I went from the 2020SE to the 12-mini... way better option for me. My main issues with the 2020SE were battery life and the cameras... everything about the 12 mini seems to be an upgrade.

My comparison today is between the 1st Generation SE (that I’ve had for 3.5 years) to the iPhone 12 mini (that I unboxed this morning). The mini is super fast and the screen is so nice! Basically the same feel in the hand because the square edge design is similar to both. The mini is slightly larger than the 1gen SE.

No. Poor camera review. The photo quality is incredibly similar. The difference you need to look for is low light. That is where the Mini shines. Not worth the price difference at all. The SE has an incredible camera. These reviewers hype things up to the point where many want to buy new phone every year. Not worth it.

[@reevanamin5865]

You've not taken the ultrawide and selfie camera into account.

[@Allbr3x]

@@reevanamin5865 The ultra wide is irrelevant. It’s a feature and doesn’t affect my overall assessment. The ultra wide quality is soft and is subpar at best. Reviewers often gloss this over because they receive review samples from the vendor. The selfie camera is not a deal breaker for me. The SE is good enough by a long shot. Now, the Mini is a better camera obviously, but not worth the additional cost. And like I mentioned, it’s better to zoom into photos to see true quality. That’s the key. Just looking at normal viewing size does very little. Try using a solid monitor and view these photos. You may be surprised at how good/bad they really are.

Yes and no. Sure it has the sharp edges of the old 5s but it is still edge to edge with minimal bezel and no physical button. It’s the physical button and bezel that make the SE look old. I recall when the physical button was dropped and was hesitant, but must say I got quite used to not having it and now prefer the edge to edge.

You forgot an important factor for the current - and any future - Pandemic Situation: FACE ID doesn't work with a friggin mask ON, dearies. For this current - and any future similar - scenario(s) (or just when you're sick and have finally learned to wear a face mask in order to protect people around you from your germ bubbles breathed, coughed or sneezed out), it would be WISE to have a TOUCH ID integrated into the screens (like Samsung has) in addition to Face ID. So, for the Pandemic, the iPhone SE is the better and safer Phone to get for the time being - at least until newer models will have an additional Touch ID integrated under their screens. Also, there is plenty of capacity for innovation for future iPhones and other (mobile) devices: - Graphene (or other Solid State) Batteries - an option for EMP-Protection (from Solar Storms, it's just a matter of time until a big one hits us - maybe even during [y]our Lifetimes still) for all devices in order to protect them from the next extreme Solar Storm, that's going to hit at some point soon within the next decades. Just to name two, that would make incredible sense and devices incredible endurable and future-proof for real.

I want neither and both to win. Contrary to popular belief, there is no single best phone, iPhone or otherwise. Best is relative to ones needs. Not which device has the latest hardware. For the majority of people who want a iPhone experience just about any one of the iPhones with home buttons on them will work perfectly fine. I say this because the majority of the iPhone owners I know are still using older iPhones. And I agree. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I still use my 6s/6s+ and they do everything I want and need. I have the 7+, 8+, 10, 10s, 10sMax, 11 and 11proMax. SIM card gets a workout going from phone to phone weekly. I consider myself a average user and can say from personal experience with all these devices that where day to day use is concerned there is no real difference between a $300.00 used iPhone and a new $1000.00 iPhone. The average user is better off getting a good used 6s and putting a good case on it. Seriously. It is possible if unlikely that the 6s might get another year of OS updates. Even if it doesn’t. It is normal for iOS to get security updates for a few years after the OS updates stop. This gives iPhones a relative lifespan of 6 to 7 years for updates. Not to mention all the Phones that are still in use that haven’t received any updates for years. Do yourself a favor. Know what you want to do with your phone. Are you ever going to use lidar? No? Don’t buy a 12, in fact don’t buy one anyway. Only apple can fix them, and why pay out the ars for the phone and then pay 3x more to have a broken screen fixed. Do you take lots of pictures, do they need to be studio quality? No and no? You might do well with a 6s+ or 7/+. If you need a better camera go with a 8/+ or SE2. Honestly, unless your some kind of technofile or you just absolutely have to have near studio quality pictures from your phone you probably don’t need more than a 7/+ or 8/+ why spend more if you don’t need to.

