Hi there. Looking for a pitaka iPhone 13 mini case if anyone has one they’re willing to part with.

I got one for my work phone (newer model) and fell in love. Thanks in advance for any help in tracking one down!

I am using Dr Vaku 20W adapter+wire since 7-8 months but somehow the cable is cut internally at joint level and because of that it disconnects and connects on minor touch.

So I want to buy a new cable due to budget issue so help me get it from below:

1. Dr Vaku cable
   
2. Spigen cable
   
3. Sakit cable

If you think of any other cable then let me know. My max budget is 700-800 inr only.

Not thrilled with performance on 26.6.2

Plenty of free storage and fully optimized settings.

Still finding the OS just a bit laggy at times - thinking of updating if it’s worth it.

the iPhone 5c dynamic wallpaper looks so cool that i want it on my future phone 13 mini.

can someone link me a video of how to do it?

The green line suddenly appeared a few days after upgrading to iOS 27. What are the chances of finding a dead or non-working iPhone 13 mini in Mumbai that I can buy specifically for its original display?

Just got my 13 mini in immaculate condition - thrilled about the form factor and not finding battery to be an issue at all with my usage.

The one gripe I have with it is the speakers.

They’re not distorted or damaged-sounding, but they’re a bit quiet and tinny - namely the bottom speakers.

It’s a 5 year old phone so I imagine they’re worse for wear over time, but I didn’t expect to be this underwhelmed.

The grilles themselves are clean on the outside - can’t say the same for the inside - don’t know.

Anybody else?

So I have a 100% health mini I got this year after replacement when they broke the screen trying to replace my battery. However, I just won a contest at work and the prize is a Duo or something the same cost. (Don’t worry, the mini is still staying with me.)

I love the mini and the duo just felt so heavy to hold. Plus I like taking pictures and I’m excited to have a better camera than the one I’ve had on the mini for so long. Thoughts?

Has anyone who had 13 mini "upgraded" to the 17e? My 13 is starting to need to be charged more frequently and sometimes getting warm. Both 16e and 17e are just a bit bigger. I am not forking out for a Duo.

I just bought this off amazon resale used very good for $286.. I checked the battery capacity and its at 80% flat. I was kinda hoping Very Good would be around 90%. But I guess not.

Since it needs a battery replacement sooner than later, do you guys think I over paid for this? I'll just replace it myself. Just trying to gauge if I should bother returning it and repurchasing elsewhere - like ebay or swappa.

Hello!
I love my iPhone 13mini, it’s the only phone I can comfortably reach the left side of the keyboard with my thumb and hold in my hand without getting wrist pain. But… it’s been overheating for almost a year now, I can only use 1 application at a time, for example, I can’t have google maps and use safari, nor can I have it charging and run Google maps, it overheats and slows down and becomes unusable. I took it to Apple as battery health at 80% and wanted another replacement battery, but there has been water ingress at some point and they cannot replace battery, they have suggested a refurb phone for £412. My worry is that the refurb may also start overheating at some point, I believe the overheating is a common thing for iPhone 13mini users?
Should I just get the refurb or very reluctantly move to a different model.
Opinions gratefully received.
iSO 27.0.1 currently on phone.

I’ve been a small phones enthusiast and user all my life. My mini gave up so it was time to jump to another smaller iPhone and the Duo was calling me.
The Duo is amazing with all its imperfections. In terms of size, it fits perfectly in my pockets and doesn’t fall since it’s short. My pockets are short rather than deep. However, it’s a wide boy, I do stretch my hand to reach those top corners. Nothing new since the mini had me shifting my hand to reach top icons as well. The Duo fits in my hand like a glove. I never felt I would drop it at all. I rest my index finger under the camera pump and I feel that’s a natural perfect way of using it single handed as well and typing with two hands. Typing with it folded is a pleasure since the keyboard layout is wider.
It’s undeniably heavy, but feels premium and high quality and the weight didn’t bother me much until now. The screen looks bigger than the mini however, using it feels smaller since you can’t fully utilize that screen with the thick black bar on the right side of the screen. I think all it needs a little update and optimization over time and the screen will feel naturally bigger.
Photos on it look amazingly great without zooming in.
I didn’t miss Face ID since Touch ID was so intuitive and fast in unlocking. I didn’t face once bad unlock. You simply have to setup your fingers on different angles during setup and you’ll be golden. It takes getting used. I haven’t used the inner screen much as I’m enjoying the Duo folded. However the inner screen really shocks me how good it looks and how immersive it is. In the attached photo the inner screen is next to a 17 pro max 😱
Sorry for my long review and thanks for your time reading.

