I've just bought a 12 mini as a summer side phone, because my 14 Pro is heavy in my pocket. So far it's great and so lovely and light.

[@JPLacasRN]

I ordered 2nd hand i12 mini, waiting for the delivery. Wasnt able to find a brand new. I love small phones. Easy to cary

[@enzod.coimbra1466]

I'm glad you mentioned the green screen effect that these iPhone 12s have, it's one of the reasons I sold my regular 12 back in 2022. I am using now a 14 Pro and it's honestly the most refined phone I've ever used. Hope to keep it for a while now.

[@wht-rabt-obj]

Got an iPhone 13 and hated the sharp edges. I took it back and went back to my 11 Pro Max. FINALLY, I was able to upgrade to the 15 Plus after Apple softened the harsh edges. Now, I'm loving this 15 ❤

[@finger776]

the pro max is way more exspensive for slightly better camera and maybe storage

[@dennycannon8410]

Wouldn't a case take care of the sharp edges on the phone?

[@sonlaxx]

I honestly love the size so much. But the battery is really making want to go back to the regular sizes

[@VSG231]

I got the iPhone 14 through Verizon yesterday and it is the most compact phone I have ever used because I switched from a 6.5 inch screen to a 6.1 inch screen and it’s such a huge difference I feel like I am using an iPhone mini

[@AirBudProMax]

Still using my 12 Mini since day one. Love the form factor, and you’re not really punished for it with the phones other features either.

[@VartuMontavimas]

Yeah especially with the fact that u can get one for 200$! Probably will have support for ios 20.

[@mrcross78]

I sold my 15 pro just to purchased a used 12 mini. I really enjoy it. It helped me to use my iPad mini 6 more often than not. I still own a 2016 SE.

[@connorcampbell144]

I’ve had my iPhone 12 mini in purple for a year now; I love it. I upgraded from an iPhone 6s Plus. Same screen size baisically, just smaller size phone. I can use it with one thumb easily. I’m going to get an iPhone 13 mini at some point as I like the pink colour and I need more storage than 64gb. After that I will use the iPhone 13 mini forever. I still use my iPhone 4s for music when in the gym and for all the old apps back in the 2010s. Sent from my iPhone 12 mini.

[@not_autistic_336]

I have this phone but i use this phone 3-5 hours a day and i think it does the work

"I'll give you my iPhone 6s plus when you pry it from my cold, dead hands" erh.. ah...maybe you have a point!

[@jamesjones9207]

I had an iPhone 6s that accidentally got flushed down a toilet … that phone was my back up phone so to speak I used it to take some of the daily usage off my other phone to try and slow down battery degradation … anyway the iPhone 6s was very slow and the battery would die in 30 minutes of continuous use… I ended up replacing it with the iPhone 12 min and I was much happier not having to deal with extremely slow load times and constant charging as well as the screen just being to small for content the phone was a perfect size of only the screen was edge to edge like the 12 mini

[@alvzcizzler]

I'd recommend the 13 Mini instead, better battery and slightly faster as well

[@TripleSavage666]

i liked what u said , thinking of buying 12 mini

Made an upgrade from the x to the 12 mini cause my phone battery was starting to go down the shttr.

[@0fficialBlvckk]

So I plan on getting a 12 Mini, over an 11 or a 12. What do you think good idea ? Because I’m a fan of smaller phones

[@adminofsugas]

I wish Apple kept making this size this is so perfect and I love my 12 mini

[@adminofsugas]

I bought one 5 months ago I do absolutely love this phone and my battery has yet to be an issue. It’s met all the needs I was looking for the biggest one is that I can carry this around much easier I can’t stand the large phones

I use my phone a lot how long does urs last

[@LeoNaylor-es7ze]

Should i get one from a samsung a 14

[@adminofsugas]

@@wwg3105 I got mine off the Apple refurbished store so it has a new battery in it & it lasts all day , I maybe charge it once or twice while at work but not often

[@adminofsugas]

@@LeoNaylor-es7ze I got mine directly from the Apple website refurbished store I’ve had no issues with it I did have a large pro max I just couldn’t deal with it all the phones are to much to carry round I recommend it to many unless theirs a Samsung flip that’s great with no crease I’ll switch gladly I want something easy to carry around not a brick

[@adminofsugas]

@@wwg3105 mine will usually need a charge once or twice, here is my first part of my use daily (5am to 1pm I need to charge usually around 1p) side note, it’s my preference to start charging around 35% once I see that number, but depending on how much video or gaming I play I’ve yet to see any significant difference in the battery from my pro max to the mini they all have always needed a few extra charges during the day to one charge depending again of course on what one is doing on the device. I highly recommend this phone.

