Screen brightness is THE biggest factor when it comes to battery life. But even keeping that down, I don’t think the mini is going to be a good fit for you. It wasn’t for me as even a bit of Pokemon Go was enough to put it at risk of needing a recharge when it wasn’t convenient.

Hahaha

Mini is not for you if you are looking to get whole day of battery

True, I heard that from that from 12 series onward most phones are able to reach the end of the day without any issue, that's pretty much the only concern.

If battery is your concern then a mini is the wrong choice no matter what.

Small phone == small battery. If you’re worried about battery life the mini isn’t for you.

Mmmmm, let me say a little bit more then, although you are already making a point.

​

I do have a lot of screen on time, I was expecting to get at the very least 5 hours of SOT, or at least to not have to charge the phone through the day. I mostly spend my time in social media and Spotify, waze makes special appearances from time to time.

I rarely game and don't mind battery if that's the case.

Not really enough info to make a recommendation either way. To me, it does sound like you're a heavy user. I'm not confident any base model phone would be enough for your needs without charging.

What about spending less money and getting one of those battery cases I'm assuming they make for the S21? B/c I really feel if you got the mini, you'd still end up needing one of those.

I had the 13 mini and the battery was just ok i cilium’s barely make it though the day with light to medium use. If you have a MagSafe battery pack to go with it then you would be fine.

Thanks Thats the problem I need a lot of calls to be recorded and this solutions are not very comfortable

This comes up multiple times a week. It isn’t possible. Apple doesn’t allow apps to record telephone calls from the device itself.

All call recorders on iOS offer a poor experience due to having to use three way calling. The person being called is always aware they are being recorded and there is a gap in the conversation while the third number connects. A third party stores the recordings and you need to subsequently download your recording. You are far better off buying a call recorder that plugs into the phone and using that. Personally if I need to record a call I put it on speaker and record with my Apple Watch and an app called Just Press Record

Aaah! Highly doubt this. Coz never had this issue until a few days ago. But, who knows!

Will try it out

No iOS 17 support is likely, although nothing is confirmed.

Looks like you are living in a place with an undocumented IP address, so all websites are thinking you are a non identified user.

It‘s not confirmed, so we can’t be sure until WWDC. If they drop support for the iPhone 8 this would also mean that they have to drop it for the iPhone X as well and that would be a shame. The 8/X got 5 years of software updates and the 6s got 6 years. So there might be a chance for the 8/X getting iOS 17. But I don’t expect Apple to support iOS 18+.

charge ur phone

of course, would be foolish not test my overheating hypothesis

problem, problem! engine! engine! no...no...

i think it’s likely that iphone 8 will not get ios 17. however you don’t need to be very concerned about that as apps usually support older ios. moreover apple also rollout security updates to older ios versions for a very long time.

an iphone 8 is old but still an impressive piece of tech and a pleasant thing to use. surely still can squeeze 2-3 years of enjoyment out of that bugger.

And you're very concerned because ... ?

Nothing confirmed yet
