Pros

The reviewer personally loves their iPhone 13 Mini and intends to keep it

Cons

Battery life is poor and deteriorating
Performance is significantly slowing down with age

The Apple iPhone 13 Mini, while personally cherished by its owner, is experiencing significant issues with age. Its battery life, which was never great, is now considered poor and is steadily worsening.

Furthermore, the phone's performance is notably slowing down, indicating that the device is showing its age. Despite the reviewer's personal affection for the device, other users are generally advised to consider moving on due to these declining aspects.

“it is really slowing down and the battery life is is kind of crap.”

“if you're looking for permission, like blanket permission to let go of your iPhone mini, I I will offer that.”
