Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “iPhone 13 Mini – Real Day in the Life Review!”.
What’S going on guys, drivers, consumer and today we’re gon na be spending a real day in the life with the iphone 13 mini uh. I need to head to work right now. It is 9 40 a.m, but this little guy is insisting that i read to him. He just plopped down on the floor, so i’m gon na read a book to him, but today we’re gon na be spending a day with the phone uh testing out all the features battery life is gon na, be like the biggest thing. We’Re gon na keep an eye on um, but yeah we’ll get an idea of how the phone is to use in the real world check out all the features see if there’s anything missing from the mini version uh, but yeah lots of work to do today, and Hopefully this little guy lets me get to it.
So i caved and read to the little guy for a bit before heading out but figured i might as well put that cinematic mode from the mini’s camera to the test, and i got ta say it looks pretty clean, even though we didn’t have much lighting here. But after this i got on facetime with jay to iron out, what’s happening at the studio till i get there because i’m not gon na lie. It actually takes a while for me to get in, but before we go too far, we got ta give a huge shout out to today’s sponsor anchor. So anker just dropped a ton of new magsafe compatible devices. This is their mag go lineup and they’ve got some really cool stuff. Here, let me show you so this right here is anker’s magnetic wireless charger and check this out. You guys you can just throw your iphone right on top, but what’s really awesome is the fact that you can go ahead and rotate this. However, you want you can bring it down angle it when that one makes this even crazier.
Is that there’s another charging pad right here in the back? So if you’ve got some air pods, you could throw that on there too. Now next up, we’ve got this. The magnetic battery so check this out.
Guys, we’ve got a portable charger that is attached thanks to magsafe, but what’s cool is that it has this built-in kickstand, so you can go ahead and prop it down. However, you’d like and anger has a ton more. So if you guys want to learn more about them, i’ll have them link down below in the description, so you guys are definitely going to want to check these out all right.
You guys so right now, i’m supposed to be on my way to the studio. Austin already set me back a little bit, i’m blaming it all on him uh, so i’m a little bit late, but you guys ever experienced being late to something and then you’re like. Ah, what’s uh, what’s a few more minutes? What’S in, what’s an extra half hour, yeah that that’s how i’m feeling right now your boy’s about to go, get a haircut, but you know i’m taking you guys along with me. You know real dana lifestyle. You might be thinking my hair is already cut, it looks low, but uh. I need to get it cleaned up properly.
I cut my hair by myself a little bit. I need a barber to properly line me up and make sure i look good all around so either way we’ll go and do that we’ll take care of that and then uh i’ll meet up with jay and uh. We’Ll do the rest of what we need to do today at the studio get myself together. First, all right, you guys, so i noticed my tires. Air pressure was a bit low. Didn’T want to drive around on low tires, so we’re pumping them up right now, uh trying to get all four of them on the same level.
I got this little ryobi uh. I guess inflator deflator and this guy’s actually super clutch. It’S gon na be helping us out here, got one down four to go, but yeah, i don’t know if i’ll make it into work today.
This is kind of crazy. All right, you guys so going into this. I thought that the screen would be way too small to really be effective.
I am pretty used to a larger screen for the gps, but this wasn’t bad at all. I thought it would be worse using the mini for a gps, not as bad of an experience as i thought it was going to be. I definitely went in thinking. This is going to be rough.
I’M going to tell people don’t use this phone as a gps, but no it’s fine. That’S completely fine, still a big screen, even though it’s such a tiny body. So it’s all good, so i finally made it to the studio and of course i’ve been using the phone like i normally would for social media gaming. You know to deal, i got ta say my thoughts on actually using the mini are the same as last year. It feels super comfortable to use since it’s an easy one-handed device and that’s honestly what this phone’s all about it doesn’t get in the way of anything since it isn’t clunky, but it still gives you a respectable sized screen. I just wouldn’t try to do anything too complicated on it, like edit, a video or something that’s better done on a larger screen. Okay, so i finished everything that i needed to do. We got a lot of real day-in-the-life testing done.
