I love it!
Loooooove this smaller design!!! I hate these clunky brick size phones that seem to be so popular nowadays. Those don’t fit easily in my skinny jean pockets or my purses. This one reminds me of my old iPhone 7 which I just upgraded from. Battery life seems long, and I really like the bigger screen. I do wish that this model displayed the battery percentage on the Home Screen and had the option of using Touch ID. Also, I keep having to adjust the brightness after turning it all the way up. I feel like it should just stay as I leave it unless I manually adjust it. That is a small complaint, otherwise I’m super happy with this phone!

Purposeful
I was sick of carrying around a glass plate for the past ten years, and went with a Smaller device. Having the horsepower of the bigger phones in a small package is fantastic. I do not play games on my phone nor watch videos more than ten minutes at a time so using it like a Phone for, calls, text, and the occasional web browsing and I have no problem making it through the day on a single charge. The camera’s are amazing. The size though. It is so nice. You really have to see them in person if you have been carrying a larger device for some time. It’s been a great companion to my MacBook, and Apple may have a new convert from Android. The seamlessness and continuity is pure joy. Hope you enjoy your new one as much as I am enjoying this.

Love the 13 Mini
I’ve had this phone for about 10 days now, and I’ve had a really pleasant experience with it so far. I actually traded in my iPhone 11 Pro Max since Best Buy had awesome trade in promos going. Anyway, I decided I was tired of the big brick of a phone I was carrying in my pocket for the last 2 years. I hesitated for a bit but I have no regrets. The iPhone 13 mini feels great in the hand, especially when using it one handed. It did take a little while for me to get used to typing on a small screen again but now it’s no big deal. My hand no longer cramps up like it used to when using my Pro max for extended periods. It is so light and comfortable to hold. The cameras on it are an upgrade from my 11 pro, pictures and videos look amazing. They say it has the same cameras that the 12 pro max had last year. The screen although “small” is beautiful and bright. Speakers are loud enough for music and video playing. The notch is smaller, and Face ID does feel a little quicker than my 11 pro. The only thing I miss from my 11 pro max is the telephoto lens, but I’ll get used to not having it. Battery life has also been excellent. I average 5 - 6 hours of screen on time before my phone needs to be plugged in. It’s great honestly. It will definitely get you through the day if you use it casually. Would I recommend this phone? Yes! I don’t miss carrying around a heavy brick of an iPhone in my pocket. Yes the big screens and extra cameras are nice but Im over all that stuff and just wanted a small, comfortable phone to carry with me everywhere again. Get this phone if you’re tired of the big phones. You’ll love it, I promise.
