So far so good. 👍
Following up on my
post above.
Amazon delivered the Mini 13 on Saturday.
I only got to set it up on Sunday morning.
Setup was easy peasy. The SE and the 13 got along well and no hassles — apart from the usual security ball ache with banking apps. Still… nothing major.
A few things I needed to get used to and a few I miss.
I do miss Touch ID's way of my finger print instantly unlocking the phone and getting me straight in to the phone.
I find the extra swipe up
after Face ID unlocks a pain. But there it is.
So far Face ID has been excellent — I also set up my husband as an additional face — just for when I fall over or get hit by the proverbial bus. Such a lot is locked up in these devices.
The little mini is speedy as anything. (I mean, yes, not massively coming from the 2020 SE, but noticeable).
The best thing is the camera upgrade. Al things being equal, it is the main reason I'll keep the Mini 13.
I wish the Green body was a little brighter — this is akin to the Green Apple Watch… only when the light is right is it actually Green.
If the Red Mini had been in stock I would definitely have gone with a red again.
I do prefer the current design over the slippery soap bar of the previous generations and the Mini is the perfect size in my hand and pocket. Goes in my jeans pocket and nothing sticks out.
Hopefully it'll give me full use for the next 2 or so years.
