I’ve been using the iPhone 13 Mini again since last week and now the initial indexing has taken place I’m back to figuring out what a normal day using it is like. Coming from an iPhone 13 where I didn’t even think about charging and could sometimes go two days between charges, what do I think about the swap to the iPhone 13 Mini?

Well for my use, it’s gets me though the day with between 40% and 55% left. That’s taking some photos, listening to music, some social media, messages and mails.

I’m definitely using it a bit less than the 13 but that’s intentional. I’m trying to be on my devices a bit less at the moment so it’s all good.

If I hadn’t have had a 13 or even an 11 the Mini would have been some of the longest battery life I’d had in an iPhone, I’d say for most people it’ll be fine. I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t write off the Mini just because you are concerned about potential battery life.
