 2 hour difference Yuh
@@tangho you have the 13 mini?
@@ashwinibeknalkar7482 the iphones just came out today lmfao nobody has them yet
I did reserach form toms guide said this = concerning ot me idk. ""The iPhone 13 mini fared better but not by as big a margin. The new mini lasted for 8 hours and 41 minutes, while last year's iPhone 12 mini notched 7:28. Still, we'll take the increase as battery life has been one of the mini's biggest flaws." = 1 hour 13mins difference."
I'm looking forward to improved battery life. That's my main goal with getting the 13 mini. I had a regular 12 and it had pretty good battery life. I'm hoping the mini will match that at least.
Initial tests seem to be right on par with the 12 which is decent
apple says it’s 1.5 hrs longer so it should be good
Check mrwhosetheboss latest video. 13 mini lasts longer than 12 by a hour. But real time usage may differ because of cellular connection
I have the 12 pro but want the 13 mini cause of the size…would the battery be the at least the same?
I hear real life tests show 12 mini vs 13mini difference is about 1 hour, don't believe the hype."The iPhone 13 mini fared better but not by as big a margin. The new mini lasted for 8 hours and 41 minutes, while last year's iPhone 12 mini notched 7:28. Still, we'll take the increase as battery life has been one of the mini's biggest flaws." = 1 hour 13mins difference.
a comparison with 12 mini is seriously needed!!
Hopefully this phone sells well
I'm planning to buy this iPhone because this one seems like it can perfectly fit in my hand.
the perfect size for a smartphone imo
Pre-ordered a 13 mini in midnight off best buy for $100 off. I can't wait to test it out!
great video my guy!!!
Get my 13 mini tomorrow. I wanted everything the 12 Pro Max had in a smaller form factor. I never use telephoto or the front facing night mode so those weren’t important to me. Besides I look ridiculous pulling pro max out of my pocket.
i just got one getting it at 5 so exited
prob goona see my comment in like 5 years lol
Great video! Keep us informed with the mini really has better battery life. The size is awesome.
mini is my favourite and pulls out his pro out of the pocket:)
getting the 13 mini too!! so excited✨🎉
I’m 16. And I’m using a 12 mini. And for my 17 birthday I’m going to get the 13 mini
Been waiting for this video!!!
I notice you refer to this phone as blue and comparing it with the 12 blue. I think the blue of the 13 lineup is the other more obvious one
One of my favourite reviews.. after others reviews ive seen..
I ordered the Midnight iPhone 13. I took it to be black, but reviews I have watched basically say it's a midnight blue. I hope it is, because I love that color.
I returned my 13PM and opted for the 13mini and I don’t regret it. I use my mini for calls and texts (not Texas, 😂) and my 12.9 IPad Pro for everything else. Cheers!
I love your channel so much. You would be such a cool dad
"I know last year the 13 mini came in a small box" HAHA! That's the 12 mini
Ordered one in blue this afternoon.
Just got mine in the mail today!!!!
Can't wait for your 13 mini review ^^
My favorite is that the iPhones are mini models. I used to run 12 thousand and now 13 thousand
This is Midnight (aka Black).
Blue even got lighter this year compared to last ones.
Thank you for covering the mini!
I’d like to see a comparison of the video quality between the Mini and the Pro.
The 13 mini is going to be lit 🔥🔥🔥 I went with the product red ♥️ I can't wait for mine to arrive on Friday :)
Wow…nice
My iPhone 13 mini is due to arrive tomorrow and I was hoping that you would give me a hint as to how to transfer all my data from my 6 plus to my new mini? Maybe another video?
It’s nice to see this cute guy making videos
btw you can set up the phone without Apple ID just click you'll set up later
I wish there was an iPhone mini 13 pro. I would totally buy it.
I also want 13 mini .. waiting for your review to see how the battery goes this time ..
If battery your main concern, why not get a battery case?
The only thing I'm really concerned about is the battery life. I know this year's models are better but I wonder what they're like irl use cases.
They have battery cases…. Battery should never be an issue for people. Just buy a battery case like mophie
i love my 12 mini and cannot wait for the 13 mini
Why do they have to call it the mini? Makes it seem like a lesser phone.
Just got mine in the mail today
How is the battery life?
No battery percentage for smaller notch= WHY? Is it REALLY leaps better, why hide it?
@The Everyday Dad you said last year iPhone 13 mini came also in the small box (0:31)
I enjoyed your unboxing. Thanks and blessings on your day.
I LOVE the design of the 13 mini
Sir you’re everywhere how do u have time
@@Colevxs2526 I just have notifications turned on is all
@@ConorORegan hahha Makes sense!🥰
@@ahmedalsadi0010 oh yea ofc!
@@Colevxs2526 Then u must be everywhere too. Lol
So they might cancel the best form factor over the outdated se body style and features?
If only apple made a mini pro phone (120hz, long life battery, more pro cameras), that would definitely sell a lot.
They would if it's possible. U can't have longer battery life and 120hz at the same time. Pick one or the other. They had to change the layout to fit a slightly bigger sensor. Forget about fitting a third lens and a lidar on it.
@@RandomUser-tj3mg of course we’ve thought that, but is it that impossible for apple to have all in one?
@@LKpixels yea unless they know witchcraft. And then again. It's not a popular line. The sales are not meeting apples expectations to consider putting those features
@@RandomUser-tj3mg True, lol! But if they make it happened, it could be the popular line tho.
I’m getting my 13 mini on Saturday !
Back when big phones were becoming popular, I had an inclination that in 5-6 years small phones will start becoming popular again. And, what do we know? It’s actually happening. I switched from a Plus iPhone to a 13 Pro, and now I wana switch to 13 Mini.
I had a iPhone 10 and it actually hurt my hands because it was small for me. I was used to the 8 plus size but I guess everyone is different
“I wish the sides and back were mate finish” slaps on a green “silic-on” case… “iphone mini is the perfect size” …pulls out his iPhone 12 pro max he’s currently using for comparison. Haha jk great videos man keep up the great work!
Gary can you compare the battery life between the iPhone 13 Mini and 2nd gen SE?
So don’t let you keep the phones? What do they do with them?
So how’s the battery working so far?
