iPhone 12 mini in 2024 - Real Day in the Life Review!

[@lmuacky3793]

Had it since launch and I'm still rocking it, replaced the battery a month ago and planning to use it for another 2+ years, absolutely love the size, battery gets me through the full day with around 5 hours of SOT and ends up with around 30% at the end of the day

[@ballooneyjr4294]

How?? I had it for 2 years did a battery replacement and it went to 90% within 6 months… I got the 13 mini and the battery is way better. I guess I used it a lot for roadtrips, to take the bus and listen to music etc tho

[@lmuacky3793]

@@ballooneyjr4294 since you mentioned road trips might be because of heat, that degrades battery A LOT, also letting them reach 0%

[@bayhillmusic]

i got the exact same experience, absolutely love the 12 mini

[@pinky1933]

I owned the 13 mini and loved everything except the battery life. And the 12-13 mini had the 5.4 inch screen but the 6-7-8+ all had the 5.5 inch screen so literally almost the same viewing area. But so much less bulk.

[@abaa1893]

Battery life not too bad compared to size actually

[@pinky1933]

@@abaa1893 very true and if I wasn’t a heavy user I would think better of it. But at work I would have it running in the background with podcasts or KZbin video. If I had it on a charger during that time it would have been no problem.

[@jarovdavila3345]

I have the iPhone 12 mini and I think the same

[@unboxings5218]

I used to have a 13 mini and upgraded to a 15 Pro. I got used to the 15 Pro size but then since I gave my sister my 13 mini I asked her if we could switch phones for a week, and she agreed. I’m back on my 15 Pro after a week and honestly loved the 13 mini only things missing were telephoto lens, Dynamic Island, 120hz, action button, and USB-C. (Obviously so much more but these are the only ones I noticed). Now my 15 Pro feels huge for some reason even though I was used to the size before.

[@Moviehotspot_0]

it will feel normal in a week or 2 don't worry 😅

[@mysterymarley4085]

I got 12 mini in green 5 months ago with 256gb and it was at 88% battery health now it’s at 84% and I love it. I’m not trying to spend much money to get the battery replaced just yet so I got a mophie battery pack case and it’s good all day. It’s a great phone

[@vlutous2003]

does it jitters sometimes?

[@Cosmicagreenred]

Where did you buy it please?

[@Sammeep02]

I've had my purple 12 mini for the past 2 years and it's been awesome:3 Only downside I can think of is that cases are SUPER hard to come by at in-person stores. which baffles me since cases for the XR, XS Max and the like are still readily available.

[@justbulma]

Just got the iPhone 12 mini and I absolutely love it it’s the perfect size for me

[@galihmukti]

How’s the battery life?

[@mythri3026]

it least 8 9 hour max with in heavy use

is iphone 12 mini still good in 2025? i'm planning to buy it

[@gavin3521]

you can buy them used

[@iMax1975]

Good gawd, why does the 12 mini's pictures and video look noticeably better than even the iPhone 15 to me??? wow (I don't own the 12 mini - I have owned the iPhone 15 Pro Max.)

Thank you for this honest review.

[@PaulJacksonOttawa]

Great video . Thanks for making this one.

[@tailuong6591]

really nice review, tks

[@Twinflame915]

He did it!!!!

[@D_Daniel-15]

Very good and informative review 🎉

[@Adityautane]

I think they should bring back iphone mini as iphone se in next generation

[@TheXDGorillas]

Yeah thats a good idea

[@mbovb006]

I got my battery replaced at the Apple store and the difference was night and day. I now get to end of day with heavy usage with about 20% remaining. One thing that does still kill the battery is phone calls which is... ironic lol. But everything else from social media to videos? I can get anywhere from 20-50% by eod.

[@DarthCiliatus]

How much was the battery replacement?

[@Idrk-nf4kz]

Around £80 or $90

[@blablaba1871]

Just got a used one for $150.

[@DerrickGerard]

do you think it's worth getting one for 130€

[@sarthakgawari1381]

@@DerrickGerard yeah !

[@r.alheydary]

@@DerrickGerardput another 200 ontop of that and you can get a 13 pro max much better decision

bro, here in philippines, used iphone 12 mini is worth like $300

[@Robogamer7142]

I had a 12 mini but yesterday I sold it for a 15 I’m kinda sad but it’s for the storage 😢

[@AlfonzoFrohicky_]

my phone has literally nothing on it anymore because I had to delete all the apps for storage, its so bad lmao. (I tried moving photos over but only like half actually go onto my computer so yeah)

[@chang.07]

Literally what I’m going through rn. This phone is perfect, but the storage almost taken so I’m now looking at iPhone 15

[@ForMe-24]

Should i buy it right now? or are there any good phones for this price?

[@NAme-u1o]

appreciate your work👏

[@imanyacob1186]

I use 12 mini and it still powerfull until now 🎉

[@cinetic81]

AHHH the black iPhone 5 - so stealth! One of my fav colors, but of course the 5S was a much much better device.

[@stephaniestokes8602]

I have the mini 12 since it came out. It’s been a great phone and just now having some issues with the battery and the charging port. Looking at the iPhone 16

[@ravinaferrer7426]

i love this so much!!!! iphone mini coming up

[@TheLastDayofthesun]

Thanks!

[@unboxings5218]

When you do these reviews does 60hz bother you since I see you also do pro models?

[@37izzu]

The fact that this phone has the least battery capacity and you're not even turn low power mode on for the whole usage is crazy. Me could never even though mine is iPhone 13 pro. I only got about 6hrs screen on time with low power mode on with current 83% battery health

[@0xVlad]

6h with LTE/5G? or WIFI? Coz my 11 with 85% can do 7+h screen time on WIFI

[@37izzu]

@@0xVlad with LTE actually cause I dont have wifi at my home

[@emilsecker7881]

Are you planning on getting a new MacBook Pro soon? I noticed you’re still using a 2017 model. While macOS Ventura is still supported for now, it won’t be by the end of next year

using it rn i have the 64G version and battery is not that great especially with ios 17.5 and 18beta i went from 94% to 81% in 7 months if u going to use it for gaming it heats up easily and battery drains rapidly overall a good phone i think ill only replace the battery by the end of this year

[@eilve14]

please do in iphone 12 too

[@redbirdsandfriends8499]

The iPhone 12 mini has always been a mini powerhouse, however, how does it compare battery wise to the bigger iPhone 12 models?

[@Thevamp1reking]

Save up and buy a 15 in cash. I know you don’t want to, but you should. Don’t rush to get a new shiny iPhone like I did. Apples fucking us again, all this new ios 18 shit coming out and we can’t even get the game new AI they released, finally made Siri smart and anyone on a 14 pro and lower won’t get a single taste of that new tech.

[@jairusdeleon8915]

about 1 hour less with the regular 12 and 12 Pro, 13 mini too. Not much difference.
