I think this is the first time you actually did an real day of usage which might be somewhat realistic. And I dig it. Someone who buys the mini probably won’t use the camera for like more than 15 minutes a day.

1. The screen time actually drain battery too. Turn of Screen time completely and use the Battery tab to track your usage is more better. 2. Turn on Low power mode when playing game. It has been proven it will save battery by a lot (nothing affect except battery drain)

Hi, you asked for some tips. Here's mine. First I decided to use my 13 Mini as…a phone! Yes, I do some other things but I took off all games and most of the productivity apps since I have no plans on writing a book or produce a Keynote presentation or Spreadsheet, etc. If I want to play games I have an Xbox Series S and 70” tv for that not to mention an iPad Mini 6. So, what are my tips? Low Power mode. You can always turn it off if necessary, but the A15 is so powerful that even in Low Power mode, performance is not an issue. I do something’s like check on my bank balance, credit cards, do an occasional text, check emails (delete/respond, forward, etc), check the weather as needed., in short, small everyday tasks. So, my usage is kept to a minimum. As a result, I usually have about 60% or higher at the end of the day. Low Power actually works on the 13 Mini and stretches my charge and then some. I realise I'm probably not a typical user (I'm 71 and I don’t 'live' on my phone. For me it’s main use is practical and for communications). As I've indicated I have other tech for entertainment and other uses. I like the size, I have 100GBs of storage out of 128 free. My Apps are few but what I need or want at the ready. For me, the 13 Mini is the best iPhone of the offering this time around. Apple addressed the battery issue and has given us the best small iPhone possible at this time. Everyone is going huge in their screen sizes, it won’t be long before guys will have have a bag just for their phones. I like being able to put my 13M in my front jeans pocket! As soon as the Apple Watch doesn’t need an iPhone, I may just have an Apple Watch for phone usage, I'm close to it now!

Your Spotify battery drain was a bug that got fixed right after your video. That would account for the pretty bad SOT you got in your first video.

Pretty sure you’ve convinced me more than anyone else to get a 13 mini. 助かりました。ありがとー！

Awesome video! I just got my iPhone 13 mini and going through and changing any settings to improve battery life and this helped. Also like the day in the life of the iPhone 13 mini to show the kind of screen on time to expect. Love your videos.

Great vidoes man Keepem coming

Good way to start my Sunday morning 🙌🏻

I have just bought one 2 days ago, and today I got to 8 hours of screen time!!! Of course with many high battery usage settings turned off, but I’m pretty impressed for a mini device

Great content and the music is 🔥very helpful video as I got my iPhone 13 mini last month

Great video. Thanks!

Batteri saving tip: dont use ur phone

Wow! This gives a hope for normal usage of the phone! All the tips are not new, but my everyday life :)

More vlog to come peace gates with the iphone

I have the iPhone 12 mini and I’ve had this phone for almost 2 years now. When I decided to move to a smaller phone with a smaller battery I knew that a compromise how do you made. So I made sure I had battery packs to charge if necessary in the middle of the day or charging cable in my work truck or charging cable in my car. Having a small phone does have its drawbacks but if you accommodate yourself A small phone will work just fine nowadays people have battery packs to charge or a place to plug into it’s not like it was 10 years ago. The next iPhone I get will be the iPhone 13 mini because it’s the last of a small phone breed. So I will enjoy the small form factor for a few more years before I am forced to unfortunately get a bigger phone because these phones won’t last forever! From your video it looks like you got a good amount of time from the 13 mini great video keep it up.

Thank you so much… made life so easier for me…. Thanks

Nice video, Keep it up and good luck :)

This video is really funny when you keep emphasising saving battery. Sounds pretty “sarcastic” hahahahah. Nice one.

Thanks really great guide..any thoughts on cases, etc? So many around!

Honestly I tested the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max for a week before sending them both back for a 13 mini 512gb. The battery test I did between the 13 mini and 13 Pro were so close I wondered why the 13 Pro was so heavy? It was only within 3% difference between tasking the 13 Pro vs the 13 mini. This was streaming Disney+ for 3 hours and checking email, streaming Spotify, etc… At the end of the day the 13 mini was at 40% and the 13 Pro was at 48%. This only makes the 13 mini look so much more impressive since it’s size and weight is a fraction to the 13 Pro at 204 grams.

Lovely video and tips. Just curious, did you forget to turn on the low battery mode or is there a thought behind it?

Coincidentally by the way to save the battery life turn the screen time option off in the settings because otherwise it’s going to be assessing every single task you use the phone on 24 hours a day etc. So you wanna save battery turn that Screen Time feature off clearly otherwise it’s like I said calculating every single option setting whatever you do on the phone it’s running in the background trying to assess and give you the computational information. It clearly saves battery by disabling it

Nice Video

I have a samsung a22 that gives 12 hr+ screen on tieme. I'll use the smsung for entertainment and iphone 13 mini for work and photography. It should be fine. Thanks for the review man 🙂🙂

peace be with you and also with me!

