Apple iPhone 12 Mini review: Small and fast, but doesn't last

The Apple iPhone 12 Mini is the first flagship-quality small phone we've seen in a while. For about $100 less than a standard iPhone 12, you get a device that packs the same camera and A14 processor, but into a device with a compact 5.4 inch screen. Still, despite the size, the edge-to-edge screen feels much roomier than the display on the similarly sized iPhone SE we reviewed earlier this year.
Apple has done a great job maintaining all the power the functionality of the full iPhone 12, including 5G support, but the 12 Mini does suffer from one drawback common to smaller phones: it's battery life is kind of lousy.

The whole battery life complaint is way blown up. People that want small phones use phones like they are supposed to be used, they don't use them to watch videos all day or to play games for hours on end.

@alphaomega9387 3 года назад

yep, this guy in the video and many people is making such a big exaggeration on the battery life, the iphone 12 mini has 2 hour longer battery life than the iphone X and 1 hour longer than the 8 plus, when my 8 plus was at 100% lifespan it could last me a day easily without charging until i use it for high intense setting games like pubg with 60fps and extreme graphics then the battery degraded and so did the battery life dropping speed so bottom line if ur not using it intensely the battery should be alright and i dont think recording in 4k at 30 fps is as bad battery draining as using it for gaming if ur recording only for awhile.

thank you and well said. i have had my 7 for three years and the battery drains quickly when i browse. i enjoy the smaller phone and this mini seems to hit all the marks. not worried about the battery when i am not on the phone all day long playing video games or watching videos. the mini is for me and not the large 12 or 12 max.

@JMLRetroRoom 3 года назад

Yup. I have an OG SE from 2016 and I can still get the latest iOS if I wanted to. Upgrading to the 12 Mini. Android vs Apple. It’s all dependent on what you do. I like the Apple ecosystem but not the prices.. I don’t use the extra features Android has but Apple also supports old devices for a long time. Generally people who switch to Apple complain about lack of features etc so if you can live without those then you’ll be fine. Resell value is also higher so keep that in mind as well.

I don’t mind the battery life. When I first got it I started playing around with it. Normally I would be down 50% on battery life and surprisingly I was only down to 70%. Not bad. The only thing I noticed that Apple sacrificed on the Mini are the phone speakers and sound. It doesn’t have that richness compared to the other models. I love my Mini.

I basically agree with everything you say, after using mine for a week. I had high hopes when I got the SE 2020, but come dinner time and... I had no more phone after that. Then I got the 11 Pro and that was bliss (size is just a tad bigger but still great) I enjoy the excellent battery life of my 11 Pro. But it is a bit heavy though. So... the magic of lightness and smallness appealed to me again... and it’s in my hands for a little while now. It exactly as you said - I either carry both the 12 Mini and the 11 Pro or else I am very careful with the usage. Note: I also have the excellent 12 Pro Max... but I don’t have pockets for phablets, so it stays home most of the time (pity, it’s very, very pleasant).

u cant always have pros U have to sacrifice when u want a small phone

@dimitrikr9968 3 года назад

I'd rather sacrifice 5G and magsafe for a larger battery, honestly. Everything else looks perfect (except the notch)

@dimitrikr9968 3 года назад

@@TheJeonyboy It's the only reason I upgraded my 8 to the 11 Pro, for its battery and camera, and never looked back. There were times when I was traveling with my 8 and I was worried I might get stranded without a phone in the middle of the day already. Nobody wants to feel like that.

I have usual 2-3 hours SOT (having laptop + desktop + ipad for work and entertainment), and even my current iphone8 is a little bit too large for my hand to operate single handedly. Preordered mini in the first minutes of availability.

I was waiting for a compact iPhone with a square design for years! And even if the mini would cost 100$ more than the regular iPhone 12, I would still get it. Battery life is somewhat of a concern but I still expect it to be an improvement over my iPhone 6s with a 5-year-old exhausted battery :D

Coming from a iPhone 11 Pro I love the mini 12. Only drawback is the battery does die fast but it’s charged up so fast now it’s not like it matters

Fabulous and very helpful review. Also fun and fresh to watch and listen to from a purely aesthetic point of view. Subscribed!!

8:28 It's clearly having abnormal battery self draining behaviour overnight without actual usage. It might be due to the machine learning for a new phone or something wrong with the phone. Otherwise, the battery level should be remained. Without this issue, the battery should be able to last much longer.

@Meshcins1 3 года назад

Yep. With any new iphone or after any ios update, apple has made it so that app updates are gradual over a night or two which leads to battery drain for new phones over the first 2 days or so.

@Elizabeta Majstorović you will be fine . Also buy a charger case and only use when you have too .

The issue is endurance. Your tiny battery will Lose capacity over time. Tiny batteries will be even smaller.

Thanks, I'm the same way way cuz it's a big step up from my XR. And it would get me through till next year when they hopefully come out with a bigger refresh rate. But the battery life, it won't last with me at work. So perhaps the 12 is the way to go 🤔. Thanks 👍

@mihirchitnis905 3 года назад

Poor battery life has become a habitual occurence for iphones. They should increase the thickness to accommodate a bigger battery or implement graphene batteries.

I have it since two weeks and an absolutely happy with it. I have 5 to 6 hours screen time with one charge. That’s fine for me, even if i have to recharge around 7 or 8 at night. Doesn’t bother me. I would be more bothered by a chunky Phone in my hand. And actually i think there will be portable mag safe chargers soon
