Yes. Moved from 11 to 13 mini and LOVE it. This is the size I want a phone to be. Portable, easy to hold for long durations, good enough battery life.

I'm on screens all day and use an iPad for media consumption so the phone is mostly used a phone, podcast and gps device when I'm out.

Now I don't know what Airalo is or how it works, but I don't think the names are local operators but rather "product name" Airalo has made for each country. "Vän" just means "Friend" (and there are no operators called Vän), looking at the Norwegian and Danish counterparts they're also not operators. So it could just as easily have been called "Airalo - Sweden"

I went from an 11 pro max to 13 mini back to 14 pro

Max phones are just to big to carry about. So went to the mini. Absolutely loved the little bugger. Hands down the best looking iPhone.

Sadly it only last 6months as I went back to a 14 pro. The mini is unfortunately to small for medium to heavy use people. The missing features, the extra battery, screen was to small to reply to emails etc.

So the 11 pro max went to the wife and the mini will be handed down to my kid. I’ll miss the little thing. But the 14 pro is the perfect balance of power and size.

The features most people are listing are not really iOS software restrictions, but more of hardware related.

If anything, only some software features can’t be taken advantage of due to hardware. It’s like saying you can’t use the RTX on feature because you don’t have an RTX card.

Realistically software limitations between models would be animations and interactions that dynamic island would use. You won’t get tiny information like what dynamic island is on pro models.

Looking to Regular 14 models, you do get newer default wallpapers exclusive to 14 models. Can’t think of anything else.

Overall, you’re not missing out on much on this cycle of iPhones software wise. It’s the hardware you gotta be after to have a noticeably different experience.

I went from 6 > 6S Plus > 7 Plus > X > 14 Pro Max… I never really forgave Apple for not turning out an X Plus, the newer models had a Plus/Max in their range but - not being a camera or social media person - the upgrades were never enough for me to swap from the X which is still a gorgeous little phone

Now I’m with the larger iPhone’s again I honestly cannot say if I am having a better experience or not, I definitely find it annoying trying to find pockets and using one-handed isn’t a cakewalk either

Would I recommend it? I’d say find one that suits you, like you would a pair of shoes, you’ll adjust and won’t be able to clearly tell a difference in experience

I have both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 Pro. I end up missing the telephoto lens with the mini. The screen size usually isn’t an issue, but some apps have things cut off due to the size of the phone. Also the battery life is obviously worse. I usually have to charge mid-day. But that happens sometimes even with the regular sized iPhone. I use the bigger iPhone 95% of the time.
