iPhone 12 Mini vs iPhone SE (2020) - Full Comparison! 

Of course

Nope

Still using SE2020 but tommorow i'll have 12 Mini

Obviously

yesssssssss its way better

Which is why they can sell it for a small loss & upgrade 🙂

@@BrandonButch yes maybe 😅 nice point.

@@BrandonButch yep. Damn straight.

That’s sad, I really want an iPhone 12 and I have an SE right now. (2016 iPhone SE)

Literally bought mine two days ago lol no real reason to upgrade besides camera quality

Yes!! I need my 400 usd back😂

Yeah the iPhone Se X back in the rumors when the X was the newest phone

I was using the se and kept thinking damn I wish this was just full screen and was easier to hold and it would be perfect lmao

Hate to be a bearer of less than ideal news, I tried the Mini and its screen is a couple mm narrower than my iPhone 7 (which means also 8 and SE). This means 16:9 videos are a bit smaller and so is the browsing experience. It may be fine for many, but it was an issue for me as I expected 5.4" to not be smaller than 4.7". I wish Apple used a more "normal" aspect ratio on such a small phone.

But no longer with the price of se 😐

Exactly. Even the 11 was too big for me. And the 11 Pro was too expensive.

right.. i went from 4S to the original SE then switched to XR and it was a massive jump in size loool might order the mini as soon as it's available in my country

Exactly, I ordered my mini can’t wait to swap from this huge iPhone 11 it’s just to damn uncomfortable to text although movies and gaming look amazing on the iPhone 11

Sadly all phone manufacturers pushing their flagship devices bigger and bigger each year, all said Apple did it.

I love big ones, i have an se, its enough for me

Very true I say we should vote to rename the SE to the iPhone 9 and the 12 mini to SE

@@kodylazz1092 nah... the SE is always the older version of phine models. Thats what the SE2 is.

@@menkirdennis6686 and its way cheaper bruh

@@kodylazz1092 it should not be change to se, iphone 12 mini is enough

True indeed

Ewww

Tbf Face ID isnt mandatory. I just got the 12 mini and have been relying on the number code alone, though I’m sure that can also pose its own inconveniences (pulling up GPS when driving, etc.)

Same ☺️

your know trash batter life i on 2020 se? i on that pos phone an it be getting 4 hour a best. im thinking to get 12 pro max or switch to android. no people with a half brain would consider to by a 2020 se

@@ittbelitt8409 chill bruh

You could save some money and get the iPhone SE 2016. You’d still get the latest software for at least 9 - 10 more months and you’d still have the same size of the 5s👀

I'm still surprised that the iOS software is updating on a 5S. I know I saw one update a while back and maybe I misunderstood, but I thought they only went as far back as a 6 or a 6+. On iOS updates. I'll tell you my SE still has $366 on it that I have to pay to Verizon to get rid of it. But I got a friend that needs a beginning phone. She has an iPad but no phone -- Go figure. I'm thinking about seeing if I can work out a deal to get rid of this. Get myself a 12 mini. But I have certainly have enjoyed all of the back-and-forth with this information on this without us destroying each other. That is certainly appreciated...peace all. Gail in Central FL 11/15/2020

@@gailremp8389 yes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I had iphone 5s too, now i have the iphone se

Brave man using a phone with 0 software support. Got too much to lose, need a phone with security updates

Yes it does it has all the flagship features of the 12 lineup minus battery life and telephoto camera that’s literally it It’s way better than the SE

Dame Dizzle Still not enough to upgrade to mini

@@Dame77090 Who wants "Flagship"? I want "Pirate Ship" baby!!

