Everyone talks about the iPhone 13 Pro lineup, but what about the Mini which many of us love for its size?
Here's a quick review going over the pros and cons of the new iPhone 13 Mini, new features such as Photographic Styles, and whether I think it's worth it for me.
The Mini wide lens is f1.6 aperture as shown in the list, not f1.8 as I had narrated
Gear I used:

Smartphone mount with locking swivel amzn.to/3fiJGGQ
Baby lightstand amzn.to/2HiIV40
Joby Gorillapod amzn.to/35SEyq5
GoPro Hero 9 amzn.to/2Ia9acT

Nicely done piece. Had the 13 mini just over a month now and quite pleased. The portability factor, lighter weight, and ease of carry won me over. It’s a device I’ll always have on hand. Nice to be able grab shots one handed too.

I currently use the 5.8" iPhone 11 Pro and I am so convinced with the 13 Mini except for the lack of the 2x/3x telephoto lens. Unlike many, I actually use the telephoto lens quite a bit - in decent lighting it is fantastic to catch a much closer viewpoint in greater detail. I use the telephoto 2x lens to photograph many plants and other nature artefacts, and sometimes it gets a nice natural bokeh. Also for beautiful views in vast landscapes, while most opt for a normal or ultrawide shot, I still like capturing it at 2x a lot of the time for some reason. If you use the standard 1x lens and zoom into it at 2x, it looks quite worse. But I guess this is a non-issue for 99% of consumers :( If the 13 Mini had a telephoto (2x or 3x) I would get it, I love that lens even more than the ultrawide, which actually isn't very high quality and gets skewed and distorted near the four edges. I guess I will stick it out with my 11 Pro and maybe get a new battery for it, because it's at 84% now.

No I agree with you, the telephoto lens feels like the greatest benefit stretching out to the Pro. I’ve recommended my gf to get the 13 pro for the telephoto lens alone as she will rely on it more for her content creation. Whereas I have other cameras I use for mine.

Imagine combining the processing power of modern smartphones into an actual DSLR. I guess Sony comes close but even they don't seem to use smartphone SoC in their cameras even though I bet they could - since their camera software is copied into their android smartphones. I have the 12 mini and am getting the 13 mini just for the slight bump in battery - it's been an awesome phone for the past year. Also, Product Red ftw. Enjoy!

@johnnykahlert6437 9 ай бұрын

That’s exactly what I want. An iPhone pro mini. The only downside of that would be the battery life. It would probably be 2/3 of the 13 mini battery life.

Photographic styles works with all modes as its just tailoring the raw sensor data before saving it in a compressed format. You can even combine it with the built-in filters in the camera app

The lack of ProRaw is making me seriously consider returning my 13 Mini. I love the size, but come on Apple, really? It wasn’t mentioned anywhere before I ordered it.

@shauncameron8390 2 жыл бұрын

Because the ProRaw feature was intended for the the 13 Pro and Pro Max. The 13 min has more in common with the regular 13.

@Frygisk 2 жыл бұрын

@@shauncameron8390 yeah it makes sense, I’m just annoyed I didn’t check it. They announced the mini would get all the camera festures of the 12 pro max, so I just figured ProRaw was a part of that since my 12 pro max has it. So far the only downside to the mini, orherwise an absolutely wonderful little phone.

@chidorirasenganz 2 жыл бұрын

Unless you want to do a lot of heavy post processing, photographic styles should more than make up for ProRaw. As you can control color saturation, contrast and color temp with it

I think it’s become apparent now, that Apple intends to have two distinct seperate tiers of phones, not just based on size but features as well. ProRaw definitely feels like a software / marketing restriction now at this point.
