    I made the switch recently to a 13 mini, just hated how big everything is now.

    Personally I’d say just get the regular one and save the money. The Pro is a big cost increase for 120Hz and a third camera, otherwise they do basically all the same stuff. Apple supports both models for 6+ years anyway, so longevity isn’t an issue either way.

      I’m the same way. I would love if there was a 15 mini. I’d consider the 13 but USB-C is one of my main drivers and the fact it’s already 2 generations behind.

        Well keep in mind the 14 has the same SoC as the 13, so Apple will probably provide software for the same time since they are essentially the same phone.

      I think this is good advice. Also, the non-pro models tend to be lighter (we’ll have to see if this is true for the 15 series as they are rumored to switch to Titanium, which is lighter).

      Just a note on that, but going forward it’s likely that the regular models will lose support when the previous year pro does now that they are doing the chip difference.

      So with the 15 having the same chip as the 14 pro, it will probably get one year less support than thr 15 pro.
