I made the mistake of upgrading (13 Mini) and it is very clear that the new UI was not tested at all on smaller screens. The rounded buttons take up so much extra margin that actual usable space is greatly diminished.
- thedougd 1y agoReplied at the same time as you. I agree. In Safari there’s ton of space on each side of the URL bubble yet I only get about 7 chara visible.
- Tempest1981 1y agoThere is a Safari setting to improve this, although it adds height. Still preferable, imo.
- rfmc 1y agoHow's the battery on your 13 Mini? Mine is abhorrent compared to a few weeks ago.
- Reason077 1y agoI have the standard iPhone 13 (not mini) and the battery longevity is probably the best of any phone I've ever owned. At over 3.5 years old it still reports 89% battery health and lasts much longer than I need. Previous iPhones I owned were all pretty much on their last legs by that age. I haven't upgraded it to iOS 26 / Liquid Glass, though, and given what I'm seeing/hearing, I don't plan to.
- jdsnape 1y agoI have a 12 mini and have also found that 26 has killed my battery life. I also agree that they didn’t test it on smaller screens, there are lots of cases where things don’t quite fit right. I’ve been wanting a better camera for a little while, I guess it’s time to adjust to something bigger :\
- captn3m0 1y agoI just replaced it before the 26 upgrade. It was at 76% by then. With the new battery, I haven’t faced any issues. It lasts a whole day easily, unless I do things like tethering etc.
- janaagaard 1y agoSame here - on a 12 Mini. My wife and my mother have the same phone, and I have recommended that they hold back on upgrading. I really hope Apple will address this in a dot-upgrade later this year, but I am afraid that the market share of the 12 and 13 models are too low for them to justify this.
- jijijijij 1y agoOn the mini, some UI elements got half pushed into Narnia. Apple, like, WTF?!
- Zaheer 1y agoSame. Terrible mistake. My mini overheats like crazy now.
- layer8 1y agoThe mini’s logical resolution is actually the same as the Pro Max with Display Zoom, hence the latter will have the same issue.
