If you want to see what the trip was like from Fisher's perspective, his video from the trip just went live on the 12 Mini and Max! - th-cam.com/video/zP9AgA9diEQ/w-d-xo.html
Lol. He scrolled chrome for an 1hr 16 mins Gmaps 46 mins Camera 20 mins Instagram for 27 mins. I would kill the battery in real world usage.. I actually would use imessage and use the phone to make calls.. I dont really think this was a real day use.
@Josh Kuempfel Its funny you should say this. Because I'm contemplating the 12 mini, and using an Xs rn, and that thing's battery (to me) is absolutely horrendous.
Got my 12 mini from a 12 pro. Love the small form factor and don’t regret switching at all. Hate carrying bricks in my pocket. Great 👍 video love the scenery
@@diablokendall1 pretty good. I’m a nurse so I work long shifts. Unplug 6am with moderate use to 8pm on average. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take for a more convenient form factor!
Dude I love my mini. I upgraded from a iPhone XS. I love the sleek small mini it fits so perfectly in the hand and the battery last's all day for my use.
A quick suggestion: is it possible to add the phone battery left like on the top left or right so that we could like see the battery drop as you vlog/review.
@@taualphanu2920 if you swipe down from the top it brings down the control centre and u can see the battery percent you can also do something in settings
@@littleleah5182 i think he meant to make the battery life percentage visible on top left or right of the video to see the draining process during the vlog.
@KeepitMelo 41 "Normal" is subjective from person to person though. Like someone like me isn't a heavy user, hell I can't even be called a medium user. I use my phone as a phone and camera...streaming, gaming, all media I have my PC for. So basically any phone I use since the iphone 4 to different Samsung Galaxies have always lasted all day or longer, but I also am the type to always keep my phone charged and have a charger on standby at work, home and in my car.
@KeepitMelo 41 You're correct as well. And from what we can see they have done just that, especially apple with these different phones. A heavy user would probably do best getting the pro or pro max where as a not so frequent user would do fine on the mini or the normal 12. Like best example I've compared with my sister both of us have iphone 11s. She's a heavy user and I'm not. at the end of the day we compared our battery life and she was at 30% where I was still sitting at 85%. Even as I'm typing this, it's almost 12:30am and I just checked my iphone 11 and I'm sitting at 87%. So for folks like me, I could see myself probably getting through the day and possibly night on the mini before it dies, but a heavy user who uses their phone as their main source of media consumption and entertainment? They'd more than likely not even get through a single 8 hour work day, so getting the pro or pro max would more than likely be better for them.
I tried using my dad’s iPhone 14 Plus after using my iPhone 14 for 3 months and I just couldn’t I mean the bigger battery and the bigger screen was nice but I just couldn’t use a phone that big and I again reminded myself why I picked the iPhone 14 over the iPhone 14 Plus
I don’t about anyone else but that pasta looked amazing...sorry the mini took some nice pictures but then again the pixel 5 took some nice ones too. The pixels cameras are just unbelievable.
Really enjoy these videos. I get a tech review, a history lesson of something I never would have known, and I like the behind the scenes feeling to the videos.
This was such a great video!! I loved everything about it! Thank you for your comparison shots, especially the night shots!!! love Mystic Seaport! Havent been there in years!!
Another great video, like going on mini trips with you, stuck in lockdown here in England. Couldn't convince Me Imel to join you on this trip? Keep up the good work!
Wanting t o know a little bit about this one, not the first option because I'm too engaged to Android/Windows right now, but doesn't look bad at all (if price isn't a problem)
Great video. I wanted to buy iPhone 12 mini just today but was put off by this newly discovered issue with the touchscreen not working with case and screen protector on.... any thoughts on this?
@@stephanemora8288 Yeah, just heard... thnx. But I don't know exactly how this was a software and not a hardware issue. Maybe something to do with magnets :-)))
Put your labels a little higher so that when we zoom in for the wide display phones we can read the labels. Right now the labels when i zoom in just disappear which is a little frustating. Plz fix this.
I sold my 11 pro for the 12 mini 256Gb. I got the largest Gb for the 12 mini because I plan on having this phone for a long while. I really like the size & I’m so happy they made a small phone ❣️
To me you are a unique vlogger because I enjoy your videos of the interesting places you visit with your vlogger friends, to shoot your reviews of phones. I send the videos to my daughter who happens to live in New York to visit those interesting towns. I think your friend Andrew is from Portland, hopefully he will do similar videos when he is in the Pacific Northwest. The Droid Life vloggers which they did the same since they live in Portland. I do follow @MrMobile and added Andrew few days ago to follow his channel.
You are not only a good reviewer dear friend but also a great knowledge bank.!! Your videos are very interesting and very full of life .. best of luck ❤️ keep posting such a wonderful stuff love from india 🇮🇳
I just hope there will be really slim majorly small upgrade battery cases. You don´t need like 6000 mah battery cases a slim 500-1500 mah would already fix the battery issue for me i usually maximum need 5 hours screen on time for a day.
What would make me excited about this phone would be headphone jack, and a fingerprint reader on the side of the phone. Apple is more interested in making money than actually offering features that people want.
the Face ID is so good a fingerprint scanner is not required and would not add anything to the phone. most headphones/buds these days are bluetooth so not many will miss the headphone jack, but thats easily solved with an adapter if really needed
@@paineys3341 face id is only good if you don't wear a mask.... I'd at least like both, on my Sony the fingerprint scanner has always been good, my siblings (all 4 of them have apple phones) say they hate how unreliable face id is the instant they where a mask. Dx
You should compare the iPhone SE 2020 with the Samsung s20 FE, they are cheap smartphones with technical specifications of the high-end ones, and they are the "special edition" of each brand
Considering that your usage want typically heavy, I'd still say the battery is on the smaller side, which is, obvious. I like the idea of Mini, and it might have been my personal favourite flagship (it's basically a flagship) this year, but the battery is a huge downside, which, you know, I'm pretty sure Apple could've gone for at least something like 2500-2600 mah easily. I think it's 2200 something right? I think a 400 mah jump would've meant a lot. Great video as always though, Mr Unlockr
Thank you for continuously putting out phenomenal content! The vloggy vibe is so refreshing! As a great plus, we get to learn about a lot places, too! I always wait for the “coffee, check!” Lol
Absolutely f*g brilliant David! Perfect subject matter for YOUR Real World Testing formula - even Michael's on board 😉 Think I've died & gone to heaven!! He led us to believe (sorry, watched his first) that Mini couldn't make it through the day - you blew that out of the water - 5% after midnight is fine by me. Loved the venue & the new team! Expect your travel wings have to be clipped by Covid for a while BUT, You have the right formula! Love it 😀
I’m getting mine this week!!! My moms upgrading my iPhone 7 to this (had a iPhone XR before the 12 mini and It died after 1 yr. (granted I’m rough with my stuff. But the camera on the xr really was better than the 7 but I can’t take good pictures with the XR plus I try to get into vlogging and feel like the 12 mini is a better phone for that. Also I have baby hands 🤣)
"If you want a smaller phone, you don't have another option if you only looking iPhone..." - So what option do you have in Android land? Nothing as well... :/

