Apple iPhone 13 mini
SmartphoneProduct Gallery
Product Overview
iPhone 13 mini is the most compact model of Apple's 2021 iPhone lineup. It is also one of the smallest premium smartphone on the market today. Sharing with the standard iPhone 13 most of its design elements and feature set, the iPhone 13 mini caters to those who want power and refinement but who also value compactness and portability.
Just like the iPhone 12 mini, the 13th-gen model has a 5.4-inch OLED display flatly placed in an aluminum chassis sandwiched in glass front and rear panels. It shares its color options with the standard iPhone 13.
In this release, Apple for once does not emphasize the performance of the A15 Bionic chip, preferring to compare it to the competition. This may be a hint that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are an incremental evolution of the 2020 models.

Reviewer score 89% (normalized by Neofiliac)Cinematic Mode simulates rack focus automatically and is shot in 1080p resolution with 30fps. Depth map is created in real-time, and an algorithm automatically decides which subject should be on focus. The video quality is good, but we don't think the edge detection is quite there yet and the blurred effect is not that good.
Pros
- Beautiful OLED screen
- Excellent performance
- Good battery life
Cons
- Small bezels
- No Night Mode

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)The iPhone 13 mini's 5.4-inch OLED display has 2,340-by-1,080-pixel resolution. It has a wide color gamut and Apple's True Tone color management. The 13 mini handles 4G and 5G; it runs iOS 15 on the new A15 processor.
Pros
- Better battery life than the iPhone 12 mini
- Sleek design
- Long battery life
Cons
- No 5G or wireless charging
- No headphone jack

Reviewer score 92% (normalized by Neofiliac)The iPhone 13 mini is built to be premium, but with a smaller body screen. It features a 5.4-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 – that means it has the highest pixels per inch figure of the entire iPhone 13 range. The phone sits comfortably in the hand, and it's easy to use with just one hand as well. Your storage options here are 128GB, 256GB or 512GB. If you want more storage than that you'll need to opt for the iPhone 13 Pro.
Pros
- Bigger screen
- Powerful processor
- Good battery life
Cons
- No 5G
- No wireless charging

Reviewer score 91% (normalized by Neofiliac)The iPhone 13 mini debuts with iOS 15, which is a pretty major update. It sports new features like tweaked notifications, Focus mode, FaceTime improvements and upgrades to many core apps. Fans of smaller handsets will love this phone, as it fits in many a pocket. But what I dislike is the lack of fast charging and biometric authentication.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Great battery life
- Fast charging
Cons
- No biometric authentication
- No headphone jack
