How bad was the battery life? I was about to buy a iPhone 13 Mini second hand ~90% battery health but that comment put me off a bit. My main reason for switching is because of the crappy battery life on my iPhone SE 2, I'm not a heavy user at all but don't get even close to a full day anymore, don't want to jump from one phone with a bad battery life to another!

tbh it wasnt crazy bad, but not good enough to last a day, as I use my phone with SPotify in the gym and I think i would struggle there with it without charging at some point through the day.

still using my iphone se 2 here, not a heavy user so got it to choice of either new apple battery £65 or refurb mini 12/13.
Have to make the choice soon with BF deals on the way

I’d say it’s fairly likely that the original battery was replaced with a cheap knockoff.

It's a phone, in what world do you need more than 60Hz All that does is rinse your battery more for the sake of it.

It's just nicer on the eyes to have more smooth transitions.

True, but comparing 60FPS/Hz to a 'slideshow' is beyond an exaggeration! 30FPS/Hz is still smoother than that on a console.

yes, I love my new iPhone air, but the mini 13 isn't that bad as I noticed less features than I thought I would. main difference though is obviously the battery!
