[@OccupiedMuffins]

I was using the se and kept thinking damn I wish this was just full screen and was easier to hold and it would be perfect lmao

[@leov666]

Hate to be a bearer of less than ideal news, I tried the Mini and its screen is a couple mm narrower than my iPhone 7 (which means also 8 and SE). This means 16:9 videos are a bit smaller and so is the browsing experience. It may be fine for many, but it was an issue for me as I expected 5.4" to not be smaller than 4.7". I wish Apple used a more "normal" aspect ratio on such a small phone.

[@lokivariant5484]

I got my se2020 a couple of months ago. I’m not a gamer, videographer/photographer, etc...I came from android because iPhones are way better. I don’t care about all the specs and B.S. My se2020 is fantastic and suits my needs very well. The 12’s are awesome, no doubt! But, if you’re a moderate user. the se2020 will suit you fine. BTW, by 10 or 11 pm I still have about 35% battery. For me it is unnecessary to upgrade.

[@gailremp8389]

Hi. My name is Gail -- I'm down in Central Florida. I am a long time Apple user and I have the SE also. 1) congratulations on flipping over to Apple. Or as I call it, 'Apple -- the devices you love to hate.' Because when they are doing great, they are. And when they don't, you want to take a hammer to them. But just call your main local Apple store number and press 'technology' and you will connect with an Apple technician at another location. And they can guide you through and out of a lot of situations and answer simple questions that you think you know the answer to but aren't sure They can sync into your phone and show you what you need to do to make it right. You don't have to make an appointment to go into the store or anything like that. Not really. They will save your butt and not make you feel terrible for not understanding something. I have used the Apple products for about 11-12 years now, and I still have to call and they're still just as nice as when I was a beginner. 2) I started with an iPhone 4 and then went to a 6+ a few years later until it died, my fault, and now have the SE. I hope that you bought a higher level than the SE 64 GB. It should be OK for the meantime. But when you finally to upgrade get a minimum of a 128 GB in which ever iPhone you pick. You'll will be glad you did because of iOS updates. 3) in the old days you had to let your phones or your iPads come down to about 15% before you re-charged the battery. Now with better batteries and new understanding, you can keep them at 100% with very little problems with major loss of battery life. I drive a VW Beetle. And it has CarPlay. And my iPhone is plugged in all the time when I am out for the navigation and everything. And it's at 100%. It really comes in handy in case of an emergency. It's not one time when you want your phone down to 30% and you know it's going to die. Not good. Very scary. Or just when you are out a long time. You don't have to freak out that you aren't going to have any power. And last, but not least 4). NOW, We have to get you into an iPad also for at home. Everything is linked together so you can sit at home and get text messages on your iPad and see them. Amd emails, etc. And all of the pictures you might take someday will transfer over all the data goes back-and-forth between the two. A buddy of mine that was android all the way and didn't understand that until I showed her how it worked. And about three months ago she finally made the big plunge. She is still getting used to it but she is very glad that she did. Because it's logical and it makes sense and that's kind of nice in this crazy world. So have a lot of fun. You're going to have good days and bad days. But you're going to have a lot of fun. Peace.

I still have my iPhone 8 and I rather pay Apple $50 to replace my battery than to upgrade to the 12 mini. The battery health is at 77% max capacity.

Good video as always but have to disagree with you on iPhone SE 2020 vs iPhone 12 mini. I got the se2020 for my son but loved it so much that I kept it. Of course the iPhone 12 mini is better in virtually all aspects BUT it is significantly more expensive and hate that notch (subjective I know but still). I also always avoid buying early generation (jump to 5G with some challenges on batteries). So, the iPhone 12 mini could be the phone but when it drops in price significantly...my SE 2020 for now is a keeper and exceeding my expectations.

[@thetattooedguy1413]

I agree! I got the iPhone se 2020 and love it

[@creatibor]

Skip 12 mini , wait for 13 or 14 (mini led, touch id)

[@すずちゃん-r3h]

I get that it’s much cheaper, but it looks sooo dated and ugly with those huge bezels, home button, and tiny 720p lcd display. It even lacks essential features like Face ID and gestures. That reason alone is a dealbreaker on the SE

[@すずちゃん-r3h]

@The RoadRunnerWell then In that case, enjoy using your ancient 2014-looking iPhone SE with huge ass bezels and home button, if you really think Touch ID is THAT essential🤣🤦‍♂️

[@gailremp8389]

