The other iPhones have bigger screens, more battery life, more cameras, and all of the other additional features you could continue to list. The same capabilities as the larger version. The lightness compared to all other iPhones. There's something about the iPhone 13 mini that makes it delightful to use. This last part is hard to put into facts or figures, so that's why I called it the intangibles.

I absolutely loved it and wish it was on all iPhones forever.

The refresh rate alone made the iPhone 14 Pro not only look smoother but feel faster. For some people, they'll never notice a difference between a 60Hz and 120Hz display, but I SAW it. The feature that honestly almost got me to abandon my iPhone 13 mini was the ProMotion display. Just know that I hear you and apologize for taking photos that make your eyes bleed. I am NOT a photographer, so I'm sure anyone who is would point out just how wrong I am here. It was obviously BETTER - just not that much better that I would consider it a reason to leave my mini behind. I remember having access to the zoom lens with my iPhone 12 Pro and enjoying Portrait Mode a lot, so I was curious if Portrait Mode on the iPhone 14 Pro would be so much better than my iPhone 13 mini that it would get me to switch. That will change with time, but the feature just doesn't do enough at launch to pull me away from my mini. It's just that there aren't enough parts of the iPhone experience taking advantage of it yet. This isn't the fault of the Dynamic Island. However, after a day of using the phone, I started to forget it was there. It's a feat of engineering and one of those things that remind you of the Apple of the past that creates an experience so delightful it feels like the Disney of the tech world. Let's talk about the Dynamic Island first.
There were three features that the iPhone 14 Pro had over the iPhone 13 mini that I honestly thought were going to get me to switch: the Dynamic Island, the zoom lens, and the ProMotion display. The iPhone 14 Pro features don't matter to meīack of the iPhone 14 Pro (Image credit: Joe Wituschek) No amount of screen real estate replaces the joy of being able to reach the top of the screen with one hand. The iPhone 14 Pro is HEAVY, due not only to its size but its stainless steel construction.ĭon't get me wrong, the extra screen real estate is great, but there's nothing like having a small, capable phone. Going from an iPhone 13 mini to the iPhone 14 Pro feels like you're going from holding a piece of cardboard to a brick. Of course, the weight doesn't help anything either. I remember when Apple made the switch from the 5.8-inch display of the iPhone 11 Pro to the 6.1-inch of the iPhone 12 Pro and I was worried it would make a difference, and it definitely did. It doesn't feel enormous like the iPhone 14 Pro Max surely would, but it feels just a little too big. I knew what I was getting into as I had previously had the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro, so I wasn't expecting to dislike the size as much as I actually did.
The iPhone 14 Pro, by comparison, felt just too big for my taste. It's also much lighter than its siblings, especially the pro models. I remember when I originally got the iPhone 13 mini and thought, "good lord, this thing is TINY." But, after a few days of using it, I came to the conclusion that the mini was the perfect size.
