Description

‣ New: The Refurbished Mobile Phones have now arrived at Skroutz! See all the refurbished iPhones at the best prices!

Super Retina XDR OLED display

New high-contrast screen for even more realistic black color and 28% greater brightness while also being more energy efficient.

Improved battery

Thanks to the new A15 Bionic processor and the larger battery capacity, the operating time has increased by 1.5 hours compared to the previous model.

A15 Bionic

The new Apple chip features 6 cores, a 5-core GPU for 50% faster graphics, advanced image processing, a high-speed Neural Engine, and even better security for personal data, such as Face ID, contacts, and more.

Superfast Wireless with 5G

Now you can download huge files on the go or stream high-quality HDR movies without lag using 5G technology. The iPhone has more 5G bands than any other smartphone, so you get 5G in more places. And all that speed opens up amazing possibilities for the future of apps. Plus, when your iPhone doesn't need 5G speeds, it automatically uses LTE to save battery life.

Night Mode

Night Mode comes to the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras, giving you the ability to take better low-light shots than ever before. Additionally, the wide camera receives 2.2x more light, for greater detail and clarity day or night.

Smart HDR 4

Using the power of the Neural Engine, Smart HDR 4 makes unique adjustments to each person in a photo. It appropriately adjusts the contrast, lighting, and skin tones to make everyone look even better.

Gaming

The refresh rate reaching 120Hz, combined with the performance of the new 5-core GPU in the A15 Bionic processor, makes gaming enjoyable for the most demanding gamer.

MagSafe

With MagSafe, there is support for magnetic accessories, improving the wireless charging process and allowing MagSafe chargers as well as other magnetic accessories like cases to easily align and connect to the back of the phone.

Package contents

The packaging does not include headphones and a charger, but only a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging your iPhone. This reduces the box size, resulting in more devices per shipment and a reduction in the energy spent on transporting them. Additionally, this year Apple removed the plastic wrap from the packaging, avoiding the use of 600 tons of plastic.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    For the first time, I bought an iPhone second-hand for $450 and I am absolutely satisfied with one of the most beautiful and fast mobile phones I could have. Amazing.

    This review is about colour: Green, memory: 4/128GB

    A very exceptional product that is easy to handle with one hand based on a photo. It has more colors than Xiaomi, but less clarity and difficult typing compared to the Google keyboard.

    This review is about colour: Green, memory: 4/128GB

    First time iPhone user and long-time Android user. Coming from a Oneplus 6T, there were two main reasons for purchasing this specific iPhone: 1) Camera/video 2) size. I had one concern regarding battery life. Before I mention anything else, my usage profile is 5-7 Screen On Time per day, I do everything with my phone except for games*.

    (+) Indeed, Apple justifies the selling price to a great extent. Both in terms of functionality, build quality, and in terms of video and photo quality, you immediately notice the difference. I should note here that, for example, Oneplus with oxygen OS did a very good job that has a lot to envy. However, the difference is evident in functions such as Airdrop, where it gives the ability for direct transfer of photos/videos between iPhone users.

    After that, I don't have much to comment on the positives as they are somewhat known. It has very good sound, an exceptional screen (+brightness). As for the size, it is just right and weighs only 141g.

    (-) On the negative side, I cannot fail to comment on Apple's glitches. For example, I cannot customize the lock screen. Due to the icons, however, the camera or flashlight is often accidentally activated. It may indeed be a detail, but in general, Apple's policy to have such a clean and simple operating system ultimately limits you.

    (Battery) Pay attention to my first comment. 5-7 SOT (screen on time) and not games. I charge it to around 85%-20% and get an average of 5 hours SOT. That is, a full charge gives 6+ hours of screen time. However, the 6+ hours are in no way referring to days with continuous use of 5G and high nits brightness. It depends heavily on usage. In conclusion, due to its size, it charges very quickly. I find it a huge advantage compared to the iPhone 13.