To relate to my last comment: I don’t even have 5g in Germany on my carrier and I’m currently on 13% battery exactly after 7 hours and 23 mins on screen time. That is fucking amazing. Connected to Bluetooth all day because of my Apple Watch

I'm using a 12 mini and for once it lasted me 48hrs before I connected it to a power source. So I guess, if you follow some battery saving tips it's surely of great help!

Nice

May I know what’s the theme you are using? Really nice.

I use Apple Music and I’m glad it didn’t drain my battery

Mini 13 gang

Hello bro, been watching your videos and its very informative. Just a question, I rember that u also made a video about google pixel 5 which u said that that phone has still 50% left during the day. Does your usage that day comparable to this? Does that mean that iphone 13 mini has bad battery life? Ur anwer will much be appreciated in my decision in purchasing a mobile. Tnx a lot and more powers to your channel. New Subscriber here. 🥰

Love your videos. Just got mine today starlight.

Thanks, good video. I guess your typical day and use is not the same as most people’s. If we say most people wake up 2-3 hours later than you and don’t do as much KZfaq and gaming in an average day, the phone probably lasts quite a bit longer. Appreciate you are showing an authentic day in your life and that’s fine. Would like you to have just used the phone completely authentically without cutting back on anything but with a few power saving tactics enabled e.g. 4g, dark mode, no background app refresh to see how long it lasted without purposefully cutting back on certain apps e.g. spotify, actively trying to make it last longer.

Some features in video is important for me.. App refresh for example, maybe you try, only dark mode? How much battery life is saving, vs "normal" light mode? 20-30%+? Or not that much?

Hardly use my 13 mini. Kid you not, only used 18% from a 8am-11:30pm day. Mostly idle honestly, think it's a bit overkill for my usage, but I future proofed it anyway with 256GB + size is a major selling point for me coming up from a 2016 SE.

All that you said plus this: Turn off notifications for everything (but the 2 or 3 messaging apps that you use regularly).

Great tips! Thank you for them. I'm not a young 'power user' like you are so my battery life is actually pretty damn good. I recently got a *gorgeous* iPhone 13 mini ('midnight'-color) *FOR FREE* !!! US-based carrier 'Verizon' is literally giving them away for simply adding a new line to someone's existing family plan! Best iPhone of them all in my humble opinion. I don't want those *HUGE* models that are a real pain to hold and manipulate.

used to get around 6 hours of screen when i had one. I love this phone. Had to sell it due to money issues. Honestly, i really regret selling it. Hope to get one back...

Switch on and off the Bluetooth only when needed

Most slept on battery saving tip of all time that we all always forget about is “turning off roaming” 😭 it’s on by default on all phones it’s a trap especially if you don’t travel all the time or have a traveling phone plan anyways

Whats the battery life like with Dual sim on? That is, when keeping both lines ON at the same time (one esim and one regular physical sim)?

make a video more focussed on screen off apps such as spotify and music //podcast please.

5G - Agreed, Using 5G kills battery Location - Not sure if turning off the location helps much. You can always change the setting to use the location only while using the app. Dark Mode - This saves battery only if you are using screen on high brightness. Else its negligible saving. Staying connected to Wifi network, whenever possible for internet helps in saving battery

Background app refresh is one of the main battery killers. I turn it off as soon as I got a new iphone. I've never seen it beneficial and t just makes the phone run tasks that are not needed.

I'm getting convinced in replacing my iPhone 8 Plus with the iPhone 13 mini lol

Let’s try this method with the iPhone 12 mini please

What is the name of the keyboard you used for your desktop?

I'm getting even more convinced to switch my regular 12 with 13 mini. Thanks for the tips!

Great content!! I went from a 11pm to a 12 mini and it hurt my eyes and gave me a headache. I have a 11 now and I’m wondering if I should give the 13 mini a try again.

Adaptive refresh rate on mini/13 would make the battery so much better (assuming they keep the 60 hz refresh rate)

do you still use the iphone 13 mini? what is its battery health nowaday

background app refresh off location off if no need to use it and push mail manual thats what i do and when i get to 50 percent i slap a battery pack and normal to heavy task no problem. use wifi if available. mobile data eats battery even on pro max. got 13mini sitting 95% after almost 9months. and Avoid gaming if possible coz even apple said it isnt built for gaming. thank me after your battery stays healthy

How did you change your app icons?

Pro tip : When you play youtube audio just open in brower and destop mode to play it in screen of background

Do these tips work for any android phones?? Asking for a friend of course

Low Power mode is the biggest pro tip tho

using a 5w charger will help in keep your battery health to 100 for longer time as compared to using 20w charger...simply because because fast charge produce more heat and more heat destroy the cell bind molecules hence degrades battery storage capacity.

