Just switched from the 11 pro max to the 12 mini, I don’t regret it one bit. We’ve become so accustomed to large phones. The 12 mini is refreshing. If you are thinking about switching, do it.

[@andreearochezza]

How is the battery life? I m thinking of getting this or the regular 11

[@TacoCrisma]

@@EverydayManDan how is the camera compared to the 11 pro? I’ve got the 11 pro because I wanted a smaller phone, when this came out I was so tempted to get it but this phone has honestly had the best battery life of any phone I’ve owned. It’s tough to give that up, even if it’s slowly getting worse as time goes on.

[@EverydayManDan]

@@TacoCrisma so camera quality was definitely a factor in the trade off. You don’t get optical zoom, however personally for someone who takes occasional pictures (no photographer) I haven’t noticed a significant difference. I do have a Sony A6400 so if I ever need a picture that my iPhone mini can’t get I can use that. HOWEVER I have yet to find myself in the situation where I just need a better picture. The 12 mini does just fine and I doubt you’ll notice a compromise in quality. Hope this helped!

[@TacoCrisma]

@@EverydayManDan awesome, thanks for the reply! As time goes on I find I am taking less pictures with my phone in general - so many are just stored from phone to phone that I forget they even exist. I think if anything I just look for a nice contrast-y shot to capture the awe of whatever I’m looking at, then move on. I’ve honestly been considering starting to photograph with film again since I much prefer that look and it’s a physical media that sort of forces you to pay attention to it, unlike the 10,000 pictures in my gallery. Cheers!

The 12 mini has a good battery but people use cell phones too much..they are addicted to phones.

[@TamaraGirodie]

Great video Zach! I always love your vid style. The mini is my daily driver and has been since release and I absolutely adore it!!! There's nothing it can't do... When it has battery left lol. Honestly unless I'm gaming or having a photo heavy day the mini lasts me well into the night though. I love it!

[@MagnaTurban]

I’m buying that 13 mini. I was on the fence a little but watching this video convinced me. The compromises are small and for my own use cases, it’s perfect.

[@tamarisk1]

i dont see a reason in buying the 13 mini, pretty much the same specs, pretty much the same camera, way more expensive, a little thicker than the 12. if you really want an amazing small phone go with the 12 mini! 🙏

[@theyeshhh]

I currently use an iPhone 12. My initial though was to buy the iPhone 12 mini but the iPhone 12 released earlier and I went with the 12. Every time I go to an apple authorised store for some repairs, I always like to use the iPhone 12 mini for sometime in the store. It’s such a nice feeling to use such a compact phone. Great video, Zach! I loved the editing style and the shots were clean. And also, your voice is soothing! 😁

[@sotorkornoo]

I really liked hearing your opinion about the iPhone 12 mini. Very great video and really relaxing. I really like your style of videos. Good job :)

[@oneminutewonder77]

I think that the idea of a mini phone is great for some people. It's kind of incredible what they were able to put inside this device. I haven't used iOS now for a few years but I miss the easy one handed use of some of the older iPhone models. The iPhone 5 was one of their best devices ever.

[@BigglesAboutTown]

I went from using a 2016 SE that I was in love with, to using this one a week ago... Best decision ever. I hate the feel of huge phones. If I want a big screen I'll use my ipad or laptop. To use everyday I'd rather have a phone that feels like a phone. The pictures are incredible and I feel right at home with the size and grip because yes, I have small hands. Some part of me even wishes it was even smaller !!

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

Agree. I’m still using SE/2016. Wish mini was @5 inches. Getting 13 mini in sept, if it’s made. If not 12 mini.

i am so much satisfied with iphone 12 mini even after 6 months.. this is my first iphone and from it’s size perspective ,handiness and performance i am yet in love with my iphone.. I have never had this kind of love for any of the flagship android phone majorly after one month of using any flagship, it starts feelling old.. but iphone12 series is so good to hold in hand without a case, you need to hold it to experience it and haptics on iphone feels as if iphone in your hand has a soul… hopefully i am never moving back to android..

[@iwansevana6284]

I have owned the 12 Mini Blue since January and my experience with the phone is just fine in terms of specs and form factor. Coming from a regular-sized Android phone, I don't feel like either an upgrade or vice versa, it's just 'ok' with no regrets. But tbh everytime I see the Mini hands-on, it's always look like it's the ultimate tech power of what a mobile phone could achieve and its small form factor is what makes it very intriguing and tempting. Though I agree that the Mini's price is what had made the phone sales very low compared to the rest of the Apple's 12 Series line-up, the phone itself is just fine.

[@fredkumm1305]

Thanks for the video. I am still running the SE in July of 2022 and it is doing quite well. I had to have the battery replaced approx. 6 months ago. I had the iPhone 5 prior to that and there again, other than having the battery replaced once it is still running quite well also. The only problem is that Apple is not updating it any longer so the apps are slowly becoming nonfunctional. When I switched, the only reason that I did so was because my granddaughter’s android phone bit the dust so I gave it to her. A couple of years later she gave it back, so i had two phones and so I used the 5 as a PIM and internet device, which took some of the pressure off my SE.
