You want to change your smartphone and can't decide between the iPhone 11 and the newer iPhone 13 mini? Read ahead to find out their differences and make the right choice.

As its name suggests, the iPhone 13 mini is the smaller of the two phones. It measures only 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.7 mm, compared to 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm for iPhone 11. It is also lighter at 141 grams versus 194 grams for its predecessor. It therefore appeals to users who like to navigate with one hand or who want a device with a minimal footprint. Of course, this compact form comes at the cost of screen size. Its display is only 5.4 inches compared to the 6.1 inch screen of the iPhone 11. It also has a very respectable camera setup for those interested in photography. Equipped with similar 12MP wide and ultrawide cameras, just like in the iPhone 11, the iPhone 13 mini benefits from more recent, slightly improved sensors and processing.

The larger iPhone 11 is better suited for those that don't like smaller screens. It's also one of the best smartphones in terms of value for money. Although not as new as the iPhone 13 mini, it only shows its weaknesses in terms of storage capacity, with only 64, 128 or 256 GB compared to 128, 256 or 512 GB for the iPhone 13 mini. It's smooth and responsive, and very close to its competitor in terms of performance, with a loss of power that's almost impossible to notice in regular use.

The fact that it's two years old only handicaps it in terms of longevity. The iPhone 13 mini will be supported for an additional 2-3 years over the iPhone 11.

Do you like to watch movies and series on your smartphone? The 6.1-inch screen of the iPhone 11 will be a more comfortable experience than the iPhone 13 mini. When it comes to power and longevity, the iPhone 13 Mini is your best bet. It's newer and more powerful, and it'll be supported for longer.
