I'm trying to hang on to my 13 mini until next year, when hopefully Apple will have figured out Apple Intelligence and upgrade the phone hardware to run it. But I'm worried my 13 mini won't make it that long. It's starting to struggle with even basic apps and lags just reading news articles. Battery is still at over 80% though


My 13 mini works great. Just got a replacement on Swappa after dropping mine in a lake.

What’s lagging for you? I haven’t noticed anything even remotely slow on this phone.


Safari sometimes lags terribly, otherwise it's ok.


Adblocker might help you there. It's great that Safari on iOS supports extensions.

Not my experience, but I tend to blame the web rather than my phone when things get laggy. I estimate that my 13 is about in the middle of its life, barring unexpected rapid deceleration events.


My battery is at 80% after 2 years. Mine is still on AppleCare+. I always do express replacement so I get a « new » one. Hopefully my battery reach 79% soon.
