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.

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.
I thought you only need to pay 1 month, also phone is new from Total vs refurbished here… in my opinion Total deal seems better

Thanks, yeah my 12 mini battery drained fast (last half day) after about 14 months and i bought a case with extended battery, but now that one doesn't do wireless charging anymore so it's a bit annoying not to mention the bulk (I got used to it mostly). $100 battery swap is OEM? Did you update to iOS 13 and latest updates? I can't tell if it's the OS that's killing battery.

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

$100 OEM battery after tax. $50 if you do it yourself. Apple discontinued small factor phones, so it won't get my money

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.

Will the Apple Watch 8 have the O2 sensor disabled?
Watch 8 O2 sensor is enabled. It's only disabled on Watch 9 series and Ultra 2.

The 1-year warranty is handled by "serviceswarranty" and their website is a bare HTML page that just says "Warranty" LMAO

The larger Pro Max will be easier to use for anyone with degraded eyesight and dexterity (not to assume too much about your grandparents, but the statistics aren't too ambivalent about the effects of aging…) I know an elderly SE user, and large text settings combined with the smaller Touch ID screen mean so much text cropping that even I got confused in a few apps I'm familiar with.

Magsafe and oled? Are these things on 13 mini? I am confused.

Good job getting a mini only to make it double it size to even be usable.

Wish Apple sold the 13 mini refurbished. Would be well worth $500.
If apple has named 13 mini, the 13 Original, 13 Classic, or iPhone OG, instead of mini, it's lineup with probably have been more successful. Heck, if mini was just the "iPhone" and 13 iPhone was iPhone Plus, Plus Max etc, it would have succeeded.

Mini it's not a good name for something that must be reliable sound , unbelievably too small, and teenagers don't want something called "mini".

Is there a link for this deal? We are both on earlier gen SEs and feeling some pain on them right now.