    iPhone 13 mini 256GB/4GB (former owner of iPhone 5s, 6s, 7 Plus, 8 & 8 Plus, and XS). Objectively, it's a pocket dynamite. It's slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 in height by 4-5 millimeters and a little lighter by about 10 grams.
    The camera is fantastic (a significant upgrade from the XS), both the regular (1x) and the ultra-wide (0.5x), with the former making a noticeable difference in night shots, thanks to the much lower f/s resulting in stunning photos with night mode! I don't miss the Zoom (2x) that I had on the XS and plus models at all. Both the lens and the updated camera software help you capture cinematic shots from the smallest flagship on the market in 2021.
    There's a significant upgrade in the SCREEN, which is exceptionally bright even when hit by the sun. Compared to the XS screen (5.8"), I don't notice a tremendous difference in size. It's undoubtedly smaller, but as a result, the difference between 5.8 and 5.4 is almost imperceptible, and it doesn't bother me at all.
    The SPEAKER is very powerful and crystal clear, with the honest bass that Apple devices have always had. However, all of this is more or less expected when we're talking about the latest and greatest from Apple in mobile phones.
    What surprised me was the BATTERY. With an 80-20 charge (i.e., discharging the battery to 20% and charging it up to 80%, which means that 40% remains unused), which I always did with my devices, I would almost make it until late afternoon. Practically, in 8, at most 9 hours from 80%, I was looking for a socket. With the 13 mini and an 80-20 charge, I easily get about 14 hours with the same usage (calls, photos, quite a bit of social media, YouTube, and 2-3 hours of radio with connected AirPods). I believe that for use on a trip with a 100-0 charge, it easily lasts more than a day. It's definitely a significant upgrade in the processor and battery. Also, if you buy Apple's 20W Type C charger, the phone charges from 20% to 80% in about 25 minutes!!
    As for the PROCESSOR and RAM, we don't need to say much; all iPhones have hardware capable of flying (!!) for at least 5 years, in combination with updates.
    It's undoubtedly very fast and never lags like all of my previous phones from this particular company, so I don't consider it a fact.
    The PRICE (speaking entirely subjectively!!!), for someone who wants a small powerhouse in their pocket, with flagship features and support with software updates for at least 5 years, plus the resale value of Apple devices, personally, I consider it impeccable.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    The mobile phone is excellent and doesn't need recommendations. The size is subjective and for me, it's perfect because I have it with me all day due to work and it's convenient because I have one hand free. The only negative is obviously the battery, which when its performance starts to drop, it will be annoying, but we have a long way ahead of us (I had the iPhone 8 and with 87% battery health, I charged it 2-3 times a day). Such a large capacity is somewhat unnecessary, but if someone wants to buy the next model with a better battery, they will sell it more easily and for more money.

    First time using an iPhone and I can confidently say it's a fantastic device. Tired of large and cumbersome phones that require two hands, I switched to something smaller. It's high quality and does everything very well. The biggest improvement from last year's 12 mini is the battery. It lasts me a full 24 hours with 4 to 4.5 hours of screen on time. Impressive management for such a small battery. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something smaller that can easily be used with one hand and doesn't require a bag or banana to fit inside. Fits comfortably in your pocket.

With the 13 mini and an 80-20 charge, I easily get about 14 hours with the same usage (calls, photos, quite a bit of social media, YouTube, and 2-3 hours of radio with connected AirPods). I believe that for use on a trip with a 100-0 charge, it easily lasts more than a day. It's definitely a significant upgrade in the processor and battery. Also, if you buy Apple's 20W Type C charger, the phone charges from 20% to 80% in about 25 minutes!!
    As for the PROCESSOR and RAM, we don't need to say much; all iPhones have hardware capable of flying (!!) for at least 5 years, in combination with updates.
    It's undoubtedly very fast and never lags like all of my previous phones from this particular company, so I don't consider it a fact.
    The PRICE (speaking entirely subjectively!!!), for someone who wants a small powerhouse in their pocket, with flagship features and support with software updates for at least 5 years, plus the resale value of Apple devices, personally, I consider it impeccable.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    The mobile phone is excellent and doesn't need recommendations. The size is subjective and for me, it's perfect because I have it with me all day due to work and it's convenient because I have one hand free. The only negative is obviously the battery, which when its performance starts to drop, it will be annoying, but we have a long way ahead of us (I had the iPhone 8 and with 87% battery health, I charged it 2-3 times a day). Such a large capacity is somewhat unnecessary, but if someone wants to buy the next model with a better battery, they will sell it more easily and for more money.

    First time using an iPhone and I can confidently say it's a fantastic device. Tired of large and cumbersome phones that require two hands, I switched to something smaller. It's high quality and does everything very well. The biggest improvement from last year's 12 mini is the battery. It lasts me a full 24 hours with 4 to 4.5 hours of screen on time. Impressive management for such a small battery. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something smaller that can easily be used with one hand and doesn't require a bag or banana to fit inside. Fits comfortably in your pocket.

