Apple’s Mini iPhones - iPhone 12 and 13 Mini 

At that point, those iPhone Minis pretty much just love each other. After all, they are a dying breed.

i have the 13 mini and i am so much more satisfied with it compared to when i had my 11 (which i still had for 3,5 years). only switched bc of size and i will stick with my 13 mini forever. if anything, i want a flagship mini again and not an se, it's really not comparable at all.

I miss the 16:9 phones tbh. Since phone companies are trying to make their displays taller and taller like a telephone. And design cameras pointlessly bigger. It's kinda amazing how the Google Fold looks like an 16:9 phone again

It would be cool if Apple made a limit run of smalls phones every other year.

Hoping that the SE 4 is a mini sized iPhone since they discontinued the mini versions

watching this on my 12 mini. i got it about 6 months ago and i love it so much, the size is perfect, and with my usual usage habits i don’t have many issues with the battery life.

Hey frokfrdk, Ive just found out your channel and started watching you a lot more. Cant believe I never found this really entertaining channel and how you dont have millions of subs. Subbed :)

25 seconds in, you switched to the 13 mini’s camera and called it a “downgrade” - it’s just overexposed, which is in your control 🤣

I loved my 12 mini and ALMSOT got the 13 just due to the better battery and soc. The whole 12 series was plagued by bad batteries and poor 5g optimistic. So my 12 mini battery life was a stretch for what I used to for. Also I live in Florida and worked as a delivery technician for medical supply company, so I was out in the heat and use GPS a lot which not only ate the battery up on the phone because of the slow down and get extremely hot at times. That was more just an issue of the area I live in and how I used it but every phone I've had afterwards has not had that issue. That's said I would not mind picking up a 13 mini of the backup phone and just because I really enjoyed the size of that particular iPhone. The only issue I ever ran into in terms of using it was the fact that I have bigger thumbs and sometimes it would either not register or have a lot of missed inputs due to it thinking I'm hitting two things at once. Outside of that it was a pretty great product.

Not gonna lie you're underrated AF, don't get me wrong 18K is a lot but, for how in depth and professional you sound I'm very surprised you don't have more Subs, you remind me of bit of dankpods when he started, keep up the good work m8.

Proximity sharing is a cool feature enabled by the U1 UWB chip

Very nice video, highly appreciated your production quality

I have a SE 2020 and gotta love how usable it's with one hand.

iPhone minis were the nuts! Great video dude

Hehehe I have a green 13 mini, although I will never sell it. I refuse to use large phones, and green is my favourite colour, so the green 13 mini I had to get now or never.

Dude's selfie with the Pixel 8 Pro legit looks like a deep fried meme compared to the iPhones ngl

I have an iPhone 13 mini, and I don't plan on giving it up anytime soon. The 6.1" iPhones are significantly larger than the iPhone 6/6s/7/8 were. 5.8" X/Xs/11 were much closer in size to those old iPhones.

Just want to say, the base S23/24 and small iPhone 15/Pro are basically the same size/footprint as the Zenfone 10. Still big, but as compact as it gets nowadays

Yes my brother used to have an S3 samsung phone and my mom also had like a samsung phone. I used to be so amazed when my brother got my mom's phone and showed me the Android beam. That brrbrrr sound when you press that beam button is so good damn got me memories

Crazy how 6.1 inch screens are considered “small” now

I love your voice and your accent man

The iPhone 12 mini microphones seems to capture a larger audio specter than the 13 mini. The sound is larger and deeper.

My nostalgia and inner child has been very well fueled. Feels like yesterday i have watched the episode from 5 yrs ago. Like 5 YEARS?!?!?!?!?!? I am getting old and also having back pain by now 😭😭

13 mini didn’t sell well because people already bought the 12 mini. And the people who buy 12 minis are the one who tends to keep their phone for longer period of times. Also minis iPhone considered a “failure” compared to other iPhones. But I’m sure it outsold the entire Galaxy S lineup at the time. Too bad Apple decided to give up on it. They should re release mini iPhone as a SE model and update it every 2-3 years. Such a missed opportunity

Can you compare an iPhone XR with and iPhone XS

i just traded my black 12 Mini in for a 15 Pro and at first I didn't think there was gonna be that much of a difference other than size, but I was very wrong lol. Pro Motion is way more noticeable than I thought it'd be, I also forgot what it was like to have a larger battery. I always had to charge my Mini at least once throughout the day, the 15 Pro I can get home and it'll be at 60%. The always on display is a nice plus too, I had it years ago on my Droid Ultra and it's nice to see it on an iPhone finally. I loved my Mini though, I used it for 3.5 years and I would have gone longer if Verizon wasn't running such a good deal right now. I was not excited about any of the new iPhones but after using the 15 Pro I can say it was definitely worth the upgrade.

