Here we are, looking at the smallest and the least expensive of the 2021 iPhone models. The iPhone 13 Mini is the smaller version of the iPhone 13 with a lower capacity battery. Otherwise, both the models are identical in features and specifications.

Design & Build Quality

The iPhone 13 Mini is one of the smallest and lightest smartphones currently available, being 141 g in weight and measuring 64.2 x 131.5 x 7.65 mm. The iPhone 13 is heavier and bulkier at 174 g and 71.5 x 146.7 x 7.65 mm. The design of the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini looks similar to the Pro series with a flat-edged aluminium frame and similar positioning of buttons. The screen is protected by the same ceramic shield. An oleophobic coating on the front glass resists fingerprints. Coming to the differences, the aluminium frame has a matte finish, and the back surface is glossy, contrary to the Pro models. The camera platform also sports a matte finish. The notch and front camera have reduced in size, while the dual-camera system now has a diagonal placement. The front elements of the cameras are protected by sapphire crystal covers.

The phone carries an IP68 rating for ingress protection, which means it can withstand immersion in six metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are available in pink, blue, midnight, starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED colours.
