iPhone 12 mini Real Day in The Life Review - ONE YEAR LATER 

hello, i'm some how distracted between buyind s21 or 12 mini. i usually prefer Android; however, 12 mini is cheaper than s21 at my country... any advice?

Wow.😳 my 12mini has a batt health of 89%.🥲🥲🥲 had it since january 2021. Not a gamer,more on fb,tiktok and yt.idk why the batt health is already so low.tsk.🙄

@@austineramos7869 yeah,me too.i wonder why.maybe because of fast charger

@@austineramos7869 why does it get low ?? im thinking of switching to a mini 12 but i dont get the battery situation

@@lulumend1232 bec apple makes sh*tty batteries.🙄 i suggest get the 13mini,its batt is a little better than the 12mini.

What do u think about the battery is it good?

I had it die on me in the middle of a freaky FaceTime ; that really suckd

@UCP-8bfFtC6-N_tzomr_wu2Q LmAo well less faster sorry my wording is weirding.

u have original cover or third party

Have a link to that magsafe battery pack you're using?

Blue 12 mini vs 13 mini blue. Which blue looks better?

99% after almost a year, man you are damn lucky but i get that you use your fone less than most people with social media users. I guess habit matters. What fone charger do you use? 5/12/20watts?

how's the battery for normal users?

@@vishnus7149 I am happy with it. I also have iphone 11. its too big to carry. My phone of choice hence is iphone 12 mini. No issue at all for daily use since it holds the battery quite well.

@@samanthnair2692 mind if i know what's your batt life now after one year of usage?

me too

Is your batt life above 90%?

@@CometFire2010 no sadly. It’s 88% but that’s also probably because I let it get to dead or near dying a few too many times. Just the nature of how I was using it for a period of time. Trying to keep the charge between 20-80 for sustainability. Battery replacement isn’t too much if I need to do that in a couple years

@@Phospherone can you please tell me about your screen on time on a single charge , and how many times you charge your phone in a day

@@5441d I average from 4-5 hours throughout the day. It’s also plugged in when I’m to and from work for CarPlay so it does get a 25-40 minute boost depending on how heavy traffic is.

Try a iPhone se they r quite cheap

According to the new review by Mr.whoistheboss iphone 13 Mini's battery is better than iPhone 11 and 12

@@tiptoptimo5553 iphone se has a bad battery, worse than the mini

Yes it’s worth it. I have it and it lasts all day on actual use. I watch RU-vid on high brightness and volume and by the end of the day(not obsessive use) but by the end of the day it’s at like 20 or 15%. Which isn’t a lot but with the twelve I had to charge it around 1 or so and I wake up around 8am

great decision, I should have waited, now i dont have enough money to buy 13 mini xd

Def 13 mini. Better camera (and I think battery life) than the 12!

If you are going for the mini, go for the 13 mini. Because of the increased battery capacity. However, if you want a normal size 12, I think right now would be a good time to purchase it, since the price has dropped and there's not so many differences between the 12 and 13 when it comes to the everyday situations. The battery life on the 13 is a bit bigger, but the 12 already haves an all day battery life!

@@PeaceGates Thank you for answering me Peace! Best wishes for your channel, stay safe and happy ✌

@@PeaceGates Great Video

@@PeaceGates iphone 13 mini or iphone 11. i want better battery to have almost full day

My 12 mini last 5-6 hours screen on time. The battery in this video is fucked up.

@@handleismyhandlelol i Sold my 12 Mini very quickly because i wanted to Check Out the 13 Mini. 13 Mini is a little bit thicker, heavier, Not the real Mini Feeling Like you get with the 12 but battery experience is a little bit better. But to Tell you the truth...my daily Driver is an Oppo Find X3 Neo because i am a absolut heavy User and this Thing Charges from 0 to 100 % in 30 minutes, a Thing that apple Just can't so and this gives me the freedom i need in my Life. I Love the Oppo find X3 Neo, but yeah, the iPhone Video camera is better when IT comes to stabilisation but Oppo Turner my head away from Apple. I Hope that Oppo will keep on working on their camera systems because the Phone Just Runs perfekt, No lags, never had any Problems and the Design ist Just breathtaking.

