I'm thinking of upgrading from my iPhone 12 mini to a refurbished iPhone 13 mini (with a new battery).

Is this worthwhile in your experience? I'm hoping for a year's extra life (perhaps until August 2028?) before it's not SW upgradable, and better battery life.

I can't face getting an iPhone 17, or 16 for than matter, just too large and too heavy for me.
 
Is this worthwhile in your experience?
Sure.. if it were me, the price difference between the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini to offset the purchase is $150 or less, e.g. ($13mini buy) - ($12mini sale) < $150.
 
I'll go for it, the 13 mini will see me through another 2-3 years.

I live in hope that someone will release a smaller, lighter phone in the future, I'd even switch to Android if I have to.
