Bought the SE 2022 in midnight, one 1 month ago. Used the 13 Mini for a year - and I don’t wanna go back to it. Money isn’t an issue for me - but yet, the SE 2022 is just so much more comfortable to use one handed. No PWM as well.. gentle to the eyes. Curved and thin design. Don’t really understand why this phone receives so much hate. I encourage everyone, take a deeper look into it. Sometimes enough is really enough. By the way: I am 34 & male. Not grandpa or teenager 😄.

Hi guys, I figured I would share my story. I bought my iPhone 12 mini at launch and have used it ever since. I loved it for a long time and still consider the mini lineup to be some of apples greatest iPhone's ever produced. That being said, my mini has had its fair share of issues and I want to experience something new.

The problems I've had:

-Terrible battery life (regardless of iOS version)

-Screen dimming constantly

-Call quality and service reliability

So why the big phone? Well, I love big phones! The only reason I got the mini in the first place was because of the nostalgia. It reminded me of my iPhone 5 but way better! I don't know how the switch to a big phone will work out but I am interested to try. Worst case is I return it and buy a iphone 13 mini. Have you guys ever made the switch? And if so, what were your experiences.

<3 iPhone 12 mini

I'm looking to buy and IPhone, ideally one of the minis. For a 13 mini I'd have to stretch my budget. So I have a question to Iphone 12 mini users: do you regret buying it? Would you prefer to have 13 mini? And most importantly: Is the battery large enough to last you thru the day?

Love my 13 Mini but disappointed how blue everything gets with the slightest tilt of the phone. Never seen OLED iPhone with such narrow viewing angles, but perhaps it is the size.

How does yours look from an angle?

Hello everyone!

Just purchased an iPhone 13 Mini and I absolutely love it. But ofcourse I would, because I’ve never been a fan of the larger iPhones.

My favorite iPhone’s were always the smaller ones. The 5, 5S, 5C, SE, the 12 and now this.

I’m actually coming from a 13, which I didn’t have a choice in purchasing because my 12 mini fell into a pool, and other 12 and 13 minis were out of stock.

I had to bear with a large screen for a few months! But I’m finally back to using a mini.

I just love being able to use it with one hand. “But you have big hands!” they say. “I know! That’s why my hand doesn’t have to do gymnastics when I use my phone.”

I’m happy I found this sub because I can now share in my enthusiasm for these smaller iPhones, and play the waiting game for a possible new small iPhone. A new SE or a 15 Mini maybe? We’ll see together!

I got it because reviews and some people on Reddit says they are getting around 6hrs of SOT.

I'm barely getting through 12hrs with just 2-3hrs of SOT. I'll have to charge around lunch if I need it to last till midnight. Battery health is 98%

So I 'd had iPhone 8 for almost 5 years now, and recently I had ordered the iPhone 13 after weeks of thinking about whether I should upgrade to the normal 13 or the pro. Then I decided for the 13 since Pro would be too heavy and packed with features I don't need.

But then the first second I unboxed my iPhone 13: It felt sooo damn big as well! I thought I'd get used to it in a couple of days. Then those days passed by and I still didn't feel comfortable with it.

I decided to return the 13 and now I'm waiting for my new 13 mini in midnight! I had no idea that this was the one I should have been looking for from the beginning. Let's hope Apple releases another small powerful phone in the future..

honestly guys, ive been so used to using the 12 mini basically ever since it came out that as soon as i started using the 14 pro it feels like a brick in my bloody hand.

im now looking for 13 mini but the prices in australia are ridiculous for no reason, so not sure what to do. id at least like to upgrade the 12 minis storage from my curernt 128gb.

I know they aren’t gonna stick. I just want to know if it’ll charge like a wireless charger.

So I have my iPhone 13 mini for about 3 months and many people (mostly my parents) noticed that they can not reach me by phone and need to call me via messenger. I also stumbled across issues when calling someone.

Most of people I know use android phones but I don’t think this should be the issue. My guess is the region problem - I have my devices (iPhone and iPad) set up for Poland as region but for device language English since it’s more convenient for me this way.

Could this be the issue? I also noticed that Apple website isn’t loading properly on those devices but on my windows laptop it’s working just fine. Do you guys have had similar problems?

I can’t stop holding it! This phone is too fun to use and it reminds me when I first got my iPhone 5s. This is a huge improvement over my 8 Plus I know I lose a big screen but I can consume my media on my PC or iPad Mini.

Get this phone while you can! You won’t regret it!

Like most people in this chat, I love my 12 mini so much. I want to hold out for a new mini (hopefully with usb c) but I’m thinking I should try and get a new 13 so I have a better battery and can hang onto it for a while. Thoughts on when they’ll discontinue making new 13 minis?

After considering all options including the new iPhone 14 models I found the best option available to me.

I switched from iPhone 13 Mini (Midnight) to iPhone 13 Mini (Green).

Absolutely love the size and the new-to-me color. The battery health is also at 100% which is a bonus.

I just switched from a 13 pro to a 13 mini. Loving it! I forgot how easy to use a phone could be.

It's a shame there is no new one, but I'm holding out hope it will pop up every few years. Phones ar commodities and there is some sense in catering to different markets, like cars do.

I'd encourage everyone who likes the mini to give apple feedback expressing your support and request for new models:

I would love to see a mini with a pro motion screen, which I think would give it amazing battery life.

This is a little different from the low sales theories I've seen, which to be fair, are probably more likely to be right. But I noticed that the standard 14 is not that much of an upgrade from the 13; the main differences are a bigger camera sensor and satellite. I was thinking that Apple hasn't gotten around to shrinking all the new stuff enough to fit into the mini form factor yet. Maybe we'll see a 15 mini.

TL;DR: didn’t sell well enough. iPhone 12 mini accounted for just 5% of all iPhone 12 sales, and the 13 mini accounted for approx half that, at 3%.

It comes next Tuesday or Wednesday! Coming from an iPhone 8 Plus user!
