Currently, the screens of mainstream smartphones are above 6.1 inches. Most of the products in the Android camp are equipped with large screens above 6.5 inches. For users like us who like thin mobile phones, it is really not very friendly. Fortunately, Apple did not abandon us small screen enthusiasts. From 2020 to 2021, it launched extremely thin 5G phones, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini for two consecutive years.

Among them, after the iPhone 12 mini was launched, the battery life issue has been widely criticized. So, what is the actual experience of the iPhone 13 mini that was launched in 2021? With a truth-seeking attitude, I bought one a few years ago. Considering my own needs, I also chose a 256GB version, which costs a total of 6,000 oceans. After more than 5 months of experience, I have also gained a new understanding of this phone. After the actual experience, do I regret it? Next, I will tell you my true feelings.

Advantages

. The mobile phone is very thin and easy to hold and control with one hand

Just like As mentioned at the beginning, the biggest driving force for the author to buy the iPhone 13 mini is that its body size is very light and thin. This is true. Although his screen size reaches 5.4 inches and , the body size is smaller than that of the iPhone 8. The whole machine weighs only more than 140 grams, and there is no feeling of weight bearing in your hand.

As the full-screen phone with the smallest body screen, its control logic is basically the same as that of iPhone 11, so there is no need to worry about habits at all. Especially when you need to stand up and lean against the handrail when you take the subway and bus, you don’t have the problem of using your mobile phone to control it, because such a small mobile phone is quite convenient to control with one hand.

. The configuration is strong, the system is smooth, and the learning cost is not high. Although the iPhone 13 mini is the cheapest model in the iPhone 13 series, it can give consumers a good deal in terms of core configuration. When you feel attentively. in terms of configuration, it is almost the same as iPhone 13 . It is equipped with a 12 million AI dual camera that supports displacement anti-shake, and has a narrower Face ID "bangs" component, midframe aluminum alloy, rear cover glass, support IP68 waterproof is no exception and will not look cheap when held in your hand.

The most commendable thing about this phone is naturally its performance. Some people say that it is equipped with a residual blood version of A15 chip, and its performance is not as good as that of iPhone 13 Pro or above. In fact, its actual performance can completely defeat a large number of Snapdragon 8Gen1 phones. Although it does not have high flash, it can give me a very smooth user experience with the brand new iOS 15 system.

It is worth emphasizing that the control logic of this iPhone 13 mini is not essentially different from the previous full-screen iPhone, so there is no need for much system control learning cost.

. The camera capacity has been greatly improved, and the battery life is significantly improved compared to the previous generation

. Unlike the flagship of the Android camp, the iPhone 13 mini is a pixel. The old one stayed at 12 million. Originally, I thought its shooting ability would make people feel less powerful than that of the iPhone 12 mini. The fact is exactly the opposite. Objectively speaking, the photography ability of gave me a certain surprise, even better than iPhone 12 Pro Max, especially the performance of night scenes has improved significantly.

This is mainly due to its use of the same main camera and ultra-wide-angle lens on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and its displacement optical anti-shake function. Coupled with the strong computing power of the A15 chip, the imaging quality is satisfactory. In addition, the iPhone 13 mini has added a movie mode video recording function, which is more conducive to my video creation.

Let’s talk about the battery life of the iPhone 13 mini. Although its body is relatively small, its actual battery life is very improved compared to the iPhone 12 mini. Under normal use, you can go out at 8 am and go home at 5 pm. The battery can be balanced by about 15%. In severe cases, use the machine for three or four hours continuously, and you don’t have to worry about shutting down the machine. Personally feel that its actual battery life is basically the same as iPhone 12.

Disadvantages