Great video

been rocking a 13 mini since 2021, loving it. plan to keep it as long as I can, cause the size is the great, and i just feel burdened by a big phone, I came from a moto g7 power, which feels like a behemoth compared to this thing, but small compared to modern phones. imo, it's about the perfect size for a phone

My dad has a green 13 mini, I'm definitely snatching it after he upgrades

i use a 12 mini and im so sad that they will be gone in some time is really sad. i love this phone because the size. this phone didnt fell out of my hand and my old phone was really big and i was dropping it couple times a week

iPhone sales down 10%. Could be the 10% who wants small phones. They don't sell well, but they would still sell.

i used to use an iphone 13 mini in green then switched to p8p i miss the size but i like the p8p size

I love my RED iphone 13 mini, and i will hold onto it as long as i can

I have similar needs, using iPhone 13 mini combined with S23 Ultra. Each phone is great for specific needs.

R.I.P. iPhone mini

wow when you showed the selfies... you're absolutely gorgeous

whats the case on your iphone se 2016 btw?

I daily drive a 12 mini and it’s amazing

using the 12 mini (mint green colour) love it 🎉🎉

You can turn the “namedrop” or the airdrop feature off so they wont share stuff between themselves anymore.

I have green 13 mini. Still using it till today. 💚

I like your hang out w/ u style just letting ur thoughts flow, stream of consciousness rather than intending to pre-lead us in any certain way - lets me absorb my personal take on the choices. Thnx also for taking the time for the quick back n forth camera quality compare - no phones were harmed due to drops, cause they weren’t chunky phablets right? 😅

I’m one of those who laments the passing of the IPhone Mini, I used a tablet or a laptop when I want to get really involved with screen use. The few times I’m forced to use my phone the Mini was OK but I wanted the 3X zoom camera so when Verizon offered me an upgrade to the 14 Pro I couldn’t refuse. I got a 800$ credit for my 2 year old 12 Mini but I still miss the light weight and easy one hand usability of my old 12 Mini. I guess you can’t have everything

I actually own and use the green iPhone 13 mini.

W vid

I’ve had a cherry red iPhone 13 mini for about 2 years now and it is held up tremendously. The battery life is very good for a phone its size. And it works just as good as normal size phone. Very discreet and slides easily into your pocket. Also the size is perfect. It fits perfectly in my hand and never slips out.

I had to use a galaxy S8 recently because my phone was getting fixed and it was insane how much easier it was to use just because I could reach things

The Pixel a series are close in concept (they are a good bit bigger), (6a 7a 8a) They run the same chip and camera as the higher end models so there is really no sacrifice, just cheaper and smaller than the average phone, But I think the regular Pixel 7 is the perfect size for a phone.

you're lowkey like dankpods nowadays 👌👌

I have a 13 mini and plan on keeping it as long as I can. The only bad thing I have noticed is the battery life has tanked. But it charges so fast that I don't really care.

I can’t EVEN 👀 THIS NEWER MORE UPSCALE AND UP TO DATE MODEL…that would be more evolved however more invisible for ME 😂

Watching this on my 12 mini. I don't really care about the battery life, I just don't like the bigger iPhones (i came from the first gen SE and Nexus 5 which is my backup phone). It is not really too bad because older iPhones have worst battery life even when new.

hello from another part of the world! Cuxhaven,Germany.

I really hope that either the SE 4 adopts a mini form factor, or that we’ll get a proper Zenfone 11 with none of that ultra crap.

6:18 FYI zenfone 10 is the same size as samsung s24 vanilla

Still using a pink iPhone 13 mini and I'll say it's just right for me.

