Mrs. Lucas Jones –
I love the phone. Bought it when I heard the rumors that Apple was not going to make a small size phone this go around. It’s got an incredibly clear display, easy to read in day or dark, the size is perfect for me. I personally find it easier to type on the smaller screen and was always mistyping on larger iPhones. I almost forget I have it in my pocket and it’s not heavy in my grands when using it. I was worried about reading stuff on the small screen, but it hasn’t been a problem. I think because it’s got the highest pixel density of any iPhone. Got the premium renewed and it came with 100% battery health and in perfect condition. Sure the battery doesn’t let as long and it’s missing the better camera of the newer phones, and that’s a bummer.

No es un iPhone. Producto totalmente dañado, así no quedan ganas de volver a comprar ningún otro.

In brief;
The iPhone 13 Mini is the smallest flagship on the market; this makes it the most practical phone for those who mostly use their smartphone as a communication device and little besides. A screen protector is a must. The Renewed Premium phone arrived in excellent condition and has given me no issues in six months of use. I recommend it.
In detail:
—Preamble—
I didn’t buy a cell phone until mid-2008, and didn’t buy a smartphone until early-2019. Both decisions were provoked by starting a new job. I’ve never been a heavy phone user; I receive less than twenty-five texts from actual humans a year, and maybe a phone call every other month. I only use my smartphone for calls, texts, checking email/calendar, navigation, alarm, and on occasion, checking into events or to take pictures. My app usage is limited to train tickets.
As a result, I don’t need much from my phone. I like having something fairly powerful, so it will run smoothly for as long as possible before I have to replace it. I didn’t want anything too expensive, which is why I ignored Sony’s offerings. I wanted a decent support cycle, which is why I ignored the Zenfones. I wanted something with reliable HW, which is why I didn’t go with a Pixel. I wanted it to have WiFi calling/texting. I specifically wanted something small and compact, as my main complaint about my prior smartphone was how large it was. I would have replaced it earlier, but it was an Android and since the demise of the Sony Xperia Compact line there were no US-market small Android smartphones produced by anyone. I didn’t want to make the transition to the Apple ecosystem, since this would be my one and only Apple device, so I dragged my feet even for a year after my old phone stopped voluntarily connecting to the cell network. Eventually I decided that I spend more time carrying my phone around than using it, and therefore form factor was more important than OS.
—Review—
I would never have purchased this at its original retail price, but it was definitely worth it at $450, particularly with the Amazon Renewed Premium Program. It arrived in a condition indistinguishable from new, at least to my eye. Setup was easy enough, though despite assertions otherwise the automated process of moving Android data to the Apple was not perfectly smooth and I had to make a number of adjustments after the fact. As a result of making this transition, I still run my Google apps on the iPhone – Authenticator, Calendar, Mail, and Maps in particular. I don’t plan on changing those any time soon, but it does introduce some confusion into the workflow on the phone.
For current Android users, there are some significant downsides. The loss of the ability to customize the environment is painful, even after six months. I am fairly technically capable and so appreciate the ability to make minor tweaks and adjustments to everything, and iOS constantly fights you on this. I would like my small icons back, and my ability to arrange them as I see fit. The lack of robust gesture/tap support, and limited gadget/widget customizability means you need to spend more time navigating than before. iOS’s reputation for a janky file system presentation is well deserved, it can be hard to tell where files are going or have gone. In a non-Apple environment, HEIC complicates file storage and backup, though there are workarounds. The messaging app, for who knows what reason, doesn’t have an archive option and just lists every conversation you’ve ever had in one long list on the main page, and requires an extra tap after the swipe to delete anything. There’s no easy way to skip or snooze all alarms.
All things I can put up with, though for the first month I was rather stroppy. I adapted to the UI quickly, but again I only use very few functions on the phone in my day-to-day life. I was able – with some frustration – to pair a set of Samsung Galaxy Buds, though you can only configure them through an Android device. Build quality seems excellent; however, do not take this phone out of its package unless you have a screen protector waiting for it. I was uncommonly gentle with this thing for the four days I was waiting for the protector to arrive, storing it in a pocket which had a clean cotton handkerchief padding the screen, and I -still- ended up with a significant enough scratch that it is still visible under the screen protector in direct sunlight. Don’t risk it. HW and SW performance in contrast is flawless. I agree with the common sentiment that the iOS experience is very smooth, though I may be biased on account of my previous phone being on its way out at the time of transition.
Battery life for me is probably two days and well into the third. That sounds good, perhaps, but my screen-on time is very low – I’m guessing between zero and ten minutes a day, with most of it on the low end, the only exception being during navigation. It is not unusual for multiple days to pass where my only interaction with my phone is to turn off the alarm. I would expect longer battery life under such circumstances, but I suppose that so long as it lasts all day it doesn’t really matter.
Lastly, I would say the sacrifice for the form factor was definitely worth it. I keep my phone in a cargo pocket and it is much lighter and less bulky now, especially when crouching down. 100% worth prioritizing that feature.
—Conclusion—
Like I said above, if you are like me – you are someone who doesn’t need a lot of screen real-estate, power, or extensive battery life, but still wants to have the full functionality of a smartphone for irregular use, this is probably the best choice on the market. It was worth the transition from Android and the ongoing annoyance of Apple’s eccentricities of design. I would recommend it, and will consider getting the next iPhone Mini, if Apple ever releases one.

