Is the iPhone 12 Pro still worth buying in 2023?
I wanted a second screen for my YouTube recording setup, something to give me another angle. I looked at cameras and decided that I’d go for an iPhone. My main phone is a Mini and creating shorts was a little too small for me so having something with a larger display that I could also…

The biggest difference between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13
I’ve been trying out the iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Mini over the last few days and there’s one standout difference between them – FaceID. On the iPhone 13 the FaceID is noticeably faster to unlock, works from more angles and does things like works with one eye open. Size aside it might be the…

iPhone 12 Pro camera vs iPhone 13 Mini camera
I picked up a used iPhone 12 Pro to use as a second camera for my YouTube setup and I’ve been curious how it weighs up against my current daily iPhone 13 Mini. I initially thought that the 13 Mini had the edge but now I’ve done some more testing it’s the 12 Pro that…

The iPhone 12 Pro strikes a good balance between screen size and weight
I’ve been looking at picking up a used iPhone to use as part of my YouTube creator setup and when trading in my old AirPods Pro I used their value and picked up a 128GB 12 Pro. What’s immediately struck me with it is how nicely balanced it is. I skipped this generation and went…

Switching to the iPhone 13 Mini isn’t stepping down
I’ve been using my iPhone 13 Mini for almost a year and I still love how compact it is. Using it with or without a case it’s still small enough to use in one hand. I’ve seen some (mainly on YouTube) who have switched to it calling it a step down but it’s not, it’s…

Of course Apple is considering a more expensive iPhone
If there’s one thing Apple likes under Tim Cook it’s money. Their profit margins are massive and they are making more money than ever. So when I read this I was like of course Apple is going to do this. I do get concerned they have lost their way, chasing money over user experience. Too…

How durable is the iPhone 13 Mini?
I’ve been using an iPhone 13 Mini mostly case less for the last eight months and wanted to report in on what wear and tear it’s accumulated over that time. It’s been dropped several times and I’m not particular about not putting it screen down on a desk. The glass back is still in perfect…

The iPhone 13 Mini and iPad Mini setup
As you most probably know I like to experiment and switch up my gear quite often but for last 7 months my main devices have been an iPhone 13 Mini and iPad Mini 6. They’ve worked out pretty well. I enjoy using a smaller, lighter phone for carrying around and when I want a bigger…

The iPhone 13 Mini is at it’s best without a case
I’ve been using a case this weekend on my iPhone 13 Mini but I took it off to wipe it over and it’s back with no case. This phone is best without one. It keeps it’s small form factor and with the flat sides and glossy back is nice and grippy.

The best protective case for the iPhone 13 Mini
I’ve been testing a few different cases lately on the iPhone 13 Mini and I feel I’ve found the best compromise between comfort, bulk and protection to recommend what I think is the best case that offers protection whilst also being as slim as possible. The Peak Design Every day case for me is the…

The iPhone 13 Mini fan club
You’ll know if you’ve been following me for a while that I’m loving using the iPhone Mini form factor. Whilst we didn’t get an update with the 14 line up, the 12 and 13 are still great devices. I wanted to share a couple of links to places I go to read with other fans…

iPhone 13 Mini: long term review
I thought I’d write a little update on using the iPhone 13 Mini, I still get questions and see interest in this amazing little device. Coincidentally I’m starting to see a few more out in the wild, maybe it’s getting some traction finally. I think it’s always going to be a niche, just like the…

Has the iPhone 13 Mini gotten worse with iOS 16?
I’m still a devoted iPhone 13 Mini user but I’ve noticed my experience gradually getting worse since iOS 16. I’m getting more user interface (UI) glitches, a decrease in accessibility (I use the larger font and it’s getting cut off in the UI and worst of all a decrease in battery life. I’m hoping Apple…

A new iPhone 5C, yes please
This is an interesting rumour. I’d love to say goodbye to the squared off design of the current lineup and a return to the more rounded one of the 5C or 3G.

The iPhone 14 Pro camera
I enjoyed reading this write up on the iPhone 14 Pro. What a trip! In my testing I found the iPhone 14 Pro to be slightly better in low light, 48MP ProRaw is nice but not a must have and overall a nice jump up from an iPhone 11 or earlier. If you’re on a…