My Iphone 13 mini lasts a full day. I can use GPS like Strava, spotify with bluetooth earphones connected and cycle 2 hours. Later use 1.5h of youtube on good brightness and bluetooth earphones, some messager FB for another 50 minutes and battery life when I get back home after 12 hours dropped from 90 to 30%. Not too bad :D

First ❤ 💙

What saves a lot more power is… mainly using iPad and iPod and using the phone just for phone and camera. Go ahead and use power intensive camera settings. Pod casts, use your iPod. Watch media or play games, use the iPad or other tablet.

Battery Saving Tips. Turn off BlueTooth. Turn of Location Services. Turn off Backround Refresh. Turn own lower power mode and leave it on 24/7. Enable dark mode.

Nice Video :) Which App do you have to change the App Icons on the Homescreen?

I think you CAN listen to music or podcasts with minimal battery usage if you download it to your phone. I listen to podcasts overnight and I only used 6% in 8 hrs of usage.

I’ve had 6.5 hours on my second day with the phone and almost 8 hours was my max so far 👍

True tone it’s good?

do you recommend this phone today? Because he still the only small monster phone on market

how do you have the theme that appears at 0:40?

Bro no way that’s all I do is listen to podcasts at work all day and I want the 13 mini! Ugh

He is like Genoa when training in gym

put on low power mode 24/7

I bought iphone 12 today black

Just bought mine…tbh for the light users this phone can last longer than you think….for social media and location turn on…it’s quite nice

I have the mini and i keep my phone on low power mood alll day and get 8-10 hours battery life no i also use my phone all day

For me, this phone might give me 11-13 hrs of S.O.T , since I never used yt on a phone, don't like playing games, only 88 pics in my gallery, since 2019 (so camera usage eliminated), switch off my wifi + cellular data + Bluetooth since I don't like it switched on the whole time i do use Instagram for an hour in total (whole day), WhatsApp -20 mins, nd some other apps for under 5 mins. this is great for me.. I ordered this phone and would come very soon

Was that kimchi deopbab 김치덥밥 for lunch?

Is it just me or does your iPhone 13 mini's notch looks elongated then normal

Funny, he says to leave the camera app and close it after you’re done using it when mine has been open for over two years I have never closed it and my phone still last 10+ hours and I have a 14 promax and I’ve never once noticed the battery draining just because the cameras open false statement I even have a 13 mini phone as the replacement to my iPod touch 7 with the camera open at all times and the battery only drink one percent after 16 hours he’s making it sound like it trains 10+ percent if you’ve had it open for 1 minute not 16 hours lol

Am use iPhone 13 mini

Mine after 10h is 30% and I am power user.I don’t use battery saving techniques.

First with 100 others

I literally don’t understand the hype about 5g it drains so much battery and the usual consumer doesn’t even use it most of the time. Why would I need 5g for social media and WhatsApp. I don’t leave the house and the first thing I do is start downloading 1000 of files that are all super big😂

Please do the same with iPhone 12 mini.

Set your dark mode to Sun down till Sun Up..

Long story short. If you need to use your phone for more than five hours or are not wanting to plug your phone into a power source throughout the day, this phone is not for you. It’s really that simple. If you rarely use your phone and find yourself with 50% or more battery at the end of the day, than this phone is for you. If you don’t watch KZfaq, play games, go on long walks where you are playing mobile games like Pokémon go, listening to podcasts, listening to music, then you don’t need this phone. If you want to do any of those things on a fairly consistent basis without the need to be near a power source I get the new promax every single year and I’m typing this out on my new iPhone 13 Pro Max. Just my preference.

Me: brings a powerbank

Why is none of the battery test videos have the low power mode on? Isn’t it basic.

I have it 3 day and have 4 to 4.5 hours daily sot

to me, this is probably what will stop me from getting a mini device. a phone is meant to be a tool that assists you but going thru all the trouble just to save battery kinda defeats the purpose to me at least.

Real Battery Saving Tips: turn off everything and don't use it :D

Iphone mini13 Midnight + all black case + Dark Mode + OLED screen = boldest stealthy device.

The big question is: After doing all these things, how much battery gain?

Your a hardcore phone user for sure

I seriously doubt that closing the camera app is needed. If it is not open and actually in use it should not affect the battery at all.

My air tag using 20% of my iPhone 12 battery according to battery setting. WTF I never knew it would use so much battery. If I knew that I would not of gotten an air tag

4:30 wtf would you wacht youtube on a phone when you have 2 giant screens in front of you?

Maybe we should limit using our mobile device so much lol

2:43 I thought my phone glitched

Attach a MagSafe battery pack and outlast every other phone out there.

That is weird. My day I had on 5hrs on screen and still had 56% in the battery.
