Yes, the iPhone 13 mini is pretty much peak iPhone.
It offers everything you need for a modern phone, with the blazing fast A15 Bionic chip, which means it will get updates for many more years. The form factor is the smallest you get in a modern phone, and the camera is excellent, the screen is great, honestly don't see the point of 120 hz that everyone is so hyped about. You won't find anything as small as that anywhere else, Android phones are almost exclusively larger than 6". Also the battery life should be really good, will easily get you through a day or even more on one charge, as long as it's not your main computing device and you don't live your life on the phone. I have a 12 mini, which has a worse battery than the 13 mini and I'm fine with that. I have had it since launch so more than two years and the battery health is 87 %.
The 13 mini is still current, so not discontinued, as Apple still sells it new in their store, will most likely hang around in the lineup at least to the iPhone 15 launch in the fall.