Je suis très satisfaite. Il a vraiment l’air d’un neuf, la batterie est à 100%, aucune égratignure, je ne regrette pas mon achat. Il est petit et c’est ce que je voulais

I purchased the so-called premium condition iPhone 13 mini as I wanted to ensure myself that I had an “almost new” phone, however, the actual product that I received was completely the opposite. There were visible signs of wear on the body, the black paint near around the corners had chipped off, and there were some weird greasy imprints on the power and volume buttons that I tried to clean but did not get off. The phone looked dusty and the front speaker grill was buried under a ton of ear wax, gunk, and Heaven knows what else!
From the inside, it was even worse. The battery health was at a shocking 79%, which was comical considering the whole selling point of the “Premium” condition iPhones is their 90%+ battery health. Not to forget, the charging port was also defective, as I had to position the device in a weird way to get charged properly.
My bottom line is that a phone like this barely fits in the “acceptable” condition, let alone “premium.” It was a very disappointing experience. I am shipping this thing back as soon as I can.

Renewed Premium – I paid premium price but the battery health as opposed to claimed percentage (90+%) was only 88%.
Moreover the phone was overheating a lot.
They received return on May 28 and 2 WEEKS on there is NO update on my refund.
Amazon Renewed premium is not worth it. Bad customer service. Bad refund timeline.
Very frustrating.
Just give me my refund asap.

The iPhone 13 Mini in Midnight is sleek, elegant, and very professional-looking. It’s not a flashy color, but that’s exactly what makes it so nice – subtle, modern, and goes well with any case or outfit. It feels premium every time I pick it up.
The compact size is perfect. It fits comfortably in one hand, slips easily into any pocket, and feels much lighter compared to larger iPhones. This is the kind of phone that reminds you why small phones still matter.
Performance is smooth, and it handles everyday apps and tasks without an issue. The camera is fine for daily photos and social media, but don’t expect top-tier shots like the Pro models. The battery is limited, and with regular use I almost always need to charge it twice a day.
Overall, if you want a compact iPhone that looks classy in Midnight and works great for daily use, this is a very solid choice.

The phone arrived on the day it was predicted. It was in good condition. No scratches on the screen or body. Started right up. Nice to know that other people took good care of their phones like I have every one of mine.
There was an issue with migrating my data from my older phone to the new one. It turns out that my older phone had a newer operating system. Note to other buyers: be sure to go past the stuff about migrating your data right away with your old phone. Make sure you update the new phone to the same operating system level as your old phone. I wound up going into a store and having one of the techs poke around on the buttons until she could get the thing to upgrade. No problems after that.
It would’ve been much simpler had the Apple migration tool simply offered the opportunity to get the operating systems matched. I guess they haven’t thought of that use case yet.
The battery app reported that it could charge to 100%. That remains true two weeks later. Overall an excellent replacement for my iPhone 12 mini.
I’ll use this post as one more opportunity to tell the world that we need more small phones! I am tired of handling phones that feel like a pizza box!

Still a bit expensive for an iphone 13 mini, but really there aren’t many places to get this phone with a good return policy. i was expecting 85-90 battery health but I musta got lucky and gotten some sorta return on a brand new mini. I made sure to buy from amazon and not a 3rd party. shipped and sold by amazon.com llc only, for me. glad i did.. probably wouldn’t have gotten a brand new phone.
would highly recommend renewed premium if it comes directly from amazon.com llc
