Nice little phone!
It was time to upgrade from my iPhone 6s Plus, as I was running into compatibility issues. I wanted something smaller this time around, and this iPhone 13 mini is certainly that. With Apple's elimination of the Home button, however, the screen size on this "mini" is almost as big as that on my old 6s Plus. I wasn't about to spend the money on the latest-version iPhone, and I zeroed in on the model 13 as being the best mix of price and modernity. "Refurbished" is definitely the way to go...my phone is indistinguishable from new. $289 is a lot easier to swallow than $1100-1200 for an iPhone 16. As a bonus, the iPhone 13 uses the Lightning cable, of which I have multiple examples. Didn't really want to have to replace all of them with USB-C cables (as I would have had to do with an iPhone 16). Guess I'll be stuck next time around, however...which I hope won't be for at least 5 years.
