13 mini addict

[u/Express-Order-3237]

I think I have a serious problem with my iPhone 13 mini.
I originally had the iPhone X, then bought the 13 Pro and eventually switched to the 13 mini. After that, I upgraded to the 14 Pro, only to downgrade straight back to the 13 mini.
I thought I would eventually move on, so I bought the 15 Pro Max and, a year later, the 16 Pro.
But guess what? I still used my 13 mini more than any of them. 😂
There’s just something about this little phone. The size, the weight, how easily it fits in your hand and pocket, and the fact that you can actually use it comfortably with one hand. Every other iPhone feels like a small tablet in comparison.
Today, I bought the iPhone 18 Pro in Silver, thinking that maybe this would finally be the upgrade that makes me leave the 13 mini behind.
And now, hours later, I’m already thinking about returning the 18 Pro and selling my 16 Pro.

If it works for you, then it works for you. You don’t need the latest phone if you already have something you enjoy.

i feel this. the 13 mini is just perfect for one-handed use.

The Duo will be the replacement of the 13mini but only for rich people!

You’re gonna have to try the duo.

Why are you buying and returning 5 new phones if you’re already happy with yours?

I also enjoy the 13mini, and I liked the SEs for the small size. When Apple discontinued the 16e, I found a new one on eBay for $200. I like the 'newer' features and size, although the camera is minimal [but I have a nice Nikon, so I don't use the iPhone camera]. Might be worth exploring the 16e or the 17e?

iPhone 16e and 17e are more comparable to the regular iPhone 13/14

The only other iPhone with 5.4’ form factor is the iPhone Duo. Just don’t open it lol

13 mini to the 18 pro max…
Almost regretting the decision other than this battery life is insane. I like being able to use my phone one-handed. Maybe I should went to 18 pro first lol

I would buy one or pre buy one in an instant if it were offered again. It makes more sense than an Air.

What a waste. Buying such an expensive new phone and just saying nah, not bothered with this. Knowing how many times you’ve already done that. Obviously the mini works fine if you’re still using it, so it’s not necessary to buy a new one when you love it so much.

Kids are dying in forced labour mining graphite for the batteries.

You’re returning a phone which can’t be sold as new, it’s a complete waste. Shame on you, you are ridiculous. I’d be embarrassed posting this and I don’t even get the point of your post

i think the air 2 or the duo is going to be great for users like u and u can wait for them to release
