This is a good idea. I, and my whole family, have iPhones 7s. The iPhone 13 mini is a smaller phone with a bigger screen. The perfect choice, while they still make a mini. We're doing it this week.

For the past 10 years, I owned a Blackberry. I loved it. As the years went by, the apps were no longer supported and stopped working, internet browser was slow or stopped responding, but I did not care, because I mainly used it for making calls. Well, the time came last August when my wireless carrier shut down the old (3G) network as part of the transition to 5G. My Blackberry could no longer even be used for calls: it was obsolete. I had no choice but to get a new phone: an iPhone 12.

And I love the iPhone 12 more than my Blackberry! Screen is bigger, processor more powerful, browser is faster, text messages are now legible, countless apps to use, games to play, pictures are so much more vivid, I can finally use the wireless ear buds my wife bought me and, yes, I can even make calls too.

As others noted, if size is a concern you can get the “mini” but expect after owning your new phone will come to realize that it is a change for the better.

Nobody is selling a NEW SE or 12mini for $200-250US, that is half Apples price, unencumbered.

Bill is $50.00 a month TOTAL. Single guy, paid cash for the phone.

Sounds expensive. I buy my phones outright and my cell bill is under $30/month, typically $25.

Multiple lines get great prices...I am ONE guy. I can go Mint Mobile for $15.00 plus tax.

I still prefer it anyway, and on the back. For ease, so I'm clinging to a pixel 3 still

So again, did you sign a contract for that plan?

I'm getting the same (and likely more) for ~33 a month. So if you're under contract for 2 years there is the subsidy

NO contract!
