Editorial report
Apple iPhone 13 mini 4 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet
The iPhone 13 mini suits buyers who want a small, light phone without giving up a sharp OLED display. Its main trade-off is the 2438 mAh battery, among the smallest of its time; 15 W wireless charging is an unusually strong feature, but it does not change the limited capacity.
The 141 g body surrounds a 5.4″ display with 476 ppi and up to 1200 nits. Pixel density is among the best, while brightness beats most phones of its time. HDR10, Dolby Vision and Ceramic Shield add to the display package. Its 60 Hz refresh rate, however, is among the weakest. The Apple A15 Bionic reaches an AnTuTu score of 1,250,240, among the best results of its time. This configuration has 4 GB / 128 GB, while the phone is sold from 4 GB / 128 GB to 4 GB / 512 GB.
The main camera pairs an f/1.6 aperture with optical stabilization and 4K recording. The camera setup is better than most of its time, although the main camera’s 12 MP are lower than those of most phones. Connectivity is among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, eSIM, NFC and multiple navigation systems.
With an overall NeoScore of 5.9, the iPhone 13 mini is best suited to buyers who prioritize compact size, display quality, camera features and connectivity over battery capacity.