I went to the store and tried all the sizes. Even though I’m 6’4 and have big hands, mini feels much better than 12 and pro max. I use the phone in one hand 90% of the time and need to be able to reach everywhere with my thumb. Technically I can do that on 12, but it feels a bit uncomfortable to reach to corners of the screen and since I do it a lot during the day it’ll result in constant annoyance I think. Mini feels solid in that regard. And it also seems to be a bit more durable than the rest of the lineup due to the smaller size. Glossy back feels so grippy and with boxy design I feel like going caseless. Don’t care about the speakers quality. Battery life is not an issue since I’m having a power bank. Plus I watch videos and play games on my iPad mostly. The worst impression I had was from the pro max. It’s absolutely unusable in one hand and frosted back is slippery so you need to use a case which adds to the bulk. And it’s noticeably heavier. Mini feels like a breeze in comparison ))

Got my iPhone mini yesterday morning. From the moment I unboxed it and peeled off the cover, I instantly fell in love with it. It was so much more compact and lighter than my old Lg g7. Easier to use one handed and I can actually reach all corners of my phone without straining my thumb! Although the battery life will be shorter than my larger phone, I’m willing to make that trade off for a more compact form factor. Also I’ve an iPad for movies and gaming so this fits well with my lifestyle. Haven’t had a phone this compact since the iPhone 4

This is, in my opinion, is the best iPhone ever made. It follows and represents what Steve Jobs wanted from an iPhone. Pocketable, single handed usage and more powerful than anything on the market with top of the line tech. This is the continuation of his philosophy. I love the godamn size so much. Finally a powerful mobile phone which can really be called mobile after ages. I hope Android manufacturers follow this trend and come up with innovative ideas to increase the battery life.

Yes. iPhone mini is perfect. I love mine.

Except it is not top of the line tech

No 120Hz refresh rate no party

Be advised, there's a hearing aid connectivity issue with ALL iPhone 12 models. People with hearing aids are experiencing static alternating between left and right side channels as well as intermittent audio loss in either right or left sides....Apple is aware of the problem and the engineers are working to fix it.

This issue was corrected in the new release 14.2.1 or the beta 14.3 PB2

If they made the iPhone SE with the iPhone 12 design, I would prefer it. I like the bezel, home button, the LCD screen is fine, don't need magsafe, don't need wireless charging, just a single camera lens but with better low light, and increase ram to at least 4gb. I hope they keep the SE with home button in the future.

yes we really hope that happens

After 6 years iPhone 6 I’ll go for iPhone 12, skipped 6 generations 😂😂

I have an Iphone 11 and it feels enormous and has always felt enormous and I have big hands. Thanks for this review and looking forward to the Mini 13 which I'll probably switch to from the 11. Giant phones have always looked ridiculous to me ever since I saw the first enormous HTC and outwardly laughed that anyone would carry that around. Now it's commonplace but no less ridiculous looking, to me anyway.

[@idylledoll]

I have the 11 too and its so heavy too, hurts like a bitch to drop it on my face or foot lol and the battery aged like avocado. I am looking to buy a mini too!

Max, compare max brightness on the phones. I got my mini yesterday and it does not get as bright as my two year old Xs even though they are rated the same amount of nits.

Just traded in my SE 2020 for 12, legit a good upgrade

[@ellaharris8103]

That’s what I’m doing on Friday. Is it a good phone?

[@wongs21873]

@@ellaharris8103 12 is decent but let me tell you if you’re willing to pay for the price of a 12, you should upgrade to a 13/13 mini, the battery alone already beats 12 by far But if you just want a better phone you got plenty of options my friends :)

[@DronieUp]

I can’t wait until the iPhone 12 mini becomes the new iPhone SE! The price with match the size lol

[@itwasntoptional5114]

by the time it becomes the new iphone se every phone will completely outclass it
