Apple iPhone 13 Mini 512GB (2021)
2 reviews
The phone I received works well. However my OS keeps highlighting to me that the phone is using non Apple screen and battery. That’s fine because I bought a refurbished phone. However there are a couple of quirks that may be a result of this. For example my screen doesn’t dim automatically to suit the brightness of the environment, and it seems extra sensitive to some things and not sensitive to others. The phone also gets very hot when charging. It is still a great working phone so I am not really complaining and the delivery was very quick.
Purchased in at Phonebot.
Mini screen and great pocket size but not a fan of apple – I bought this phone (iPhone 13 mini 512gb) simply for the screen size, swapping from Android. I have been using for nearly 2 months. I find the screen big enough for everyday use, watching video clips, viewing photo's etc. and small enough to fit in your pocket easily. Battery life is fantastic for such a small battery size (2438 mAh), I find it lasts 1-2 days, I usually charge every 2nd day depending on the battery percentage left. Photos are pretty good quality but not the best. I did have trouble with calls suddenly dropping out for no reason but a software update seems to have corrected that issue to date? Apple's app to transfer data (move to ios) is terrible. The data/info transfer was really difficult, reading other forums it didn't work for many people, I finally got it to work on the 7/8th time around but it took about 18 hours to do so. Also apple make it very difficult to sync photo's, music, files etc easily (Probably works great apple to mac rather than apple to PC?). Having had both Apple & Android (this isn't the my 1st iPhone either), I much prefer Android anyday, so much simpler to add files, photos, music etc. If I was given the choice to buy again with the experience I have had over the last few months I WOULDN'T buy an iPhone ever again, so many other great brands out there that run on Android and have much better software, photo quality and more user friendly. Overall not very good value for money costing over $1600, compared to what else is on the market.
