@@SiddarthSenthilMurugan I personally think that it is, I absolutely love mine and the cost hurt (of course, it’s an iPhone), but after about 5 months of use, my phone is running just like day one. My 6s after 6 months? Not so much.

[@justjoe78]

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).

[@seanmw23]

I have an 8. and it’s boggles me crazy how the 12 mini is smaller than the 8 yet bigger screen. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

[@leov666]

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.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

It's not hard to grasp. The screen takes the place of the bezel. That's all. There are laptops that have 14 inch screens in a 13 inch laptop body.

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'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!

[@kellerflanagan3404]

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

[@DreamOfFlying]

​@@kellerflanagan3404Yep. At some point the cameras won't even fit into a smaller phone...

[@jackstanford3966]

@@nilimaroy9246 What there is a battery case already, can you link?

[@Odysseus201]

It’s also a smaller screen, which draws less power. Overall, I think it will have less battery life than the regular iphone 12, but I don’t expect it to be as dramatic a difference as everyone is making it to be. I’d like to see a battery comparison though, we’ll see

Love how the stuff in the background is MINI as well. HAHHAHAHAHA

[@bradleylewis300]

Personally I got this for my birthday yesterday AND I LOVE IT

[@salvadorgutierrez7373]

Holy crap!! He has mini versions of items in his background and max versions of then in his iphone max review. Boosted board mini here, and the full size boosted board in the other.

Omg That intro and editing 😱. Awesome video as always

[@d_ar_k_sta_r1551]

I love how there's a "mini" boosted board in the background.

[@AdanFerrariMentality]

I’ve has an iPhone 7 for a while now and I like the size of it as its just easier to use. I want to get the iPhone 12 Mini because of the size as its just generally better than the 7 my considerable margins. Great to see a good review!

Love all the Easter eggs in the background of both videos, small things in the mini review (boosted board, plant, air pods, tiny android figure and note pad) the intro was also beautiful

[@evansymon5376]

I watched every video you put up on the iPhone 12. I went with the 12 pro mainly because of a deal AT&T was running and the fact I don’t upgrade every year. This will be my phone for the next 3-4 years.

[@djarthurlooby]

It’s refreshing using a more compact phone. If I really need to do anything that requires a bigger screen. Then u use a tablet laptop iPad or so. There really isn’t a need for overly bulky large phones.

[@charliemonte2120]

I like what you did with the Boosted Board in the back of the max and mini videos! Good touch with the mini s :)

[@taariq_]

I love how the items in the background changes for the max and the mini.

[@gretchenlittle6817]

Great review! Some of these "reviewers" can't decide whether they're comedians or reporters. Nice to get useable information!

[@MarcelDaems]

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.

[@RedNeck_Zeus]

Love the design and small size. Looking forward to future generations. Adding the mini to the iphone lineup was a smart move for apple.

[@SnakePlissken001]

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.

I remember when minis were the go to counterpart to its flagship brother back in like 2014. It’s awesome.

[@fliP13]

Fun fact: The first “Mini” Phone by Apple has almost the exact same dimensions as the last “Mini” phone by Samsung.

[@AdventVFX]

If it drops in price enough in the future I’ll definitely consider this version because although big screens are nice this phone’s design and how compact it is makes it so nice

[@tanyeeast]

I’m so excited for mine to come in today. I finally get a small flagship. Being a person with tiny hands it will be perfect.

[@sanjayoak4416]

You have tremendous understanding of the Phones you review. Your thoughts about customer point of view are also good, rather very good.

Is anyone going to talk about how SICK that intro was, like damn!!!

[@fernandoalvarez9613]

I got the mini for 2 reasons 1. It has the same SoC as the other models while supporting fewer features so it’ll run better later on 2. It has the sharpest screen of the 4 models, highest dpi to be exact,

[@solarsloth7724]

Been using the green 12 mini for a year, its great, i like small stuff

[@Angiebeau]

I love your reviews they’re honest and detailed. Thank you x

[@danielearly1667]

Love the boosted mini in the background of this review whereas the Pro Max review had the full boosted/V2 board.