@@handleismyhandlelol that will BE No Problem, Most of the time you will have a Screen on time from round about 5,5 hours. I think the people who kill the 12 Mini battery in about 2-3 hours, the use Maximum brightness with Lot of Video Kamera, otherwise i can Not explain how this should Work! I have a video on my Chanel where i show my Screen on Times and normaly IT was about 5 hours and the phone wasn't dead but keep in mind IT was a new 12 Mini, with fresh battery. It felt Like the 12 Mini lasted Same If Not a little bit longer than the old iPhone iPhone X with a new battery. And If you have a fitting quick charger you will be fine If you hang it in for 30 minutes during the day If you need used it heavy and you need it in the evening/night. For me the 12 Mini was No Option for ever because i do a Lot of Video stuff. But the Problem for me ist Not the battery sice, the real Problem ist that it's only 18 Watts of quick charging. The Oppo find X3 Neo does Not really Last much longer than a 12 Mini, maybe 1 hour longer Maximum. Thats surprising because ist hast got dubble sice of battery but the charging is so quick that this is the Main reason i moved away from using Apple. I still have a 13 Mini but the only reason for me still having this Phone IS the Video stabilisation when IT comes to 4K 60 FPS Clips. There ist nearly No stabilisation left in the Oppo when you get over 4K 30 frames. So finally i think you will be fine with a new 12 Mini Brother. Look in my Chanel for the Video: Bye Bye iPhone 12 Mini, there you will See my Screen on Times in a Grafik. Go to Minute 2:40 there you See Screen on time and Akku usage.

I heard from somewhere that iOS 15 takes up 20gb space.

Good to know. Thanks

Not a 13 mini?

@@TJ74su well maybe because the price is much cheaper

@@aimanhaikal1327 it is only 50$ cheaper if you look at the 128 gb models because 128 is standard on the 13 and 64 is standard on the 12. If you are okay with 64 gb of storage then you are saving 100$. That is a decent amount of money if you are paying upfront, but if you are paying overtime on a payment plan it is insignificant. Personally I would spend the 50$ to get the much improved battery life. This is assuming US pricing though, I’m not sure about other countries.

@@TJ74su in my country iphone 12 mini 128gb is 71 usd cheaper than iphone 13 mini meanwhile 64gb is 120$ cheaper But tbh i would go for 13 mini cuz it can live one more year than 12 mini

@@aimanhaikal1327 yes I think that would be a great plan! Over all I think the 13 mini is a better deal especially because it addresses the battery life issues if the 12 mini

It's the Pitaka Air case!

on my 12 mini I usually am getting around 8 hours of use a day

and remember the 13 mini is receiving a battery upgrade.

@@JDT._1303 what does that mean

He doesn't but it would be a good test for the video

11 pro is better

When did u buy it

regular iphone 11 has an inferior screen and very bulky bezels. I am returning mine and getting a 12 mini in the mail. I will have to use it a bit to see how the battery life and screen size is. But if I were you I would try and find a use good condition Iphone 11 pro.

It seems like many believe that fast charging and wireless charging degrades the battery alot faster.

Me too.

My iPhone 12 (standard size) is at 92% after one year of pretty standard use. I don’t know if that’s normal or not, but it does seem that the recent iPhones degrade faster in that regard.

@@kiznisha2562 you would think a phone with an led screen would be more efficient

@@kiznisha2562 Perhaps it is a problem with the 12 line-up.

Return it and get the 13

My 12 mini is at 93% after 1 year, my XR was at 100% after 17 months so I think your on to something with declining battery health on small phones

Do you use wireless charging?

@@tommylakasi3022 I don't use wireless charging but I do use a fast charger from Anker and I'm now at 90% battery health. I cut my phone off at night till 9:00 AM to try to stop the damage but it appears to be accelerating.

