iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 mini pretty good deals too.
Im thinking about to upgrade my iphone 12 mini to 13 mini. the phones are keep getting bigger and bigger so anyoing. why can't top phone companies have small phones?! and the 13 mini is the last gen to offer physical sim cards. Im not a fan of eSim since I travel a lot internationaly.

12 mini -> 13 mini doesn't seem like a worthwhile upgrade...why bother?

"why can't top phone companies have small phones?" The iPhone SE exists.. and Apple makes their phones based on demand - they likely dropped the minis because they weren't selling well enough to justify the separate production lines they require.

Also, "keep getting bigger and bigger" hasn't really been true for years - not for Apple anyway... the 13/14 pro/max are essentially the same sizes, but with the 15 there's actually a (slight) size savings over previous gens, and a pretty good weight savings, too. My XR is bigger than the 15 pro that will be replacing it.

Well since they don't make the Minis anymore having another newer Mini should help satisfy his need for a small iPhone for a few more years. The SE is no mini. The screen is smaller and the phone is wide.

Just spoke to a rep, you need to be on monthly plan for 3 consecutive months to be eligible for the gift card. Buying the annual plan will void the rebate. Also, none of their plans are truly unlimited - they cap at 20GB/30GB and reduced speeds after that.

I actually owned both devices(12 and 13 mini) the 13 mini is significantly brighter than the 12 mini. Also i feel like the speed difference is noticeable. as to the iPhone SE it is a pretty capable device when it comes to general tasks but the screen to size ratio is abysmal and is a pretty dated design.
Lastly yeah I don't know why people complain about sizes either. The Galaxy S series actually went smaller in size from one gen to another i think the 21 to the 22

How bad is iPhone 15 base model vs Pro models? Thinking of getting iPhone 15 base with no bells and whistles just the cheapest one. Thanks 🙏
The pro has a 120hz screen. It will have a smoother user experience.

Hi.

i15 base appears to me to be the value item comparing it to it's i14 iteration. Why? it gets the jump to the 48mp camera the i14 base didnt get last year bec. it was reserved for the i14 pro and max (but it's really a 24mp but a really good one).

forget about usb-c for the i15 base however... it's physically there, but the data transfer rates are usb 2.0... same a lighting... they only did the interface change.

the i15 pro does have the ability to offload files to a externally connected drive... that was shown during the annoucement demo....

i just dunno (i haven't checked ) if it's a feature exclusive to the 15pros... probably is.

So I can't get any financing.

It errors out when I try. When I tried to contact redpocket, I was told to contact smartpay. Smartpay then told me they no longer have an active relationship with redpocket. Go back to redpocket. The preapproval link even says smartpay. So as far as I can tell there's no active way to finance. Im now working with redpocket.


This would all be so much easier if apple didn't nerf the apple card phone financing feature
