13 mini user. One time I was at Target picking up an order and one of their employees (who was a teenager) thought I had an older phone because how small the screen is. I realized that a bigger screen represents more of a status symbol or newer technology. This perception could also be why the sales for 13 mini is so low.

I bought the iPhone 13 Mini despite having watched countless reviews suggesting the battery life was poor…improved yes but still not great. I took the plunge and have been thrilled to find my concerns were unfounded. For regular people like me who play a couple games, watch a couple KZitem vids, check social media and the news during the day this phones battery is ample. I regularly go to bed with 30% remaining. If you’re a normal user you will have ZERO issues.

Exactly. I think people are buying the higher end models being afraid that the 13 mini will not be up to the task of a daily user with work family and entertainment. It is the opposite. I can do all this and still have power at the end of the day around 25-40% and all without carrying around a brick in my pocket. Going out on dog walks everyday and working on cars with a big phone after while is annoying imo. So after 2 years of owning the iPhone 11 and it being so big with a case caused me friction in my day to day life so the switch to the mini was a game changer in my daily life. And again battery life is not a issue at all for a daily user. If you wanna play games or watch videos at home just use a pc or a tv. If I had a big business though I would probably buy a 13 pro max since I would probably be using it a lot more doing business. Pick the right iPhone for your situation, don’t pick a iPhone because of what others think. iPhone 13 mini is the underdog IMO.

I don't own a battery pack and don't intend to. My logic or 2cents opinion which means nothing... The whole point of the Mini is to keep it a "Mini", being able reach the whole screen with your hand the phone rest in. If you put the battery pack on it become bulky, heavier, and a little more difficult getting in and out your jeans, It becomes not so "Mini" anymore. I would also point out that the majority of folks probably have a charger in their car and at their work place if charging is needed. My 2 cents!

I bought the 13 mini on launched day. It was the first time I ever bought an Apple product on launch day, quite an interesting experience btw. Overall, I really love it. It’s my favorite Apple product I own and keep in mind, I also have the M1 MacBook Air and 2018 iPad Pro, both of which have impressive hardware as well. The 13 mini just feels amazing to use because of it size. Also, the fact that I get almost no compromises from picking the smaller phone compared the “standard” iPhone 13 is just amazing. It’s just amazing how a phone as small as the the 13 mini has a screen that feels immersive, a very impressive camera, and pretty good battery life. So it really does break my heart to know that not a lot of people but the smaller iPhones. I mean I get why. The “mini” monicker does imply “less” or “cheap” which is true to some degree. The 13 mini is the cheapest new flagship iPhone which is still pretty expensive. But that shouldn’t deter people from buying it. But I guess the real reason is just the screen size. While 5.4” is big enough for me and likely for most people. When there are bigger options available, whether if it’s from the more expensive market or the cheaper price range in the Android side, people will naturally go to the largest screen size they can get. That’s what happens when the smartphone has become people’s primary computer. They want to have the largest screen size available that they can carry around. While I think that sentiment is stupid and people shouldn’t be on their phones too much. It’s something that the market wants, and there’s nothing we can do to change that. So it will be sad to see the mini go. But at least I can be happy with the fact that I bought something that represents an interesting chapter in the history of the iPhone.

I got a blue 13 Mini back in October and I love it. The size is compact, but not too small, and the battery life is every bit as good as the iPhone 11 I upgraded from. I've yet to kill it in a single day, and there are days where I intentionally don't charge it, just to stress and see if it's actually good battery life or if I'm just saying it is to make me feel better about my purchase (which sounds super weird, now that I type it out). Even when I'm pushing 7 hours of SoT (mainly through KZitem, Reddit, Instagram, and ESPN apps), I still haven't killed it before I go to bed. The only actual downside I've noticed so far from the mini is that the speakers aren't quite as loud as some of the larger iPhone models, but that's really quite alright because I tend to keep my AirPods on me everywhere I go. Overall I'm very happy with the mini - and the blue color is just fantastic.

If I plug in the phone at night and I wake up with 100%, with my 5-6 hours of screen on time, I usually end up the day with 40-56% of battery on a regular day. I really hope Apple doesn’t discontinue the mini lineup after the 13, because there’s still a huge market for people who love small compact phones. It’s just not as prominent and seen, because of others chasing behind the brick sized Pros and Pro Maxs.

After a little while, one doesn’t even notice the screen size. Literally 10mins into any movie or video or even a game, you are so engaged into it that you wont even notice the size. Just like you dont notice 3D movie 10 mins into it

I think one of the causes of low sales for mini models is the word "mini", maybe for customers it implies shrank capabilities of the phone rather than small size, maybe they just need to rename it iPhone 12 M or something

I still have my iPhone 12 and I’m using it daily with no regrets. It just fits anywhere and battery is not an issue to me. But, I concur, people nowadays use and abuse their phones all day long, so a long battery life might be a crucial detail for many. Still, for me, a medium/small sized mobile phone makes sense and Apple is one the few (if not the only) company still offering the choice.

I switched to the 13 Pro Max from the s20 Ultra and wow as a first time Apple user I am happy to get out of the Android ecosystem. Love this promax all around. The size is not a concern for me but I can see others perspective on the situation. I have always went for the bigger phones since I use my phone for everything in day to day life. That is until I get the new iPad here in a few months😅tnx for the content luvinit 🤙🤙🤛🤜✌️👊💯💯wow I love this battery life sooooo worth it🔥🔥🔥

I had the iPhone 10s Max and didn’t want another VCR in my pocket. Got the 13 mini and gotta say it’s also my favorite phone of all time. Apple should strongly consider keeping the line alive and a mini Pro would absolutely take my money.

