I was upset when I found out that Apple was dropping the iPhone 13 Mini. The size has been perfectly pocketable for me. So upon hearing that news, I raced to get another only to find new ones sold out. Didn't want a refurb. Disappointment struck. I missed the boat on the 13 Mini. Today, I was able to score a new 12 Mini for a very good price. So, I plan to temporarily mothball the 13 Mini and begin to use the 12 Mini which will have a year's warranty with AppleCare. I also found an Apple Magsafe battery pack in case the 12's smaller capactiy battery doesn't last through the day. I am a fan actually of old school anyway. Now, happily, I feel that I am set in the phone department. I was feeling pushed by Apple to by a new, full sized, more expensive phone that I did not want. I feel that I have defeated the giant, and I must say (don't mention this to anyone) that I have some sense of satisfaction about that. Now I can remain an iPhone outlier for a good while, and have a iPhone that really suits my daily needs. I love most Apple products (tried the watch once and didn't work for me), but I didn't care for the giant's latest move with the Mini so I had no choice but to take tenacious and decisive action.
