I jumped at getting the iPhone 13 mini immediately and haven’t looked back. I remember having an iPhone 5 and how much I loved the formfactor for the same reasons OP mentions.

Sure the battery sucks and the phone locks up from too many things happening sometimes, but those are perfectly fine trade offs for a phone that fits into my life and isn’t my life.

When I bought my 13 mini I also bought the new iPad mini to have a larger device for content consumption and the combo is lovely

That's a shame - I heard the 13 Mini had acceptable battery life. And for someone that doesn't make their phone their life that's especially surprising.

It's not THAT bad, it just depends on usage. Lately I have been using my phone a lot more, and just spending an hour or two endlessly scrolling in the morning it goes from fully charged to maybe 50%. If it is on standby most of the day, it will last most of the day.

That being said, I also play golf and use a Golf GPS tracker, Pokemon Go, and social media most of the day. Coming from an iPhone 11 Pro which had incredible battery life, it is a major change. BUT, the lower battery life is manageable. I have external battery packs, I prepare for these types of things. I can make it last when I need it to.
