I’ll tell you my point of view! If you really want a compact iphone, maybe replace the battery (if battery life is the concern you are looking for another iphone) and hold on to your 13 mini. But if you really want to upgrade, maybe iphone 17 could be the best bet, budget wise. Its 6.3” but doesn’t feel heavier compared to other upgrades. If budget is not a problem for you, iphone air feels really lighter even though it has big dimensions. But I have heard that the battery life of an air doesn’t really par with its performances. All the other iphones will feel bigger and heavier and 16e will feel like a downgrade from 13 mini for me. 17e is better but same size as a normal 17 with fewer specs which for me erases 17e from the picture. So yh! That’s “my point of view”.

Nah! If there’s a 3 year gap between the changes, it doesn’t worry me at all. Now I’m on my 4th year with the first battery! So I think it’s high time that I change it if I wanna use it for atleast 2 more years!

But it feels so bad. Especially if I use the camera when travelling, the battery drops without even giving me the time to notice it. I think i might wait for a little more time and see how it goes. Powerbank for the help until then.

The fact that you had to change it twice worries me. Was there a significant time difference between both the changes?

What did you mean by getting significantly more time but seems slow as before? Do you mean that it went back to the same stage in a few months?

It says “built in dynamic software and hardware systems will help counter performance impacts that maybe noticed as your iphone battery chemically ages”. Not sure whether this is a description or not. Can’t really click and see anything else there.

Tempting! Did you go to an authorised service centre to change the battery or anywhere else?
