I’m hesitating between iphone 13 and 13 mini, which one has good size and comfortable to put on pocket of jean ? the regular 13 is bigger but I don’t know if it’s comfortable to hold and to put on pocket ?
@@Goku17yen yes sure the mini is more comfortable, but the regular iphone has big screen, I wonder if can I put it in pocket of jean without annoying, I have I phone 6s and it has perfect size.
I bought it as an upgrade from my XS and love it! Screen isn’t too much smaller, phone is nice, lightweight and easy to hold. Looks beautiful. I’m not a fan of large heavy phones so this is perfect for me. Battery is great too. 5ish hours of SoT for me.
I still grieve for my iPhone 5 - the last one to fit comfortably in my hand. I often go out without a phone now - !!*!!*!! - because my current iPhone won't fit in a pocket or is a heavy drag in any pocket I can force it into. (Yes, a woman exists who doesn't always lug a purse around. But even when I've got a handbag, the phone mostly doesn't fit in a pocket of the bag that's actually convenient to use.) Thanks very much for such a detailed review with revealing images, Canoopsy.
I bought the iPhone 13 Mini a week ago and I am really impressed with the quality of the device in terms of processor, camera and battery (in normal standard use). Excellent device with an exceptional size.
I absolutely love my 13 Mini! I have since release and so happy to have replaced my 12 Pro for it. The phone almost seems big to me now, crazy how the brain can adapt very quickly to different objects size.
Bought mine a few days ago upgrading from the original old SE (iPhone 5). I love it. It’s everything I could have asked for in the size of phone I like. And when you upgrade from a phone as far back as my old one you really notice the differences.
You make a good case for a small flagship; hopefully Apple reconsiders their decision to axe it next year (if the rumors are true). Thanks for an informative, well produced review.
Perfect phone for my usage. Will be sad to see it discontinued but good point that they might bring it back as an SE. if that’s the case I’ll be very happy.
I bought the 13 Pro Max on Launch Day (Pre-Ordered it) and today I returned it and got the 13 Mini in exchange. Don't get me wrong, the Pro Max is a great and powerful device, but to be honest it is TOO powerful for my daily use. I rarely take any photos, no macro shots etc so I don't need the better cameras of the Pro Line. The mini sits perfectly fine in my hand, I can use it easily with one hand on the go and it's also very very light weight, much better to hold and carry around. The battery also isn't a problem for me, as I'm working in IT so I have a charger around me all the time.
Great vid! I completely agree on all criteria you considered for the 13 Mini review. Little backstory, I upgraded from a 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro Max as my daily driver. I also own an 11 Pro Max, which was my main phone when it came out and now I have left mainly to be used for my music streaming services (which are plenty) kind of an iPod with enhanced features and capacities, the reason behind this was basically I wanted to have a leisure device and a business device. In know it might sound redundant and unnecessary, but once home my main device goes on sleep mode and my 11 Pro Max comes alive. This year though I’m pulling the trigger on the 13 Mini replacing my 11 Pro Max as my leisure streaming device . I think the form factor, enhancements made on battery life, camera and overall performance with the A15 Bionic has made it worth upgrading to. For my purpose of use, it most certainly will. So in a nutshell your video has given me the assurance that my train of thought is on the right track. Thanks!
I really hope Apple don't cease production of this or even downgrade it as has been suggested here. Unless, in the process they remove the notch and replace with touch ID. That's a downgrade I'd personally like because I hate the notch. Even so, a full featured (including telephoto), small phone is my preference.
I am definitely getting a 13 mini this year! I really like the smaller form factor and once you had the mini in your hands, you have to just love it! Plus: its battery is now even better than last years regular 12!!! ☝️
@Damian Wójcikiewicz I agree. I'm now totally over these large phones. I just ordered the 13 Mini in Product Red, after seeing my Wife use the 12 Mini for the last year. The 13 Mini seems like the perfect phone and I think I will use this for 5 years before upgrading. I don't buy a new phone each year. I'm quite interested in the Tesla phone, but I have switched to Apple from a series of Android phones over the years. In the more distant past, I was always a Nokia fan. I still have a drawer full of old Nokia phones. Many of them won't even start up anymore.
@Damian Wójcikiewicz thanks for the answer..i do most of my media consumptions and playing games on ipad..just occasinally/rarely doing those on my phone when charging the tablet..i think this phone suffice that
Just found this channel,excellent review! Got a mini 13,128g( pink model)for my daughter..loved it so much now I'm getting one, the red model with 256g since I shoot a lot go pro videos.. cheers ,keep em comin!
I purchased the red mini in 256g and it’s a fantastic phone. You will absolutely love it and this is the best shade of red on an iPhone I have ever seen. It’s really brilliant. I paired my red mini with the Apple leather MagSafe case in Wisteria and it’s really beautiful. It’s a deeper shade of purple than advertised on Apples website.
Love my mini 13, I hesitated on the mini 12 last year and glad I waited, battery hasn’t been a issue yet since I do the majority of internet, RU-vid, & gaming on a iPad. I find myself always checking my pocket to make sure I have my phone, I hardly/feel, my only complaint would be the keyboard is a little small and hard to hit the right letters. Other than that I think it’s a winner!!
Got a iPhone 13 mini which replaced my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Absolutely 👍 loving it!! One hand use with no compromise on camera etc. Battery is decent enough!! Apple is missing a trick here by discontinuing in 14 series.
I went from a 12 Pro Max, to a pink 13 mini and I love it! Gave my son my pro max, don’t regret it at all. No problem with watching movies, video’s, etc. Works great for me, I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ maybe I just have small hands and it works good for me.