Hi. My name is Gail -- I'm down in Central Florida. I am a long time Apple user and I have the SE also. 1) congratulations on flipping over to Apple. Or as I call it, 'Apple -- the devices you love to hate.' Because when they are doing great, they are. And when they don't, you want to take a hammer to them. But just call your main local Apple store number and press 'technology' and you will connect with an Apple technician at another location. And they can guide you through and out of a lot of situations and answer simple questions that you think you know the answer to but aren't sure They can sync into your phone and show you what you need to do to make it right. You don't have to make an appointment to go into the store or anything like that. Not really. They will save your butt and not make you feel terrible for not understanding something. I have used the Apple products for about 11-12 years now, and I still have to call and they're still just as nice as when I was a beginner. 2) I started with an iPhone 4 and then went to a 6+ a few years later until it died, my fault, and now have the SE. I hope that you bought a higher level than the SE 64 GB. It should be OK for the meantime. But when you finally to upgrade get a minimum of a 128 GB in which ever iPhone you pick. You'll will be glad you did because of iOS updates. 3) in the old days you had to let your phones or your iPads come down to about 15% before you re-charged the battery. Now with better batteries and new understanding, you can keep them at 100% with very little problems with major loss of battery life. I drive a VW Beetle. And it has CarPlay. And my iPhone is plugged in all the time when I am out for the navigation and everything. And it's at 100%. It really comes in handy in case of an emergency. It's not one time when you want your phone down to 30% and you know it's going to die. Not good. Very scary. Or just when you are out a long time. You don't have to freak out that you aren't going to have any power. And last, but not least 4). NOW, We have to get you into an iPad also for at home. Everything is linked together so you can sit at home and get text messages on your iPad and see them. Amd emails, etc. And all of the pictures you might take someday will transfer over all the data goes back-and-forth between the two. A buddy of mine that was android all the way and didn't understand that until I showed her how it worked. And about three months ago she finally made the big plunge. She is still getting used to it but she is very glad that she did. Because it's logical and it makes sense and that's kind of nice in this crazy world. So have a lot of fun. You're going to have good days and bad days. But you're going to have a lot of fun. Peace.

I still have my iPhone 8 and I rather pay Apple $50 to replace my battery than to upgrade to the 12 mini. The battery health is at 77% max capacity.

True indeed, of course if I had the option between the two I would’ve picked the mini but just purchased this SE2 late 2020. I’d be a fool to upgrade now..I’ll wait

Exactly! I’m new to iPhone what’s up with that?

Drop resistant is good too. Dropping ur phone can shatter the glass, when your screen is scratched, it just looks bad. Shatter-resistant is prolly more valuable than scratch-resistant (right now)

@@mogiehope8056 it’s have ceramic Shield with it’s 4 time more drop resistant than regular glass and it’s have the same Scratching as the glass on the previous iPhone

Well tbh no

I also have the iPhone SE and it been great as well

Some people say the new SE’s battery isn’t much better. I’m typing this on the old SE and I’m sure it’s a lot better.

@@Nikkk6969it not that bad, I came from an iPhone 4s btw

@@shibag534 My goodness. 4? I am so proud of you. I started with an iPhone 4 back -- gosh it's been quite a while-- 1200s? Ha ha. I don't change phones like people think is necessary or cool. Mine just finally died of old age. And when I upgraded to the 6+ I felt like I was queen for a day. And then when it died at an unfortunate time (and since I needed a new iPad also at the same time) $ WAS an object -- so I went to the SE through Verizon... The phone is terrible, because I use the iPad for everything unless I am out in the world. And I use CarPlay in my Beetle. But it's just is not the phone for me. I know that sounds very fancy dancy as a complaint but it just is not a good thing for me personally. If I had the extra money it would make a great back up phone in the drawer. I'm doing my best to sell it to a friend of mine and then get the 12 mini or ? I'm not sure at this point. But I just wanted to smile and congratulate you on having a 4 and it's still hanging in there . It's probably doing better I am right now. But then I'm far, far older than my phone..😎

I agree! I got the iPhone se 2020 and love it

Skip 12 mini , wait for 13 or 14 (mini led, touch id)

