Confused about whether to buy an iPhone 12 or an iPhone 13 during the festival sale? 

Once again, Amazon and Flipkart are offering outrageous offers, and this year has seen some really eye-catching ones. The offers today have it all, from budget-friendly iPhone prices.

The Mini still retains a unique place in the hearts of people who seek a small, unobtrusive phone, even if Apple may have discontinued the Mini series with the release of the iPhone 14 Plus this year.

This year, Flipkart has also offered some pretty awesome discounts on the iPhone 13 Mini, with the 128GB model beginning at Rs 58,990. The cost of the iPhone 12 Mini has also decreased from the previous year, with the 64GB model now costing Rs 37,990. The deal is significantly more attractive because it excludes the already offered credit card possibilities.

With the exception of the internal changes and the new camera positioning, both smartphones seem quite identical.

After the rounded edges of the 11 series were said to be gone, 2020’s iPhone 12 Mini was a breath of new air. The phone stood out from the others because of its flat appearance.

The hardware is likewise constructed using a 5-nanometer process and is powered by an A14 Bionic CPU. According to Apple’s claims, this chip is still more potent than any current Android option, which is obviously noteworthy.

A second 12-megapixel f/2.4 ultrawide snapper and a 12-megapixel f/1.6 sensor with a 1.4-micrometer sensor size are included in the camera’s dual-camera arrangement. A 12-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 aperture is provided for taking selfies.

The battery life of the iPhone 12 Mini, which was powered by a 2200 mAh battery (because of its small size), was one area where many thought it fell short. It could easily survive a full day of use, but you would need to charge it at the end of the day to make it last the next.

The iPhone 13 Mini in 2021 will include a number of new features that will make it the smallest yet most potent smartphone on the market. It has a faster A15 Bionic CPU that delivers higher performance and power efficiency. This processor was created using a 5nm manufacturing technique.

Even the cameras have been updated, with a 12-megapixel ultrawide shooter with an f/2.4 aperture and a 120-degree field of view alongside a bigger 12-megapixel sensor with a 1.7-micrometer size and an f/1.6 aperture. You get a 12-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture for taking selfies.

Not to forget, the iPhone 13 Mini’s battery is greater than that of its predecessor.

It allows the gadget to easily survive a whole day and then some. Its battery capacity is about 2438mAh.

Which one is best?

The iPhone 13 Mini seems like the best option when examining the characteristics, and you are not mistaken.

The iPhone 12 Mini, on the other hand, is unquestionably the one to choose if you’re searching for a reliable portable phone but are on a low budget. The iPhone 12 Mini’s camera system is still one of the best available, and the enhancements, aside from battery performance, aren’t as significant. Keep in mind that the base model of the iPhone 12 comes with 64GB of storage, while the base model of the iPhone 13 comes with 128GB.

The price only increases to Rs 44,990 with the 128GB iPhone 12 Mini, which isn’t too awful.

You would be better off choosing the iPhone 13 Mini if battery life and photography are crucial to you in an iPhone and you have some leeway to increase your budget because it would undoubtedly provide you with greater value over time.

In addition to getting a phone that isn’t two years old, upgrading to the iPhone 15 would also entitle you to one more year of iOS upgrades, which in today’s world is more of a requirement than a feature.
