So....Jason, my daughter (13 nearly 14) needs a new phone to replace her ageing Samsung S7 edge. Unfortunately she has been brainwashed into thinking Apple=cool at school 😂, would you recommend this over a pixel 4a or 4a 5g for example. Based on UK prices 4a is £319, 4a 5g is £499 and iPhone 12 mini is £699. Anything else you’d recommend?

So many worry about the battery life. I have watched loads of these iPhone reviews and settled on the white mini. I have had it for two days now and I love it. Today it was on 100% charge this morning. I have used it periodically through the day to view email, linked in messages, texts, what’s app and the news. I have been using it solidly for an hour this evening and by 8pm tonight it was on 74% battery. Hope that helps anyone out there wondering. I bought the Apple California Poppy case, it looks great with the white camera poking through.

Very nice I’m sure the colour combination looks amazing. I’m a little worried about battery to be honest I’m coming from a iPhone XS so it’s two years old I’m not happy with the battery at all. Thanks for the insight, that makes me feel a lot better about the battery. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Mine 12 mini lasts 3h SoT from 100% to 20%... I have no idea how yours lasts this long with 74% left. My % runs out very quickly, for example now I watching netflix and in 10mins 5% disappeared (Wifi, 30% brightness).

I’ve had mine for almost a month and it’s so great! It’s compact but has great speed and picture quality. The only downfall is the battery but you’re likely to be on your phone less than the average user if you’re aiming for a smaller phone. I couldn’t be more satisfied! People make fun of it for its size but I think it’s a step in the right direction for apple with variations in choice.

But way better than 5s. In fact, my friends from Romania are owners of Samsung and IPhone 6s and my Cambodian friend has 5s. Honestly, they are so jealous of me getting the 12 mini for only 120 CAD on Black Friday. To be honest, I’m at the same time proud and sad. I’m proud because of my opportunity of being able to own the 12 mini but also sad because my friends are stuck with 2012 craps just because their parents aren’t willing to get them one or missed out on the crazy discount period. Speaking of the size, I really love small things. They are easy to handle and most of the time, adorable.

Bought this last week. My first ever smartphone! I've been resisting an upgrade for decades, using Nokia 3310 and similar 1990 phones. So using the iphone 12 mini as you can imagine is like stepping out of the dark ages. Don't tell anyone but I love this phone!

How do you feel about the size being a little smaller then the xs that’s what I have right now. How do you find the battery compared to xs?

[@herb414]

@@Paa375 I came from the iPhone X and battery life is similar for regular use, however, if you are playing games or doing anything intensive it is a bit easier to kill. I can usually finish a day with 10-40% depending on what I am doing. I can kill it in a day if I try, but I could do that on my X too. Size is great. I carried the 12 mini for a week, and then tried to use my X and it felt HUGE! The only thing I miss is the stainless steel sides from my X, which made the device feel much more luxurious than the aluminum on the 12 mini. It's a tradeoff I am willing to accept, as the steel is pretty hefty and would make the 12 mini quite a bit heavier if they had put steel on it instead. I would recommend finding someone who has the 12 mini and holding it before you buy it, so that you can get a feel for its compactness.

If you have the option I’d definitely try out the iPhone 12 mini. The battery isn’t as bad as some like to say and this thing is a beast. I knew I wanted it when it was leaked back in April. You won’t regret the upgrade to the iPhone 12 mini.

I would recommend your channel to my friends sir. You are best reviewer

[@Chelsss703]

Watching on my mini! The perfect size 👏🏻

Well, your child is very cute though 💕💕

appreciate it!

It’s a masterpiece of art and technology. Got it today. Love it! Which case do you guys recommend?

[@josejalapeno7123]

Are you a minimalist,? I’d recommend the totalee. It’s a thin case

[@CodyMcDonald89]

I just got my mini today as well coming from a Samsung galaxy 10 size is small but feels much nicer for sure. Isn’t the screen and back of phone have a coating so it doesn’t scratch easily or is everyone still getting back cases and a screen protector?

[@Bluschwek13]

@@CodyMcDonald89 the front part has ceramic coating that is more shatterproof but in terms of scratch resistance its similar to previous models so screen protector and case or skin for the back is probably a good idea

[@pdhobbies660]

If you like to be low profile and have protection, I'd say Spigen liquid air is a good choice, or just any cases from spigen

good luck JSL for your great video

Mine is coming in today!! Cant wait to use it!!

[@deu8894]

You just sold me on this phone. So long as I can get a day's worth of battery life. I'm good to go.

[@ish2000]

Buy it, it’s worth it.

[@chvrleshd]

Hmmm it’s good but you’d have to consider how the battery will perform when the battery health depletes

[@anderbeau]

That GIANT camera bump though 😂

[@vaibhavsaxena1084]

Phones these days are just cameras with other features.

[@Oldmansland1]

I have bigger hands but I’ve always loved smaller phones. I have an iPhone 8 now and can’t wait to upgrade to the 12 mini.

[@ZacharySound]

No one ever tests ANY fundamental functions of the iPhones. No KZbinr reviewer ever tests/compares signal strength, call quality, drop calls vs other models... Its always about the camera or the screen or something else that has nothing to do with it being a phone. These are big factors that matter first and foremost. Not everyone lives in large metropolitan area with a cell tower every 10 square miles. I work at a national park and there aren't that many cell towers to cover the entire area. I setup and distribute about 25 iPhones every year to employees. Much of the time there is only about 2 bars of signal strength. How well the phone can it function for data and call quality at low signals is a big deal. Especially since many of these phones go to law enforcement staff. Just my 2 cents.