Just here for canoopsy , got the iPhone 13 mini on launch 🚀 went from a iPhone 12 Pro Max and I love it the smaller it home is much better for smaller hands 🙌
@@femke576 The chip is more powerful (the iPhone 11 Pro has the A13 Bionic, while the iPhone 13 mini has the A15 Bionic), and the cameras are better. The only downsides are that you will lose the telephoto camera and 0.4" of screen size, and the battery life is worse.
@@germanesterripa9299 Battery life isn’t that much worse. Mostly depends on what you are doing. If you are watching a lot of video content, you will have better battery endurance on 13 mini than on 11 Pro. 😉
Your reviews aren't just about the product's specs and features, they're an enjoyable visual experience. Keep up the good work. It helped me consciently choosing to buy my iPhone 13 mini, pretty satisfied.
This is the ideal size for a PHONE. The screen is the perfect size and not that many years ago would have been considered large. If you want something with a massive screen etc, just buy an iPad too.
the most valuable iphone becasue of high opportunity cost to developed and already removed by apple. it really suit some user who want easy use easy carry
After testing the 13 Pro and Pro Max for a week, they both felt like obese underachievers compared to the 13 mini. Honestly the 13 mini feels so much more impressive as a flagship in its performance and size. It’s a game changer. Streaming a movie like Pandora on Disney+ was very immersive but the loud clear sound of the stereo speakers is incredible for a phone twice it’s size. My battery life test only yielded the 13 Pro 5% more over the 13 Mini at the end of the day still leaving plenty of power left. (40% vs 35%) at the end of a full day of use.
I’m hesitating between 13 and 13 mini, I like 13 cause it has big screen but I’m worry that it will be not comfortable to hold and to put on pocket of jean, what do you think which one is better ?
@@hocineted7594 For what it’s worth, I upgraded from an busted up 8 to a 13 pro as a reward to myself for finishing school. I’ve tried to get used to the size for several days now but just can’t get into it. I love so much about the 13 pro but it just doesn’t feel as usable as my 8 did. I will be trading the 13 pro in for a 13 mini on Monday
@@samus318 so 13 mini is better ? I have iPhone 6s and it has a perfect size, I hope apple will make an iPhone that has the same size like the iPhone 6s.
Thank you. Yes, I am going to anxiously open my box when it arrives in two days. I purchased the promax 13 and it's a fax machine in my hand. Honestly, it should be illegal for a phone to be this heavy. I already have carpal tunnel just from owning it for a month and a half. I always like having two phones so now I'm just going to have two 13 iPhones. Thank you for the information.
Great review. Got an iPhone 13 Mini. Arrives in 10 days and I cannot wait. Also this vid made me miss Toronto 🧡 And hot take: I haven't tried it yet, but from what I'm seeing, cinematic mode looks terrible, haha.
I don't understand how this phone isn't selling well, if I didn't already own the S21 Ultra I would've ran to the Apple store to buy it. It's so perfect!
This could have been THE iPhone if only it had Touch ID too. I sold my new iPhone 13 as it made me angry every time I had to unlock it. Masks, what to do! Went back to SE2. Maybe next year. And maybe COVID will go away by Sept 2022.
Battery on the 12 mini was the dealbreaker for me, satisfied with the 12pro now. If the mini had better battery life I certainly would have had the mini, discontinuing seems unfortunate, a 15 mini would probably have been the upgrade for me.
I decided to pull the trigger on the iPhone 13 mini over the 14 pro and I do not regret the decision one bit. Is the perfect form factor. I hope that they’ll bring it back in a pro version for the iPhone 15 because I truly believe this is the best size for everyday use. All they need to do is improve battery life and then upgrade the refresh rate to 120hz
2:36 - Here we can see how much iOS "wastes" space on larger phones. Bigger screens and batteries are great for some uses, but having the same amount of information on screen as the Mini is a big factor against the bigger ones to me
I had a Google Pixel 6. That I wasn’t happy with so I traded it in for an iPhone 13 mini. I love the cameras, iOS 15 and airdrop. But, sometimes holding this phone I can’t help but feel like I just have an iPhone 5 in my hand. Which sometimes it’s good and other times it feels like not much of an upgrade.
I have just got on my iphone mini 13 having come from a pro max and absolutely love the Mini. I got it as combo with the iPad Mini 6 and find this gives me the best of both worlds - much better than trying to make a Pro Max do it all.
Quite bad battery BUT as long as you can live with it this is an amazing device. Carrying around the XS was like carrying a shoe in my pocket. I can’t even imagine carrying a pro max in my pocket. Mini rules.
I kinda wish I got the big chonkers. I was charging my Mini while listening to my iPod Touch… took my call through my iPod. I love my Mini but I can keep the chonkers pro max in my purse and iPod Touch or watch and AirPods in use.
I have the 12 mini and still love it! I use the apple mag safe battery pack, and get through the day no problem. I am Considering getting the 13 mini since it is a step up in several areas, and that it might be the last mini. Thanks for the great review!
Yes, confirmed by my experience. Small is beautiful - especially when it works. My main reason to use a small phone is... my shirt pocket. Unfortunately, after the excellent SE of the first iteration, and the honorable exception in the Android world, the Sony Xperia compact, nothing else satisfied - always only Apple, no more small Androids, but a great fail with all posterior SEs and the beautiful 6, 7 and 8 series and EVEN the recent 12 Mini: all of them suffering from shamefully low battery life, never a full day. A disgrace - I have them All. Finally, one that MAY (not guaranteed) last a full day away from the chager! My shirt pocket is happy again.
