At that point, those iPhone Minis pretty much just love each other. After all, they are a dying breed.
Agreed, they should make love to each other.
5:35 The 12 Mini really loves the 13 Mini!
@@theofficialTBkid clingy :3
Me watching this on 12 mini
We just witness a love story of a dying echo of the phones.
i have the 13 mini and i am so much more satisfied with it compared to when i had my 11 (which i still had for 3,5 years). only switched bc of size and i will stick with my 13 mini forever. if anything, i want a flagship mini again and not an se, it's really not comparable at all.
I miss the 16:9 phones tbh. Since phone companies are trying to make their displays taller and taller like a telephone. And design cameras pointlessly bigger. It's kinda amazing how the Google Fold looks like an 16:9 phone again
Interested in a small 16:9 phone with actually usable performance? Check out Balmuda Phone
The width on 16:9 phones is dope
The 6.3 inch 16:9 phones were big af, with those bezels. Look at the Galaxy Mega. It is much much bigger even than the S24 Ultra.
@@batmanatkinson1188 If modern phones were 16:9, it wouldn't need a bigger size to fit components. Honestly, I just like the consistency. So companies stop making those iphone 5 parody looking phones
I am still using a Samsung galaxy note 7 to this day because it has a nice 16 by 9 screen which is large. I also hate that with newer phones most videos have these annoying black bars that do nothing.
Hoping that the SE 4 is a mini sized iPhone since they discontinued the mini versions
I heard it's going to be in the body of iPhone 14 so 6.1"
6.1 is much better
It's going to be in the 12-14 style body with I believe an LCD screen kinda like the XR.
@@vb7200 I heard it's going to be OLED instead of LCD
@@user-ue9sz5rj9wwell people wanting minis is literally bc not everyone likes 6.1. it's pretty big for a lot of people, especially us women! super uncomfortable
It would be cool if Apple made a limit run of smalls phones every other year.
watching this on my 12 mini. i got it about 6 months ago and i love it so much, the size is perfect, and with my usual usage habits i don’t have many issues with the battery life.
iPhone sales down 10%. Could be the 10% who wants small phones. They don't sell well, but they would still sell.
no cause there isnt much on the android end either
@@echoingdespairthe Galaxy S24 and the iphone 15 pro are the only ones holding on the compact form factor
Nah, it's because our habits with phones are changing. We don't upgrade as much as we used to and manufacturers are putting longer support timeframes on devices.
Also they release iphone 12 mini more late than iPhone 12 and 12 pro so that also crippled the sale
Ive heard before that a lot of ppl straight up didint know they even existed and wouldve bought one if they did
Hehehe I have a green 13 mini, although I will never sell it. I refuse to use large phones, and green is my favourite colour, so the green 13 mini I had to get now or never.
The mini has a weak battery and is not good for many people
@@user-ue9sz5rj9w Many people are simply addicted to smartphones and spend too much time watching screens.
I loved my 12 mini and ALMSOT got the 13 just due to the better battery and soc. The whole 12 series was plagued by bad batteries and poor 5g optimistic. So my 12 mini battery life was a stretch for what I used to for. Also I live in Florida and worked as a delivery technician for medical supply company, so I was out in the heat and use GPS a lot which not only ate the battery up on the phone because of the slow down and get extremely hot at times. That was more just an issue of the area I live in and how I used it but every phone I've had afterwards has not had that issue. That's said I would not mind picking up a 13 mini of the backup phone and just because I really enjoyed the size of that particular iPhone. The only issue I ever ran into in terms of using it was the fact that I have bigger thumbs and sometimes it would either not register or have a lot of missed inputs due to it thinking I'm hitting two things at once. Outside of that it was a pretty great product.
Just want to say, the base S23/24 and small iPhone 15/Pro are basically the same size/footprint as the Zenfone 10. Still big, but as compact as it gets nowadays
Zenfone had 68.1mm width whereas 15 Pro and S24 are 70.6mm. Also worth noting none have 1440p, but the iphone has the highest resolution at 460ppi, followed by the zenphone at 445 and s24 at 416.
@@RiqMoran And the 12/13 mini are 64.2 mm wide. That's a difference of ~4 mm to the zenphone, with the zenphone only having ~2.5 mm difference to the 15/pro and s23/24. The zenphone is closer in width to "standard" size phones than the minis. In terms of height and weight, the zenphone is identical to other standard size phones, being 1.5 cm taller and 1 oz heavier than the mini, just like the standard and pro iphones and the base galaxy s phones.
