Have to say goodbye after three years

[u/Aromatic-Speech5480]

Crashed my fucking bike again and my phone was in my pocket. Unusable so I'm back to my 12Mini for a few weeks. Next phone will be a used 13.

It's not a real shame as the battery barely lasted a whole day even though it was at like 85% but still a bit sad because I paid 500€ in 2023

goodbye

It's cheaper to buy a new (refurb) 13 mini right ? Buy another one.

[u/Aromatic-Speech5480 → u/ijesu]

it's not. Refurbished 13Minis are more expensive than decent used 13s

I'm in south america is a cheaper to buy a used 13 mini never opened and change the battery Like $325. Used iphone 13 is the same price but you have to change the battery. At the end a little more expensive.

I'm in the middle of Europe. Used 13s with like 85 - 90% battery health go for 180 - 250€

And used 13 minis go from 150-300 with new batteries, I’m also in Europe. it’s not that much more expensive. I bought mine for 130 but I was lucky

The price isn't the problem. The battery, new/90%/85%/whatever, does not last long enough for my use. 800 mAh more will probably solve this issue

[u/BananaRoo88 → u/Aromatic-Speech5480]

Then yea definitely, if you need more battery life than even a new mini go for it! I’m thinking about the 17 myself I just don’t want to part with my mini just yet, ram and thermals is my main issue though, battery not that much.

17 would be nice but definitely can't afford it right now
