Used iPhone 13 or 13 mini?
Hi, I found an iPhone 13 mini with original packaging, charging cable, 89% battery capacity, and three original Apple cases for €411 (excluding VAT) in the classifieds, and an iPhone 13 with original packaging, charging cable, and 87% battery capacity for €500. Both have 128GB of storage and are both in very good condition (no cracks or scratches on the screen, back, or camera). Which do you think would be more worthwhile? I currently have an iPhone 7 and am relatively happy with the size (or I've just gotten used to it). But I'm not just interested in the size of the phone, but also in the battery, and what would be better in terms of price.

I can say from experience, do not care too much about the battery capacity, since it should not have been used by the seller for a long time, the battery capacity does not fail, as this longer non-bubbing leads to the worse battery, which is not yet displayed.
Follow: The battery is much worse than expected and will decrease by 37% battery capacity in the first 4 months.
So it also depends on the age and last use of the iPhone.
Furthermore, you will generally have a bad battery with the mini models, be aware of this!
Compared to iPhone 13, you will have a better battery.
Yes, I’m aware of the battery, but I don’t really know, because of the price, whether the iPhone 13mini would be worth more, as I would save myself 80€
Amazingly, the iPhone XS has a very comparable image quality with daylight than the iPhone 13 Mini. At night the 13-something has the better.
What I would like to say: You will have more advantages with the 13-s, because at the mini you simply have to be saved because of space problems in functions and you also have a worse battery.
Find this also always difficult this purchase decision and then also used 😅
—> Buy an iPhone 14 for 500€, this is already available on classifieds and possibly is also negotiation room 😉
As a result, you pay the same as the 13th, but get the better battery and can also use it for longer.
And what I have also learned: A smartphone in a very good condition is good, but the probability that your smartphone will get any damage as you will probably use it for more than 3 years.
I therefore always find that it can also be advantageous to buy a smartphone in the worse state. However, I would make sure that there are no scratches on the camera or on the display, as this place is not covered by a protective cover.
So, better condition, better battery and longer use for the same money, I see it now.
Or you’ll see Samsung’s S-Series.
thank you for the suggestion, then I will definitely look for iPhone14.
