Haha thanks dude!!
For all young geeks in the comments section complaining about this phone and it’s battery life . Put your devices away . Start talking to some girls , go to the gym , get some real life friends…if you spend more than 2h online daily playing with your phone you are not living right.
Lol
Bigger issue is that batteries degrade over time so no matter your screen time you will always have less battery as advertised and worse as time goes on. Apple specifically has had lawsuits because they have been caught harming battery life to reap profits.
And instead of commenting on comment sections about what other people do in their private lives, you should read a book, write a diary’s or a book about how to live your life. Not every people gaming on their phone, and battery life is important for many because they use their phone in every day life.
@@blacksamuraisoffendmeso as with the other tech giants😂😂😂
I just wanted my SE 2016 to get an upgraded camera and chip but my 12 Mini is fantastic. People who keep complaining about battery life spend too much time on their phone.
It is the phone for minimalists
Using this phone with the magsafe battery pack and I’m extremely satisfied with the battery backup. Since the mini is no longer in the 14 lineup I’ll stick with it for as long as possible.
Fact
I got a 13 mini instead, I really love it.
May I know what is the brand of battery pack? Apple original?
Does it get heated??
@@vinaypagare4628 i’m gonna miss the iPhone mini lineup, what iPhone do you currently have?
I think you are the only person who is describing about the battery life very well! Big youtubers like geekyranjith and mkbhd they never discussed about batteries much....but good bro I like the way you said( how I got this battery life)
Your content quality deserves more attention throughout the internet, I believe if you make more videos on other smartphone related enthusiastic things such as wallpapers,themes, essential apps, launchers for Android in short if can have a dedicated smartphone customisation video uploaded regularly, your channel will definitely experience significant growth.
When I owned a 5.5” display phone, I wondered whether bigger display is better. So I bought a flagship phone with 6.67” display but then it becomes a must to hold it with two hand. So, I look for a used IP12 Mini and then I found out the price in the used market dropped drastically, so then I purchased it. I have come to terms that phones cannot be too large on our hands or it will lose the ergonomic value and I specifically bought this phone because iOS doesn’t suck up as much juice as Android and like you said, this phone also easily gets me through the day in a single charge.
I agree, I owned flagship samsung but i would say the battery itself sucks so fast which get me to charge the phone 3x or 4x a day, Compare to my 12mini which last whole day with same usage, sometimes i have to charge it in afternoon or evening depends on what task i am doing on my 12 mini
@@markjunemaribojoc4832 Then specifically in the Android market, blazing fast charging becomes a trend. Upon 1.5 year of use, my android phone that supports 120W charging has its battery capacity degraded to 76% 🙃
Honestly, this is the iPhone that I want. My first iPhone was the 5s I’ve hold on to that from 2016-2022 when the mini was launch I was so excited to buy one and fair enough I did. Battery life is on the short side but one thing that my ownership with my 5s thought me is to always bring an external battery pack or powerbank w/ charger cable. I loved that 5s now that I own a 12 mini I really wanna make the best out of it.
Is it still worth to buy mate, like i don't wanna invest huge amount on 13 mini. I may use device for another 3-4 years what you say
@@Superboy_shivv It is 100% worth it. I have had mine for 2 years and the battery still lasts me all day.
Same here bro...i also upgraded from iphone 5s 16 gb to 12 mini128 gb🙂
@@rajdeepsamadder2000 guess it shows that there are people who really loves the small phone factor. Like us coming a 5s then finally upgraded to the 12 mini
@@gabydeleon99720 exactly
There is something just so nice, pleasant and soothing this review is. Fantastic video.
Ay, your cinematography is on a different level 🤯
Awesome video!, I love the style of your videos, and the fantastic editing. Keep up the good work!
What a quality review and video! You have a naturalness in how you present. Big ups dude, I’m definitely subscribing 🙌🏾
Awesome video ,I feeling the iPhone 12 Mini is the best compact phone since prices will drop, and good for those who do not want to maybe go in for an iPhone SE device
My iPhone 12 mini holds up fairly well in the battery department. My current BH is 86 % (after 19 months of usage). The degradation has seemed to slow down (at least according to the reader. The big battery suckers from this phone are: High speaker volume, high screen brightness outdoors, navigation (Google maps), Camera app (with drainage rates as fast as 1-2 percent a minute). Keep this in mind as the battery ages. The A14 can reserve tons of power, but applications that require a lot of power can drain the phone (sometimes in 2-3 hrs vs the standard 5-6 hrs)
Update: After 1 month, my battery health has fallen to 82 percent. Battery life has only diminished by a little bit.
what u use ur phone for ? u game? watch movies? .. 86% in less then 2 years sounds real bad to me
This channel is a banger
Thank you for the work
Honestly, 4-5 hours for battery would be perfect for me. I’m gonna be switching to a 12 mini from a 6s. My 6s will give me maybe 2-3 hours and I’m not exaggerating.