[@Erica961]

Love mini phone

[@harshitnautiyal4995]

I have been using it since last 8 months and my experience has been incredible up to a lot of extent. I have two problems first it's battery is mediocre and the notch just looks a lot big on this small screen. It heats up a lot while gaming but I really don't have a problem because I am not a gamer but for regular day to day use the A14 bionic chip still feels like a modern chip which is reliable and fast.

[@Sammeep02]

I have the 12 mini in purple. It's treated me well the past 2 years. :) Strangely enough, I haven't noticed the "green screen effect."

[@nathantew2180]

I feel like if you want a good cheap option, 11 mini. If you want better features, 13 mini. 12 is this weird middle ground where it costs more than 11 but has marginal improvements (slightly better processor and cameras) and even a downgrade (battery life). 13 has bigger camera sensors, better camera functionalities, bigger battery, and better processor.

[@TheRealRyanHelp72973]

the iphone 11 mini does not exist, i suppose you meant 12

[@JaydenPrinc]

I still love mines and my iphone 13 pro max love it ❤️ just replace my battery now its at 96 percent

[@denblaakop]

I'm tempted on this one or the 13 mini, - but the battery life should be crapy. Only use my phone on the go, have an ipad mini at home.

[@tristesskartoffel8677]

I will never change this form factor. The “normal sized phones” feels like bricks against this. Apple please bring out a iPhone 16 mini pro 😂

[@MacTX]

Scott, how many years have you been working on that phone usage addiction, at least 4 yrs probably, since before Covid. It's easy, just put the phone down. My daily average screen time this week, 35 minutes.

[@techno_eclipse]

Haha, I feel obligated to mention it in the video, more of a “I’m testing this phone out and don’t want to invite something negative into my life.” I just checked and I’m at around the same, 42 minutes per day. I just others to not use their phone as much

[@TR3LY.RYZ0]

i have tiny hands, i have two kids though!

[@starlxrd868]

how long does the battery last in a day?

[@techno_eclipse]

4-6 hours. But I rarely use it all

[@itzashan2584]

Do you prefer : android or iphone?

[@techno_eclipse]

Android, but iMessage. My family and friends will not budge on iMessage, so I am forced to use an iPhone. Not that I don't love tons of the features of an iPhone

[@kenji4330]

Great video! I watched it in the morning but couldnt comment cuz i was stressed out bcuz of some legal stuff i had to deal with today. About screentime, i was thinking, since i switched to samsung at the end of 2023 and didnt sell the iPhone, to switch between iPhone and Samsung for 1 week at a time a couple of times to see which i spend less time on and which i actually like more. It is so weird how i always miss the other when i switch... If i keep the iPhone i ll give the samsung to my mom, if i keep the samsung, not sure what i ll do with the iphone since these 2 last months i kept it to manage my apple watch but i ll probably figure something out. Also, i ended up on 50 sit ups and squats, 20 push ups and 10 pull ups, its enough for me not to get sore

[@techno_eclipse]

That is awesome! What I do when working out is try to increase whatever I am doing by just a little bit each week. So next week try 51 sit-ups, 21 pushups, and 11 pull-ups. Slowly increase from there!

[@hectorbarba1736]

Would u buy this phone over the se3?

[@kennethxavier6012]

Need to know if i can use banking apps on an iphone that can't be updated anymore like ipx or xs. Help

[@techno_eclipse]

You would be able to, but once your phone stops receiving security patches it will be at much greater risk

[@JaydenPrinc]

​@@techno_eclipselove it tbh the 13 pro max be hurting 😂 I thought about get the 13 mini as well haha

[@jidofole]

I thought the mini had a similar screen size to the 8 plus?

[@techno_eclipse]

It’s technically similar, but you lose a chunk to the notch, and it’s less wide.

Been using an SE2 for the past 2.5 years and recently purchased a 12 Mini in white 128GB refurb in excellent cond. I like smaller phones. :) Phone literally looks new and operates perfectly. Love the size and flat sides, good solid feel, fast, really good cameras and features the SE2 doesn't have. I miss the home button and better speakers of the SE2. But other than that, even though the 12 Mini is slightly smaller than the SE2, the screen is larger at 5.4" with better clarity. I'm not a power user, just calls, texts, photography, KZbin, Google searches, etc, and not having any issues with battery life each day. But I have a question for other 12 Mini owners/users. The power button on mine feels solid and precise and works as it should but has a noticeably audible click when pressing, which non of my other phones have (6 total). It's not a loud click and not a haptics click, just a mechanical button click sound that's noticeably louder than any of my other phones. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this normal for the 12 Mini?

Hi brother, Nice video i also want buy iPhone 12 mini for vlogging cos i think its much better then any action camera, but i m confused how long ill make videos use iPhone 12 mini ?

[@im_saxx1489]

The display thing on 5:03 is due to this night shift mode, this is for really extreme low light like night times and darker rooms with zero light that reduces the blue light and strain on your eyes
