I know it took me a while to save for my iPhone 11... I don't use a case, though. The aluminum and glass feels delightful on the hand, truly a waste to cover its feel and beauty. But I can understand the appeal... I rather be extra cautious still, though.
I’m seeing a lot of bad reviews about 12 mini and really make no sense. Because I have the 12 mini and using it 6:00-22:30 without the need to charge. On 5G I’m getting 5:30 on screen and on 4G slightly more than 7 hours ON SCREEN guys. That means some days I’m going to sleep with more than 50% after all day without charge. I’m impressed!
I’ve been using my mini since launch day and been getting 6.5 -7.5 hours of screen time which is all day usage for me. Mostly TH-cam, safari, mail, productivity apps, etc. One handed use all day. Love my mini. Real question tho, who uses navigation in their car while not charging? Now that’s dangerous
Perhaps a sponsorship requirement? Maybe the sponsor didn't want any other 'brands' to be prominently displayed in this video even though it's a video about an iPhone 12 Mini🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's the only thing that makes sense to me. It's only blurred for that portion of the video.
I’d like a pro mini with 3 cameras, 6gb ram, 120hz Display and in-Screen fingerprint scanner. And if they make it thicker for a bigger battery there wouldn’t be an annoying camera bump. 🤷♂️ that would be an awesome phone!

@@Harry._.Thompson music is completely fine. The problem is intensive gaming and FaceTime (with auto eye detection and 1080p). When the phone is just using casual apps like any social media app or safari then it’s completely fine cause the cpu is barely doing anything and that’s where the optimization is. But when u FaceTime or game a lot the cpu has to actually work and that’s when the battery drains a lot.
Been using the mini for a month now. Hands down best phone I ever used. Absolutely love the size and the speed. No issues with the battery life with how I’m using the phone. I’m using an iPad at home and iPhone when I’m outside/commuting/at work and this combo is great. For me, the Pro max is way too big and uncomfortable for a phone, and too small for a tablet. So, compromises everywhere. And for the price, you can get a 12 mini + new iPad. Both offering a better experience for me.
I have this phone and the "bad battery life" belief is blown out of proportion. Now if you're someone who takes tons of pictures and videos, play games all day and constantly stay on your phone...yes, you'll kill the smaller battery much quicker. However, if you're an adult who actually spends his or her time working the majority of the day and not spend so much time on the phone, this battery will be adequate for that kind of usage. I don't play games on my phone so that's off the table. The most strenuous activity I'll do on my 12 Mini is watch a few TH-cam videos here and there, but that's it. And even if my battery were to get low, I work in an office environment where I can just plug it up. Unless you're a kid who spends all day on his or her phone, this phone would do just fine for most people. The screen itself would deter those who want a bigger screen which is fine; to each his or her own. But I highly recommend that anyone who's interested in this phone but are worried about the battery to strongly consider buying it. That's only if you don't need a powerhouse of a phone. This is perfect for those who have no need for it, but want to enjoy the same performance as the other 12 models in a much smaller form factor.
@@jabronicorleone6208 and still, 4.5 h of screen on time isnt that bad. if you optimized it a bit better (no 5g, no gps, dark mode, less brightness) you could easily get 6-7 h of screen on time
As a physically disabled person that rely's completely on a wheelchair for mobility. I find that the much smaller form factor, similar to the iphone 5 I think. Is just MUCH easier for portability and carrying. The smaller phones are just way easier to take in and out of pockets/bags etc.
@@mickfitz76 I recently do the same. First iphone, choose the mini.. My anterior phone is a 5.2 inch. Never liked the 5.5 inch smartphones. Even this is too big. So, the mini is perfect.

That mini iPhone 12 is a real marvel of engineering of the current lineup, how they were able to cram all the circuitry, 5G antennas in that mini form factor and still retain similar level performance, Apple deserves a 👍 for that
Thanks man! You really made up my mind and I am going for the mini. Also yours is the first review of something on YT that has been genuinely funny! I hope your seats will always look pristine!
I came from an 6.4” phone, also no tiny human at all (1.9m/6’3”), was waiting so many years for a small devices like this, and not disappointed (even considering the screen a bit big for my taste).
Dude.. i like onething about your videos.. the backgrounds of all your videos.. they look so clean and cinematic indoor or outdoor ur videos look so so so elegant.. when i feel sad or not in my elements, i prefer to watch ur cinematic charismatic backgrounds in videos.. especially those blur effects like 6:10 and 01:08
i went from the xr to the 12 pro max, i was deciding over the regular 12/12 pro or the pro max & im glad i went with the max mostly bc of the battery life
I actually switched from the iPhone 11 Pro Max to this, really enjoying it. Missed the small form factor. Amazing though you get the good specs even though it’s small.
I decided to swap my iPhone 12 Pro for the 12 mini ... I hesitated a lot and was not sure I made the right choice ... but quickly I loved the mini! Perfect size! It is never bulky to carry and easy to use with one hand. It is light and therefore pleasant to hold. I am happy with my choice!
