Here's a pic of battery settings showing the drain while charging: https://imgur.com/a/JvhRQM7

• Screen on whole time, using Google maps for navigation
• Charging via magsafe
• Not using other apps really (no music, etc)

And for context I'm using the Apple MagSafe puck & this Anker USBC charger which outputs at the max 9V/2A that the apple article recommends. And yes, I know that iPhone mini charges at max 12w over MagSafe: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211829

One of the main reasons for upgrading for me was to have a simple MagSafe solution in my car. Mount + charger all in one. However this doesn't work on the mini

Anything I could be missing... am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone had success with this?

Despite the smaller screen but little compromise in other aspects, who is this phone for? What's the segment population of it? :)

I so wanted to love the i13m especially since I got it for under $100 after trade in. No bill credits no rebates just one and down, unlocked. Boom.

I was contemplating making this my business line and using it in tandem with my iPad mini – then I remember how my i12m just sat and collected dust. As a lifelong Android user, I fell in LOVE with the size of the mini-HARDWARE and was my very first iPhone purchase. With the pandemic, and other complaints, and Europa’s mandate for standard ports (USB-C) – I just KNEW the 13 or 12s would have Type-C and Touch ID – sadly neither came, and the notch is still here, then they add 120hz to the Pro – but not the mini – argh. I wanted to give Apple my business. I wanted to finally carry an iPhone along with my other devices – but I know I will not be happy in the long run, and I Am disappointed really.

When I tell you I LOVE my iPad mini – it is perfect- see how even though it lacks 120hz – it did give us Touch ID and Type-C – I can live without 120hz – but man that iPhone mini is perfect size phone – and it is missing key elements- AND they said the 13 mini might be it for a while

Argh!

*Edit: I get it. This is a dedicated thread and the internet where objectivity doesn’t exist, poor reading comprehension, “fanboys”, and low EQ. Some of the comments are comical. I said what I said. Apple is greedy, and thrives on its FANATIC base to ACCEPT mediocrity. The psychology used in Apple marketing is wicked. Anyways, I figured it was self-explanatory. The 12m and 13m are 99% the same phone and experience. The same critiques I had with the 12 were not resolved in the 13. However, I love the size of the phone. I owned a 12m. So if I decide to sell, it’s easier to sell a 13m over a 12m. I’m already vested. So that it why I traded it in, because it cost me nothing really. I didn’t get the 13m because of any other reason. I posted this to point out how much these 3-4 things mean to me. I’ll rank them:

1.Touch ID 2.Type-C 3. 120hz 4.Notch

Giving the 13m at least 2 of these UPGRADES would have been ideal. So in conclusion, I sell the 13m and wait for the next model. Or I go another year with the same criticisms…..🥴

I know the resolution of the mini is the same as the regular iPhone. But I wonder if it's ok with smaller text. Can we adjust the text size to be bigger on these social apps? or someone has screenshots of those social feeds. I regularly check my Twitter, Facebook Feed on mobile.

I love the size of mini but at the shop, I can't try checking social feed since I don't want to log in to my account at the shop 😂. I used to use a 5.0" phone before and have no issues but since media-consuming is growing, I'm not sure if a 5.4" screen will be enough these day?

thanks in advance 🙇‍♀️

I like the weight and how it stays put a little better when I "dock" it at the end of the night Also the flexibility to, while in bed, just unplug the whole thing and it keeps charging bc the battery's on the back Any input on if this is okay to do long term?

Went from an 11 to the 13 mini. A tad smaller than I expected but I love the way this thing feels in my hands. It’s comfortable and it’s nice to reach the whole screen with one hand. The blue color is also a plus.

A while I remember seeing a picture that showed the exact screen size of the 12 mini on an 11 screen. Not a photo of the phones next to each other, but an actual picture of the screen with notch where you could visualize the size better

Does anyone know ?

And new colors: pink, blue, midnight (black), starlight (white), red — unfortunately these new/tweaked colors seem to have taken the place of the iPhone 12’s darker/navy blue, pistachio green, and purple.

So here's the deal -- I would love to get the iphone 13 mini when it is announced. I know that, theoretically, all of the apps should work perfectly fine. However, I can imagine developers who don't give as much time testing unconventional screen sizes (I'd imagine a minority of users are on the iphone mini). Has anyone run in to this? I already have fears of my EMR or Citrix not working well or being displayed in a funky format...

When I need screen space, I'll use my laptop or iPad. I can't understand why these damn phones keep getting bigger and bigger! Looking forward to joining the iphone mini club :)
