13 mini is portability. My advice is just pair it up with Magsafe Battery pack. I am a heavy user, 6-8 hrs usage. But if I have MBP, extended to probably 10-12 hrs. That’s really heavy usage otherwise Iit’ll make it in normal days thats for sure. But the definition of phone for me is portability of basic phone features added with Apple Music or Spotify and thats it. Not much of social media, no gaming, and just enough of RU-vid. I will keep my mini until the next mini or until it wont work at all. PS. During travel days. Definitely bring the battery pack and shift your phone to Low Battery Mode and try to download offline maps before traveling and you’re off to go. Bring your charger and Charge your phone whenever you have a chance when traveling.
Very helpful thanks and I trust you because I too use Bleu de Chanel. I used to live in UK but moved to France many years ago and don't miss the M25 madness at all... I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy A3 which is a great little phone but now lacks the punch and capacity etc for some apps and normal usage. So am thinking of an iphone 13 mini because I HATE large phones!!! Never was an Apple fan until I bought my Mac and now like their stuff a bit so maybe this little mini will do for my needs.
How quickly does your phone die after a day of heavy use? (Watching RU-vid videos, etc.) Around what time would you start your day and what time would your phone die with no charging in between and with brightness in the middle or higher?
it depends. as i have a physical and electronic (eSIM) SIM on my iPhone, the battery life isn't great. bcoz of this, the phone is searching for 2 phone signals constantly and the battery drains somewhat faster, but not only that. here's what i typically do on my iPhone: - take pictures and videos using the LIGHTROOM or BLACKMAGIC CAMERA apps, respectively. - stream music via TIDAL (320 kbps) to my AirPods (Pro) - scroll through social media - respond to e-mails - use iMessage - calls i start at 09:00 and finish at 17:00 (not everyday). my iPhone would be below 30% with brightness set on auto, but i typically override that anyway. 😁 plus, for a few years now i haven't installed the RU-vid app on my iPhones, as it drains the battery quicker than usual (i've experienced this in the past). but, i do have it installed on my iPad Mini, as that's what i use for consuming media and it has a bigger battery anyway (or i'd use my laptop or my projector for films, tv shows...) overall, i just use my devices and charge them whenever needed. everyones use case and habits vary massively. thanks for your question! 👍🏼
i wouldn't say "maintain", rather "how did i lose that much battery capacity in only 17 months?" 😂 actually, it was due to wireless charging and using my phone more often. most importantly, i let it reach below 20% and then charge it back up to 100% as of late. also, i've been recording more videos, so the phone gets warmer, plus going into the summer, it'll be worse.😭 it's small battery could only do so much and the battery health and durability varies from person to person. hope battery technology gets better soon.
I’ve been using the 13 mini for 10 months and I’ll be upgrading to the 13 Pro bc while it has been fun rocking the mini, I decided to switch to it due to losing my 13. I miss having a bigger screen for watching videos and playing games, and sometimes even when typing. I feel restricted whenever I wanna get some video editing done or anything that requires precise adjustments. I will miss it definitely but I also can’t wait to move back to a bigger screen. I missed the better sounding speakers too. The mini is quite hard to hear and lacks a lot of low end compared to the bigger models.
the “Space Black” and “Silver” link bracelets are available on Apple’s website for £399 and £299, respectively. i got both of mine (used, in great condition and one with it’s original packaging) on eBay. i currently use the Casio F-91W.
Just upgraded from the XS to a Product Red 13 Mini. I knew I was swapping my XS this year, as it’s about to lose the latest iOS, but its battery health (or lack of it) hastened the upgrade. Using a bumper and MagSafe grip - not a fan of full cases - and have already got myself quite a few MagSafe accessories. These include a portable charging stand that I can use on the go, and to trigger Standby Mode when I’m home. Thanks for the content!
What?! 🫢 Here are things I've done, in order to to slow the decline of battery health %: - I rarely/never let my iPhone get down to below 20% charge - I don't game on my iPhone - I keep "Optimised Battery Charging" turned on - I turned off "Background App Refresh" - I turn off Wi-Fi when away from home and only use cellular data in 4G mode, never 5G - I turned on "Auto Brightness" - I wirelessly charge my iPhone, even though it creates the most heat, compared to wired charging Keep in mind, your use case, you have for your device may vary and there are a lot of variables to think about. Also, I'm not too fussed about checking the battery health on my devices, as I used to be. If I feel like my devices aren't holding a charge I would get the battery replaced (or get a new device, depending on how long I've had the device and if it still receives software updates, etc). I recently replaced the battery on my MacBook Air (2017), which was at 30% overall battery health after about 4 years, 🤯, which wouldn't hold a charge anymore (I bought it in 2019 directly from Apple Certified Refurbished) and now, it performs well, like it used to, when it was new. I can finally use it without it being plugged in to the power source for the past 1.5 years, when it decided to no longer hold a charge.
@@garishanth yeah I use all the tips for battery healt found on youtube since I saw the % go down to 95 (except for wireless charging). Black wallpapers also. Now I get to the end of the day easily (with 30/40%) but the capacity continues to drop
Very nice, nuanced approach to presenting your experience with it. I am thinking about getting one soon, as I got my 'latest' iPhone right before the minis were released and it would have been silly to switch back then.
Wow looks so simple and amazing at the same time ! btw what year is that macbook air ? I need a new pc quickly and I was worrying about getting 2017 or 2015 macbooks (air or pro ) because of outdated os .
Thanks! It’s a 2017 MacBook Air. I strongly recommend you do NOT get the 2015 or 2017 Intel variant of the MacBook Air nowadays. I highly recommend you DO go with either the MacBook Air with either the M1 or M2 processor, based on your needs. I’m looking to make the switch to a Apple Silicon product soon.
Thanks! Yes and no. Yes, they are comfortable, if listening for shorter periods. No, they aren't comfortable, if listening for longer periods. Also, as these are on-ear, they aren't as good-sounding as opposed to over-ears, in my opinion.
Hi, all depends on your head and ears form, three years ago I bought Marshall major 3 BT and I can't listen to music more than one hour in them, they painfully pushing on my ears. But these headphones are perfect, using them about four hours without discomfort.
@@garishanth I use a thin one with camera ring covered on my 12. The back has small holes for heat dissipation. It works. Costed 500 Indian rupees but worth it. Been using it since last year January when I bought the device.
I'd say yes, but like others have replied, it's best to wait until next month, so the previous iPhone models decrease in price a little. If not, you could buy the iPhone 11, it's been fine for me, but if you want some future proofing, go with the iPhone 12 instead.