I i'm rocking an iphone se2 and i'm looking into upgrading to the 12 mini so this video was quite helful, thanks man!
Great explanation bro....love your cinematics
I just upgraded to 12 mini128 from my iphone 5s which was gifted by my father in 15 th b day in 2015. And i'm really happy with the same compact form factor where most of the smartphones r getting humungous daybyday. Actually i wanted a 13 mini but didn't permit my budget 😊
great , a question
do you have any problem with battery? i mean I'm not a Mobile gamer just for social media , Instagram, telegram, YT and ...
can battery last atlist one day ?
@@dannyeazye4538 not at all ...1 day on 1 charge easily. I usually make little bit videos with it still it makes 1 full day..with 20% left
@@rajdeepsamadder2000 wow , so i will buy it
thanks brother 🙏♥️
@@dannyeazye4538 welcome...can I know from which country u belong??
@@rajdeepsamadder2000 Russia
I think you should test the battery life in Wi-Fi and cellular respectively. Because browsing social through cellular network use more electricity
love the improvements!
U're doing such a great job..esp at such young age...keep growing 🤠💗
@ spixel your vid is why I got the 12 mini last year. Now I got the 13 mini. Good video I enjoyed it and remembered yoj
I like that my iPhone 12 mini is still a good phone and works. The only criticism I have for it is the battery life and health rapidly decreasing. I am currently at 86% maximum capacity after 15 months which is not the worst, but not the best. Screen time is still fairly good but you can kill it 3 times a day if it is used heavily. Apps to consider this with are mostly camera and gaming applications. Also keep in mind how you charge your phone and how you use it. It may affect your battery capacity
I’m at 82% at 10 months of usage. This phone sucks
@@jaywalker9357 I have heard of people in your situation. It's ridiculous!
Oh wow. That's a deal breaker for me. I was bout to get suckered into getting one. Thanks.
How much it can last if do 4k recording & editing?
@@fireflames8791 not so much. The 12 minis battery is still a little bit better (brand new with 100% maximum capacity). This is also based on certain battery tests that involve “light usage” (browsing social media), texting, etc… Expect different results if you are a heavy user. If you want to know more, I can share links to videos reviewing the phone (specifically a battery review).
Great video! Where I can find the case that your iPhone have in the video? I love it.
Ok. Not gonna lie. The battery isn’t the best. But, it’s by far the nicest phone I ever had. I was a die hard Android user (Google Pixel) and suddenly I woke up and decided to try an iPhone.
It feels so smooth, so durable and made to last. I love that! I even don’t use a case because the materials don’t really scratch that fast. I’m truly disappointed that the 14 doesn’t have any mini version lined up.
Never thought my 11 Pro battery life was anything special. Mini can’t be much worse, I’m sold. Still digging the Midnight color?? Thinking the new green or possibly blue, between the 3.
Slap on a MagSafe battery pack and you’re good to go. Although, could be considered a hassle but to fit everything into that form factor, you have to sacrifice on the battery. Awesome video!
Link to your iPhone case?
12 mini purple is my dream phone and i got it last christmas🎉😂😅 Thanks G.
Did you get it?
you just got a sub from me. I loved your video and this is my first time seeing your channel.
How is the multimedia content consumption? Watching Netflix and CZcams? How does it performance in this regard? After 2 days or 3 days of buying it?
Another iPhone 12 mini fan here. Great content. Subscribed
I think the 13 mini is much better when it comes to battery life and longevity
I agree!
Yes, but not to the point to consider a switch if having the 12min in your pocket 🫰
@@wagenneunundvierzig true, i just suggested for people who are looking to buy a 12 😁
13 Mini is expensive hence the real affordable competition is between SE 3 vs 12 mini..
It’s official, the iPhone mini is gone.
To me its battery life is no worse than my previous 11, so I'm satisfied
u think so? i am about to switch from 11 to 12mini? I am not sure about 13mini cause of the price difference, but if there is a huge huge gap i will take the 13mini tho
@@zaklettrezvenik am also going to switch to 12 mini from 11 is there any problem with battery or anything else please reply i am worried about battery after seeing too many negative reviews about battery.