Proximity sharing is a cool feature enabled by the U1 UWB chip
I have an iPhone 13 mini, and I don't plan on giving it up anytime soon. The 6.1" iPhones are significantly larger than the iPhone 6/6s/7/8 were. 5.8" X/Xs/11 were much closer in size to those old iPhones.
Hey frokfrdk, Ive just found out your channel and started watching you a lot more. Cant believe I never found this really entertaining channel and how you dont have millions of subs. Subbed :)
25 seconds in, you switched to the 13 mini’s camera and called it a “downgrade” - it’s just overexposed, which is in your control 🤣
the mic though.
@@calyxl43 It sounds like he went from a studio mic to the phone’s mic. If the other phone’s mic actually sounds that good I should rather buy that than a professional mic haha
@@asinglefrenchfry i mean i don't see why he would go to phone mic if he has a studio mic, considering the only reason he swapped camera is because of showing the pixel phone but im not sure because usually iphone mics are actually better so
@@calyxl43That’s my thought too, usually iPhone mics are better. I don’t know why he would switch the mic either, perhaps to emphasize the effect of switching the camera
Better? Than a studio mic? I’m definitely misunderstanding the point here
Very nice video, highly appreciated your production quality
using the 12 mini (mint green colour) love it 🎉🎉
Mine is the boring white lol (neutral color because i love changing cases)
@@RideOnTimePH white phones look the best imo, I got a white phone (supposedly blue but oh well) and it looks very nice
Yes my brother used to have an S3 samsung phone and my mom also had like a samsung phone. I used to be so amazed when my brother got my mom's phone and showed me the Android beam. That brrbrrr sound when you press that beam button is so good damn got me memories
Not gonna lie you're underrated AF, don't get me wrong 18K is a lot but, for how in depth and professional you sound I'm very surprised you don't have more Subs, you remind me of bit of dankpods when he started, keep up the good work m8.
I love your voice and your accent man
i use a 12 mini and im so sad that they will be gone in some time is really sad. i love this phone because the size. this phone didnt fell out of my hand and my old phone was really big and i was dropping it couple times a week
iPhone minis were the nuts! Great video dude
been rocking a 13 mini since 2021, loving it. plan to keep it as long as I can, cause the size is the great, and i just feel burdened by a big phone, I came from a moto g7 power, which feels like a behemoth compared to this thing, but small compared to modern phones. imo, it's about the perfect size for a phone
The iPhone 12 mini microphones seems to capture a larger audio specter than the 13 mini. The sound is larger and deeper.
i used to use an iphone 13 mini in green then switched to p8p i miss the size but i like the p8p size
Dude's selfie with the Pixel 8 Pro legit looks like a deep fried meme compared to the iPhones ngl
selfie looks like an actual dslr shot on the pixel💀 can you get your eyes checked please
the iphones extremely oversaturate it making it look like a phone photo
I have green 13 mini. Still using it till today. 💚
i just traded my black 12 Mini in for a 15 Pro and at first I didn't think there was gonna be that much of a difference other than size, but I was very wrong lol. Pro Motion is way more noticeable than I thought it'd be, I also forgot what it was like to have a larger battery. I always had to charge my Mini at least once throughout the day, the 15 Pro I can get home and it'll be at 60%. The always on display is a nice plus too, I had it years ago on my Droid Ultra and it's nice to see it on an iPhone finally. I loved my Mini though, I used it for 3.5 years and I would have gone longer if Verizon wasn't running such a good deal right now. I was not excited about any of the new iPhones but after using the 15 Pro I can say it was definitely worth the upgrade.
Same here
My dad has a green 13 mini, I'm definitely snatching it after he upgrades
I daily drive a 12 mini and it’s amazing
wow when you showed the selfies... you're absolutely gorgeous
I have similar needs, using iPhone 13 mini combined with S23 Ultra. Each phone is great for specific needs.
I had to use a galaxy S8 recently because my phone was getting fixed and it was insane how much easier it was to use just because I could reach things
I got the s8 at launch. I loved it. First time I got a samsung flagship at launch. I got sick and tired of people asking if they could see my "see through" phone (because samaung poorly advertised it)
@@austinostergaard2187 see through??
@GameOver-nm2us Yeah in the marketing for the s8, samsung made it look like the phone was translucent.
