YES do it!!! I “downgraded” from the iPhone 13 Pro to the 13 mini and have ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS. The 13 pro was just too bulky and heavy for me. I rarely used the pro features anyway, I only use my phone to call, text, scroll through social media and take photos of my dogs. The media consumption device of choice is my 11” iPad Pro. If you have an iPad or tablet of some sort, you should be all set for going smaller, phone-wise. Only thing to take into account is if you need the battery to last all day with heavy usage - you’re not gonna get that with the mini. My mini gets me through the day with medium use (about 4 or 5 hours screen on time) on iOS 16.1

I am very very happy with the smaller phone.