@@warrengaskin3863 ah i see, i got the 12 mini cuz it was cheap during black friday, i can see what you mean about the small battery life. Tbh its enough to last me a day at school until i get home and i dont mind carrying around a battery pack in my bag. Loving it so far.

@@tommylakasi3022 no wireless charging at least not daily… to be honest I use the 12 pro max 99% of the time and the mini only when I’m home and the mini still has worse battery health. Maybe apple just uses better batteries in the pro / pro max. Cause my iPhone 13 (regular) is also dying much faster than my 12 pro

No

Do you love it tho?

Good to know you charge it at night but do you use slow charger or fast/wireless charging which is a batt killer? What's the batt health now and how old is the fone?

@@ararix3722 I do, most of the time, it's so easy to use one handed. But sometimes I hate it because it's so small :D

@@CometFire2010 I use 12W (2,4A) wired charger. Tried a extra slow 5W wireless charger for a few months, but came back to the wired one. The phone is now 20 months old, battery health is 85%.

12 mini

Pointless downgrade imo

Oh my, my battery health is 90% :'v (10 months with it). I really love it, but my guy's dying fast. Oh, and I charge it 88-94% with the 20w fast charger at around 10:00 PM (and I disconnect it when it's done, obviously).

@@xylogram4168i think wireless and fast charging shortens batt life. That could be a reason.

Swoosh gang we out here 😎

Just curious, did you replace the batt during warranty?!

@@CometFire2010 i never did no, do you think i should've ?

@@xelalex.4 my android battery of 5000mah degraded from 100 to 78% after 3yrs. Still usable but slightly annoying since it got bloated. i see lots of people complaining about 12 mini battery degradation majorly contributed by fast and wireless charging. I personally would replace it if possible. But then, i won't use the above mentioned ways to charge the battery for the sake of saving time which ultimately makes one spend money for batt replacements every two years or so given the small capacity it already is. P.S I'm yet to decide whether to go for SE 3 or 12mini. Screen and battery life are the main issue for me since both will comfortably get iOS updates for 5yrs..

@@CometFire2010 That's true, i hear that it also depends on which charger you use. which goes back to what you said about fast and wireless charging. thank you for the tip though! i didn't end up keeping the phone, i upgraded to the 13 pro max. i had the 11 pro max before the 12 mini , and i should've just kept the 11 pro max but i really wanted to try the 12 mini.

Lmaooo

Le wheeze 🤣

Lol I’m surprised you have that much battery left after using the GPS. Does your phone overheat when using GPS? I have looking to upgrade to the 12 min or 11 from the 6 and mine overheats whenever I use google maps.

@@Yeluna7 Nope. Cool as a clam. What kind of case do you have?

Same here. Battery drains even when not in use 10% per hour (not in use). I’m at 8th month and have 93% battery health . Well planning to change phone’s battery will it be helpful?

How do you use the phone and how do you charge it?

Update?

@@ni9619I just got back a 12 mini. A refurbished one. Got it for less than £200. It works great, better than the brand new one I had a couple of years ago. The 2 I sent back in 2021 were updated to the latest IOS before I sent them back. I guess I just wasn't lucky with the batch. They came from. It all worked out for the best though. The one I have now is the best phone I've had.

Cod Mobile

For mine also

Stop using fast charger and wireless charger. Use a slow charger at night. It might help with batt degradation. Btw what's your batt health now and how old is your fone?

How are you upgrading it ? Are you doing trading in apple website ? Or Are you trading it privately ?

@@RameshKumar-ng3nf I’m from Argentina, for me it’s better to sell here and buying the new in USA.

What's the battery like so far? Is it as bad as Peace's? I'm looking at getting a 12 mini as a secondary phone.

@@carloenix yes, the battery is its weak point. I have an iPad Air for most of my tasks.

@@sebabonvin Thanks for sharing bro. Good luck to you.

Good to know. I still have a 6S.

So do you use wireless or fast charging for your iPhone mini?
