Apple released the iPhone 13 mini on 24 September, along with the iPhone 13, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max.
As the smallest of the range, the iPhone 13 mini offers a compact 5.4in OLED screen but with a whopping 2340x1080 resolution at 476ppi. It's also the most affordable of the lot, with prices starting at £679/$699/AUD$1,199.
Despite the smaller price tag, the 13 mini still boasts the latest A15 Bionic processor, allowing blazing fast performance. With a 4-core GPU, the iPhone 13 mini burns though graphics performance too – you can see its benchmark scores in our review, where the 13 mini received 4.5/5 stars. In the review, Macworld Editor David Price called it a "...super-powerful phone with a great screen and cameras in a convenient, highly portable chassis".
