There's a lot more differences than that.

MagSafe, OLED, bigger and brighter display, better water resistance, better rear and front facing camera, mmWave 5G, ultra wideband Chip, and Face ID.

Very much not a side grade. A good amount of those differences aren't even maybe I'll use it things. Cameras, better 5G, water resistance and the screen are all or most people can take advantage of.

Caveat emptor.

I would strongly recommend against buying any tech at woot.
Yes they're owned by Amazon but their processes are very very different from sales all the way to returns.
You can find thousands of reviews on awful mistakes they've made and how horribly painful (and time consuming) it's been to get your money back when that happens (and it happens incredibly frequently).

In my personal case, I received an absolutely disgusting disease ridden iPhone when I bought one claiming it was "grade A".
It then took 3.5 weeks for them to agree to take it back and return my money.

Absolutely! The 13 mini is a fine iPhone, and can do almost everything the latest iPhone can do. Apple even fixed the 'poor reception' and battery life issues that plagued the 12 mini. The only practical limitation is the camera. But, if you don't care about that, the 13 mini is worth having for the form factor alone. I use a 13 Pro now only because T-Mobile gave it to me for free, but I still prefer my 13 mini for everything except photos. I have retained my 13 mini as a backup.

Is the 13 mini still worth it heading to mid 2024? I have SE 2022 and I'm considering "upgrading" to the same small form factor. Don't want 12 mini.

Not refurbished though. I have 12mini that I love. Just swapped the battery.
12 and 13 most likely will have battery on the last leg and it is $100 to replace

As a data point I have had my 13 mini since launch and it's at 88% life. I use the crap outta it. Lovely phone just miss the 120 refresh rate and updated cameras of pro models.

Wish Apple sold the 13 mini refurbished. Would be well worth $500.

Wait, didn't SE (3rd Gen) 2022 come after Iphone 13 mini (2021 launch) and has the same a15 bionic chip and similar camera. Not sure if it will really be an upgrade.

Thanks OP. Bought an SE (3rd Gen) for 229$, was tempted to go with the Total by Verizon $149 + 2 month plan offer,. but this is better.

No. Same processor. I prefer thumbprint and the screen layout is better on the se.

It's only 1 month. So 192 approx with taxes. Phone will unlock after 60 days as long as it is in WiFi

Crap deal compared to what you can get on Swappa.
Good luck getting 1 year warranty from swappa.. Swappa verifies the IMEI but does not verify if it has been rooted or any malware running in background.
I am not sure how woot warranty works though.

These probably aren't Applecare-eligible, right?
