The 13th generation of the iPhone, which was presented with pomp in the fall of 2021, expectedly for many did not bring any revolutionary changes with it. For example, the iPhone 13 mini has remained almost the same compact “baby” with a 5.4-inch display as last time. The main visual change was the notch cut (it became 20% smaller), plus the camera has been thoroughly improved. Otherwise, it's still the same compact iPhone with the already familiar metal rim around the case, a ceramic back panel, MagSafe magnetic mounts, and IP68 water protection.


Like the older iPhone 13 models, the mini has a flagship Super Retina XDR display with 2K resolution, HDR support and the well-proven True Tone function. According to Apple, it is now 28% brighter than the last generation. The display diagonal is modest by today's standards of 5.4", nowadays of widespread gigantism, this is a rare device that is convenient to operate with one hand. As for the hardware basis, the Apple A14 processor was replaced by the Apple A15 Bionic chip with a 6-core processor and a 4-core video core. Apple claims that it is 50% faster than its predecessor in terms of processing power and a third more efficient when it comes to gaming performance.

In the thirteenth iPhone Mini, the main camera has been significantly improved, which combines two 12 MP sensors located in the usual square block on the rear panel. The wide-angle camera sensor is larger, and the ultra-wide camera captures more light and performs better in low light. In fact, this is the same camera block that was used in the iPhone 12 Pro Maximum Thanks to this, we have the first iPhone Mini in history, which does not give in to top camera phones. DxOMark rated the mini 13's photo and video capabilities at 130 (138 for stills, 117 for video, 55 for zoom), which guaranteed the smartphone 11th place in their ranking of the best camera phones. This is slightly higher than the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and OnePlus 9 Pro.

The iPhone 13 Mini range includes versions with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage. Modification with 64 GB sent to rest. In terms of colour, there are five body colours to choose from: pink, blue and red, plus "dark night" and "shining star". All versions can work with two SIM-cards - one real and one virtual e-SIM.
