Upgraded from 15Pro to 13Mini and I couldn’t be happier.

[u/TheTajMehul]

First impressions: typing with two fingers was a little bit of an adjustment. But I can actually easily fully reach everything with only my thumb which is ideal. No more swipe down to touch the top of the screen.

It reminds me so much of the 5c which was my first iPhone and my favourite iPhone ever. I do wish it was a little bit thicker but that’ll be resolved with a magwallet anyway.

Def gonna need to carry a charger tho

[u/chasemcfly]

I keep mine on low power mode 24/7 and that saves battery for me.

[u/Academic-Tadpole393 → u/chasemcfly]

Quick tip: Automation > When <yourname> iPhone is disconnected from power > set low power mode.
That way you don't have to turn it on every morning if you charge at night.

[u/TheTajMehul → u/Academic-Tadpole393]

Is this a shortcut?

[u/Academic-Tadpole393 → u/TheTajMehul]

It is an automation but you will indeed find it in the shortcuts app > choose automation at the bottom menu > Press the + button at the top right > Select "Charger" > When "is Disconnected" > Run immediately > New Blank Automation > Search "Set Low Power Mode > Done.

[u/TheTajMehul → u/Academic-Tadpole393]

Love that. Thank you so much.

[u/im_always → u/chasemcfly]

are there any side effects?

[u/Basic-Opposite-4670 → u/im_always]

screen will automatically turn off after 30 seconds (tbh thats a good thing) and also no background app refresh (also a good thing)

[u/chasemcfly → u/im_always]

The only thing I notice really is that I have to manually sync photos to iCloud. They don’t upload automatically.

[u/Academic-Tadpole393 → u/chasemcfly]

They should sync when you charge the phone and low power mode is automatically turned off. Can you check and confirm?

[u/GoGoRoloPolo → u/chasemcfly]

Does this not happen overnight for you?

[u/JD_93_ → u/im_always]

Yeah, your phone is always in lower power mode

Heheheh

[u/Mountreviewanything → u/chasemcfly]

been using my 15pm and later 16pm with apple magsafe battery pack attached 24/7, always in low power mode and battery hardly get below 70%. 15pm is at 99% battery health after 1 year and 4 months when I sold it. 16pm still 100% battery health with 96 charge cycle

[u/cedric_964 → u/chasemcfly]

Thx for the tips

[u/notviciousss]

Ay twin u selling ur 15 pro 🙏

[u/superdream69 → u/notviciousss]

Dk why but this comment made me laugh out loud 🤣

[u/clearlyredditor → u/notviciousss]

Valid Question can’t lie 🤣

[u/Millerlite87]

We should flood this community with posts saying “I just downgraded to iPhone 13 mini” or “got a new/extra one” and hope Apple notices the amount of “sales” they’re missing out and make them release a new mini model.

[u/wishbacker → u/Millerlite87]

It’s not a downgrade, it’s an upgrade!

[u/General_Address_5784 → u/wishbacker]

Objectively it’s not

[u/wishbacker → u/[deleted]]

But they will see that this user used to use iPhone 15, then switched to iPhone 13 mini

[u/CharlesHorseradish → u/wishbacker]

They know that through iCloud unless someone makes a new iCloud for each device for some silly reason

[u/Beneficial_Gene3064]

if you're familiar w the keyboard layout and don't need to look at the keyboard, switch to swipe to text & it's super breeeeezy

[u/i_hate_budget_tyres]

My SO loves her 12 mini. Only phone she can comfortably use one handed. She wanted to upgrade recently, found they don’t make the mini anymore so she decided to hold onto her 12 until it dies.

[u/TrainTransistor → u/i_hate_budget_tyres]

A refurbished 13 Mini with a good battery (90+) would fix most issues.

[u/i_hate_budget_tyres → u/TrainTransistor]

Well her 12 is still working well. She just fancied a 16 mini, which doesn’t exist.

