I just realized I have not made a review of my current iPhone 13 mini phone. And since I always make a comprehensive review of every new iPhone I own, here it is.
The iPhone 13 series is more or less not much different from the 12 series except for the better processor and camera system so this is going to be a mini review. Why do I downgrade from the regular-sized iPhone 12 to the 13 mini? Mainly because of weight. Regular readers of my blog (and tweets) will remember that I use my iPhone mostly for social media and the occasional workout. Holding the bigger iPhone for a prolonged period of time is not good for my wrist. Taking along the mini iPhone while jogging however is light on my pockets so I don’t notice it much.
While the screen looks smaller, the viewable screen size is actually bigger than the iPhone 8 because of the slim bezels around it. Typing is also a pleasure on the smaller screen and you don’t have to extend your fingers too much to touch the upper parts of the screen. The camera system is the biggest improvement over the 12. Not only the lens is slightly larger that they had to change the orientation to accommodate the bigger size, the photo quality has also tremendously improved, especially for night mode photography. My photos taken at night are much clearer and brighter and the 4K video recording has also gotten much better.
Other than that, there is not much else to report about the 13 mini. Build and design-wise, it is exactly the same as the 12 mini save for the camera orientation. If you already have an iPhone 12 before, it is not a significant upgrade. I would advise for you to wait for the 14 or even 15, rumoured to have a USB-C port (fingers crossed).