Uh honestly, looking at this battery life uh jay, so we are currently at 54. It is 219.. That’S even lower than my iphone 13 provides entirely everything you’re you’re, you have more battery life.
At the end of your day, that’s crazy! The 13 pro max is insane. We’Re at an hour and 55 minutes of screen on time, so we are i’m feeling like we’re gon na be maybe slightly more than four hours, maybe like right around that four hour mark, not the greatest uh i mean we were supposed to be seeing some pretty. You know hour and a half improvement with.
You know this real world usage. Now today i you know, i did record a few more videos than i normally would drop to start the day, um, but still um 54. I wish i wish it were a little bit more, and here goes arie hello, okay, hold hold on give me one. Second, it almost feels comical talking on a small phone like this, but it’s actually pretty comfortable. Okay, i you have my attention all right guys. So i’m about to make a quick tweet.
We’Ve got the iphone 13 pro max over here, which has the best battery life i’ve ever seen on a smartphone through my personal usage. So i was just gon na make a tweet about that. So i took a quick snap of the iphone 13 and i got ta say guys with the way you’re able to take photos now with this phone, even with the 13 mini. When you go into the camera, you have access to the photographic styles option, which i’m personally a huge fan of, because when you’re in here you can custom set basically presets for how you take photos.
And you know i got my own personal preset in here with some nice contrast. I brought the warmth down a bit and i just got like such an awesome image out of the iphone mini, and it just goes to show you these, even though this is the smallest of the bunch uh, the camera system is still really impressive here, uh, i’m Just like honestly super impressed with this photo uh, just my skin tone. The phone itself looks nice and sharp. We’Ve got some nice depth of field, it’s just a really impressive photo and you guys saw some of the footage from earlier. It’S producing really clean images through video and photo uh and honestly, i’m just like i’m really impressed you think you’ve got like the cheaper phone. It doesn’t have the triple camera system like the pros, do, but doesn’t matter you’re still able to get some really nice clean shots and with the addition of things like cinematic mode, photographic, styles, it’s just an overall impressive camera system.
Apple said that this was supposed to be their biggest leap in terms of camera upgrades and uh. It really shows even on the smaller mini. Now. Let me go ahead and make this tweet talking about this battery life. It’S insane! You haven’t seen the real day in the life with the 13 pro max, go check that out it’s nuts and speaking of battery life as much as i want to say the mini got better.
I honestly feel, like i struggled with it just like last year. I ended this particular day with 3 hours and 25 minutes which i get since i was using the camera quite a bit alongside the gps, but on other days i wouldn’t really even get close to five hours and that’s the trade-off you make for such a small Device, but i will say it also charges really quickly, so, even if you’re struggling with battery life during the day charging, it so quickly kind of makes up for it. But you have to keep in mind that you’ll want to keep a charger or portable charger with you at all times, just in case all right guys and to end off my day, went to the movies.
Really quick saw venom, it was actually it was alright. The ending is everything. What does that mean all right? That’S all right! It’S just all right. The ending was worth the ticket, though that’s all i got ta, say uh, but yeah low-light camera in a front-facing camera.
All in all, though, i like the iphone mini as it’s the cheapest iphone that you can get the 13-minute isn’t a bad option. If you want that small form factor honestly, i feel like the only compromises that you really make here, are going to be that battery life and, if you’re, trying to do anything super complicated on that screen, you might want something bigger, but for the most part this Is a nice easy to take anywhere with you device? It has the same amount of power as the other iphones, except for the camera system, which is still really good. It’S just pretty much missing out on that telephoto lens, which i’m sure a lot of people can live without this phone is absolutely geared towards people who want a smaller device and don’t want to spend a lot of money, and i think it’s a great option. As long as you keep that charger with you, but that about wraps it up for this video guys, hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy girl that gives this video a thumbs up i’ll catch you guys in the next one till then, as Your average consumer peace .