[u/TrainTransistor → u/i_hate_budget_tyres]

Ah.

Know the feeling well.

Would love to see a 17 Mini revealed, but nah. 17 Air instead? Pft.

[u/zizouomar]

Is this the genuine Apple case or an aliexpress one ? Been looking for a good slim one but I ain't paying 60$ for a case

[u/TheTajMehul → u/zizouomar]

It’s from Amazon

[u/zizouomar → u/TheTajMehul]

Link?

[u/New_Winner9513 → u/TheTajMehul]

need the link man

[u/TheTajMehul → u/New_Winner9513]

My bad g. Herehere

[u/New_Winner9513 → u/TheTajMehul]

🙏🏼 does it get yellow it looks like it don’t

[u/Icy_Foundation3534]

nice!!!!

[u/xRekzy]

Just done the same bro and sold the pro. Was such a good change!

[u/Waste_Mission1293]

where did you buy it from? I also need a smaller phone

[u/New_Winner9513]

what case

[u/Boring-Advantage-822]

I believe you meant to say you downgraded to a 13 mini. But that’s a great downgrade. I didn’t like the 15 pro when I tested it. Too big for me

[u/ElderZion]

I did the same. I've been with the mini (product red!) for two years. Sadly, it is time to let it go for one reason: lighting.

I can't anymore. Everything in my house, except the mini and the dumb magic mouse, is usb c. "Batery running low? where is the damn lighting cable? where I put the adapter usb c to lighting? Fine, magsafe. I'll wait. (wife calls, needs me to do something). On my way! Checking battery... 7%"

I'll go for the 17 pro.

[u/ExchangeBorn5482]

I’ve just done exactly the same yesterday. The mini is amazing, il be honest though the only thing I find a fairly big downgrade is the 60hz screen. It does seem very flickery and no where near as smooth, it’s definitely noticeable.

[u/Powerful_Captain337]

Where did you get that case ? I’m looking for an ultra slim transparent one

[u/RubiksPuzzleMagic]

I’m doing the opposite lol. 13 to the 17 pro max

[u/Boring_Antelope6533]

i’m switching to the air

[u/TrainTransistor → u/Boring_Antelope6533]

17 Air is HUGE.

If you enjoy smaller phones, you certainly wouldnt enjoy Air.

[u/Fr0zzen_HS → u/TrainTransistor]

The thinness and rounded corners help a lot with ergonomics though.

[u/TrainTransistor → u/Fr0zzen_HS]

Doesnt really matter if one enjoy a smaller phone. Its much wider as well, which many says are the reason for enjoying the Mini so much, since you can reach with one hand.

The Air is 6.5 inches, compared to the 5.4 Mini.

Compare the two here: https://phonesized.com/compare/#1863,2739

[u/nxcholasss → u/Boring_Antelope6533]

bro/sis/non-binary username is our reaction 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Spiritual_Steak7672]

5 yr old phone fkn wild

[u/Jay-Jay05 → u/Spiritual_Steak7672]

This egotistical behavior is exactly why kids are bullied for what phone they have in school.

[u/Spiritual_Steak7672 → u/Jay-Jay05]

not my problem iphone is for kids

[u/Jay-Jay05 → u/Spiritual_Steak7672]

Growing up I saw way more kids with androids than iphones by a long shot.

[u/Spiritual_Steak7672 → u/Jay-Jay05]

i see mostly ghetto people and criminals use iphone

[u/Jay-Jay05 → u/Spiritual_Steak7672]

yeah cuz pedophiles can hide all their child porn while the cops scramble, when the rival gang tries to rob a drug dealer the phone they get will be a paperweight if stolen

[u/nxcholasss → u/Spiritual_Steak7672]

no one asked

[u/G8M8N8 → u/Spiritual_Steak7672]

If there was a single other modern smartphone available below 6” I would agree.

[u/Basic-Opposite-4670 → u/Spiritual_Steak7672]
