battery life is significantly better on the 13 mini

I had a 12 mini and although batt life could be a complaint for me it was fine since i charged in car on cummute 2x a day and was never farther 10 feet from a charger if required so it actually worked really well. This is the same argument EV proponents make when people complain about lack of card with 500 mile range. In practical terms its just very rarely actually needed.

I guess but an EV costs $30k+ but an iphone 13 mini costs like $200 and a brand new battery for it from apple costs $100

Im not talking about cost im talking about relative size of batterys.
