it was on obviously not gonna be this since it's a iphone se. apple knew what they were doing when they were making the se. they were saving it for the 12 mini.
I feel a lot - if not all - of the reviews of the iPhone 12 mini are slightly misleading. “It’s very small” is the reaction and reviewers are quick to compare it to the original and newest iPhone SE. Whilst I understand why this Is an obvious comparison, I feel it’s a bit like comparing apples to oranges. The iPhone 12 mini has a 5.4” screen, which is a tiny 0.1” shy of the screen on all of the iPhone Plus models. And it was never viewed as being small. I had the iPhone 12 and returned it for the mini. It’s so far not disappointed. The more important factor for me personally is the battery life and I will soon find out how much a difference there is to the other models.
Got mine(White) this Friday! Totally in love with it. Honestly I can do with smaller phone but I don't think that's gonna happen. Having said that it's definitely usable with one hand. Reg battery life, I am light user and I end the day with more than 40% battery.
I am thinking to give my iPhone 11 Pro to my wife and buy for me iPhone 12 Mini, but we don't have this iphones in my country yet, so I am waiting to go and hold this phone in real life in my hands and after this I might understand better if I need it or not but trust me after using iPhone 7 which was PERFECT, I repeat PERFECT fits in my hands and I never had a problem using it with 1 hand because I am using iPhone 11 Pro since August and till this days I struggle a problem about using it with 1 hand, I even got a Ring case so I can hold it better...iPhone 12 Mini is a really great phone and battery life is also will be enough for a daily / smart usage. Thanks, Brandon! Love your videos!
Imo the mini was the only right move in worth buying in a world of big brick phones which carry their own greatness, this mini size has its own set of fans I’m definitely one of those fans & was hoping in 2024 a reprise of this size phone, as it is a phone at the end of the day
there's not a huge difference between their battery life. The regular 12 lasts about an hour or two, at most, than the mini. The mini, for its size, still has a great battery life.
@@burfside Go to your local Apple store & ask for a repair- I’m doing the same b/c the battery is not holding the charge....So for 65$ getting complete new battery & I’ll be better off in the long run....
Hi! May I ask if you’re using both a case and a screen protector on the 12 mini? And are you experiencing any touch issues when you’re in the lock screen?
I love my 12 pro. But, damn, I should’ve gone for the mini... Coming from a X, that didn’t have functional Face ID and broken back glass, I couldn’t wait to get a new phone, and have Face ID back. I really wanted the better camera/lidar, but I wish they had they made a mini pro.
I have iPhone XR, I don't mind the size that much, but I always felt somewhere around 5.5 inches would be ideal. I might have to upgrade to a smaller one.
I would say it is kind of dumb, because the iPhone 11 Pro is pretty good. There's really no reason to switch for at least a few years unless the phone breaks, or you just love the new features.
Surprise to know it didn’t get as hot bc i saw other few other youtubers said it did gets heated up so easily. Nonetheless, glad to know! Still debating between the mini or the regular iphone 12.
Then you have to feel it in the hand it’s not the same at all. And those are the 6-8 this is called “mini” because it is tiny with the iPhone 12 line, it’s not supposed to be compared to the older phones
Why get something that is a popular design but too expensive to buy? This post was made by the XR gang (the bezel less designed phone you can get at a relatively cheap price) (this comment was not meant to hurt other feelings and not intentional)
I was debating same thing, I went with the white, I think it looks cleaner personally, the black kinda gives me cheap plastic keyboard 🎹 from Walmart vibes
I think you're making a mistake in saying, 6 speakers and 8 speakers. Well as far as I know there aren't so many speakers. maybe one or two. But, correct me if I'm wrong.
That’s been the case since 2018 with the iPhone XR line up. Making you get repairs from an Apple authorised service provider. I mean if you’re going to get an iPhone at least get it repaired properly.
@@josephw6977 Hm, I haven't had problems with getting my XR repaired at third party repair shops. I got the battery swapped out and it was still able to tell me the battery health whereas with the 12, if you were to even swap batteries around with other 12's, you'll still find it not working.
@@Basstyle1 it was with iOS 13 I believe that they locked it so you had to go and get it serviced from Apple or an authorised service provider. I don’t see what the problem is
That is a nice phone but the iPhone 12 6.1 inch is better and easier to see. The battery life on iPhone 12 is awesome! Like the mag safe charger. One thing I want for Christmas is the duel charger so that way I can use the MagSafe single charger as a travel charger.
Do you think the 12 Mini will be too small for you to use daily?
Awesome - great size
Yep lol I’m early
I think it will be perfect for me
ofc the bigger the better but that’s what I can afford after all !!🥲😂😂
Maybe as a second iPhone. I like big screens
You can ssend it to me if you won´t use it ;)
It looks like what I initially imagined the iPhone SE 2nd gen would look like.

