Apple iPhone 13 Mini

That's good I did the same as you, forgot. So thanks for saying they might apply it after. I'll call them tomorrow

Battery is fine in mine. Depends if you spend all day messing about on a phone, perhaps not the phone for people whos life revolves around their phone

Same for me, after switching from Android the mini is the only phone I have kept for 18 Months. To see its still selling for this price pleases me, a great little phone.

If I paid the £539 without the extra 20% discount, I would definitely agree -- the problem is, there's no iPhone on the horizon due to replace it anytime soon, so it's not going to budge in price. And there are rumours about this phone being discontinued this year once the 15 series of iPhones are released, which definitely isn't going to make it any cheaper (if you want something from Apple in this size, you don't really have any other choice -- which I was after for a while).

The main reason I held out from buying this phone until now was because I was sure there would be some rumours of Apple bringing back the mini -- it didn't happen last year and it's not going to happen this year from what I've read. There are also big price hikes supposedly coming with the next generation of iPhones -- and for £435 (which is less than the price of the much inferior iPhone SE 2022), I can't really see any better deals on the horizon.

I got it for my 8 y/o and agree. Great phone, lovely to use, very snappy and probably perfect size.

If I didn’t have my Apple Watch I’d be tempted to switch from my pro max. But fortunately the watch means I rarely take the phone out whilst walking around and the bigger screen is nice when I’m using it sitting down.

Good phone for a good price but updates aren’t guaranteed after October.

Amazon price matched it yesterday and still have it in stock -- have a look on their site and pick the green version, they have 14 left by the looks of it.

They were on backorder the whole time by the looks of it, hence why they are taking so long to deliver.

You can't compare used pricing to new (even if it's pristine). Most people aren't willing to chance it. I've known people who have been scammed buying pre-owned iPhones in our area because they were bought with fraudulent credit cards that get charged back -- so Apple in turn disabled/bricked the phones the same way they would any stolen devices. For that reason alone, I wouldn't ever touch pre-owned iPhones. After 30 days, you had no recourse with retailers like CEX and they had to fight for almost a year to get their money back.

Also the difference is way bigger than just a bigger battery -- it runs a much better modem that's a lot more power efficient and a newer SOC. The battery feels about 30%-50% larger in day to day use. I've been watching eBay for the past few months and have not yet seen it below £480 used.

Yeah, looks like it. It's kind of a good thing for me, since I'll have the case and screen/camera protectors delivered long before the phone shows up (instead of having it sit in a box waiting for the accessories).

Yeah we gotta wait another 4 weeks
