    • @leov666
      @leov666 Před 3 lety +81

      Just FYI. I got the Mini and its screen is actually ~2mm narrower than my 7 (despite being much longer). This affects both the size of text browsed vertically and 16:9 videos in horizontal mode. It may be ok for many, but I returned mine -- the vanilla 12 may be a better upgrade, as the 19.5:9 ratio is a bit extreme for a tiny phone.

      I actually just enjoy smaller phones in general. The only reason I like bigger phones is because of the better battery life that can last a whole day comfortably with the notch taking up less of the screen.
      I like the idea of being able to reach every corner of my phone. Definitely something I've missed since I have a note 9. Nice for games at least.

    I picked mine up yesterday. As soon as I got it out of the box I was like “Wow, that is tiny!” Form factor-wise it reminds me of the iPhone 5, but with no home button. I took my iPhone SE (2020) out of its case and the mini fits completely within the front panel of the SE. A lot of my coworkers have the original SE as their work phone so I’m anxious to see the size difference between those two phones. I wanted the mini mostly because I do a majority of my mobile stuff on my iPad (also mini).

      me, watching in the future as the mini phones got nuked and the base iPhone has a big version:
      but in all seriousness im pretty bummed that they didnt come out with a 14 mini. it makes sense though because the 13 and 12 minis made up less than 5% of sales, and since the minis were the cheapest, they definitely had less than 5% of the profit, not to mention apple can keep manufacturing the same chassis and screens for the normal and "max" sized phones every year, so it's cheaper. with the mini they need to manufacture a whole new thing, because they haven't made a similar phone before

    I've just bought my iPhone 12 Mini and I think it was the best decision so far. The last iPhone that I had was the iPhone 4 around 2011 and to be honest, I didn't stay with iPhones mainly because of their price and because you can really find some fine android phones for less money. The issue for me lately was that phones seemed to get bigger and bigger if you want to have the most up-to-date stuff but when I saw the 12 mini in a store, I saw was I was looking for these couple of years. A really good phone, easy to carry and handle, nice camera, nice screen, and it just looks good.
    It was a no brainer ... had to go back to iPhone and buy this one. I'm really happy!

    Great review! I’ve been using smaller iPhones throughout the years. I first had the iPhone 5s and then I upgraded to the iPhone SE (2016 model) in 2017. In any case, I held off on purchasing a new iPhone for three years because one hand typing and portability were exceedingly important to me in a smart phone. It’s so nice to be able to hold a cup of Starbucks coffee in one hand, while typing a message with the other hand. Convenience like that is pretty much lost on larger, phablet sized phones. That said, I recently upgraded to the 12 mini (product red, to support COVID relief efforts) and I’m pretty happy with it. I can reach all parts of the screen with my thumb and one-hand typing is still comfortable. Although, I still believe that the 5s/SE was the perfect size for a compact phone. I would love for Apple to offer that form-factor again. As for the battery life on the 12 Mini, I always carry around an external battery and a fast charger, anyway.

      What are your battery reviews?? How long does it lasts? And how many times do you charge it in a day?

    As a 'light' user, I was looking out to switch from a 7 to a 13 Mini at the release of iPhone 14 (knowing there will be no more mini starting with iPhone 14). As it happened, I found a really great deal on an iPhone 12 mini (well, my wife did) so I checked the specs, compared them and decided to go for that which saved me a lot of money. I'm really happy with it but I completely agree, don't buy this phone if you're a 'heavy' user as the battery will drain. I don't care really, It feels great. Funny enough, it's slightly smaller than the iPhone 7 but with a larger (mainly height) screen real estate so it's a little getting used to the slightly smaller keyboard but so happy with it and looking forward to try out the camera quality on our next trip.
