Today I Used My Tiny Hands to Pre-Order the iPhone 13 Mini

6 reasons why I can’t wait to wrap my lil fingys all the way around.

Let’s get one thing clear: I am firmly planted in the Apple ecosystem.

The iPhone 4 hooked me with its square edges and compact form factor. When that crapped out, I got a deal on the already outdated iPhone 5s. In 2018, with the Apple Care expired and the screen absolutely smashed, I replaced it with the iPhone 8 that I still currently use. In the pandemic alone I’ve acquired my second Macbook Air, an Apple TV, and, just to round it all off, an iPad Pro too. I’m a delusional tech dummy who thinks having Apple products makes me smart and cool.

As brainwashed as I’ve become, I’ve never had the latest model iPhone. Until now.

Meant to Be

I didn’t plan it. This morning started like any other: cat fed, coffee on, lights, shower, the glow of my MacBook Air as the sun rose outside my home office window.

I had no idea September 17th was the first day to pre-order the iPhone 13. But I should have.
