iPhone 13 mini: availability and price

Since the iPhone 13 mini was released several years ago, very few brand-new handsets will be available. However, you can easily get a great deal on a refurbished iPhone 13 mini, with monthly prices from around £550, including the cost of your calls and data.

How good is the iPhone 13 mini's display?

The iPhone 13 mini provides all the power and technology included in the iPhone 13, just in a smaller handset.

The iPhone 13 mini has a 5.4-inch super retina XDR display. It includes several impressive display features, including True Tone, Haptic Touch, and a max HDR brightness of 1200 nits. This powerful little screen is protected by Apple's exclusive ceramic shield front, which offers industry-leading water resistance.

The iPhone 13 mini is available in five colours: pink, blue, midnight, starlight, and product red.

How good is the iPhone 13 mini's camera?

The iPhone 13 mini doesn't sacrifice anything when it comes to its dual-camera setup. It has the same wide and ultra-wide cameras as the iPhone 13, powered by the same impressive A15 Bionic chip.

The iPhone 13 mini's main camera is a 12MP wide camera with an f1.6 aperture that gathers 47% more light so that you'll always capture rich colours and great detail whenever you snap a pic. It has a 26mm focal length, a seven-element lens and 100% Focus Pixels.

The iPhone 13 mini also has a 12MP ultra-wide camera, which captures more detail in landscapes and group photos.

It has a faster sensor than the 12 mini, and an f2/4 aperture that captures more light which brings depth and detail to the dark areas of your photos with less noise. It has a 13mm focal length and a brilliant 120 degree field of view so you'll be able to capture cool and creative photos.

How good is the iPhone 13 mini for video?

Like the main iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 mini includes Apple's video tool, cinematic mode. This means that, despite its smaller size, you won't have to sacrifice your artistic vision when filming.

Cinematic mode allows you to change focus points and create stunning, professional-looking footage all on your iPhone.

How long does the iPhone 13 mini battery last?

The iPhone 13 mini provides 1.5 hours longer battery life than the iPhone 12 mini, giving you impressive all-day battery life.

What is the difference between the iPhone 13 mini and the 12 mini?

Not a great deal on first look, but there are some improvements to be found.

Both sport a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR display and an overall similar design. But the iPhone 13 mini has a better camera with features like Cinematic Mode and Photographic Styles - previously found only on Pro iPhones.

The iPhone 13 mini also boasts a better battery capacity – you’ll get around 1.5 hours more than with the iPhone 12 mini. And don’t forget the new A15 chip gives you more processing power.

However, the iPhone 12 mini has been discontinued for some time so new or refurbished handsets are more difficult to find.

iPhone 13 mini contract options

There are still a few good iPhone 13 mini deals available for you to compare, including those with no upfront cost and unlimited data.

Can I get the iPhone 13 mini with poor credit?

Most UK networks will require a credit check for the latest iPhones. So it might be difficult to pick up the iPhone 13 mini without one.

If you’re concerned about your credit rating, you may be better suited to an older iPhone model, or even a no-commitment SIM only deal.
