It is, however, technically functional with carriers worldwide.
All iPhone 13 mini models have a 5.4-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR" display (2340x1080, 476 ppi) that covers nearly the entire front. It has three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, housed in the "notch," supports Face ID, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a dual-camera system with 12-megapixel, 4K-capable Ultra Wide (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view) and Wide (f/1.6 aperture) cameras. Apple claims the Ultra Wide camera's new sensor delivers more detail and less noise, while the Wide camera includes "Sensor-shift OIS" for enhanced stabilization. These cameras also introduce a new "Cinematic mode" with a simulated depth effect (1080p, 30 fps).
The iPhone 13 mini has an aluminum case with flat sides and a glass front and back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, and the back features an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Initially available in five colors—a warm gray (Starlight), "Midnight" (black), blue, (pale) pink, and (PRODUCT) RED—a sixth color, Green, was added on March 8, 2022.
Internally, the iPhone 13 mini is driven by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with six cores (two performance, four efficiency) and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, Ultra Wideband for "spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve," and dual SIM support (one hardware nano SIM and one software-based eSIM or dual eSIMs).
Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 13 mini are "up to" 55 hours of audio playback, 17 hours of video playback, and 13 hours of streamed video playback.
