iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 Mini vs iPhone 12 Pro Max: Cameras?

[ruslan120]

Has anyone dug through the specs / have the distinctions on-hand?

Considering downsizing from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Mini but cameras are important.

I read somewhere the 13 mini cameras are the equivalent of 11 Pro Max? + software features?

Thanks in advance

If I understood correctly, the larger sensor that last year was only in the main camera of the 12 Pro Max, is now the default sensor across the line (or only across all the main cameras?).
Very confusing.

But as a 12 Mini user I can tell you that the compact size is really great, even as I am tempted to switch to the 13 Pro for battery and macro.

I switched from a 12PM to a 12 mini earlier this year. This doesn't answer your question, but as my phone is heavily used as a camera device, I really only noticed the fewer Portrait mode options on the mini. The 12 mini still takes great photos for my use, so I would imagine the 13 will be better. However, I do use my phone way too much for the mini's battery life, so I am just going with a regular Pro this year. But the mini is probably my favorite iPhone in a very long time, and I'm kind of bummed to not be using it soon.
