It is the opposite, the iPhone SE has a 4.7 inch screen and the iPhone 13 Mini has a 5.4 inch screen. The reason why the Mini with it's significantly larger screen is almost not bigger is because it doesn't need space for the home button and the bezels around the screen are smaller. The difference in physical size (length and width) is so small that it is not really noticeable unless you put one on top of the other. Both SE third Gen and 13 Mini have the same A15 processor and actually the 13 Mini wasn't as popular or as good of a seller which is probably the main reason why Apple is not making a Mini any more. Of course so far it seems the 14 Plus is also not going to be flying off the shelves. Small phones like the SE and Mini seem to be a thing of the past at least for now because the next iPhone SE is going to have a 6.1 inch screen and will apparently be similar to the iPhone XR in design with no homne button.
And do not buy a regular iPhone 14, you are getting a phone which has the same A15 processor as the iPhone 13 family since Apple only put the new A16 processor into the iPhone 14 Pro and pro MNax this year. You would be much better off with a 13 Pro over a regular 14, you get the same processor but you gain the liDAR sensor which is in all Pro models since the iPhone 12 Pro, but it is not in the regular models like the regular iPhone 12/12 Mini, 13/13 Mini and 14/14 Plus and neither is it in the SE. Here are the dimensions and weights of both the 13 Mini and 13 Pro and this comes directly from Apple's website: iPhone 13 mini 5.18 inches tall (131.5mm) 2.53 inches wide (64.2mm) 0.30 inches thick (7.65mm) 4.94 ounces (140 grams) iPhone 13 Pro 5.78 inches tall (146.7mm) 2.82 inches wide (71.5mm) 0.30 inches thick (7.65mm) 7.16 ounces (203 grams) iPhone 13 Pro is larger and heavier as 13 Mini by these numbers: Tall: 0.6 inches (15.2mm) Wide: 0.29 inches (7.3mm) Thickness: same Weight: 2.22 ounces (63 grams) In other words, the most noticeable difference would be the height/length, the 13 Pro is just under 5/8 of an inch taller which is about as much as most people's pinky finger or maybe their index finger. In width it is only a bit more than a quarter of an inch wider, if you look at the difference in millimeters, 7.3mm is a little less than the 7.65mm thickness of both the 13 Mini and 13 Pro. This means if you put a 13 Mini on top of a 13 Pro you could stand another iPhone on edge and it would cover the difference in width. The most noticeable difference is probably the weight, but as I said, you should really see if you can't go to an Apple store and handle both phones to see if the Mini is as much smaller as you think or if that size difference really matters to you. ---Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Evan Reese Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2022 8:01 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: I'm in the Market for a Small iPhone Thanks Larry, I did some Googling. It took me some time, but I found a guide to Apple's smallest iPhones. Apparently, the iPhone Mini was a very popular line, so there was some dissapointment when a new version wasn't released this year. I'm wondering though, if I get a 13 Mini, if it will be more likely to go obsolete before an SE model or a standard 14 model. If that is unlikely, then I'm kind of leaning toward that model. It's still for sale on the Apple site and from Verizon, which is our carrier. The SE is close to the same size as the Mini, although according to what I've read, it has a smaller screen but a bigger body. A lower screen resolution too, but that doesn't matter to me.
