Features of the iPhone 13 Mini

• A15 Bionic chipset

  Punchy and intelligent, the A15 Bionic CPU is what powers the new camera features, racy browsing speeds and Apple’s Secure Enclave privacy set up. From processing to graphics, this chip is especially fast. It works so efficiently that the phone’s battery life has been extended by up to 90 minutes, compared to the iPhone 12 Mini.

• Design

  Essentially, Apple has used the same design for the 13 Mini as they did for the 12 Mini. At first glance, nothing has changed aside from the expanded colour palette which now includes blue, pink, Midnight (black), Starlight (gold/silver) and red. The edges are still flat, there’s a tough Ceramic Shield front and the frame is made from aluminium. Most features are in their familiar spots, though the dual rear cameras are now in a diagonal arrangement, rather than a vertical one.

• Display

  The 13 Mini has a display that is 28% brighter than previous models - according to Apple. 476 pixels per inch and 2340x1080 resolution make for a detailed screen and this is boosted with 1200 nits of brightness. You’ll also get Apple’s Wide Colour feature for brighter shades and True Tone, a technology that works to match the display's hues with any ambient lighting. Finally, Haptic Touch will give your finger a little vibration to acknowledge any longer presses.

• Connectivity

  This is probably one of the smallest smartphones to offer 5G connectivity, it also has Wi-Fi, NFC, 5.0 Bluetooth and GPS on board. Using 5G, your experience of streaming or downloading content is speeded up hugely, but you can also join up to multiplayer games without experiencing any lag. 5G can drain the battery faster than other networks, so when you aren’t using it switch over to the 13 Mini’s Smart Data mode. This slows down the processor during quiet times and saves power.

• Storage

  Apple has dropped its 64GB storage so this tiny handset has hefty 128GB, 256GB or 512GB options. The iPhone 13 Mini cost goes up for higher storage models, but you can always save your chunky 4K video files to a cloud service if you want to keep your expenditure down.

• Battery life

  Compared to the iPhone 12 mini, Apple say the iPhone 13 mini will deliver 90 minutes more battery life. People who stream regularly throughout the day can expect their phone to last around 10 hours between power-ups. If you tend to browse, listen to music and chat, that time should extend to between 13 and 17 hours.

• TrueDepth Camera

  The entire photographic system has been changed for the 13 series. A major update is the dual-lens rear camera which includes one 12MP Wide and one 12MP Ultra-Wide sensor. The wide camera can let in 47% more light than previously, for greater contrast and clearer shots. The ultra-wide lens also has an enhanced aperture, allowing it to capture better images in low-light conditions.

• Cinematic Mode

  This feature moves the camera's focus during video recordings, seamlessly shifting from one focal point to another, creating a range of artistic effects. You can blur the background to make your subject pop and play with depth to produce more interesting footage.

• Smart HDR 4

  Take a group photo and the Smart HDR 4 software will pick out up to four separate faces then optimise the tone, lighting and contrast for each.
