For iPhone 13 mini

Cases and glass for the smallest iPhone here

This page lists the cases, screen protectors, back skins and sets whose choices name the iPhone 13 mini. It is a shorter list than on the larger iPhone pages, because fewer of the shop's multi-model cases come in the mini size. Each product covers several iPhones, so choose the 13 mini on the product page.

Why the mini needs its own size

Apple's specifications give the iPhone 13 mini a 5.4-inch screen in a body 131.5mm tall, 64.2mm wide and 7.65mm deep, weighing 140 grams. That makes it 15.2mm shorter and 7.3mm narrower than the iPhone 13, so no case for a 6.1-inch iPhone will hold it. On the back it has the same pair of cameras as the iPhone 13, a 12MP Main and a 12MP Ultra Wide set on a diagonal, and the frame is aluminium.

What is here for the 13 mini

Charging the 13 mini

The 13 mini charges through a Lightning port, with a USB-C to Lightning cable in Apple's box. Apple quotes up to 50% in 30 minutes with a 20W adapter or higher. For spare and longer cables, see Lightning cables. It has MagSafe magnets too, but Apple's page on its MagSafe Charger says the 13 mini and 12 mini get up to 12W on it, where larger models get more. A magnetic charger still clicks on and charges it; it simply runs a little slower.

Questions people ask about the iPhone 13 mini

Why does my mini charge more slowly on a magnetic charger?

Apple sets the mini models at up to 12W on its MagSafe Charger, and the plug behind the charger matters too. For the quickest charge, use a Lightning cable and a 20W plug. See 20W to 45W chargers.

Will a magnetic wallet stay on a mini?

The 13 mini has the magnet ring, so a magnetic wallet holds on the bare phone or through a magnetic case. See magnetic phone wallets.

Is glass worth it on such a small screen?

A small phone is often carried in a pocket with keys. Glass cut for the mini covers its screen; see screen protectors explained.