I think people need to buy what they're comfortable with and...ta da...can afford. Honestly. I had a 6+ that I dearly loved but thanks to a weirdo accident I finally killed it after years. I bought the SE because of the cost at the time. I wish I could've bought the 12 mini but it wasn't in the cards at the time. But I also use an iPad and take it with me when I am out. And that's what I use for Photos. So people please stop berating other people for their choices because you don't agree with them. We could use a little humanity and respect for each other right about now in this GD world. It's not that important. For all the griping that you do, you could get out from behind your phones, go out there in the real world and help someone that is in worse shape than you are (wow, what a concept.) Then you would feel good, you would still have a great phone and you wouldn't have made someone else feel bad. Just throwing it out there for your consideration.Please people -- stop it. Petulance is not appreciated. Also, there are multiple flavors of ice cream in this world. Do we all like the same flavor? Nope . Sheesh

And then when it died at an unfortunate time (and since I needed a new iPad also at the same time) $ WAS an object -- so I went to the SE through Verizon... The phone is terrible, because I use the iPad for everything unless I am out in the world. And I use CarPlay in my Beetle. But it's just is not the phone for me. I know that sounds very fancy dancy as a complaint but it just is not a good thing for me personally. If I had the extra money it would make a great back up phone in the drawer. I'm doing my best to sell it to a friend of mine and then get the 12 mini or ? I'm not sure at this point.

The extra $330 for the mini isn’t worth upgrading if you have the SE 2020 it’s not worth upgrading .

The SE 2nd gen iPhone is a business phone. If you order 1000 phones, saving on options like emojis and HDR is no brainer, since none of these features are needed in a corporate environment. Offcourse, if you are the social media manager, you will might use this, but even an iPhone 11 is fine, due to the larger screen.

[@naveenvenkateshk]

SE has poor battery performance. If you want to perform a couple of calls/ video meetings and check emails, the battery won't even last more than 8-10 hrs. I have been using the SE as my primary phone since late Sept. For light-moderate usage I usually get around 24-30 hrs of battery backup(I check 90% of my emails and attend all meetings on my laptop). Never got even 60%-70% of Apple's claims mentioned on their website. A colleague of mine said he recently switched to a 11pro max mainly for better battery backup. He said a bigger phone has a bigger battery and hence a better battery life.

I'm very much satisfied with my iPhone SE 2020, but sure is nice to upgrade to an iPhone 12 mini form factor in 5 years, when it becomes the new SE. 😁

[@Loophole23742]

I think it’s pointless trying to future proof. Not only can we not know now, what phones will look like 3 years from now to say that the 12 mini would still look contemporary or still hold up, for all we know the budget phones 3 years from now could look like the 12 mini does today and have the features it currently ships with. I was struggling to decide between the 2 because I’m a fan of small phones. I have the latest iPad for watching KZbin and other videos away from home, I’m just looking for a decent phone now, to take phone calls. When all is said and done I’ll probably get the 2020 SE and years down the line get a phone for the same price that will probably have the specs of the 12 mini for the price of the current SE.

[@fightnight14]

SE is still a compelling phone for $399. 12 mini is like $320 more thats a good amount to not consider it

[@c0rnd0g_19]

Just got my new 2020 SE for $150 ($200 @ Total Wireless and they were running a 25% off coupon earlier this week!). Can't beat that when they're selling the 12 Mini for $729 (which didn't qualify for the 25% off either)....

[@glentaker]

so any conclusion to the real life battery test between SE & 12 Mini?

[@Judelinton13]

I got the SE and i got it broke. My mom turned it in a they gave my mom the 12 mini for the same price as the SE. Talk about a steal.

[@XsoulaX]

iPhone 📱 SE 2020 Right here 👋🏻

[@luellai1966]

The iPhone 12 mini definitely makes me wonder why they even released the SE (2020)

[@すずちゃん-r3h]

Because people who are buying the SE either have a potato IQ, or are broke @ss peasants who can’t afford anything better. And judging by this comment section alone, there seems to be plenty of individuals in that criteria

[@jeweerly2319]

[@DavidBrackett385]

*1200 nits max brightness is only when watching hdr video on the 12 mini and 12 Otherwise it’s 625 just like the SE 2020. You have to go to 12 pro/12/pro max to get higher nit of 800 nits with 1200 nits watching HDR

Hey Brandon, would you recommend the iPhone XS in 2020?