Thanks bud! A pleasure to share the road with you as always! Now brush up on your Rupert Holmes. 😄
Glad your back from your vlogging ☺️☺️
ya intro is funny 🤣👊🏻...
Considering your heavy usage, and the fact that you traveled a lot that day, I'd say the battery is amazing
Lol. He scrolled chrome for an 1hr 16 mins
Gmaps 46 mins
Camera 20 mins
Instagram for 27 mins.
I would kill the battery in real world usage..
I actually would use imessage and use the phone to make calls..
I dont really think this was a real day use.
@Josh Kuempfel thats actually what i get on the mini, but honestly wish i wouldve gone with the bigger 12 because i get battery anxiety..
@Josh Kuempfel Its funny you should say this. Because I'm contemplating the 12 mini, and using an Xs rn, and that thing's battery (to me) is absolutely horrendous.
@@MrHollowmickz XS Max or regular XS?
@@jaspalriat6001 regular XS.
FINALLY a tiny flagship. I'm totally buying one, and I hope Apple keeps making these.
I went from the 11 pro picked up a 128gb mini and love it. Feels like the 5/SE perfection. Buy it!
mines ariving in 3 months im sooo exited im getting the same one
@@chervi4723 why so long?
@@parallelm0tivation i dunno happy new year tho
@@JWOY-h5h How is the camera compared to 11 pro
Got my 12 mini from a 12 pro. Love the small form factor and don’t regret switching at all. Hate carrying bricks in my pocket. Great 👍 video love the scenery
How is your battery life?
@@diablokendall1 pretty good. I’m a nurse so I work long shifts. Unplug 6am with moderate use to 8pm on average. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take for a more convenient form factor!
Cool
Dude I love my mini. I upgraded from a iPhone XS. I love the sleek small mini it fits so perfectly in the hand and the battery last's all day for my use.
I love this channel so much. This man always listens to his community and has the best camera test for any phone.
A quick suggestion: is it possible to add the phone battery left like on the top left or right so that we could like see the battery drop as you vlog/review.
He’d have to screen record all day? Maybe
@@jamiecullen9075 maybe like write down some hours and interpolate the percentages inbetween

@@littleleah5182 i think he meant to make the battery life percentage visible on top left or right of the video to see the draining process during the vlog.
Honestly came for Battery
It lasts all day
@@808Affliction yes but if you gonna keep it for 2 or 3 years ..it won't last as much. I'll just get 11 pro in a deal or something
Abdalla I feel like next year they are gonna make an upgraded mini. I’ll trade it in. Lol

This what we need, real life test not a studio test that sometimes too much technical. We all know that we used the phone for daily life, so on point.
I tried using my dad’s iPhone 14 Plus after using my iPhone 14 for 3 months and I just couldn’t I mean the bigger battery and the bigger screen was nice but I just couldn’t use a phone that big and I again reminded myself why I picked the iPhone 14 over the iPhone 14 Plus

