Buying call

Buy the iPhone 13 mini only if size matters more than battery. It is the last 5.4-inch iPhone, with an A15 and a dual camera that still takes good daylight shots. Skip it if you hate charging midday — the small cell shows up in rundown tests — or if a compact Android or a newer SE-sized alternative fits better.
