With the exception of the iPhone 12 mini, no other manufacturer has continued to produce luxury smartphones in smaller sizes, making the iPhone 13 mini unique. It’s portable and lightweight, however the screen may be a little small for reading on, and the battery life is a little short. The Apple A15 Bionic SoC provides more than adequate power. Although storage on this phone ranges from 128GB to 512GB, the cost is high. Both during the day and at night, the cameras capture good detail, which makes them great. However, you cannot take macro photos. Although there is a notch that can be annoying and the screen doesn’t have a high refresh rate, everything appears clear and bright.
Versions: A2628 (International, Hong Kong); A2481 (USA); A2626 (Canada, Mexico); A2629 (China); A2630 (Russia)
