I currently have an iPhone 13 mini and love it dearly. Sad that Apple has chosen to discontinue it. With that said, the battery life on my mini is caput (80% battery health) and I am interested in the Apple Intelligence function in the new models, so am looking to upgrade. Factors going into selection:
- Apple Intelligence
- Size: the smaller the better
- Battery life: need something I can rely on without dying after a few hours without charging.
- Storage: 128GB to 256GB preferable. I have 2T storage via iCloud.
- Camera does not matter at all, I own a Fujifilm and take most all my photos on that.
With that said, I am thinking about paying $89 to replace the battery on my mini and get me through the next year before the iPhone 17 comes out. So I guess my question is, given the factors above, is:
Do I upgrade now from the 13 mini to the iPhone 16?
OR
Replace the battery on my 13 mini and wait for the iPhone 17?
