Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love use the phone with one hand easily reaching the edge of the whole screen. Before this phone I was using iPhone SE 2 with even smaller screen sizes, now this is perfect fit for me as daily driver. I have a pixel phone too but I just preferred phone that is easy for one hand maneuver.

As long as you do not mind the screen size, I prefer the mini for its lightweight and long battery life. The color red is excellent. I purchased the clear and non-slippery phone cover, separate purchase, for its look and to leave it on the dashboard for navigation. If you are annoyed to use mini screen size for google map, the alternative apple map make it visually easy on the eye for a zoomed-in navigation experience. Apple Map is suitable for general direction with people with speed ticket problems (prefer setting must be initiated), and google map is ideal for locations where you have never been there and need an exaction turn by turn. All apps are about the same, but with more privacy security than android.

Bought this to upgrade from the iPhone SE 2020. The screen is definitely bigger and brighter. The cameras are better at night, but otherwise, I don't see much difference. The 5G performance is fine where it works, but it doesn't work in many places. And with a full iCloud backup from the old phone to the new one, it "feels" like the same exact phone in many ways. Overall, I'd call this an incremental upgrade at best; not wowed and in retrospect not convinced I needed it.

Besides the amazing color of red the camera is amazing so many options an features there never a reason to carry a camera for anything now a days. The ease of using this thing is amazing and the 5G really does hold up it’s promise of fastest internet NO JOKE

iPhone Mini 13 is near perfect now that it has a better battery. Love the color. It’s not black but it can appear that way. It’s a very dark navy and I think it’s a great choice. Perfect size. OS can’t be beat. Get yourself this iPhone

The most compact phone for people who aren’t addicted to there phone. This is a phone when you want to enjoy life and not be on your phone all the time but still want the most powerful phone with great battery and cameras.

The compelling feature of the iPhone 13 mini, besides the quality of design and build, is highlighted in its name: "mini." For me, it's the perfect size for comfortable holding and messaging, with the sole, but minor, drawback being the size of the keyboard. Although this can be somewhat overcome by shifting from portrait to landscape, this defeats the preferred 1-hand positioning for messaging. The camera performance is exemplary as is the speed at which apps execute their duties. I was an android loyalist until my final, pre-retirement job came with an employer-provided iPhone. That eye-opening exposure to Apple products converted me. I am now on my third iPhone with each one happy improvements over the previous.

The best premium small phone you can every buy. Looks great in red. Battery life has been improved compared to the 12 mini, and seems on par with the iphone 12. great camera, and the bump to 128Gb is great.

After 11 years using Android phones, I decided to switch partially because this is I wanted a smaller phone. While there are a few Android features and customizations I miss, this phone makes up for with it's simplicity and better controlled software and environment. Switching from an S21, I was concerned they I would be disappointed by the battery life. I am surprised that I am actually experiencing better battery life, which I suspect is a result of better controll over background processes. I am also discovering that many of the Google apps thought I would miss out on are available on the iPhone. Overall I am happy with the phone and the experience. I hope the continue to make phones this size.

I love this phone! It’s fast, takes amazing pictures, 5G AND fits comfortable in my pocket!! The screen is perfect for my needs! I hated carrying my XS in my pocket.

The mini is a great phone for the value. It has the same processor as the regular sized 13 and the pro. Not only that the form factor is reminisce of an iPhone 7. The 13 mini has a much better battery life versus the 12 mini (10% increase). The iPhone 13 mini has a 2,438mAh battery compared to the 12 mini’s 2,227mAh. This difference is significant since the 12 mini's battery would be in the red by the evening while the 13 mini will last throughout the entire day.

Camera is really good. Some adjustment to no home button. No instructions or tutorials, either. Not exactly easy to shut off. Had to go online to figure out most of the changes. While the whole face is the screen, I don't believe that this is a significant advantage from the SE 2nd gen. Expanding the font size so that I can see it creates some typing errors, just as the old SE did. Sure, 5G is supposed to be great, but I'm not seeing the advantage, though I don't watch movies, etc on it. Trade in of the SE 2 was excellent, value wise, making this purchase a decent deal for new tech. From my viewpoint, that and a tech upgrade and new battery was about all this really offered. I want a phone, not a way of life as a phone is a tool and nothing more. I don't want a huge phone in my pocket. For those who can't get their eyes off their phone, or your phone is your business lifeline, this is probably not the best choice for you and the 13 or 13 Pro may be a better choice for the couple of hundred bucks difference.

Upgraded from an iPhone 8 and I'm loving the 13 mini. Great camera, perfect size if you prefer a smaller phone, and snappy performance.

Mini-me!! I was looking for a nice compact backup phone and this is it! I got this phone for $300 after my iPhone XS trade-in, $100 off sale and T-mobile promotion. I didn’t have to deal with the T-Mobile credits which locks you in for 24-months. I was able to get the sim unlocked by T-Mobile chat providing a receipt that it was paid in full. Battery life is amazing and phone fits nicely in the palm of your hands even with a case. Brings back the memories of one handed texting!

Been using the phone for a while and upgraded from iPhone 7. Great upgrade for the price (cost us $450 + tax after trade in)! Camera quality is unbelievable and definitely better battery life than iPhone 12 mini could've given us. It's perfect size for 1 hand use and I personally don't think anyone can see the real difference between this and Pro models except for obvious size difference

If your sick of heavy object in your Pockets this is the phone for you . Light efficient great camera will never go back

I am glad to be back to this perfectly sized iPhone for one-handed operability! The battery is much better than the iPhone 12 mini, and lasts about 2 days for my basic phone use - I'm not into social media apps. Its camera uses the same size sensor as iPhone 12 pro max's camera! I have nothing to complain about it, and simply happy because I also got a good deal from Best Buy!!!

Camera is much better in low light than iPhone 12 was. That’s the major difference for me. Battery life is better but having an extra 10 percent at the end of the day, is whatever to me. Also the brighter screen is barely noticeable as expected. Still happy to have upgraded from a 12.

An excellent phone I gifted to my brother! I liked the color and practicality of the phone.

Great phone, no issues and great battery life and display.
