Review on Smartphone Apple iPhone 13 mini 128 GB, nano SIM+eSIM, pink by Stanislaw Komorowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Actually, all the claims described below are less related to the phone itself as a piece of iron and to a greater extent to Apple itself, hence the rating of 5. I had an iPhone 4 back in 2022 - then it was definitely cooler than Android in everything, without exception, starting from advanced hardware , a good system, excellent optimization and a bunch of software, and ending with build quality, an excellent camera for those times and a good battery. When I bought it - the WOW effect was certainly strong, and then it was worth the money. Now, 10 years later, it was necessary to ate the phone, the choice lay between Nokia XR20 and iPhone 13, well, I think I already clapped Androids, Windows Phone too, I think I haven’t had iPhones for a long time. Bought. In the end, I'm disappointed. Under the sauce of innovation for a bunch of generations, almost nothing has changed, even the design of 4ki has returned. Yes, there were a bunch of whistles and fakes clumsily copied from competitors, but otherwise it's still the same iPhone 4. And it's upsetting. Android adapts to the owner with almost no restrictions, bringing with each ate something new that is not tied to either standards or stereotypes. The iPhone, on the other hand, follows some kind of obtuse obsolete traditions like a lightning connector. Well, seriously, why? For what? There is still no support for memory cards. There is nothing to drive on a closed system - even in the new macbooks, card readers were returned. In general, the device is certainly good - everything that is in it works well, but Apple also relies on third-party software, which also starts to glitch here and there + the dominance of advertising, again, like in android. So where is my premium? What is the money paid for? Androids are in fact no worse - I say this because I carry a second Android phone with me on duty and use it - the only problem is the battery, but my Android has been running on its own battery for 4 years already and it still holds without a SIM card. In fact, the android at half the price will adequately compete with the iPhone. I gave an example of models. Nokia XR20 vs iPhone 13 mini - Nokia hits the price, otherwise it's on an equal footing.

Pros
  • 1. Screen. It is cool, sensitive to pressing, although the edges sometimes mow, in general 2. The system works quickly and smoothly (still, it would work badly for that kind of money) 3. Battery - keeps the battery for a very long time - this is good news 4. The most advanced set of ALL interfaces, including wireless 5. Camera - I leave this item at the mercy of photographers - there are a lot of them now, I can only say that the pictures are very worthy 6. A bunch of other things that any review will tell you anyway
Cons
  • 1. The logic of working with the system is the same as 10 years ago. Yes, they added a bunch of whistles and fakes, but the back button is still in the upper left corner. Ale wake up! In the same safari, the back buttons have already moved to the lower left corner, in the system menus, was it not fate to transfer the same? In terms of the logic of the work, Apple froze in place, no development is visible, this is definitely a minus. 2. Desktops lack widgets. Yes, smart stacks appeared - but this is some kind of mockery, not widgets - it feels like they tried to copy an android or Windows Phone somehow crookedly. Working with desktops is absolutely miserable, for 10 years the changes are minimal - very weak. 3. There is simply no innovation in hardware. I used wireless charging back in 12 when I used Nokia Lumia on WP - I still charge it with the same chargers. Is it not destiny to come up with your own besides your own bespontovy Ligthing connector? Even the minijack was the first to be removed from Motorola devices and not Apple. 4. Actually connector lighting. Can anyone sanely explain to me why I can charge my second Android phone with a charger from my macbook and not an iPhone? This is at least stupid considering that they have been praising their thunderboard for a very long time. Making hardware with different connectors, but at the same time one of them is compatible with competitors' connectors (!) Are you out of your mind at all? 5. The kit - it feels like the box from my iPhone was robbed somewhere in Afghanistan on the way from China to 2022. Well, seriously, since the charger has been removed, at least try to compensate for this with something - well, I don’t know, put some stickers or extend the warranty, or I don’t know any promotions with online courses, could at least something be done? 6. FaceID is really inconvenient in the era of masks and quarantines. In this regard, either a finger scanner would be shoved under the screen or a retinal scanner would be done as in the same Microsoft Lumia 950 (greetings from 2022) Or did you not know that COVID-19 is coming out of the 3rd year? And this despite the fact that in the iPad TouchID in the button!
