Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Apple iPhone 13 mini
Our Verdict: There's two years between the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 13 mini, so the iPhone 13 mini is ahead on most things. Only the 13 Mini is a 5G phone; the 11 Pro maxes out at 4G, and there's more battery in the 11 Pro, 3046mAh to 2406mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The 11 Pro has the bigger screen, 5.8" against 5.4", and the 13 Mini is the lighter phone at 141g against 188g. The 13 Mini is the better phone; upgrade from the 11 Pro if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
If you'd rather pay up front, the 11 Pro is the cheaper buy at £140 SIM-free.