Steve jobs is somewhere smiling
I really like the 12 mini and I can’t wait to get mines in the White as well!! Great video as usual.....
Wow! Thanks for the review. This phone looks like it is the one for me. I don't use a phone a lot, so battery life isn't an issue
I only use my for 1-2 hours a day so I relate with that too. I mostly use my laptop for work and only my phone for social media
The iPhone SE looks like a Plus modeled phone when you’re comparing it to the 12 mini 3:43
Nice bro, I'm from Guatemala! Thanks for the good reviews and unboxing! Keep it up!
wow thanks for the iPhone se comparison. i like the pure white tone.

If you liked the 7, you will love the 12 mini in hand! Thanks for the support & good luck picking one up if you decide to!

How the typing experience??? is it as crammed as the iPhone SE 2016? or more like the iPhone 8/SE 2020
More like the SE 2020 but more room
@@BrandonButch Ok thank you! I just want to make sure its not to small 👍
Love the size but im afraid of the battery life , i am waiting for the battery test to decide between the mini and 12.

I love how he compares it with other phones cause I’ve been wanting to see how big it is compared to my 1st Gen SE.
Bro, can we use iphone 12 one handed?
Yeah, he said it once or twice
You can use all with one hand
With reachbility
About to go pickup my max!
nice! What color?
Yo brandon, your 12 Max video is private?!?
I got this same exact phone yesterday!
Do you have an iPhone 12 pro and 12 mini comparison video? im not sure which one of the 2 I want to buy! thanks
Brandon, just to correct u- my iPhone 8 was the smallest phone ever made at 4.7 inches...& I still love it!
your specific iphone happens to be the very smallest of billions of iphones
I said smallest Face ID iPhone. But yes, the 8 was tiny but a great phone
My 12 pro max just came in so I'm about to watch your transfer data video because I'm coming from a iPhone 8
In my opinion & I can only judge what I’ve had in the past, iPhone 8 IS THE BEST PHONE Apple ever made!😎👍
@@keithrowe4317 I loved that phone too death and I’m so mad that it just started freezing constantly on me
@@burfside Go to your local Apple store & ask for a repair- I’m doing the same b/c the battery is not holding the charge....So for 65$ getting complete new battery & I’ll be better off in the long run....
Massive Upgrade
Comparison with IphoneX pls. Thanks a lot!
I really wish they release an Apple battery case for this phone
I still have my 4, although the charger doesn’t work and the battery drains like a tub. I wish they made the mini around that size.
Hi! May I ask if you’re using both a case and a screen protector on the 12 mini? And are you experiencing any touch issues when you’re in the lock screen?
Oh, I wish I could buy this!
I love my 12 pro. But, damn, I should’ve gone for the mini... Coming from a X, that didn’t have functional Face ID and broken back glass, I couldn’t wait to get a new phone, and have Face ID back. I really wanted the better camera/lidar, but I wish they had they made a mini pro.
Do a iPad Air Review
When is the battery drain test coming out
I think the size would be fine for me but I have some real reservations regarding battery life. It’s a really difficult decision. 🤯🤯
Same here. Can't wait to do my battery test video
@@BrandonButch Waiting
every time i see this i fall in love with it but i'm just afraid it will be way to small for me
I want the iPhone 12 mini but I bought the iPhone se 2020 3 months ago
Im waiting like 1 year and then gonna buy the mini one. Currently i have the iPhone X and its still good.
I have iPhone XR, I don't mind the size that much, but I always felt somewhere around 5.5 inches would be ideal. I might have to upgrade to a smaller one.