Just switched from the 12 mini to the 14 pro. As much as I loved the size of the 12 mini, the battery basically made it unusable after only 1,5 years of use
I can relate! I’ve just purchased a iPhone 13, after a year and half my battery health was at 86%, I really didn’t want to change but I couldn’t stand the battery anymore…
@@demibatchelder665 just change the battery
@@newreign changed the battery on my 12 mini after a year, less than a year from that it was getting super annoying again. That was with an official replacement as well.
@@BahhBahhBrownSheephow long does it last
Alot of those who complained about batt degradation in 12 mini was mostly charged by fast charger and wireless charging. I think slow charger can solve that issue.
Dude im buying iphone why i should charge it slowly? What is the logic behind it. Even many cheaper phones have fast chargin.
@@erdem5905 There's a very clear logic behind it - to prevent battery degradation. Nobody is forcing you, so feel free to not do so. Fast or wirelessly charge to your heart's content.
Lol. My 2020 phone can charge with 120w and after 3 years of usage, still no sign of degradation, at all. 15 minute of charging, last all day
Cmon apple.
The new lens goes crazyy
This guys is so good. Very interesting 🙌
The video is really good ✌🏻
Been running on a iPhone SE 2016 for about 2 to 3 years now, moving 'back' to it from an iPhone 8 Plus, I just had it replaced by T-mobile. I love the size, but I understand that it will slowly be phased out, no more updates and I have noticed some sluggish network issues. So moving to the 12 mini over the older first gen SE would be good for me, as far as battery, the SE last me all day, but I do carry a battery pack designed for the iPhone. I think I will make the move to the 12 mini based on price, if I can find a 13 mini, better, definitely not moving to the 14, don't like the new SIM design.
👍❤
iPhone SE 2016 →
iPhone 12 Mini & 13 Mini..
Great video, how much does it cost tho?
Bro Your Voice is so clear!
Gears?
I can see the inspiration from MKBHD but in a good way. The quality of your content deserves at least a million subs 👍❤️
One thing I’m curious about is how is the call quality on the 12 mini? On a regular 12 I had last year it was so horrible and full of static i had to get rid of it. The obvious trade off is battery life but that’s to be expected with a smaller phone.
Hey what was the giveaway man? Was it a 12 mini?
I don't know which model buy, the iPhone 12 mini or the 13 mini. Does really exist a big differences between this two?
SE 2022 vs 12 mini - what would be your take? Thanks
Changed to 12 mini just yesterday from an 11 it's definitely snappier...also the camera is definitely an upgrade the 0.5 on 11 was so bad I barely use it. If your hands hurt with big phones this is perfect. But the battery is really so-so
do u think still worth to buy this 2024? planning to buy bcs it's within my budget
@@irisjuria5876 if it fit your needs and dont want bulky phone I suggest getting the 13 mini I think that makes more sense but if ur on a budget 12 is ok the camera is better than the 11 that's the only thing good about it :)) battery life is really bad honestly
@@irisjuria5876 for me it's definitely better than an 11 (camera wise) but the battery life is so bad you have to carry around a powerbank but also I love how small it is and can literally fit anywhere
My work phone is a 12 mini. I really like it. If I were a real stickler for the form factor I would get another mini for my personal. It reminds me of the smaller iPhones like the 5 and 2016 SE, before apple was pressured to make it all bigger. The only issue I have now is as I get older my thumbs get fatter, so I have to be very precise when typing. I try my best not to use autocorrect. English grammar is hard enough, even as a native speaker, can’t lose that skill!
Nice video!
Does this iphone 12 mini have better battery life than your iphone xs?
Umm…yeah, I think I get about an hour more of SOT
Your intro looks professional
Excellent content
Solid content 🔥on point
Battery life is a killer for 12 mini. Small screen is also a compromise that didn’t work for me.
That was helpful!!
Elder please bring the comparison between I phone 11 vs 12mini ; deep request
I am using a galaxy A52s 5G should I change to iPhone 12 mini
This is like mkbhd level quality here keep it up
FINALLY a techer that ACTUALLY explained how the batter life works.. instead of those dumb MODERATE usage or DEPENDS on this or that ... i personally use twitter insta, some cam some msgs and some music but just on walks .. no videos no gaming .. so with that in mind, if i could do a 5 sot that would be awesome! cause i have a sot ,the digital wellbeing says it anyway , that i have sot /day from 3-3.1/2 h ,so if i could manage 5h sot thats great, any1 oppinions on that?
I noticed something that it's getting heated up while normal calling for about 10min and also random use for about 15min is it common for all 12 minis or else?