I love my RED iphone 13 mini, and i will hold onto it as long as i can
Great video
I’m one of those who laments the passing of the IPhone Mini, I used a tablet or a laptop when I want to get really involved with screen use. The few times I’m forced to use my phone the Mini was OK but I wanted the 3X zoom camera so when Verizon offered me an upgrade to the 14 Pro I couldn’t refuse. I got a 800$ credit for my 2 year old 12 Mini but I still miss the light weight and easy one hand usability of my old 12 Mini. I guess you can’t have everything
You can turn the “namedrop” or the airdrop feature off so they wont share stuff between themselves anymore.
R.I.P. iPhone mini
Watching this on my 12 mini. I don't really care about the battery life, I just don't like the bigger iPhones (i came from the first gen SE and Nexus 5 which is my backup phone). It is not really too bad because older iPhones have worst battery life even when new.
Still using a pink iPhone 13 mini and I'll say it's just right for me.
6:18 FYI zenfone 10 is the same size as samsung s24 vanilla
Can you compare an iPhone XR with and iPhone XS
I actually own and use the green iPhone 13 mini.
Love my 12 MIni.
Best phone Apple has made in forever!
I have a 13 mini and plan on keeping it as long as I can. The only bad thing I have noticed is the battery life has tanked. But it charges so fast that I don't really care.
I like your hang out w/ u style just letting ur thoughts flow, stream of consciousness rather than intending to pre-lead us in any certain way - lets me absorb my personal take on the choices. Thnx also for taking the time for the quick back n forth camera quality compare - no phones were harmed due to drops, cause they weren’t chunky phablets right? 😅
No drops for these guys, any scratches were done by their previous owners. Glad you enjoyed!
I bought a $300 Samsung galaxy A54 in October 2023. Eventually start bending it in certain ways and then the charging port took a crap. I went to Walmart and spent 150 bucks on the iPhone SE 2023 and I love it other than the battery life. I want to really get the newest S24
W vid
6:40 apple went goodbye mini hello plus, just 2 old phome designs
whats the case on your iphone se 2016 btw?
I started with a 2nd hand iPhone 4, then bought a new 1st gen SE, then a new 12 Mini and that is my current phone. I don't care to use anything larger but I am afraid that train has left the station.
im using 12 mini as main and its fine battery sucks but performance feels very good
How good the pixel 8 pro I am thinking of getting one currently. I am gonna go from a samsung a53 to pixel 8/8 pro
I mean I have a samsung Exynos s23fe and that over heats to shit. Pixel is also based on that same thing so I think you should get like a 8 gen 4 chips as these are cool and are much better
@@Unknown-64209 ok
For me, with big hands, I choose iPhone 15 pro instead of max because it was smaller and I expected worst battery, now the battery goes through 5-6h of battery on one charge(my last android only did 4h)
Nothing phone 1 was
Clearly you didn't take good care of your phone's battery because I am still using a Samsung galaxy note 7 which is a 6-7 year-old android and it still keeps a good charge.
I really hope that either the SE 4 adopts a mini form factor, or that we’ll get a proper Zenfone 11 with none of that ultra crap.
I’m 6 ft2 and I own a regular iPhone 12, and I think it’s the perfect size
My 13 mini is still so good, the camera is great except the crazy oversharpening issue in low light. Battery is suck because it’s only 78% BH.
How long have you had the phone because I've been using a Samsung galaxy note 7 for about 6-7 years and the battery health is at 84%
@Noahyaboii I had this phone for 18 months, I use fast charger regularly and magsafe, so it gets really hot while charging.
@@thieninh4153 That may be the cause. i recommend a slow charger. Slower charging may take longer but will keep the battery working for a longer period of time. Also wireless charging is a heating issue in general so try to keep the phone in an air conditioned environment
OSRS music mentioned!
maybe a wierd question, but how come all your phones screens are equally scuffed? they all (iphones) have those fairly long and deep scratches did you get em like that or do they simply live rough lives in your pockets?
I bought them used like that, also my Pixel 8 Pro in the video is in perfect condition
@@frokfrdk yea the comment was more directed at the iphones, thanks for clarifying tho!
The harder the Gorilla Glass become, the more scratch prone it is. It's the physical of how strong or weak the glass is.
I love the fold's outside screen. it's the perfect size for one-handing. samsung should just cut off the top half of a galaxy fold and turn it into a phone! call it like "samsung galaxy S25 mini" or something. They used to do that with the S series so bringing it back wouldn't be out of the question.