I get that it’s much cheaper, but it looks sooo dated and ugly with those huge bezels, home button, and tiny 720p lcd display. It even lacks essential features like Face ID and gestures. That reason alone is a dealbreaker on the SE

@The RoadRunnerWell then In that case, enjoy using your ancient 2014-looking iPhone SE with huge ass bezels and home button, if you really think Touch ID is THAT essential🤣🤦‍♂️

I think people need to buy what they're comfortable with and...ta da...can afford. Honestly. I had a 6+ that I dearly loved but thanks to a weirdo accident I finally killed it after years. I bought the SE because of the cost at the time. I wish I could've bought the 12 mini but it wasn't in the cards at the time. But I also use an iPad and take it with me when I am out. And that's what I use for Photos. So people please stop berating other people for their choices because you don't agree with them. We could use a little humanity and respect for each other right about now in this GD world. It's not that important. For all the griping that you do, you could get out from behind your phones, go out there in the real world and help someone that is in worse shape than you are (wow, what a concept.) Then you would feel good, you would still have a great phone and you wouldn't have made someone else feel bad. Just throwing it out there for your consideration.Please people -- stop it. Petulance is not appreciated. Also, there are multiple flavors of ice cream in this world. Do we all like the same flavor? Nope . Sheesh

True it’s got a really solid performance and in my opinion is so underrated.

@@ruthmulroy7888 underated? it's garbage.

literally my thoughts! i ended up ordering the se :)

I promise you will not be disappointed with the SE. Take it from a person who has used “modern” looking iPhones. After a while the bezels are not that big a deal. People who care about them honestly only care about “aesthetics”. I love the iPhone SE and don’t really want to get any iPhone from the 12 series.

@@teejaythomas9420 thank you. i hope i will like it, because my se comes tomorrow!

Honestly the iPhone se2020 is a rlly great, speedy phone and for the price offering it’s a great deal! But if you want a solid phone to have for the next several years and are willing to pay the extra three hundred probs go with the 12 mini...

WOO! Got the 12 mini and I'm so glad I did, I prefer the squared design and adore the colour!! Was definitely worth paying a bit more for it :)

and crying

@@jejunamja lol get an upgrade bud got mine and paid $90 total lol I have $200 something more in my pocket with a 12 mini in hand

I'd say the 12 mini is the "classic" shape, dating back to the iPhone4.

@@jasonsims007 .. The SE 2020 is a choice for people on a budget or ones that like to save money on a great product because I know a lot of poor people with iPhone 12’s & minis right now that can barely afford them but hey to each’s own🤷🏾‍♂️

I watch videos on my SE 2020 all the time doesn’t bother me and I have an iPad when I’m home don’t matter if my phone is big or small I can watch videos on both!

"I love Face ID over the Home Button" -- would you reconsider your statement when you are trying to quickly unlock your phone while wearing a mask

@@naveenvenkateshk We don’t wear masks that much here where I live, but it would be annoying to switch your face recognition all the time, so I always bring my backup iPhone with me, and it has a Home Button , so it’s really never a problem for me 😊

@DTrey FloatGoat My backup is the iPhone 7 Plus, and my daily driver is the 11 Pro Max.

@DTrey FloatGoat I’m carrying them in my purse where they have their separate pocket 😊

@DTrey FloatGoat Yeah I can understand it if you’re mostly carrying it in your pants pocket 😬 I’ve always carried it in my jackets pocket, if I don’t have my purse with me. So here in the winter time it actually varies 😊

OK, I think I changed my mind. I had the same iPhone 5 for over 5 years. Since I keep phones so dang long, going with the 12mini makes sense.

If they get rid of the charging port on the 13 like is being rumored I don’t think I’ll upgrade from the 12 mini for a very long time.

Thank you for watching! More to come :)

The back has 2x better shatter resistance whereas the front has 4x better than the 11.

Thanks!!

