The price of the 14 will increase to match inflation, just like their MacBook lineup, whereas the 13’s pricing will remain as is. If you want a 13 just get one as soon as you can as there is no point in waiting unless you wish to pay extra for a 14.
I agree with you but the prices may drop for the iPhone 13 or Apple may decide to discontinue the lineup from its store once the iPhone 14 is released.

That’s possible but unlikely. I think they will still have a substantial stockpile to be sold post the release of the 14. The 13 and 14 are basically the same phone so they won’t increase the price of the 14 and reduce the price of the 13. If I were a betting man, I would place money on the 13 lineup remaining at the same price. The M1 MacBooks, both Airs and Pros, haven’t budged an inch in pricing despite the M2. If you want something new, you will just have to pay more.

I made some searches about iPhone 14 Mini...


Don't know if it's more true then the rumours here....

But if it has any truth in it, I have a colour problem, gold or black?
iPhone 14 Mini.....I love you already 🥰
 
Lower resolution on the SE models vs the mini’s. Simple.

Adjust the system font then all apps will follow unless they have their own individual setting.

I've tried that on the Mini and even one bump up in the system font size feels too cramped in most apps to me. I'm probably way too picky, though.

13 Mini in green is on its way, ordered through a retail store instead of from Apple since it was cheaper there. Hope I don't have to wait too long.

You won’t be disappointed. It’s a gorgeous phone and it’ll last you many years. I really want to upgrade my 12 Mini to a 13 Mini but cannot justify the incremental upgrade. If I did upgrade, Green would be my colour of choice too.
 
So… today upgraded from an iPhone SE 2020 to a Green iPhone 13 Mini.

Long story short: The battery went down hill fast — a warning popped up under Settings say take it to an Apple store. They wanted £49 to replace the battery, but the Apple rep suggested I talk to Amazon (who I bought it from in 2020)

The iPhone SE is just under 2 months under 2 years old and Amazon, by way of a replacement offered me a deal on the 128GB 13 Mini I could not refuse.

Yeah, I know the new 14 is out soon, but heh.

Delivery on Saturday. 👍

Quick kudos to Distil, I decided I wanted to try a wallet, Distil made a MagSafe one that held more than apple with a cool tab to get the cards out easy. They recently redesigned and the magnet is super strong and the mechanism worked great, it will hold 4 cards but for now I’m doing 3 and a twenty which makes it easy to pull out without removing the case from your phone. I’ll probably just put it in my pocket instead of having it on the phone all the time but nice that either is an option….. anyway, recommended if you ever decide to give up the fat wallet, it’s very nice leather, comes in brown, navy and black

I have both 13 Pro Max and mini and alternate between the 2. Love them both but always miss the one I'm not using! 3rd world problems huh?!
It really does matter how you use your phone, lots of scenarios where bigger is better but in my case 90% of the time smaller is better, ive been very pleased with the photos, took this one the other day while I was in Greenville, looks great to me

Man it was good… kind of a splurge with my daughter, it’s a place called halls and they had some kind of dry aged ribeye, one of the best I’ve tasted… but it’s mostly for the super rich, that tab was 200 for two and we split the steak haha 😂
Yes, Halls is great. If you get to Charleston try their restaurant there as well. Super nice, great fun, great atmosphere.

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.

I LOVE that green! If I wasn’t so hung up on the pink, I probably would’ve picked that. I love it with the various brown leather cases - looks so sharp!
 
Picked up a 13 mini to replace my 12 pro last week. Have to say I'm more than satisfied with it. Relieved to actually have a phone thats usable with one hand (my hands are also on the smaller side).

The only advantage to not waiting for what would be a $100 price drop is I basically paid $50 for the phone through Apple trade in. Both models are 256gb - received $550 for the 12 Pro and then a $200 rebate from T-Mobile. Not sure what those numbers will look like after the price drops assuming the trade in value decreases and if the carrier still offers a promo on the 13 lineup.
 
Love the green one. I currently am rocking the Midnight 13 mini but thought about buying a green mini to keep on ice since the future of the mini series seems uncertain.

Man that first picture reminds me the restaurant that Viktor Maitlyn dined at where Axle Foley ambushed him with questions lol. Nice pic.

The real challenge with the 12/13 series regular and mini phones is the damn solar flar when taking pics near or close to the sunlight.
