Well it won’t last forever at £359 mate
The phone in general or these refurbs?
In general
They were £700 phones
not as good as the more expensive ones like the 13
Pristine, which is out of stock is almost as much as buying a new 13 mini..
Good condition and £349 are both in the title
I'm not criticising your title. Just that the cost of something that you'll be happy with is almost as much as the newer model in new condition.
It's a risk we all take with these kinds of sellers i guess, some may be happy with a used phone at £200 odd quid less than when it was new
Hello buddy and good morning...
My mother is looking for a 12... iphone ;))
What £££ is it gonna cost doesn't matter used but battery I would like 85% at least ...
We all know u have skills so I'm coming to you to help me out ... mum said thanks BTW
Where have you looked so far?
tell your mam she's welcome
I tried to have a Google but my mum said ur the man to cut it... she said I lack no ability hahahaha
I haven't got much time right now, but i'd point you to music magpie ebay, handtec ebay, and loop mobile ebay, they generally have the best prices
As she put me down I will get her right on it hahahhahahaha
Main Camera on iPhone looks to be better...
Plus it's really good size phone. Defo worth it sub £400
Am using it constantly as a sat nav at work, then messing about at night and be4 i plug it in its still 15/20% battery left so not bad
I’ve had my mini since release. In the last 10 days I have about 6hr 19min screen on time. Top 5 apps in safari, GMaps, camera, YT Music and Amazon. By mid afternoon I’m usually about 25% so top it up to 50 and I’m good till night. The battery capacity is not ideal but I wouldn’t give up this phone size for anything. Total one handedness without hand cramps is great. Wish there was something like this with Android.
Totally with you on android small phones. Definitely a space for one.
iPhone offers reasonable stability in its software. But not reasonable in innovation.
Android offers all guns blazing hot wheeled phones. But integration of apps & operating systems, third party firmware updates are hit and miss. - I use Samsung tab s2. And an iPhone se;1st generation.
All top apps for media consumption work for my needs. By the way, I use it as a phone. And as a tablet. Not a gaming machine not a big cinematic experience gadget. It’s good. But, after 6 years - I am looking forward to an innovation, wireless battery sounds great. 5g and fast charge come second in my list of innovation.
I’d second this. Smaller size does mean less battery, but it’s a worthwhile trade off for me. Excellent phone, can’t see why I’d upgrade unless this one breaks or they end support.
Indeed, and it isn't doing too well, the wonderful world of hotukdeals
I have gone from many years of Android phones to a iPhone 13 mini, absolutely love it, so smooth and not like those clunky Android phones, hopefully this iPhone should last for a fair few years, everything on the iPhone just works so well.
I get a full day out of mine but I don’t mind charging it for 20 mins if I hammer it. The size is the selling point, real one handed use! Love it
Also I think the battery life is great, I don't think I'ev ever needed to charge it from morning til night, sometimes use it pretty heavily - e.g sat nav on for several years.
For context, compared to latest normal 12 or 13 it's obviously worse off, however if you coming from the likes of the older older form factor with bezels (6S, 7, 8 or any of the newer SE with the 4'7 screen) the 12 Mini battery for me is better than any of those.
