If you prioritize a better camera and slightly longer battery life, and don't mind spending more, the iPhone 13 mini is the better choice, with its higher camera quality ratings and longer battery life. However, if your priority is to save money and you're satisfied with good performance and a capable camera, the iPhone 12 mini is a budget-friendly option that still offers quality features. Both have the same screen size and do not differ significantly in size or weight, and both use iOS and have similar displays and design. Give Feedback