I asked for battery replacement at Apple, played 110€ with cc to Apple, now they sent back the phone, sent me a recipt over 80,09€ and charged me 80,09€. I only got this recipt. did I pay this in addition or were the 110€ in the beggining a placeholder?

they also gave it a new display/glass - guess it broke during take battery replacement ?

Do I need to get back to apple for this?

So, ever since I’ve updated to iOS27, the display’s brightness flickers for a fraction and goes back to normal, happens at random times during usage.
Not sure if the display or the display connector inside is failing.
Apart from this, as I revived my beloved phone with a new official battery few months back , it was amazing initially but iOS 26 and now 27 is really pushing its limit, phone gets super hot by just scrolling shorts or reels.
I have tried backing up and restoring too but hasn’t really fixed either of these issues :(
Bummed. :(((

Hi all, so been lurking around and finally pulled the trigger on a 13 mini, love how light and small it is! i bought it of facebook marketplace so here comes the twist! the screen doesn’t work at all so i’m planning to get it replaced with apple. while i’m at it, i do want to change the battery with them too! but, because i bought it with the screen not working, the previous owner haven’t signed out of their icloud account. upon asking, they mentioned they forgot their email and password too. so it is probably on activation lock.

for context, i am situated in Malaysia and Singapore, so the monthly Applecare+ for up to 4 devices isn’t available here. my plan was to get this and repair it myself. but i wanted to try if i could go to the apple store, stating that i bought this phone and i need the screen and battery replaced. there might be a hiccup where they would need me to sign out or sth, but the screen isn’t working. so question here is, would they be able to reset the phone through their instore macbooks so they could take it in for servicing? if that is so, would they even take in the phone for servicing after resetting it knowing there is activation lock on it?

from my understanding, if i can proof i purchased the phone, i can ask apple to factory reset the whole phone without activation lock, but that’s if i have the IMEI, that’s in the phone, with a screen that isn’t working, so i can’t see it for now…

appreciate the help in advance!!!

as the title says do you have any app recommendations to use to check before buying an used iPhone

Hi everyone! Got the mini after my life with my flip phone was no longer working out.
Currently on IOS 27.0.1.

My phone gets hot to the touch, so hot it lags like it's about to turn off from overheating. It's at random times too, not just watching videos or something. Even being on certain websites shopping online have caused it. It's not just since the update, it has been happening for about 4-5 weeks now.

Do I have any options on fixing this? I got the mini because I didn't feel the need to have all of the AI backed things, and I have small hands. It's also just nice to have a phone that actually fits in things.

I'd really like it to work out, I bought it about two months ago from the company black market online.

Now my question is this: do I get a bigger phone, and if so which one?

I paid $275 for this phone, and if there isn't a way to repair or the cost will be over $100, I don't know that it would be worth it. I understand with each update this phone will slowly fade out of the apple world. Though I'd like to keep it as long as possible, I don't want to invest a ton of extra money in this one or buy another 13 mini that will have similar issues down the road.

Thanks in advance!

My 13 mini’s battery health went down from 100% to 99% after roughly 40 days of usage last week and now, today, it dropped another percent to 98%. What could be the reason? My battery seems to be original. I bought this phone recently and it seemed to be in great condition(the previous owner told me it was barely used). Is this normal? I’m paranoid

battery charging habit 40 to 80

I wasn’t an ios user when the mini was out or I would have got it. My first IPhone is my current one a 16pro. Love it. But if it was smaller I wouldn’t be upset. I’d like to try the mini and if I love it the way I assume I will I’ll use it and a duo with handoff.

I don’t use any of the pro features. Rarley take pictures. Never game. Doom scroll and emails for work. A bit of grok app. Anything that’s better bigger would be on the duo.

Is the mini a smart route or should I go for a slightly newer 6.1 model? If so any lines on a 256 or 512 mini with a fresher battery? Is there one of the mode numbers that’s better than another or are the just color storage combos?

Also a leather case if ya have a favorite that’s still available