I’d love a mini but I hike and camp a lot a want a decent sized screen for movies and a proper battery so I’m not taking a power bank with me, I still have my iPhone SE (iPhone 5 version) and absolutely love it, if and when Apple release a foldable it will be the best of both worlds although I doubt we’ll ever get back to iPhone 5 sizes, even folded.
I have the green 13mini with 256GB storage in still like-new condition
That’s a feature on iOS 17 the hold nearby to share
carriers in america dont support multiple SIM cards for the same number like in UAE, if they did every house hold would have at least one mini phone
I can’t EVEN 👀 THIS NEWER MORE UPSCALE AND UP TO DATE MODEL…that would be more evolved however more invisible for ME 😂
What launcher do you use on the pixel in start of video
Niagara Launcher
The only problem with my 12 mini is that i have to keep it on low power mode to save the battery. I can’t believe e they sacrificed a battery. It’s like they were saying “we dont want to make a mini but all you guys are asking for it so we will give you the size but with a suck battery”.
I love my 13 mini
hello from another part of the world! Cuxhaven,Germany.
We need an Iphone Pro Mini. With how small bezels are getting you can fit a lot of screen in that size. And power efficiency is also improving.
3 cameras with a small device looks stupid and takes up space
@@user-ue9sz5rj9w three camera's on the S22/23/24 looks normal so idk what ur on about
@@GameOver-nm2us Pro devices
@@user-ue9sz5rj9w yes? What's your point here
I alredy bought iPhone 15 pro After using iPhone 13 mini over 2 years. I got them next to each other and I Dont want switch for some reason.
the time on the 12 mini touches the bezel
At 14:10 i was wondering why the flooded and vlosed the stairs... But at 14:28 i realized its a stairs-shaped dam for easy maintenance access 🤯
No way you used "Sea Shanty 2" from Runescape at 19:10 l0l wooooooot (I thought i'm just flashing)
I really really hope they bring back the minis i mean fuck it increase the price, its the size that matters for me Ps going from an se to a 13 mini felt like a huge jump in size idk how yall use them big ass phones
The notch in 12 mini looks better, although it is wider, but it is not deep as the 13 mini which is more important as the side direction is already wasted.
True, I think it's better
iPhone 4/5 was the perfect size and if it had a back shaped like the galaxy s3 it’d be perfect for one handed use
SE1 and 5S are the two best small devices produced by Apple
rip zenfone and the minis frfr
i use my 12 mini for over 2 years now and see no need to upgrade battery holds a charge for up to 13 hours
Don't lie, it will not last more than nine hours without any charging at all
yeah, i miss small phones. that is why i used the 5s for a pretty long time, until app support stopped. i now have a s23, which is a pretty small phone, but alot bigger than the 5s. overall, small > big
They revived the 5S with the SE1, the best small iPhone with old designs, but since I was a previous user of the 7 Plus and before that the iPad 2, I do not like small devices unless you use them for a little while or as a device for work.
Crazy how 6.1 inch screens are considered “small” now
I am still using a behemoth galaxy note 7 to this day and it still keeps a pretty good charge!
i use dumb phone now (kyocera duraxv) and honestly never want to go back to a smartphone, but if for ever some reason i had to, im still holding on to my iphone 13 mini. (iphone 3/4 was peak size imo and the 12/13 mini are still too big)
i really like small phones i would buy iphone 12 mini but it's little expensive for me
idk why people are so surprised about the lack of small phones, no one buys them so no one wants to make them. Simple supply and demand, people just talk about having small phones on social media but then when the opportunity comes to buy them no one does.
While it is true that Apple's phones get longer official updates, I think it is important to point out that Android phones often get far longer support by means of custom roms. Once Apple's support ends then that's it, many Android devices can be kept up to date even if the manufacturer can no longer be bothered with them.
Also these days Google and Samsung give 7 years of OS updates instead of 6 with Apple.
@@Abdulrahman11799 That's a good point and so many people are locked into the mindset that only Apple provides long term software support that they are unaware that's no longer the case.
@@Abdulrahman11799 Apple can support devices with 6 or more RAM for 7 years, especially the iPhone 14 Pro series.
As an iPhone user, I wish more androids got day 1 updates though. I think Apple users take that for granted.
u need to learn about 709, hlg, 2020 colorspace to handle HDR (Dolby vision) video
The small one is like Nokia phone in the early days. It sat pefectly comfy in the hand. Very discreet, pocket size. New phones too big & thick, that's why people keep dropping them & cracking the screens.
