Dimensions and weight: in almost every point we will find great differences, but we start with the one that can be seen with the naked eye: the size. The iPhone 13 Pro is significantly larger than the iPhone 13 mini and also heavier (204 grams against 141 grams). It’s going to be quite noticeable in the hand, and it’s a clear point to opt for the mini if you prefer terminals that are easy to wield with one hand.
-
Filter: It is closely related to the previous one, because for the same design, a larger screen means a larger device. The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel
compared to the 5.4-inch mini model. With the Pro we will be able to consume multimedia content more comfortably. -
Storage and RAM: The iPhone 13 Pro offers the option of configuring it with 1 TB of storage, while the 13 mini remains at 512 GB. Regarding the RAM, it is 6 GB compared to 4 GB. This difference may be due to the need for more of memory to manage larger storage capacities, the triple rear camera with the LiDAR sensor, etc.
-
cameras: another very different point, since The iPhone 13 Pro has a 12 MP triple rear camera with a LiDAR sensor. and the 13 mini remains with a dual rear camera and no depth sensor. The additional camera on the Pro model is the telephoto lens.
-
Drums: also to be taken into account, because Apple promises up to 22 hours of video playback time with the iPhone 13 Pro which happens to be up to 5 p.m. in the case of the iPhone 13 mini.
-
Price: In case it’s not clear, the price difference is very remarkable. The iPhone 13 mini starts at 809 dollars and the iPhone 13 Pro at 1,159 dollars. More than 300 dollars difference between models that address different audiences.
iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 13 Pro, which one to buy?
Choosing the iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 13 Pro may be easier than other device decisions because the iPhone 13 mini is aimed at a very specific audience: people who prefer small cell phones that are easy to hold in one hand and easy to put in a pocket without being annoying. This is a type of user who usually does not make very “strong” use of it, such as watching a lot of multimedia content or playing games, because the battery would eventually notice it.
If the iPhone 13 mini seems too small to you and its battery is insufficient, then the iPhone 13 Pro will probably give you a better experience.
