The iPhone 13 mini does slow motion
In the official camera app. You just can't select a high FPS in settings. In the camera app, there's a SLO-MO mode.
I figured that out, because the new iPhone SE, does SLO-MO too, so I figured mine must as well. So I checked the camera app, and saw that mode.
So Apple didn't get rid of slow motion, I just don't know how to use my phone.
