Apple iPhone 13 mini im Test: Leistungsstark und ultrakompakt (2024)

FAQs

Why do people not like the iPhone 13 mini? ›

It hung in there a second year (iPhone 13 mini) before being discontinued. Bigger phones sell better and one of the main reasons is the iPhone 12 & 13 mini used the same amount of power as the normal size iPhone, but the smaller model lacked the battery size and thus capacity, and the run times were too short.

Those who prioritize a larger viewing area may find the iPhone 13 Mini's screen less than ideal. Smaller Battery Capacity: To maintain its small form factor, the iPhone 13 Mini comes with a smaller battery compared to its larger siblings.

Battery life

The phone would often last a whole day of normal usage, and that'll likely be enough for most users.

The iPhone 13 mini is a solid camera phone that does well in both well-lit and nighttime scenarios. You don't get the telephoto lens of the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, so no super zooming or fancy portraits (you can still do Portrait Mode with the wide-angle lens).

Sure, small phones have drawbacks. Their batteries are tiny and may not last a whole day if you use your phone for a lot of power-intensive stuff. That's a problem that only gets worse over time as the battery ages and can't hold a full charge like they do.

Later, analysts reported that the iPhone 13 mini sales were worse than that of the other variants. Just as with the iPhone 12 mini. By the time Apple realised that iPhone 12 mini wasn't selling well, the plans for the iPhone 13 mini were presumably set in stone.

The iPhone 13 Mini has a battery of 2,438 mAh. Video playback: Up to 19 hours. Video playback (streamed): Up to 15 hours.

If you're upgrading from another small iPhone (like the iPhone 8 or earlier), the iPhone 13 Mini won't feel tiny. In fact, it'll actually feel larger considering the 5.4-inch screen is more spacious than the 4.7-inch display on phones such as the iPhone 8, iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone 7.

You can charge your iPhone every night even if the battery isn't fully depleted. iPhone automatically stops charging when the battery is fully charged, so it's safe to keep your iPhone connected to a charger overnight. Charging resumes automatically if your battery level drops below 95 percent.

Should I charge my iPhone 13 mini to 100%? ›

Apple recommends, as do many others, that you try to keep an iPhone battery between 40 and 80 percent charged. Topping up to 100 percent isn't optimal, although it won't necessarily damage your battery, but letting it regularly run down to 0 percent can prematurely lead to a battery's demise.

On the other hand, if you've decided a small, powerful smartphone is what you absolutely need and you're deciding between the two, then the iPhone 13 mini is the obvious choice. For not much more than the iPhone 12 it offers all the benefits stated above with the bonus of a double helping of storage.

Battery & Quick-Charging: The only real drawback of the iPhone 13 mini. Even if Apple does not officially confirm it: the iPhone 13 mini has a particularly low capacity battery at 2,406 mAh.

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes).

The iPhone 13 Mini contains the same A15 bionic processor as the iPhone 13, making them identical when it comes to performance and Apple's advanced technology. All the popular iPhone 13 features are exactly the same on the smaller Mini model.

Your phone may become warm when your screen brightness increases. A lower brightness setting could help your iPhone 13 mini cool down. Go to Display & Brightness under Settings to adjust the screen brightness.
