The iPhone 12 Mini does something many of us wanted: It’s a truly small phone without compromises. Making a device that comes in different sizes doesn’t seem like a big deal. And yet it is because it’s an iPhone. I spent a week putting the iPhone 12 Mini through its paces to see if it makes sense, in 2020, to have a phone this small.

Very nice
Apple could have priced this phone at $1500, call it IPhone 12 Steve Jobs Edition.
You just watch the likes of Android manufacturers start making smaller phones next year when the see the sales on the 12 mini
best phone i’ve have ever seen
The best part this marvelous IPhone12 Mini was not designed by J. Ive .…..was tired of tinny iPhones from his time he sacrifice functionality for aesthetics.…
❤❤
😍😍
You are natural for doing reviews..CNET should pay you handsomely sir.
Disappointed it doesn’t include EarPods and wall connector.. Apple is so selfish for this

Patrick, you are just awesome! Love your reviews and originality. A tech poet. What‘s not to love? 🙂 Best for 2021.
I love my mini as well. Pretty awesome and it’s very snappy.
Hi, I have 11 pro now and I like 12 mini, what advice do you give me to go from 11 pro to 12 mini or wait until next year, I also think that the battery is smaller for mini but I don’t know what to do? thanks
Informative video. I was curious about which game you were playing. Just wanted to try it out. Looks interesting to me.

Best review of the mini and I’ve watched a ton
I used a 5s for 4 years, got the XS a few years ago. Had to upgrade to the 12 mini last week. My favorite iPhone to date. The XS seemed to have a little better battery life but not by much. For the size alone I’ll sacrifice a little battery life.
yeah i’ll buy one !!!
I want a pro mini so bad I don’t care what the price would be just take my damn money.
I love my 12 Mini!
I’ll go with the 11 unless this goes as cheap as it. I need the bigger display and battery.
Eff “tiny”. Ok small or compact.
Size is the reason I got my s10. (Samsung)
in my country it’s call chor jeb means thief’s pocket .
I have big hands, so you might think I would go for a big phone. And you’d be in for another think! I absolutely hate the trend toward giant phones! I’m viewing this on my old reliable Nokia Lumia 925, which happens to be about the same size as the iPhone 12 Mini. I love my Windows phone, but since no one is supporting it, I’m going to have to replace it. Physically, the iPhone 12 Mini is the perfect upgrade. Now if I can only decide which color I want!
I always said that if Apple ever came out with a phone that was the size of the 5 but with a full front screen I’d buy it. Well, the mini is a little bigger but they pretty much nailed what I wanted in a phone.
I luv it !
Definitely going for this hun
Using my white mini for a month now and it’s great. I came from an XR, and the weight difference is so worth the upgrade. I’m also loving the camera and OLED display. And yes, fits my pockets, that’s another plus. I use mine with a case, which I remove every time I charge it. Battery to me is fine, well, I don’t compare it with my XR’s. I use a fast charger so that helps a lot. I hope Apple continues to make this product. It has its own niche. Thanks for your review.
5,4″ is small ?
Feel like I’m back to 2013, a phone is a phone, a laptop is a laptop and an iPad is an iPad. Loving the form factor in love with again. Sad that it may be the last mini but we got it.
Eagerly waiting for my 12 mini in black.
@ 8:45 HE CHEATED
Natural reachability, there’s a good point.
My bestie got this not long ago for her first phone, she was.only 11. She got the mint green colour and it’s so beautiful and the camera is outstanding.
I brought the iPhone 12 mini in green and I can honestly say it’s an awesome phone and I love it.
Got the I phone 12 mini in purple I ❤️ it I prefer smaller phones I have had an XR and 7 plus and the performance and battery is great on the 12 mini only 1 charge every 24 hrs and I use my phone a lot and it fits in my pocket hope Apple keep making small phones Thanks for sharing X
I love my iPhone 12 mini. it’s perfect for a second phone. I use a Samsung Galaxy s20 ultra as my daily driver.
1080p playback requires at exactly iPhone 12 mini.
I bought mine from Walmart for 399 with straight talk service included and this little thing is great for battery life and gaming
I just ordered one, super exited=D
The only android form factor equivalent that I ever saw, was the LG q7? I think.
