Both compact iPhones are the best in their class. In the entire history of smartphones with a screen diagonal of less than six inches. It is not that easy to place a modern smartphone in a large body, but it is much easier than doing what Apple did. Was it worth it? Everyone already knows that no: nobody needs small smartphones, nobody buys them, iPhone 12 minieven stopped producing. This is a misconception. Small smartphones are still needed by a huge number of people. They are being bought more than any smartphones bought at the end of the 2000s. Bigger and extra-large smartphones sell better – so what? If the iPhone mini were even half as bad as people write about them, they would be gone for a long time. At the very least, there would be no iPhone 13 mini. You can think and say whatever you want about Apple, but in a calm attitude to losses it has not yet been caught.
The iPhone 13 mini is a great smartphone worth buying. Of course, with some reservations
We will not argue about the obvious. Compact iPhones are in demand. They are not for everyone, but there is a demand for them and they justify their existence in the Apple lineup. Who needs them and why is an idle and meaningless question. Those who need them know the answers to these questions, the rest are not interested. Perhaps, in the fact that one of the flagship models of the iPhone in 2020 was the iPhone 12 mini, Apple was still mistaken. In assessing real demand, three times. Those who are not ready to put up with something are always more audible than those who are satisfied with everything.
And in the media and in the Apple mail they wrote about it. without ceasing, bringing arguments to which the company could not help but listen. Even if it was a mistake, it was impossible not to commit it. To understand without it how you can make the lineup of flagship iPhones even more attractive – too. There are tens of millions of fans of small iPhones. Every year there are fewer of them, but it would be foolish to ignore their preferences. The small iPhone should definitely be in Apple’s lineup – as long as there is demand for it.
iPhone 13 mini vs 12 mini
IPhone 13 mini’s camera and battery are cooler than the iPhone 12 mini
Since September 24 this year, Apple has been shipping two small but uncompromisingly modern iPhones. The lineup still includes the iPhone 12 mini, which failed miserably. Now, the “boring and uninteresting” iPhone 13 mini has been added to it. According to indirect data, both are selling well, although they are inferior in this to their larger and brighter peers. The 2020 and 2021 models are largely different, but you won’t be able to see most of their differences with the naked eye. The new mini is thicker (a quarter of a millimeter) and 6 grams heavier. By the way, the iPhone 12 mini weighs 135 grams, like the very first iPhone. Unlike the rest of the iPhone 13 models, which have also increased in weight, the extra grams of the iPhone 13 mini are not felt – at least, I did not feel them. In most cases, naturally, the iPhone 13 mini is better – but not in everything. IPhone 12 mini,

Проблемы iPhone 13 и их решения
The colors of the new mini are attractive and wonderful, but purple is not among them. But the rest of the iPhone 13 mini is superior to last year’s model. The most noticeable is the smaller “bangs” (notch at the top of the screen), as well as the larger and diagonally located cameras on the back of the smartphone. The neckline is scolded and praised, but the fact that its area has decreased – everyone liked it. Cameras let in more light and do better in low light conditions. The advantages of the cameras of the iPhone 13 mini over the cameras of its ancestor are not limited to this. True, for the rest of the advantages, one should thank the increased intellectual power of the Apple A15 Bionic chip, and not the cameras themselves. The Cinema Effect mode, optical stabilization of cameras and a number of other goodies became possible because of it.
The iPhone 13 mini has increased battery capacity and improved battery life. According to Apple, you can watch videos on the new mini for 17 hours, 2 hours longer than last year. Impressive, but not so strong. In the stress test, the iPhone 13 mini lasted 6 hours and 26 minutes , which is an outstanding result. The invisible advantages of the iPhone 13 mini are the increased power of its processors (both central and graphics), its screen is brighter (800 nits instead of 625), and many others are noticeable in some situations. For example, due to the increased brightness of the screen, the image on it is visible even on a bright sunny day. And yet, the iPhone 12 mini is good enough in almost all real-life situations. And, if the low price is a big deal for you, the iPhone 12 mini won’t disappoint you either.
Inexpensive iPhone 14 Max
The new iPhone mini is better than the old one, but also more expensive
According to unofficial information, the iPhone 13 mini is the last small iPhone in the lineup of flagship iPhones. In 2022, this range will include models in two sizes (6.1 and 6.7 inches), in the “Pro” class and in the “non-Pro” class. They will be called iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. A very attractive lineup, and a relatively inexpensive model with a huge screen cannot but become a hit. But what about small iPhones? Will there be no more of them? Yes, they won’t. Among the flagship iPhone models.
According to rumors (including from fairly reliable sources), Apple is ready to meet users with no special preferences in the future. The iPhone and iPad model lines will each have one model with a physical Home button – such devices also have a large market. And besides the old-fashioned iPhone with modern filling, the next iPhone mini will also join the non-flagship iPhone models. Models “not for everyone” will be released every two years, so the first such mini will be released earlier than in 2023. One could fantasize about its name, but let Apple rack its brains over it itself.
