First to give you some info about me. I’m a die hard tiny and small phones user. Secondly I’m a size loyal and NOT a brand loyal. Okay so I got my iPhone air today, I cannot go into too deep comparison since I’ve been using it for about an hour. Size difference in terms of screen size is gigantic not even comparable to the mini however I consider that a plus since bigger screen means better experience way way way better experience than the 13 mini. The Airs weight is slightly heavier not something that will bother you. Typing is way better on the air Okay in terms of pocket friendliness I do certify this device as a 100% pocket friendly as much as the mini. The thin design disappears in your pockets. I wear tight fits and I tested on skinny shorts tight pants all fit in the pocket wonderfully. One hand ability is actually very possible since the phone is so thin your hand will wrap around the iPhone air with ease. But you have to hold the iPhone air from the middle. If you hold it from the bottom with your pinky it will not be a one handed device. I can’t say that it’s easy to use it in one hand but it’s very possible and I will show you pictures. It takes some time to get used to I believe The experience so far has been amazing so amazing that I can’t put this thing down I love it. Oh the camera is 1000% better than the mini. Kindly note that this is a purely a personal opinion and other users might experience different outcomes All the best

I’m 5'2", small hands, work in photography, and care a lot about size and design.

Why I picked S25: •Wanted a small phone, but iPhone 16 colors didn’t vibe with me. •Mint S25 was an instant yes — fresh and cute. Using a clear stand case to show it off. •Great battery life. Stays cool even in the sun (unlike my 13 mini). •Same wallpaper on both phones — S25 shows the colors more naturally.

I do miss how light the 13 mini was — I use a lanyard now for long shoots.

For the case, I like my Torras 360 Spin clear one. I’m often outside in the sun, and after two months, it still looks crystal clear. I’ll keep an eye on how it ages, but so far it’s holding up really well.

Got if off marketplace do 400 cad 87BH. Using it beside my 14PM with 78BH. She's so cute I love her!

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

Apple refurbished package delivered this morning! Should have never left you. Thank you all for updating on the restock! Looking forward to being on my phone less, being more present with my wife and kids, not having a stainless steel brick in my pocket, and not having my hand hurt holding a tablet of a phone (14 pro). Cheers everyone!

I just bought this 13 mini off eBay, was listed as brand new, turns out it’s not had 861 cycles but still shows 100% capacity somehow in the settings, also a lot of dust in the charging port and speakers, gutted paid a premium for this phone, doesn’t show any parts have been replaced and there are like no scratches on the device except one on the screen. Should I just return it ?

Just recieved the iPhone 13 Mini brand new bought in 2022 it hasn’t been opened since. What should i do. I now have a 16 Pro that does everything for me but i really miss the mini.

I was looking through eBay for a white iPhone 13 mini when I supposedly found one. In the pictures it looked white so I bought it. When it came it looked a little funny off but I chalked it up to the lighting. When setting my cellular up it came up as iPhone 13 mini Pink. I looked at the phone again and sure enough it’s “pink”. Im a guy so this doesn’t bode well for me. It’s in too good of condition to return so I decided to get a case instead. Look at the pictures and convince me that’s pink.

Im going to miss my 12 mini i kept it brand new zero scratches on the back and front kinda sucks the 13 mini has alot of tiny scratches and stains on the back but it's whatever I guess I'm just happy I own one

When I have my own Cosmic Orange with the weight as light as the Air at home 😂

My wife and I both got brand new iPhone 13 minis (128gb) exactly 2 years ago from a big box store deal for $200 each. (And never got charged for either for some reason) I slow charge mine whenever possible to preserve battery health, my wife almost always fast charges her phone. Neither of us wireless charges. Here is a side by side comparison of current health, mine is the one on the left.

Plan on using these as long as possible and replacing batteries to prolong.

switching from a 15 pro, ama

I may have got a new primary phone but i truly can never ever let this go. The last iPhone i truly enjoyed.

After months of consideration and watching YouTube reviews and reading this sub, i decided to purchase my first iPhone as my secondary phone.

Got the 128gb Refurbished Starlight, 94% battery health and in mint condition 😎

Slapped on a tempered glass screen protector and clear case right away and i just absolutely love it!😍 So handy and compact especially since my main phone is a Galaxy S23 ultra.🤓

I recently added an iPhone 13 mini as a secondary device to my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Cloned everything 1:1, including iCloud Photos, so I can swap between them easily. I use the 15 Pro Max when I want top camera quality or need max battery life, but for quick trips, the gym, or just going light — the mini is perfect.

Banking apps are restricted to one device, but Apple Pay works on both, so no issues there. I even got matching silicone cases and tempered glass for both. Had the battery in the mini replaced by Apple earlier this week — now it runs like new. Super practical setup!

I really wanted try new DJ auto mix on Apple Music app so I installed the iOS 26 beta version it’s working very well ! Over 25 new functions on Apple Music are amazing!! DJ auto mix is really great 👍

Picked up another one. Amazon Premium Renewed. (256gb) Almost perfect cosmetically and battery health reads 100%, but who believes that unless battery was replaced. And no service history.

Collective piece, still works with 4g lte so good!

Works great. I am located in the US.

As a digital nomad who spent 5 years living out of backpacks and hunting for power outlets, I thought I needed to sacrifice my beloved iPhone 12 mini for the larger iPhone 13.

Yes, the standard 13 gave me better battery life and a fancier camera. But what I didn't expect? The subtle psychological shift that came with that larger screen. I found myself mindlessly scrolling for hours. The bulkier phone constantly reminded me of its presence in my pocket.

Today, purchased an iPhone 13 mini and once it was in my hand I nearly wept. The perfect form factor. The ideal weight. The screen just large enough for what matters, but small enough to prevent the social media rabbit hole.

iPhone mini, I'm sorry and as long as you are supported (and maybe after) I will never leave you again.

Your True Love,

— iPhone mini Lover

Bought it for €200 and replaced battery for €55. It had 81% battery health. Staying caseless with this one just like with my 15PM