I just got this phone a couple weeks ago as a 'compromise' between the SE and regular, but it's turning out not to be a compromise AT ALL. It sounds weird, but the smallness combined with the slight extra thickness of the 13 gives it a great feel in the hand. Like a really good stumpy eraser. Just a really good build quality and super sharp display.

Watching this with my Mini tonight at 08:19 PM here at the Philippines, my last charge was earlier at 06:30 in the morning and I am a really heavy user of my phone. The battery works well when I am at home and connected to our Wi-Fi but when I go out and the phone uses 5G, the battery is a different story, but overall, I really love it's compact form and I am planning to buy magsafe battery packs to fix the worry of my battery going out when I am outside. Best 2020 purchase I ever had.

I like a bigger screen, had a 7+ before. So when it was time to get a new phone, I had my eyes on the pro max. But they are a bit pricey. And I liked the big screen when I use the phone, not to carry it. And I would like to be able to use the pencil. I had hoped they would make that happen at least on the pro. I ended up with a 13 mini and an iPad mini (5:e gen). Love it. Easy to carry and hold. And a bigger screen, and I can use the pencil.

Came back to this 11 months after my last comment. Now the proud owner of a Product Red Mini. Wanted to wait a bit longer til I upgraded, but my XS’ battery had other ideas. Loving it so far. Going to a concert on Friday, so will be able to test the cameras.

The 13mini, fantastic first iPhone. The battery life last me easily one day and sometimes 2 days. I have to admit, I am not a heavy phone user; I usually sit around 3 hours of screen on time a day. But since I decided to get the phone, I also got the Apple Wallet and I have slimmed down my everyday carry, which helps slim down pocket bulk. Besides, a phone to me is a light device, mostly for communicating, looking at getting an iPad for my content consumption (probably the iPad mini). If I need a larger screen, I have a TV or my computer with 27" monitors.

I think what seems to be the main issue is the name. When something is "mini" it gives the impression that it's not as complete as it's regular sized counterpart. Plus the small size of the phone gives the impression that you're getting less phone for almost the same price ($100 difference). It's a shame the 13 Mini is the last we'll see in a while since it sold so poorly.

I bought an iPhone 13 Mini, coming from an iPhone 8. I immediately knew I wanted the Mini because I don’t like a massive phone. The Mini, for me, is the perfect iPhone. It’s small and easy pocketable with all the latest hardware in it, making sure this phone will be great for years to come. It definitely doesn’t feel like a budget phone like an SE might. The battery is no problem for me. I fully charged it at 7 am this morning, and know at 11 pm I still have 50% left. I’m not your average user; I use a Mac all day and have all the functionality of an iPhone on that. During working hours I hardly use my phone at all, so this battery is more than enough for me. And if not, I slap on a MagSafe battery. Overall, this iPhone feels like it’s made for me: Small yet powerful. Easy to carry and yet highly capable. It is the Perfect iPhone.

Hey Gary. Yeah I’m taking extra good care of my iPhone 13 mini because I plan on keeping it for a long time. I love the smaller form factor. I can text with one hand and my arm doesn’t hurt. 😆 the screen size isn’t bad at all, and my battery generally lasts me all day.

I got the IPhone 13 mini recently and I love that phone, I like small phones but the 12 mini battery stopped me in that direction, and thanks to God I waited, this phone is awesome is fast, portable, elegant, and gorgeous, the battery is enough to me and the cameras are great, I bought it thinking it is going to be the last mini iPhone but I hope we could keep seeing phones like this, and not big bricks in our pockets.

I got a 13 after using the SE 2020 for 10 months. I wanted good battery life, and damn I get it from this! The size is just about right. Tho I'd love to get the 14 Max next year for even better battery life. I haven't played games for a while on my phone, but this phone makes me wanna play games! My heart was on 13 mini, but after using a small phone for a while, I wanted that screen real estate.

I went from an iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone 13 mini. Adjusting to the battery life was difficult to say the least. But now I’m at a point where I’ve simply stopped using my phone for everything. I find I rely more on my Mac, iPad and TV for other things I need to do. Nowadays my iPhone is mainly used for phone calls and texts, music, GPS and podcasts. When I first got it I’d had to charge up the mini halfway through the day. Now I’m consistently ending the day at about 25%. But you make a great point. With the max, I just used it and at the end of the day I plugged it in. But here, the battery anxiety is real.

2:03 yes, i think part of the problem and why small phones are going away is because people feel like the top end phones are the only ones that will work for them and that the midrange stuff(probably the best for most people, such as the regular 12 and 12 mini) are seen as low end phones that aren't good enough.

We came late. Just bought 2 iPhone 13 minis. So late all we could get was white and 512 gig. Ouch! But they will be perfect for us and we love them. They are way beyond the iPhone 7 we had. We are now watching t o n s of youtube videos to learn all they can do. Holy Moley! So, thanks youtube bloggers for making our learning experience so much fun and easier. Next purchase, iPhone 20 mini. (I hope the minis will be back by then).

As an active person the smaller format is perfect. I also hate big phones. My wife has the max and yes it feels like a brick. The battery life is not the best but it wasn’t an unknown so not an inconvenience. If I need a larger format for getting online or working I’ll use my ipad.
