Hi everyone, Aaron here for Zollotech, and the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 13 are the latest phones from Apple that are not Pro models. And so I wanted to help you decide if you want to go with the smallest iPhone this year or go with the slightly larger non-Pro model. So I'm going to go

over all of the differences, and we'll talk about everything that's the same toward the end. But there's four major differences. Now, the easy way to distinguish the iPhone 13 versus the iPhone 12 series models is the camera module. You can see the iPhone 12 mini on the left and the iPhone 13 mini

on the right. The camera module now has diagonally placed lenses, so that's an easy way to tell the difference. Other than that, it's hard to tell the difference here over here. Now, as far as the colors go this year, they're the same on both models. And so, as you can see, this is a newer blue color. We

also have a new pink color as well. So there's a new pink color. They also have a silver, which they call Starlight. They're calling black Midnight. So all of the colors are the same, so that should not be a determining factor with these particular phones. Now, the first difference is the price.

The iPhone 13 mini comes in at $699 and goes up to $999. You have three different options for storage: 128 gigabytes, 256 gigabytes, or 512 gigabytes. With the iPhone 13, you have the

exact same storage options, but you add $100 for the overall price. So it starts at $799 and goes up to $1,099. Now, if you want to get them unlocked on both of them, you'll have to pay an additional

Thirty dollars, as that's what Apple charges on the non-pro models for an unlocked iPhone. If you get them through your carrier, they'll be the prices I stated before, and those prices are for the United States. Now, the next thing that's different is the size. Obviously, the iPhone 13 Mini is smaller; it's

similar to that of an iPhone 5 series phone, and a lot of people like the smaller size. That means everything on it is smaller, from the overall feel to it, to the weight. Where the iPhone 13 Mini is 4.97 ounces or 141 grams, the iPhone 13 is 6.14 ounces or 174 grams. So you have a larger

display and overall body on the 13. In fact, the 13 and the 13 Pro are the exact same size, but these phones are made out of aluminum and have Ceramic Shield on the front. Now, obviously the displays are a little bit different as well. On the iPhone 13 Mini, it has a 5.4-inch display,

the same size as last year. It has a 2340 by 1080 pixel resolution at 476 pixels per inch. It's the highest pixel density of any iPhone out there right now. When it comes to the iPhone 13, it's 6.1 inches measured diagonally, like the 13 Mini, but it's 2532 by 1170 with 460 pixels

per inch. So, like I said, the 13 Mini has a slightly higher pixel density. Now, with the smaller size of the 13 Mini comes a slightly smaller battery, because you just don't have the room to work with inside. You have a smaller battery at 2406 milliamp-hours, or about 200 more milliamp

hours than the 12 Mini, so it is a larger battery than last year, but it's still smaller than the 13. The 13 is 3227 milliamp-hours, and that's up almost 400 milliamp-hours over last year. So they've

increased the overall battery size because they've reduced the chipset size inside and they've actually made it much faster, but they both have the same chip inside with the same amount of RAM, the A15 Bionic with 4 gigabytes of RAM. Now, with the iPhone 13 Mini having a smaller battery,

the battery life is pretty significantly different between both of these phones. Now, I reached out to my brother who has a 13 Mini as his main phone and asked him to send me some screenshots of his battery life. He uses it full time; it's his only phone, and with his battery life, he's getting about

5 hours and 19 minutes of screen-on time, 4 hours and 52 minutes of screen-off time, and using 100% of his battery. I asked him for another day, and he has said basically the same thing: it gets him through

a day, and you'll see 100% usage with 5 hours and 39 minutes of screen-on time, 2 hours and 52 minutes of screen-off time. It's charged at night and then taken off of the charger in the morning. So, expect

about 5 and a half hours of screen-on time with regular use. It's better than last year's 12 Mini, but it's still not as good as the 13. Now again, I reached out to someone that uses a 13 full

time, and his name is Rio, on the Discord server that I have, and that's linked in the description. And again, you can see here's his screen-on time: 5 hours and 39 minutes of screen-on time, 7 minutes of screen-off time, but at this point, using about 60% of the battery life.

again, another day, five hours and eight minutes of screen on time, 18 minutes of screen off time, and about 50 to 60% of the battery. So, you can expect much better battery life on the 13 versus the 13 Mini. Expect maybe two to three hours, depending on how you're using it, maybe

even double it. It just depends how often you're using different apps. But, if you're a typical regular user, you definitely will see a much better battery life experience on the iPhone 13. Of course, you could always plug them in, and they both fast charge at about 50% in 30 minutes. But

when determining which one to buy, everything else is the same, from the forward-facing cameras to the notch they're housed in. You'll see the notch looks slightly different on the Mini, just because the notch is the same, but the screen size is different. The rear cameras are identical; they can

both record 4K 60, 4K HDR, and they're both really great phones overall. Again, everything else is the same, from the build to the Wi-Fi, to 5G with millimeter wave, and everything else. There's no

differences other than what I've already mentioned. So, when you're determining which one you should purchase, the iPhone 13 Mini or 13, it basically comes down to price, size, and battery life, and that would be the determining factors for you, or maybe the deal you can get from your carrier,

as a lot of them have deals where you can get one free. So, I know the 13 Mini is quite popular, and it's rumored that it's going away next year, but it depends, probably, how well it sells this year. So, again, the 13 Mini and 13 are both great, same processors and everything else, same RAM. The

A15 Bionic with four gigs of RAM. No other considerations really need to be made between both of them. So let me know which one would work best for you. Are you picking up a 13 Mini, a 13, or maybe you decided to go with the 13 Pro or 13 Pro Max? Or stick with your older

phone? I'd love to hear which one you're using or picking up in the comments below. If you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper, of course I'll link it in the description like I normally do. And if you haven't subscribed already, please subscribe. And if you enjoyed
