How's the battery on your 13 Mini? Mine is abhorrent compared to a few weeks ago.

I have a 12 mini and have also found that 26 has killed my battery life.

I also agree that they didn’t test it on smaller screens, there are lots of cases where things don’t quite fit right.

I’ve been wanting a better camera for a little while, I guess it’s time to adjust to something bigger :\

Same here - on a 12 Mini. My wife and my mother have the same phone, and I have recommended that they hold back on upgrading.

I really hope Apple will address this in a dot-upgrade later this year, but I am afraid that the market share of the 12 and 13 models are too low for them to justify this.

I have the standard iPhone 13 (not mini) and the battery longevity is probably the best of any phone I've ever owned. At over 3.5 years old it still reports 89% battery health and lasts much longer than I need. Previous iPhones I owned were all pretty much on their last legs by that age.

I haven't upgraded it to iOS 26 / Liquid Glass, though, and given what I'm seeing/hearing, I don't plan to.

The question was how much the update to iOS 26 affected battery life

On the iPhone 13 Mini

I like to rant about my iPhone 13's great battery, any chance I can get!

I just replaced it before the 26 upgrade. It was at 76% by then. With the new battery, I haven’t faced any issues. It lasts a whole day easily, unless I do things like tethering etc.

Replied at the same time as you. I agree. In Safari there’s ton of space on each side of the URL bubble yet I only get about 7 chara visible.

There is a Safari setting to improve this, although it adds height. Still preferable, imo.

The mini’s logical resolution is actually the same as the Pro Max with Display Zoom, hence the latter will have the same issue.

Same. Terrible mistake. My mini overheats like crazy now.

On the mini, some UI elements got half pushed into Narnia. Apple, like, WTF?!
