    Today I woke up at 7 am for work. My 13 mini was at 60%.
    13 hours later at 8pm, after I finished my second job, my 13 mini was still alive with 2% remaining. It got through a very long work day without charging starting at 60%. I’m impressed.

      @@18thSTVATO trust me. I was power hungry Android user and switch to the mini. A regular day at work, this phone will last a complete day just fine. You truly have to watch videos or gaming a lot to discharge it.
      I got 6 SOT just fine. Above that it's just having to much free time LOL
      Still you can use battery saving mode and get more than that.
      Just go for the mini 13

      @@chandanfire829 mostly wifi. I use cellular only on gym (around 1 hour training, just listening Spotify on Bluetooth and sometimes I already downloaded my music so no WiFi and no cellular) and public transportation just to scroll on social media or messaging
      I would say 90% wifi and 10% cellular.
      When I arrive my home and start watching RUclips is when this phone is power hungry and I see the battery draining.
      I end up my day with less than 10%, now if I use battery saving mode , I can squeeze more.
      I see many people having different battery life but on my case, it’s perfect for my need.
      Having said that, I think this phone has a “crazy” battery. I do believe it’s the best one when you are NOT USING. The battery drain for me is almost none, but sometimes when I use the battery saving mode, it consume more just doing nothing. I don’t know why.
      Also it worth mentioning, I still use an old 5 watt charger (local store gift) and battery protection at 80 percent, sometime I charge at 85.

    I have used a 13 mini for over a year, and I have to say, the battery life is pretty good. I have generally 60% - 70% left at the end of the day without charging during the day, with 2.5 hrs of use. I think that if the battery life is not enough for you, it is a sign that you need to cut back on usage unless you use it for navigation constantly or carplay.

    It used to be OK and I would make it through the day on a single charge. Other than the battery I just love my 13 mini. Best iPhone ever. If not for the battery.

      Yeah same, it seems as soon as my battery health went down to 89% the battery life went off a cliff. I used to have a good 30-40% battery left by the end of the day, now I'm at 40% by midday while barely using the phone. At least it sounds like it's not just me and it's happening to many people, but I'm so disappointed how the battery has held up long term.

      Thanks for watching! The 14 Pro would be a lot heavier than the 13 mini - but the cameras are much better on the 14 Pro (especially in low-light). I would also consider the 13 Pro as an option. A lot of us in the tech community have noticed that the 14 Pro has camera issues where it switches to the macro lens while you’re still far away from the subject. I feel like I took much better photos on the 13 Pro.

    This phone is so small that I can easily carry a mini powerbank.
    With that I can use it days….

    I use android but wish to switch to 13 mini. I wonder if battery life will be ok for me.
    Now I have SOT about 3,5 - 4h a day and battery life in my android device is 1,5 - 2 days. With mini will it be much less?

    My 13 pro is just over a month old and it’s down to 98%. Should I be worried?

    • @VittorTech
      @VittorTech  Год назад +8

      No I wouldn’t worry. It depends how heavily you use your phone. Heat is a major contributor to harming your battery so using a genuine charger and not an after market one might help have less heat while charging.
      Apple can replace your battery under the one-year warranty if it reaches below 80% within the first year.

      It's definitely not the phone for everyone. Gaming would be a battery killer for sure. It's also a downgraded display but it didn't make as large of a difference as I thought it would.