  • For the first time, I bought an iPhone second-hand for $450 and I am absolutely satisfied with one of the most beautiful and fast mobile phones I could have. Amazing.

  • A very exceptional product that is easy to handle with one hand based on a photo. It has more colors than Xiaomi, but less clarity and difficult typing compared to the Google keyboard.

  • First time iPhone user and long-time Android user. Coming from a Oneplus 6T, there were two main reasons for purchasing this specific iPhone: 1) Camera/video 2) size. I had one concern regarding battery life. Before I mention anything else, my usage profile is 5-7 Screen On Time per day, I do everything with my phone except for games*.

    (+) Indeed, Apple justifies the selling price to a great extent. Both in terms of functionality, build quality, and in terms of video and photo quality, you immediately notice the difference. I should note here that, for example, Oneplus with oxygen OS did a very good job that has a lot to envy. However, the difference is evident in functions such as Airdrop, where it gives the ability for direct transfer of photos/videos between iPhone users.

    After that, I don't have much to comment on the positives as they are somewhat known. It has very good sound, an exceptional screen (+brightness). As for the size, it is just right and weighs only 141g.

    (-) On the negative side, I cannot fail to comment on Apple's glitches. For example, I cannot customize the lock screen. Due to the icons, however, the camera or flashlight is often accidentally activated. It may indeed be a detail, but in general, Apple's policy to have such a clean and simple operating system ultimately limits you.

    (Battery) Pay attention to my first comment. 5-7 SOT (screen on time) and not games. I charge it to around 85%-20% and get an average of 5 hours SOT. That is, a full charge gives 6+ hours of screen time. However, the 6+ hours are in no way referring to days with continuous use of 5G and high nits brightness. It depends heavily on usage. In conclusion, due to its size, it charges very quickly. I find it a huge advantage compared to the iPhone 13.

  • iPhone 13 mini 256GB/4GB (former owner of iPhone 5s, 6s, 7 Plus, 8 & 8 Plus, and XS). Objectively, it's a pocket dynamite. It's slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 in height by 4-5 millimeters and a little lighter by about 10 grams.
    The camera is fantastic (a significant upgrade from the XS), both the regular (1x) and the ultra-wide (0.5x), with the former making a noticeable difference in night shots, thanks to the much lower f/s resulting in stunning photos with night mode! I don't miss the Zoom (2x) that I had on the XS and plus models at all. Both the lens and the updated camera software help you capture cinematic shots from the smallest flagship on the market in 2021.
    There's a significant upgrade in the SCREEN, which is exceptionally bright even when hit by the sun. Compared to the XS screen (5.8"), I don't notice a tremendous difference in size. It's undoubtedly smaller, but as a result, the difference between 5.8 and 5.4 is almost imperceptible, and it doesn't bother me at all.
    The SPEAKER is very powerful and crystal clear, with the honest bass that Apple devices have always had. However, all of this is more or less expected when we're talking about the latest and greatest from Apple in mobile phones.
    What surprised me was the BATTERY. With an 80-20 charge (i.e., discharging the battery to 20% and charging it up to 80%, which means that 40% remains unused), which I always did with my devices, I would almost make it until late afternoon. Practically, in 8, at most 9 hours from 80%, I was looking for a socket. With the 13 mini and an 80-20 charge, I easily get about 14 hours with the same usage (calls, photos, quite a bit of social media, YouTube, and 2-3 hours of radio with connected AirPods). I believe that for use on a trip with a 100-0 charge, it easily lasts more than a day. It's definitely a significant upgrade in the processor and battery. Also, if you buy Apple's 20W Type C charger, the phone charges from 20% to 80% in about 25 minutes!!
    As for the PROCESSOR and RAM, we don't need to say much; all iPhones have hardware capable of flying (!!) for at least 5 years, in combination with updates.
    It's undoubtedly very fast and never lags like all of my previous phones from this particular company, so I don't consider it a fact.
    The PRICE (speaking entirely subjectively!!!), for someone who wants a small powerhouse in their pocket, with flagship features and support with software updates for at least 5 years, plus the resale value of Apple devices, personally, I consider it impeccable.