Your review relaxes me!!! Thanks
It’s cool that all 33 of you take trips like this to test out products..Love it!!
Best mix of tech and traveling world .. can't wait for your coming reviews 🔥
I’m watching this and I’m honestly so surprised how good it was. Got to learn some history and a day in the life keep up the good work!
Flying in to JFK from the UK I used to see ‘Mystic Seaport’ on the inflight map and wondered what it was - now I know, thanks!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
iPad mini 5 plus iPhone 12 mini is the perfect combo for me.
Really enjoy these videos. I get a tech review, a history lesson of something I never would have known, and I like the behind the scenes feeling to the videos.
First time owning an iPhone (iPhone 12) and yes, all photos have this exaggerated yellow tint. it's not just warm which is far from the "real" color.
Great video as always ... love seeing you hanging out with your friends (and drinking coffee)
That intro and the vlog made my day, extremely entertaining! 😆👍
Thank you for watching!
9:35 the way you saying those word is really amazing hahah, fast but not stuttering
Wow, TH-cam read my mind! I opened the app to look for a review of the 12 Mini and this was in my suggested ^^
This color is so cute , I just buy and love it so much
Favorite Real World Test Channel No Cap💯
Keep up the good work! May you get more success!
I not surprised Fisher likes boat 🚣♀️🥸
exactly hahaha
Well you convinced me to buy one. Thank you for the video.
Do you start off with 100% battery when you do these test?
This was such a great video!! I loved everything about it! Thank you for your comparison shots, especially the night shots!!! love Mystic Seaport! Havent been there in years!!
The pixel 5 picture looked amazing in the comparison
Been Ready For This One💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
LOVE videos like this. Keep em coming.
I'm a very light user, my SE 2020 lasted 2 days at least without the need to charge, can I expect the same here?
Another great video, like going on mini trips with you, stuck in lockdown here in England. Couldn't convince Me Imel to join you on this trip? Keep up the good work!
I love my mini using for an year perfectly ok with the battery life and love this mini form factor
I think it’s a great phone. For those with small hands it’s an amazing phone. I have the iPhone 12 normal size and it’s amazing.
I’ve been checking your TH-cam channel for This video like every day ! Love ur videos , keep going man 💪🏻
Me too. I louveee his content man!
Could have subscribed instead to get the video in the feed 😂
Coffee - check. Fisher - check. Wine - check. Great video as always, love these 🔥🔥
I'm torn between the SE 3 I just got, or exchanging it for the 12 mini.
Great video. I really like your Real World tests. I have the Mini since launch day and I love it
Wanting t o know a little bit about this one, not the first option because I'm too engaged to Android/Windows right now, but doesn't look bad at all (if price isn't a problem)
I think I love the mini it's so easy to use and also it's so fitable in hand
I’m in love with the way you are taking tech reviews... vloging style with some good company.
Loved it man, whatever you do ,Keep the good work continue.... Cheers
May u please make a video between iphone 12 mini and samsung s21 please
Great video. I wanted to buy iPhone 12 mini just today but was put off by this newly discovered issue with the touchscreen not working with case and screen protector on.... any thoughts on this?
Fixed with 14.2.1 ios update today

Great job. Your videos are informative and realistic. Your voice is nice and natural. Coffee - checked 😄😄😄
Thank you so much!
Screen on time?? Could not read , I suggest if you could read the sot in all your tests coz at times it's tooo blurry for us to make out
Very nice video. What about typing experience??? Thanks a lot.
I sold my 11 pro for the 12 mini 256Gb. I got the largest Gb for the 12 mini because I plan on having this phone for a long while. I really like the size & I’m so happy they made a small phone ❣️
“It sucks. It’s tiny.”
There’s a reason it’s called the mini lmao. Also, it does have a smaller footprint than the SE, but a larger screen.
Great locations as usual.
should I get a green or blue mini? distressed over this decision
If you really use phones more then 4 hour , means you are jobless, iff you are an youtuber or your works are on your phones, thats acceptable
To me you are a unique vlogger because I enjoy your videos of the interesting places you visit with your vlogger friends, to shoot your reviews of phones.

Next time take some portrait shots too, please
Nice video :D this convince me to move to iOS because i been Android user since the begining.

How to free check carrier iPhone?

Love your real life tests 👍
2:25 now that’s really a hard hitting one👌
Excellent video 📸😊 good photos, ✌🏼
Best review, I am a fan now on! And Yeaah! Am buying iPhone 12mini after watching this review 🙏
2:23
Thank you, that gives me plenty of hope for humanity
Terima kasih :)
Do you have a real world test on the se?
I love these trips out..
Why my 12 mini pic so high contrast when taking pic
Good one again David.
Thank you!
Damn that battery is good
Hey, can you do wide portraits with the iPhone 12 mini? Im not meaning the ultra wide, but 24mm wide portrait?
im saving up for one so probably in liek 4 months i will get one

Mystic CT is like 15 mins away from me 😀
interesting that both the pro and mini came very close in terms of sot time in your tests (both 4.5hrs). i'd have exptected the pro to do better...

I need to visit Connecticut.
Finally, a phone my children will enjoy!
Was waiting for the battery test badly....
Speaking of boats and being on the dock a few times, does Mr. Mobile also go by Dexter? 😂🤣

They're in the right place 🤷♂️