[@BrandonButch]

I would not. XR or 11 are better value options

[@dAdpool-lt2zh]

I’m still using a iPhone XR 128 gig, and I feel it’s a really awesome phone still in 2020

[@iwill_859]

How is the Xr a better value, you can find the Xs for around the same price with a better display & more features....the 11 is a little more expensive but the camera upgrades may be worth it depending on the persons needs

[@caminola417]

Have the 2020 SE. Glad Apple upgraded a home button phone; which is my preference by far. I’m not interested in photos to that n’th degree and I don’t play video games. As far as the speakers are concerned I’ll use use over the ear headphones. With regards to 5G my watch is 5G and where I live it takes forever for the latest technology to get here so by the time it does I would probably be ready for another phone anyway. So no I did not plan on upgrading it’s just too ridiculous and does not make sense for me. Plus I have an Apple battery pack that I can use on my 6S and also the SE.

[@FABPXX]

Bro can i asking you something? Can you suggest where is better iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro for me? Now i use iPhone 8 Plus 256GB. I think want upgrade my iPhone 8 go to iPhone 12 Pro Max. But price for iPhone 12 Pro Max so high. 😂 can you suggest where is better for me, iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro? Btw i from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@evilpeach2]

I guess I'll hold onto my og SE.

[@mar-km8pc]

I thought ceramic shield is only for the front of the iphone 12? Back has the regular glass.

[@PigHumanoid]

The back has 2x better shatter resistance whereas the front has 4x better than the 11.

Se 2020 is a great phone, the battery life is what the main thing you have to sacrifice. You can even forget that the bezels are even there.

[@kendtchileninjah5905]

I prefer a smaller phone, I miss the 1st Gen SE size. I got the SE 2 and it wasn’t as small as I wanted it to be so definitely considering getting the 12 mini

[@G4MX17]

I really was expecting the iPhone 12 could have come with the finger print sensor on the turn-on button as Apple did on the iPad Air 4. Because I prefer the finger print instead of Face ID.

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

They will probably do the new iPhone 13 mini’s with both touch & Face ID I don’t think they want to put every feature on everything so they can actually have something to sell for the next go around it’s probably all a marketing thing!

[@Zaildarabeer1857]

Well, i m on a 5s. I will definitely upgrade to the 12 mini. In around august coz thats when the sales usually start.

[@rockyherrera6997]

The iphone se is a perfect iphone for $399! The iphone mini is also amazing but it does cost $729.

[@liaoye1100]

Good review

[@gcdiver]

What about call quality? Did I miss it out was it not mentioned? It still is a phone, not just a portable gaming system, camera, and video texting device.

[@SudiptDash]

Iphone se or iphone mini for upgrade from iphone 6s?

[@dmusiz]

Depends on what your looking for I upgraded from 6s to se when it came out.

[@alexanderestacio415]

12 mini... I just upgraded from the 7.

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

If you love your button that was on the 6s then it’s the SE 2020 hands down it’s a fast smooth moving phone you won’t be disappointed at all and you will still have that same feel like the 6s

[@happymom9255]

Hey everyone... Currently an Android user (LG g6 that is almost dead 😂). Stay at home mom of 3 young kids. Will the 2020 SE be a good choice for me or should I spend the extra for the 12 Mini?

Ceramic Shield is only on the front! Keep it up. Edit: Peak brightness of 1200 nits is only achieved when watching HDR videos.

i have the se2020 and got it a couple months ago. i will get either the 12 mini or 13 mini if they make it next year!

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

Me too I think I’m going to stick with my SE 2020 until I see what the 13 mini looking like I have an XR as well that I’m going to trade back in because I don’t use it!

[@isaiahdunphy]

@@hollywoodthedj1673 nice!! i don’t see a point in buying ANOTHER new phone right off. by the look of it they will make a 13 mini, maybe with better camera quality. so next september i’ll see how i feel about getting that.

Wait for iPhone 13 when Apple integrate Touch ID on the display screen. Can’t use Face ID when out and about outside with mask 😷..

[@PigHumanoid]

Hope you like attaching a barnacle to the back of your phone to charge it when they get rid of the charging port.

[@jrbees929]

Much better overall value and screen real estate on the 12 Mini to me. Mini FTW!

[@OldPhonesWorld]

Technically the 12 Mini is better, being a newer phone. But, money-wise, the SE 2020 is a best buy!

[@Epitin]

Returning my 12 pro max for the SE, sorry Apple... Touch ID is crucial for the foreseeable future. We know it’s possible in the power button just like the new iPad Air.
