I see nothing wrong with getting the two year old device. If it works
for you why not. Maybe this is your device you want to hold you over
until your next big upgrade. If the price is right and it does what
you need it to, hey make it work. I have the 12 pro max, and I see no
reason to upgrade
If I was considering a 2 year old phone, I might take a look at a refurbished
phone from a well known source like Apple.

Hi Evan:
Before you purchase you might want to at least take a look at the 13 pro model.
It's a bit larger than the mini granted, but will give you some benefits such
as lidar. If you are planning to keep the phone a while and hope to use it to

I don't like disagreeing with Sieghard, and I'm not really disagreeing, but I'd
have no problem recommending a two year old phone or even older. If the person

decision on whether the money they're saving is worth the

Hi all, on this same subject, I noticed that no one has mentioned the iPhone
12. And I have also seen on this list that people have had problems with their
iPhone 12. If someone is in the market for an iPhone should they not get an
iPhone 12 or would it matter.

Thanks Joshua, I wasn't aware of that storage limitation in the SE3.
That does make a difference in my choice.

the 13 mini goes up to at least 512 gigs.

I got a 13 pro max because of the battery life. It was much bigger
then my iPhone 8. However, the battery life is amazing. I don't miss
the home button at all.

It is just that the pro models offer LiDAR and door ID like wooden door, four
feet; wooden door, two feet. Also, the 14 Pro gives a sound when powered on and
off.

I will check the 13 Pro and 14 Pro out and definitely hold them before I

As for support, I wouldn't worry too much about it, whether you buy an iPhone
13 Mini, 13 Pro or SE third Gen, they all have the same CPU and will all be
supported the same number of years and it will only be one year less if that
than any of the iPhone 14 models. Most likely you'll be in the
It is the opposite, the iPhone SE has a 4.7 inch screen and the iPhone 13 Mini
has a 5.4 inch screen.
The reason why the Mini with it's significantly larger screen is almost not
bigger is because it doesn't need space for the home button and the bezels
around the screen are smaller.

I would recommend the iPhone 13 Mini, but before you decide I'd take a look at

iPad Mini for years. That is a point in the SE's favor.
About battery life, that is also a good point. But I'm willing to get a
bit less battery life in exchange for the smaller size.
So it looks like I'm going to be
No Chris, you didn't miss anything.
You're absolutely right.

I kind of wonder if you'd want a 13 Mini. It has no Home Button. An SE3 does
have a Home Button, but you might want more battery. Now, whether or not the

that information.

Just a couple more things Evan. Keep in mind that normally in a smaller phone
factor comes less battery life. I would say that both phones have decent
battery life, but nothing compared to the bigger phones. Of coarse, battery
life is dependent on how much the phone is used every day. The

Just to clarify some misinformation posted about the iPhone 13 Mini versus the
