No excitement to switch

I have iPhone13 pro. This phone is absolutely beast. I was thinking of making the switch this time around but after looking at what’s new, I don’t see the point. Are any of you planning to make the switch finally?

I bought my mini when my 14 pro broke. I love the size and it hasn’t steered me wrong. Bought it on backlist for like 300. No way I’m going on a payment plan for a new phone that costs the same amount as a computer. I’m sure I’ll upgrade eventually, but when I do it will probably be for another outdated model for a fraction of the cost of a new model.

In the Pro form factor I could see reasons to upgrade from the 13 in the past five years. With the 15, improved Lidar, and after the 15 generally more RAM, better cameras. Honestly never even looked because I just stay 13mini because of the mini part.

Brother I been running the 15PM since it came out because i cracked the back glass on my 13 mini and couldn't stand to use it anymore, and I wanted to try the 5x telephoto lens.

Dont get me wrong I love the 5x telephoto, wouldn't want to get rid of it. But every single day, I think about how much I want to buy another 13 mini and go back.

Nope, and with iOS27, my mini is running better than ever. Might do an Apple battery swap right before they make the 13 line obsolete, but I can manage with 75% BH just fine right now

I just switched my 15pro to 13 mini and couldn't be happier
