As I’ve read your 13 mini stories, your love for it has echoed my own. It is, hands down, my favorite iPhone ever. But battery life has always been a concern of mine; not just with the mini, but with any phone, tablet, or computer. Subpar battery life is the quickest thing to make me dislike a gadget. I did own a 12 mini and though I loved the form factor, the battery life left a lot to be desired (not to mention the Product Red that was more salmon than red). I ended up swapping it for the 12 Pro Max, which had great battery life. But by the time I traded my 12 Pro Max in for the 13 mini, my 12 Pro Max was at 92% battery health and it was very noticeable that it was losing the stamina that I’d gotten used to from it. My 13 mini is still new enough that it is at 100% battery health, so I’m hoping that the mini will get reborn as the SE before I need to start thinking about my next iPhone. Cause it does suck that Apple may be discontinuing the mini with the 14.
