Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
Feels like a small, slightly heavier iPhone 12 mini, with the extra bulk not a problem and a modest performance bump.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“this phone is good I would recommend it but only if you are specifically searching for a small phone”
“the mini was not a huge sales success”
“good mini smartphones exist the iphone 13 mini is a shining example of that”
“dare I say is actually quite good value”
“no gimmicks no one particularly groundbreaking feature it's just the complete latest iphone experience”
“this new iphone 13 mini lasts a whole half an hour longer than the regular size 12”
