My best purchase..(iPhone 13 mini 128gb in Pink)

10 / 10

It's the best iPhone I've ever had, I love the size, because I can store it anywhere. Everything about this iPhone pleases me.. only that logically, since it's a MINI iPhone, the battery will not be as good as it might be in others.. but for such a tiny phone.. it has a very, very good battery.. the design is simply BEAUTIFUL, the camera is perfect, I am happy with the results 99% of the times.. The only thing that displeases me.. is, it has a good processor.. but this leads to a lot of overheating, to the point that my fingers sometimes get burned.. and I do not think it is something bad that I have done because.. I just bought it 2 days ago.. it is new, not used, I bought it in the official Apple store.. so I do not know if it is a product defect or if that's just how the iPhone is.. but apart from this, it's a 10/10

Pros

  • best camera
  • processor
  • OLED screen
  • extreme image quality
  • the design is beautiful
  • has certain features that only Apple provides
  • games run at 100%
  • filters from any application work perfectly

Cons

  • it's very fragile
  • they are infamous for overheating a lot
  • the charger is very fragile

The most important part I love is it is too small and feels so light in the hand. You can reach every corner of the phone while just using it with a single hand. Photography on this phone seems more like shooting on the previous ten iPhone 12 Pro Max! Battery life has improved from the previous generation iPhone 12 mini. The performance of this phone with the A15 Bionic is really super impressive! There are rumours that this is the last Mini iPhone Apple will release!

Pros

  • Small Phone 📱
  • Perfomance
  • Photography
  • MagSafe

Cons

  • No ProMotion
