I think the battery is fine in my 13mini! There's maybe a natural tradeoff where most of the reasons you'd need more battery also benefit from the bigger viewing area of a larger phone. And also, maybe there are fewer pixels to render on a smaller screen?
I'm still holding out hope for a tick-tick-tock cycle yielding a 16mini. I suspect the same demographics that want smaller phones also often aren't rapid upgraders. However, there's probably, hopefully, still enough accumulating demand for an every three generations mini upgrade.
Apple is trying to launch the Vision Pro presently also, and so might be tactically benefiting from having no mini iPhone to worry about for a couple years.
Also, allow me to gush that the iPhone 13 mini fits in the front pocket of women's jeans, in a pinch!!
- ksec 3y agoI wouldn't say iPhone 13 Mini fixed the battery life problem. It was just iPhone 12 mini was so bad. Especially with 5G. I use it a lot for work ( email and whatsapp ) and 13 Mini just dont quite make it. Technically they could have made an iPhone SE as Mini size, with single camera, down clocked A18 ( on N3E ), more internal space for battery due to one less camera lens, tune the OLED panel for energy efficiency rather than brightness and quality. But modern Apple is all about operational efficiency. I doubt they will do any of that.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoI upgraded from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone SE 3 but would have loved to have had a Mini as an option. The SE 3 is still small enough for me to use one handed but I know that isn't the case for a lot of people.