I'm kinda tempted to get one to try iOS, but I kinda already have a Pixel 4 for small phone vibes, similarly sized and still pretty fast, 90hz too. I have other phones but it's currently my daily till the small version of the pixel 9 pro comes out

How good the pixel 8 pro I am thinking of getting one currently. I am gonna go from a samsung a53 to pixel 8/8 pro

Love my 12 MIni.

my green mini is coming today - upgrading from the 15 pro max to the 13 mini for digital detox

rip zenfone and the minis frfr

1stly make small phones :- Displays are small and battery is bad 😢 And made big phones :- displays are huge and can't use phones, mini version is best😂😂😂

No way you used "Sea Shanty 2" from Runescape at 19:10 l0l wooooooot (I thought i'm just flashing)

the time on the 12 mini touches the bezel

im using 12 mini as main and its fine battery sucks but performance feels very good

OSRS music mentioned!

Are you a niagara launcher user?

That’s a feature on iOS 17 the hold nearby to share

maybe a wierd question, but how come all your phones screens are equally scuffed? they all (iphones) have those fairly long and deep scratches did you get em like that or do they simply live rough lives in your pockets?

I bought a $300 Samsung galaxy A54 in October 2023. Eventually start bending it in certain ways and then the charging port took a crap. I went to Walmart and spent 150 bucks on the iPhone SE 2023 and I love it other than the battery life. I want to really get the newest S24

What launcher do you use on the pixel in start of video

I am currently rocking an iPhone 12 mini. Best $300 I’ve ever ever spent.

Best phone Apple has made in forever!

The notch in 12 mini looks better, although it is wider, but it is not deep as the 13 mini which is more important as the side direction is already wasted.

You holding the 13 Mini looks like me holding the 15 Plus xD I guess I have large hands

Next, do the S10e. Samsungs mini phone

Another example of a small phone is the cubot pocket which is my phone !

carriers in america dont support multiple SIM cards for the same number like in UAE, if they did every house hold would have at least one mini phone

iPhone 4/5 was the perfect size and if it had a back shaped like the galaxy s3 it’d be perfect for one handed use

I have the green 13mini with 256GB storage in still like-new condition

i still use a 2016 iPhone se lol. its just an iPhone 6s in an iPhone 5s body. its perfectly fast, the camera is fine, i like smaller phones, but the battery lasts like 2 hours when you use the phone. Im going to buy a green 512GB iphone 13 mini used in about a year and use that for the rest of my life.

I love my 13 mini

I alredy bought iPhone 15 pro After using iPhone 13 mini over 2 years. I got them next to each other and I Dont want switch for some reason.

The only problem with my 12 mini is that i have to keep it on low power mode to save the battery. I can’t believe e they sacrificed a battery. It’s like they were saying “we dont want to make a mini but all you guys are asking for it so we will give you the size but with a suck battery”.

I started with a 2nd hand iPhone 4, then bought a new 1st gen SE, then a new 12 Mini and that is my current phone. I don't care to use anything larger but I am afraid that train has left the station.

I love the fold's outside screen. it's the perfect size for one-handing. samsung should just cut off the top half of a galaxy fold and turn it into a phone! call it like "samsung galaxy S25 mini" or something. They used to do that with the S series so bringing it back wouldn't be out of the question.

I’m 6 ft2 and I own a regular iPhone 12, and I think it’s the perfect size

You can turn off that feature which does that funny animation.

My 13 mini is still so good, the camera is great except the crazy oversharpening issue in low light. Battery is suck because it’s only 78% BH.

At 14:10 i was wondering why the flooded and vlosed the stairs... But at 14:28 i realized its a stairs-shaped dam for easy maintenance access 🤯

i use my 12 mini for over 2 years now and see no need to upgrade battery holds a charge for up to 13 hours

For me, with big hands, I choose iPhone 15 pro instead of max because it was smaller and I expected worst battery, now the battery goes through 5-6h of battery on one charge(my last android only did 4h)

We need an Iphone Pro Mini. With how small bezels are getting you can fit a lot of screen in that size. And power efficiency is also improving.

i really like small phones i would buy iphone 12 mini but it's little expensive for me

I’m using a 16 GB iPhone 5s and still can do almost everything, although it’s starting to be unsupported by many apps.

6:40 apple went goodbye mini hello plus, just 2 old phome designs

im using a 12 mini rn

Watching this on my green mini 😛

These days phones make me forgot that 7" tablets are exist

what launcher are you using on the pixel?
