Good morning Cleverson and all! Thank everyone for their responses and I will be using my old charging blocks! I am very pleased with the iPhone 13 mini so far. I came from an iPhone 7 and find the performance and snappiness of the 13 mini much better. The setup went smoothly as I brought the iPhone home and updated it by placing it right next to my iPhone 7. I have tested the sound with the internal speakers and find it to have a decent sound and with a definite improvement from my iPhone 7. I have gotten 2 days of moderate use before charging the battery. The USBC is faster than the USBA but does produce more heat which I agree with others on the list can shorten the battery life. I have used the speaker phone on a call and the other person came through very clear and with a good volume. I have used the earpiece on calls and find the caller clear and at a good volume. I have used my airpods for other calls and have no issues hearing the caller or the caller hearing me. A friend commented that the sound they get on their end of a call is improved over my iPhone 7. I hope this has helped and please reach out if you have any questions.
