Form factor more important to me than latest/greatest phone. I don't want to carry an iPad sized phone around. When the "bigger is better" fad fades, I'll have newer options to consider. Today, the 13 mini is the only upgrade option from my SE that feels right. But check battery health on whatever you buy used. It's not crazy expensive but better to find one that is >90% health or you will be charging your phone multiple times throughout the day.

I bought this used apple iPhone 13 mini in June of 2026. I knew that the battery life is not the greatest but it's good enough for my use and I'm completely satisfied. I wanted a small phone that would fit comfortably in my pocket. I use it mainly to talk or text to stay in touch and just light web use. I also use the maps with Apple Car Play while plugged into a charger. I wish Apple would make a new version of the mini for my use case or maybe some Android phone maker would make a smaller pocketable phone.
Everything works, and the product arrived in the mint condition it was described. Still totally satisfied, one month in.
Great phone!
A good upgrade for a heavily used iPhone 12 mini with limited storage.
Exactly what I was looking for
Excellent value.
Great phone at a great value.
Great phone
Exactly what we wanted and exactly as described.
The latest (but hopefully not last) small iPhone. Honestly, anything larger than this feels too large to me. I am a light user, so the lower battery life is not a deal-breaker. Even in 2025 this iPhone is more than fast & capable enough for me.
Arrived quickly and works as described. Thank you very much!
I don’t work for Swappa.
Came in better condition than expected. Swappa and the seller were upfront about the battery. It does not last a long time. I can go about 12 hours without charging it so far. just because i dont want it to die. But still impressed with the phone itself. love the size. its nice not having a brick in my pocket
Quality phone. Love the mini vs having such a large phone. Perfect for our daughter who is driving soon but also has limitations on access to social media and the web.
Apple iPhone 13 Mini
Swell very shiny. Was what I asked for.
This was exactly what we were looking for and it made a family member very happy to find a cable device in a smaller profile. The device looks and functions as expected. Maybe manufacturers should keep these as an option for consumers, rather than continuing to increase size on models.
Very happy with my purchase and experience
Going from a large phone to the mini is pretty awesome. The small size makes it easy to carry around and use. The photos are generally acceptable but if you have a multi camera phone, you may miss out on the macro features in particular. Standard pics taken are quite good. Unfortunately the trade off is battery life and text size.