Are you doing the same for the 12 pro max anytime soon?
Yeah, today
I definitely want to see the mini and I may just go with it over a larger iPhone. Great video.
I just cannot tolerate the notch... That's a deal breaker.. And the reason why I went with the se
hye brandon, i wanna ask. is the size of the bezel on the iphone 12 mini same as iphone 12 / 12 pro?
I mention that in the video. It's smaller
@@BrandonButch I wish the base iPhone 12 had smaller bezels
@@BrandonButch thank you brandon :)
Just a thought, I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max. Would it be dumb to switch to iPhone 12 mini?
I would not say it would be dumb, but I do not know if you would like such a dramatic size difference. The battery life would also be far shorter.
I would say it is kind of dumb, because the iPhone 11 Pro is pretty good. There's really no reason to switch for at least a few years unless the phone breaks, or you just love the new features.
Thanks for the opinions, I think I’m just gonna stick with my 11 till it craps the bed. I like the big battery.
Surprise to know it didn’t get as hot bc i saw other few other youtubers said it did gets heated up so easily. Nonetheless, glad to know! Still debating between the mini or the regular iphone 12.
It’s not even “mini” lol. It’s like the same size as the regular iPhones. 6-8
Then you have to feel it in the hand it’s not the same at all. And those are the 6-8 this is called “mini” because it is tiny with the iPhone 12 line, it’s not supposed to be compared to the older phones
It’s smaller but with a larger screen then the 8.
As I typed my last comment, my 12 Pro Max arrived!!
If you do a review like this for the pro max, I would love to see it compared to the iphone 8!
I love the phone got the regular 12 with 128 GB’s and it’s amazing so far
Классный телефон
I'm so waiting for the battery test hehe
Brandon gold or pacific blue which you prefer??? And hiiiiiiiiiiii big fan 😆
I made a video on that specifically, it’s in the description 🙂

What phone did you have before?
@@sanderhoogeland9161 the 11.

You have the two colours I’m debating about the white looks gorgeous but the black is so classy. 😩

@@Natepullup yeh I know what you are saying I think the white one will be the one I will get thanks for the info. Cheers 🙋🏻♀️

Love your vids !! Keep going 💕
Max looks so big in this even tho its like same sized as 7+ which im using
Same!! It’s really weird
My iPhone XR got higher multi core score then the mini. But my single core is 1118
Big fan bro❤️
iPhone’s box is small because there is nothing in it! Haha
How did the 12 outperformed the mini by this much when they are the exact same phone? Pretty suspicious don’t you think?
Finally early lol and I do think the mini would be to small for me😂
I thought so too until I held it in hand
@@BrandonButch yeah maybe it may not be too small idk but it’s smaller than my X so I’m thinking so since my X is a perfect fit for my hand lol
Same
i made it 1.1k!
It reminds me of the iPhone 5s.
Face ID is a no use feature this year since we always wear mask outside ..
Not a big deal for me as I don’t use my phone in public a lot and even when I do I just punch in the code
I would love to use the iPhone 12 mini but after hearing reports that the iPhones get soft lock if repaired with different parts, I might skip out.
That’s been the case since 2018 with the iPhone XR line up. Making you get repairs from an Apple authorised service provider. I mean if you’re going to get an iPhone at least get it repaired properly.

Just make sure you don’t need to repair it 🤷♂️ Look after it.
Accidents do happen
@@Basstyle1 it was with iOS 13 I believe that they locked it so you had to go and get it serviced from Apple or an authorised service provider. I don’t see what the problem is
