There’s at least 3 of us still on iPhone 13 Minis…

You, me, and my wife. I’m just waiting for my phone to hit 79% battery health so I can take them both in for battery replacement.

It’s gotten to the point that I frequently get asked, “what phone is that”. I imagine because all phones are the size of aircraft carriers now, and an iPhone Mini really stands out.

Will the do a batter replacement for a 13mini? i just cracked my last new-in-box fore battery issues.

If you have Apple Care, I assume Apple will. They’ve done it before, but not on something this old. If not, there’s always DIY or 3rd-party.

They will still do it if it's below 80% on Apple Care, or $119 if you just want to do it out of plan.

You can do it yourself[0].

Word of caution, it seems kind of difficult, I had Apple replace my iPhone 12 Mini and they broke the screen in the process (so got a free screen replacement too), so seems a lot harder than it used to be, think I did it myself back in the 3GS days last time and seems its way more brittle today.

I've replaced multiple iPhone batteries (just not this model), and the great thing about the iFixit kit is it comes with specialized tools you need and great instructions.

Indeed! And I bet Apple technicians have even better training, tools and reference documentation, despite that they broke my screen anyways! So I'll stick to my warning to ask people to be careful, seemingly really easy to break the displays in the process.
