The 12 series was such a good shade of white.

The white

The 12 series had such a good shade of white.

I hated it, too warm/dirty-looking. The whiter/cooler "Starlight" on the 13 was an important reason for me to upgrade.

Likely not limited to the Mini, but it feels like battery life is so much worse than on old iPhones.
My iPhone X was on 98% battery health after 3 years.

12 Mini was at 86% after 2 years. And 13 Mini now 93% after 1 year.

My usage hasn't really changed and i only need to charge once every night. So either the batteries age faster or wireless charging is significantly worse for the battery.

I recently purchased a new in box Mini 12 on eBay for the specific purpose of using a dog walking App not available for the Apple Watch. Forget putting the 14 PM in a treat bag. I fell in love with the Mini and it is now activated on a second phone line for use when a small phone works best (in pocket or purse when going out). I like the Mini so much that a few days before the Apple event when it seemed likely that the Mini would be dropped, I purchased a Mini 13 new from an Apple Store to put away for future use.

lol i need your job where i can just buy a phone to put away for the future haha

Not unusual. Did the same for the same reason but without a dog. Two small spares on hand to date. (6S refurbished, 12 mini and 13mini).

I did it too. A step removed from the ever present Apple Upgrade matrix.

That’s quite unusual lol. Most people don’t spend hundreds of dollars on a phone to let it just sit in a drawer lol

Health considerations and isolation require having spare on hand at all Times. 6S a fluke free replacement after sending in for yet another battery replacement two years ago. iPhone 13 mini updated the 12 mini and last crack at the cat.

You'd be surprised at how many people keep back up phones. I've always kept one since I cancelled my landline years ago.

Agreed.. I traded in my X for my 15PM and I'm looking to pickup an Apple refurbished 13 mini as a backup..
