Moving from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 13 mini would give you a smaller and more pocketable phone. The display shrinks from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 13, to 5.4 inches on the iPhone 13 mini. The iPhone 13 mini is also smaller and lighter than the iPhone 13. But overall, these two phones are both in the 15th generation iPhone lineup, and the specs are largely the same.
