I bought 12 mini this weekend for the camera while for gaming is practically nintendo switch oled..im so happy ❤😊

[@user-xo2qi4he4v]

How much did it cost?

[@jamesrex8030]

Doesn't cost much you can get it for 300-400$ depending on the storage​@@user-xo2qi4he4v

[@sweetly6588]

@@user-xo2qi4he4vAround 200 to 400 depends on the condition and battery health, got mine for 350$ on backmarket, exelent condition and new battery 128gb

[@mateovncnt7411]

Just bought one too with new battery installed

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

[@evanandrews]

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.

[@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.

[@Wazona1980]

I recommend the clear circular magnet charger case.

[@lcio1304]

200USD for a 12 mini is a crazy deal for me... In Argentina they be selling a 12mini for more than 350usd

[@destinyroberts97]

Good video 👍 just subscribed to your channel. Love it.

[@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

[@TripleSavage666]

i liked what u said , thinking of buying 12 mini

[@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

[@wt9868]

ill get it thanks

[@callmeNeno]

Welcome back. I love my iPhone 13 Pro .

[@breezlee59]

"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

[@cgofficial69]

How long is battery backup, can you help me out by providing SCREEN ON TIME ON A SINGLE CHARGE NOW?..,,.

[@not_autistic_336]

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

[@alvzcizzler]

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

[@Erica961]

Love mini phone

[@meetimian3383]

Is it 128 or 256 ??

[@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.

[@JaydenPrinc]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@cgofficial69]

[@TheKishu]

3 to 4 hours sot

[@pratikkakde7105]

Max 7hrs min 5 hrs

[@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

[@jecksonng]

I love iphone 12 mini....but now im using s23ultra 😊

[@starlxrd868]

how long does the battery last in a day?

[@techno_eclipse]

4-6 hours. But I rarely use it all

[@hectorbarba1736]

Would u buy this phone over the se3?

[@techno_eclipse]

I’m testing out the se3 in a few weeks, I will let you know in that review

[@fahadassiry224]

iphone 12 mini, better camera better battery better screen better looking u should go for it

[@luisventura8651]

water resistance not water proof!! the battery on this phone does suck!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@VSG231]

Ngl I am using my phone more than I want to I should limit my screen time for my phone

[@jeffreytwumasi4926]

Where do y’all buy used iPhones at good rates

[@techno_eclipse]

Ebay. Great return policy too. Amazon is typically more expensive, but they are even more customer friendly

[@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

[@RideOnTimePH]

This is my current phone now.

[@techno_eclipse]

Replying on my 12 mini, I love this phone!

[@user-nn8nx2hh8s]

Your channel videos are very nice and each video resolution is high but due to some mistakes the channel is not growing much.

[@malarki5]

👍🏾

[@Brnxz]

ur iphone 12 might not be using an orignal screen those screens are GX Screen they die terribly thats why they get green on low bright

[@techno_eclipse]

Interesting, I assumed because True Tone worked it was original.

[@Brnxz]

@@techno_eclipseyah bringing truetone back is easy but to someone who sells can easily notice they die on digitizer plus mother board bluetooth,hostpot maybe u notice after8 or 5 months

[@oddsnends3090]

He would know if it was an aftermarket screen because it would show up as an unknown part in his settings.

[@rungxanh2901]

Nah the 13 mini should be much better

[@callmeNeno]

I don’t buy used phones because I don’t want to know how many times they took their phones to the bathroom to take a 💩 or how many times they dropped it on the floor

[@techno_eclipse]

haha, very true. Disinfect to protect, but I get why someone may not want to buy a used phone

[@jidofole]

icky but you'll never know

[@alexiiconner]

go refurbished

[@meetimian3383]

​@@alexiiconnerrefurbished are not used by people??

[@Oggyandjack34]

See on iPhone 12 mini blue 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂best display phone

[@8888carnival]

Using iphone 12 mini and theres no more mini after 13🥲

[@alishernosirjonov54]

How much is battery health on your phone and how many hours does your 12 mini hold up?

[@8888carnival]

@@alishernosirjonov54 77% and it holds for 3/4 day
