Apple finally made a small iPhone, the iPhone 12 mini. In this review, we explain how the only things you really give up because of the smaller size are battery life and how immersive it can feel. Otherwise, you get the same camera, same processor, and same 5G as the larger iPhones.

The phone is gonna be fine for light users, but don't expect to be gaming or doing video capture for long periods of time.

now I’m going from an iPhone 6 to 12 😂 2x difference

@dillonlowe371 3 года назад

I have been looking at reviews because I know that I’m going to end up with a regular iPhone 12 or a 12 mini but I have been trying to decide between the two for some time now. This review is wonderful because it was done from the viewpoint of someone who has always loved tiny phones and the viewpoint of someone who might be thinking about going from a bigger model to the smaller phone. Thank you for helping me decide that I would like to try a more miniature experience this year!

From now on, every single phone review should start with an Elizabeth rant.

@insaniquarium92 2 года назад

Aren’t there 3 compromises? Battery, camera and RAM? I don’t consider the size a compromise haha.

iPhone 12 mini ... best phone I’ve had in years... love it... so happy that iPhone went back to a smaller phone P.s no problem on battery life

@emilioespejo4271 3 года назад

My previous phone was the 2016 SE, 32Gb, still works awesome, change the battery and runs amazing, almost like brand new. But this guy is like a Custom Shop iPhone. Just perfect! No issues with battery life, lasts all day. Facebook, calls, messages, music (a lot), RU-vid and AmpliTube for guitar practice and no problem at all.

Watching this review from an iPhone SE. I've been waiting for another small sized iPhone to come out and this is it!

@skiara4113 3 года назад

Idk why a normal sized phone is now a mini phone🤡

The mini is fire

Coming from a iPhone 8 Plus I've been waiting for a smaller phone for year's. The excitement is unbelievable. Big phones have a place just not in my pocket or future anymore!!

I had the 6s, just upgraded to the 12 mini! Thank you for this review!!

How’s ur experience so far? Thinking of doing the same exact thing

@anuragjangam 3 года назад

Do it. Completely worth it. Although i dont currently own it but my friend does and im planning to buy it too.

@michaeldrummond3697 3 года назад

I’m coming from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone 12 mini and I just want to say this is absolutely perfect it fits comfortably in my hand and the display seems a bit bigger than the iPhone 6s and 7 battery life isn’t great but it’s manageable for normal use throughout the day, I play Modern Combat 5 from time to time which is a first person shooting game similar to call of duty and it performs very well 😊 I am extremely happy with this design could be a bit smaller if you ask me 🤷🏾‍♂️ but it will do

I finally went in to replace my Iphone 6 with an Iphone SE but found the iphone 12 mini, which I didn't even know was out. 300 extra bucks later..(ouch). Crossing fingers. This review made me feel a bit better about the purchase though, so thanks!

@lumanid73 3 года назад

How do you feel about it now?

@helenz751 2 года назад

if someone with an iphone x get their minds blown away by an iphone 12 mini, what am i supposed to do with an iphone se 2016? probably fall from the sky.

@shanefrancisjavier7657 3 года назад

I've been in love with the 5s the moment I held it for the first time because of just how easy it was to use onehanded. But now, considering all the things that I do on my phone like reading documents and taking notes daily, I think sacrificing screen size for ergonomics is very hard to justify.

@yakarotsennin3115 3 года назад

Just get a iPad Mini.

@J_321Ignition 3 года назад

Dieter, You nailed it. I’m one of those folks that has been been hanging on to his 1st gen SE for dear life. FINALLY! iPhone 12 mini here I come!

@gabydeleon99720 Год назад

If Apple resurrected the 12 mini. It would probably be the next SE generation.

@mirzasaysrelax 2 года назад

This is the perfect phone for people who don't watch Netflix or RU-vid on their phones. Perfect size for holding the phone and reducing media consumption

@truce11 3 года назад

Been holding my iPhone SE for years for this! Glad kept sharp corners for easier hold and sharp look. More Liz rants. In fact let's just have 3min Honest Liz reaction review videos

@michellepolk4646 3 года назад

I still have the 6s. I like being able to put my phone in my pocket. Thank you for the review. This will help in my decision.

@vin2629 Год назад

I made huge mistake by buying the mini version going by the reviews on the internet. Please buy a regular iPhone or even better a pro version. The battery life is terrible. Although name itself suggests its a mini phone, you will eventually feel its not worth the money we are spending. I switched to a 14 pro recently believe me I feel like using a premium phone now, and iPhone mini isn't cheap either remember !

@Jaquille-o7v Год назад

Thx for that I’m looking for I new phone right now

@iManual Год назад

If youre using your phone more than 8 hours a day, thats kind sad

@vin2629 Год назад

@@iManual Lol you need an authenticator app to log in to your workplace as well. I have a job and its pretty normal to use a phone for longer hours. There is a reason why apple stopped mini as well. Sty away from that phone

@iManual Год назад

@@vin2629 I got it a week ago and it’s been great so far. Got it refurbished as to not spend too much.. got the battery at 86% health but it still is enough for my everyday use which includes editing, photography, and social media. A phones a phone.. it can’t be that deep
