iPhone 13 mini 13 Mini new old stock vs new SE 2022

[skiltrip]

My wife is on a 6s still and we’re ready to upgrade. She wants a smaller phone.

I got a 13 mini new/sealed on eBay. But obviously no warranty.

The other option is a new SE 2022.

Any opinions on one vs the other?

I was thinking the 13 mini was a no brainer. But no so sure without warranty and all that.

Looking for options. Thanks.

I don't think you needed another thread for this!

The other one is specifically about battery degradation sitting in a box. That one is resolved. I’ll delete it or close it if it helps.

New old stock is new. It will come with a standard manufacturer’s warranty if it hasn’t been registered.

The iPhone 13 mini is a no-brainer.

Any protection offered through Credit Card?

Normally the iPhone warranty starts on the day it is activated. Have you checked?

I'll take a NOS 13 mini in a heartbeat
