For the battery, I got a full day out of mine yesterday even though I went golfing and use the app on my phone to track my round. This means I was using the GPS for 3 and 1/2 hours. Then I used it to answer emails and texts throughout the day. I ended with 5 hours of on screen time and still had 20% or more battery left at the end of the day. I was in 5G, 4G, as well as NO SERVICE (for at least 30 minutes) areas during the day. No way i'm complaining about the battery life. I'm actually shocked it lasted that long.

Nice review. It has been just 4 yrs since iPhone X (released Sept 2017) with 5.8-in display. This was the first ‘big’ display phone and took at least 1 more year for people to ‘adapt’ this size screens. I cannot believe a 5.4in (iPhone 12 mini) is considered a size that people needs to adapt back and consider display size a drawback.

Do you think it is better than iPhone 11?

[@AlexVassiosOfficial]

@@montasersweiti5919 I've never used the 11. But I would venture to say yes absolutely. The new processor and internals alone are enough to make it better. Combined with a new design (which some people may not prefer) and a smaller size, it's a completely different phone. For me, the 11 wasn't exciting enough to make a switch, but the 12 makes it way more compelling.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

Same, it’s so similar to my previous favorite, the iPhone 5s. I’ve been hoping for an iPhone 5 layout with edge to edge display since the iPhone X was released. In a world of tablet sized phones I love that Apple made a phone for people who don’t want 6” displays. I just hope due to disappointing sales and Apple canceling production of the 12 mini that Apple doesn’t move away from making a smaller screen model in the future.

I switched form a mini to an iPhone12. I wanted to love the mini, but battery life mainly killed it. I did everything I could to minimize battery life, but still would not last even 2/3rds of my use day. I had also forgotten the frustration I had with the earlier iPhone 4/5 with keyboard size. Apple allows you to swap out the phone with just the price difference, so if you want to try the mini, do it and then you can always upgrade if you can't live with the compromises.

[@nursyazana1855]

how much did u pay for the swap? im using the mini and im thinking abt trading with the iphone 12

[@CMA1967]

Honestly, this guy just nails it. Personality plus. I almost want to trade the old xs

[@maxstechnology6363]

Old?

MAN.....iPhone 12 mini IS UNDERRATED I LOVE THIS MACHINE AND ACTUALLY, SOON I'LL BE SWITCHING TO iPhone 12 mini

[@808Affliction]

SAME! This iPhone 12 mini is the best phone I ever had, I love it so much!!!

[@KorbenDallas2024]

I got one this 2023. Ideal screen where you can see everything clearly even watching movies or series. I'll never understand why people insist on giant screens that look more like a laptop in the pocket or purse. Ideal size for a cell phone as they were always meant to be. I really don't know at what point everyone preferred to carry those mastodons in their pockets. When you feel the power of the iphone 12 mini and use it, you will never miss giant screens.

[@Crasho327]

I just got the blue model with 128 gb. I do love the size and the flat sides. The OLED screen is awesome but I would love them to finally bring always on display for the clock. Not a big deal but it's a nice feature I'm wishing for.

Thinking about switching from my 11 pro to the mini, i loved my old SE and the 11 pro is a bit too big for me

[@JoleneAliciaElias]

same! i have the 11 pro but its heavy and too big for my hands, thinking of getting the mini

[@hobbitpsi]

The 12 mini is only .4 inches smaller than the 11 pro, but if you're looking for a better reason to switch from the 11 pro to the 12 mini or any 12 it would be the Qualcomm modem in the 12. It gets better signal than the 11 series which used Intel.

I go from iphone 6 to 12mini and it's awesome. So many new features and the most important thing for me is the design (like iphone 5) and the size is perfect. Very comfortable. Only thing I miss is the touchID.

My fiancé just got the 12 mini and he LOVES it. I have the XR but I’m trying to wait until the 13 or 14 to upgrade.

[@lylehutz]

Love the size and specs of the phone, but every time I try to switch, I just miss the customization of android too much.

[@naimr.4301]

I think in the 2020's smaller phones will make a comeback

[@TheEverydayDad]

I certainly hope so, if I want a tablet I'll bring my iPad 🤣

[@hobbitpsi]

I dunno, every single person I work with have held my mini and all of them handed it back with a look of disgust. I think those of us who wanted a smaller phone are still a niche group and think it's mainly an age group.

[@scootpoyo9734]

Nah. Whats the point having small phone with the same price as bigger phone from last gen. Thats stupid. Easy money made by Apple.

[@hobbitpsi]

@@scootpoyo9734 When the internals in said smaller phone is better than than the last gen bigger phone and is the same as this years bigger phone, the price makes sense.

[@ejakaegypt]

Duh because apple made the mini, now the rest will follow

[@LorDarkGoose]

It's also the only phone for me but yes battery life, could be a bit thinner- and that notch on the top. I've realised the smaller size enables me to enjoy my other hobbies more. Having it with- being out in nature whether on the bike or on a walk. It's great.

Was actually stuck between the pro max and mini. Ended up going for the max only (and I can’t stress this enough) for battery life. As this is device for work and everything between casual and heavy load.

[@samiam3291]

I had to get a phone right away two years ago so I got the XR. I hated the weight and the size and every time I tried to answer the phone I hit buttons or the mute button and it was always frustrating. When I first held the I 12 mini I thought finally Apple reverted back to a very comfortable phone. Obviously I bought it immediately and have been very pleased with it ever since.

This is the modern iPhone that imagine Steve Jobs would have created. It definitely fits his vision of having a very powerful device that’s still able to easily fit in your hand.
