It might be mini in size, but for features the iPhone 13 Mini excels thanks to an excellent camera, quality display and improved battery life.
Great camera ; Better battery life than the previous Mini ; The most powerful small phone around
No ProMotion ; No opitcal zoom ; Still can’t compete with the other iPhone 13 models for battery life
It might be mini in size, but the iPhone 13 Mini excels thanks to an excellent camera, quality display and improved battery life.

Improvements all around in a miniature form
Expert review by : James Peckham (techradar.com)
A modest upgrade of Apple's smallest iPhone
Small but premium design ; Promising battery life
No 120Hz screen ; Same design as iPhone 12 mini
Expert review by : Britta O'Boyle (pocket-lint.com)
The smallest of the iPhone 13 series - but don't let its size fool you, as it's got massive performance. Ideal for those who don't want a big screen.
Lovely compact and lightweight design ; Solid performance - the same power as iPhone 13 ; Beautiful bright display ; Great camera performance
Battery life isn't amazing ; Camera housing looks big on this smaller handset ; No telephoto zoom lens ; No fast refresh-rate display
If you don't want a big-screen device then this handset is ideal. It's a true pocket powerhouse that's well worthy of your attention - if you can forgive the smaller battery life as the only compromise anyway.

Mini size. Less ‘mini' battery life. The Apple iPhone 13 Mini is the best micro-scale iPhone to date - and seemingly the last.
Improved cameras ; Better battery life ; Uncompromised power ; Nothing else like it
No telephoto/macro ; Can be fiddly to use ; The notch is annoying ; No Touch ID
Outwardly similar to the iPhone 12 Mini, but this upgrade meaningfully improves the camera and battery life of Apple’s most pocketable iPhone.

2021's iPhone 13 mini offers a few key updates, from the chipset to the cameras, but is broadly the same as the previous year's 12 mini.
Lightweight and compact ; Powerful performance ; Great cameras
Limited battery life ; Relatively expensive ; No ProMotion display
It isn't a significant update over the iPhone 12 Mini, but if you want a small, light phone and the price and battery life are no barrier, the iPhone 13 Mini is a great choice.

Is the iPhone 13 Mini the ideal phone for you, if you prefer your handsets to be pint-sized in proportion? Or should you keep looking for a different diddy device?
— Great camera, better battery life, and the most powerful petite phone around
— No optical zoom option, and an unimpressive display refresh rate
If you think most devices these days are too huge to handle and you’d prefer a smaller-sized smartphone, then this is undoubtedly the best around thanks to its brilliant camera, top-level performance, and good battery life. A couple of drawbacks...

In this review, we are looking at the iPhone 13 Mini, kindly loaned to us by Three for this review. It is an interesting one for me, as the ‘regular' iPhone 13 is my daily driver, and in everything but battery and screen/physical size, both the phones...
There are many great things about the iPhone 13 Mini and its small size. So much so that if you want a good iPhone experience in a small size, this is still the iPhone to go for. Now with the iPhone 14 out, it also brings this in a very nice price...