Just got my new 2020 SE for $150 ($200 @ Total Wireless and they were running a 25% off coupon earlier this week!). Can't beat that when they're selling the 12 Mini for $729 (which didn't qualify for the 25% off either)....

Because people who are buying the SE either have a potato IQ, or are broke @ss peasants who can’t afford anything better. And judging by this comment section alone, there seems to be plenty of individuals in that criteria

@@user-kx6rp4nm2n ain't the mini a broke ass version of the 12 tho

12 mini would win that easily

I keep hoping Samsung will come out with a small phone!

SE has poor battery performance. If you want to perform a couple of calls/ video meetings and check emails, the battery won't even last more than 8-10 hrs. I have been using the SE as my primary phone since late Sept. For light-moderate usage I usually get around 24-30 hrs of battery backup(I check 90% of my emails and attend all meetings on my laptop). Never got even 60%-70% of Apple's claims mentioned on their website. A colleague of mine said he recently switched to a 11pro max mainly for better battery backup. He said a bigger phone has a bigger battery and hence a better battery life.

@@naveenvenkateshk it’s called battery case stupid

@@naveenvenkateshk you are completely wrong! Mine last me all day long, and I have six hours of on screen. I text, make phone calls, watch RU-vid, and shop. I actually left the house on a full battery came home that night and still had 20% left. I guess it depends on what you do, and how you treat your phone.

Hope you like attaching a barnacle to the back of your phone to charge it when they get rid of the charging port.

They will probably do the new iPhone 13 mini’s with both touch & Face ID I don’t think they want to put every feature on everything so they can actually have something to sell for the next go around it’s probably all a marketing thing!

Se 2020 is a great phone, the battery life is what the main thing you have to sacrifice. You can even forget that the bezels are even there.

Me too I think I’m going to stick with my SE 2020 until I see what the 13 mini looking like I have an XR as well that I’m going to trade back in because I don’t use it!

@@hollywoodthedj1673 nice!! i don’t see a point in buying ANOTHER new phone right off. by the look of it they will make a 13 mini, maybe with better camera quality. so next september i’ll see how i feel about getting that.

Thanks for letting us know that. Care to tell us more about your life?

@@jasonsims007 stfu.

I agree on your opinion man, generally I always look out for it to dumb so I can purchase some more truly I believe it has come to stay

What's really the idea behind this bitcoin investment anyway, because all I do is buy when it falls and sell when it goes high

Joy Melissa Bitcoin investment is just like is just like every other form of speculative investment where you trade commodities to determine which gains or losses against another in order to make profits, just like in forex trading

Relating Bitcoin investment to forex trading definitely means they are risk involved, and just how do you take appropriate risk measures

of course, in bitcoin investment suitable risk management is aimed at reducing the loss rate thereby giving you a better chance to win your trades and ensure good ROI

I had them in my hand today and yes the video playback is not as wide as on the SE 2. So you get extra screen vertically but you lose horizontally which is what’s holding me back I really wanted to love the mini but I’m concerned it’s a touch too Mini! Scratching my head if I should just get an SE 2 instead. upgrading from a 6. Wouldn’t mind touch ID these days anyway

There’s no major difference in texting on the 2 but if I had to choose one that’s more comfortable, it’s the 12 mini

@@BrandonButch Thank you. It is not the actual texting. I dictate and then double check. It's the fact that visually it is even with larger font it is hard for me to see. As I said I'm old as dirt and doing the best I can as old as dirt. I had the 6+ and it was great. But as I said it died of old age. I guess I thought it was going to outlive me. But nope. So I will check out the 12 mini. At the time I just needed a phone. And I got it through Verizon which I never ever ever ever do. But I didn't have the extra money at the time. (I had to replace my iPad the same week. Don't ask.). So I'm going to call Verizon and see if I can negotiate a settlement, so to speak. Peace and blessings -- thanks so much for your response and Courtesy and take care of yourself. We need you. Gail