So Im looking for a second hand cheap iphone that feels modern and will live for some years... was considering this one, but the battery stuff sounds depressing.... What phone should I be picking up instead? thnx
I use the 12 Mini, battery life is sub-par but still quite decent. I mean, everyone talking about the phone’s battery life is talking about it in comparison to the other “big guys” which makes it obvious. But you’d do well to get the 13 Mini if this one still doesn’t sit well with you.
I just bought it and ive noticed that it is constantly warm.
And when i charged it for the first time it was kinda overheating? Is this normal for a new phone?
I just use this for calls and text and sreaming music,Would the battery be fine for that throughout the day?
I like your way of presentation.
Nah guys 12 mini’s battery backup ain’t that bad.. i mean i am on 88 and it lasted more than 5 hours still had 20 % left..!
Hey bruh, my screen usage is of only an hr of Insta and then ig few hrs of Yt , I'm not a heavy user ,i play games occasionally ,(once a month) , so i wanna buy it in 2023 Holi sale , ,can u please just tell me that What price can i expect for 128gb Variant?
Great vid
5G is the biggest battery killer for the 12 mini. The 5G auto setting does not help either as it primary uses 5G compared to LTE. I just set it to LTE for normal use unless I am uploading or downloading something.
Hey bro, mine 12 mini’s earpiece is louder than the main speaker when i hear songs and others . How to fix?
Regards ❤️
The goat! 🫡
Nahh that’s cap! You’re 13 mini review was soo good I loved it!
love this phone. went to an authorized seller in my country and said it was discontinued already. thinking whether i go with se22 or i'll try to find second hand of this
Feels honest
My iPhone 12 mini is getting better 5G speeds than my Samsung S21! Which is a huge surprise. 💯🤯
I would say 5.8 screen size is perfect
underrated channel ;)
hi spixle
would iPhone 12 mini be a great secondary phone ?
Yeah I think so!
Appreciate your reply man..
Nice content 👍, BTW what's your name brother 😄
Mine the speakers are muffled sounding compared to when I first got it. They are clean as well idk how to fix it
I just want to point out something about this phone when going outside, please bring a powerbank. If you looking to spend the rest of your day outside hanging out (which I do, a lot). It bound to die without any charging. There also the problem with the phone getting really hot but I think it just my environment
ì love your videos
I'm using 12mini. The biggest issue I'm facing is with the battery. After 13 months my battery health is 85%. I use it every day with 3-4hours of Netflix. planning to buy a new model because of the battery issue.
Ughhh I'm getting that phone for Christmas.. I was excited bc I didn't know abt these problems. But now I'm not too excited 😭
@@dollyjoyyget the 13 mini
If you brorw charger then its ok to use its been one and half year and my battry life is 87 and its good to use
is it good to buy a used iPhone 12 mini with 92% BH for $410 in India, as I live in India
Real competition is between A15 vs A14 like SE 3 vs 12 mini. Both of em having 5G makes the choice tough. SE 3 is being sold offline around ₹37500 recently i think.
Share the link for that case please XD
Just traded my iPhone 12 mini to 13 mini because the battery life is horrendous after 2 years. My battery health was at 80 % after 2 years
About to reach 2 years on regular 12 next month and it has 82% health
Sheeshhh this some high teir shit. Awesome video!
Your review is better than MKBHD 👍
could you please somehow show the size difference between mini and x?
just search up 12 mini(5'4) or 11 pro (cuz x and pro same size being 5'8)
I want 2/3 x zoom portrait lens we never needed wide angle coz we have panorama mode to get wider pics
It is not dust resistant. It is snot smudge resistant.
Did you know the iphone 12 mini screen is only 12.5% smaller than the regular iphone 12 screen but it looks alot more smaller than what it is? but it isnt....
If you don't mind me asking, but are you from Bangladesh? Sorry my question bothers you :"3
Hey bro are you from india?
the icons on the top right is a little to cramped
9:02 Relatable!
💀
A small correction has to be done between sir
Iphone se 3 holds a size of 4.7”
Whereas 12 mini extends till 5.4”
So do not confuse people with that
Thank you
2:26 I writing it down 😂It's not easy 😃
Wait for the 6.7 inch iPhone 14 model instead of the 5.4 inch iPhone 12 model

Rules for using the minis:
No heavy gaming
No big hands
No people with poor vision
No people who enjoy speaker listening
Other than that… get the 13 mini just trust me trust me!!
The screen is brighter, speaker is better, and the battery will truly last longer and that can’t be stressed enough. The battery on the 12 mini is a joke I’m warning you lol. Trust me please go directly to 13 mini.
