My heart beat speed up 🥺
The metal scratching so easily is such a shame! I accidentally dropped mine whilst sitting and now it has a tiny nick on the steel side which just bugs me 🙁
Anyone else cringe watching this
At least already droped my mini from 2 meter in face. Still got any cracked. But yeah the aluminium frame really soft. It will dent evem drop under 1 meter. The front glass really strong you don’t even need glass protector.
I’m wondering if just a case is good enough for the 12 mini, or if you need a screen protector as well.
Who else is watching this on a 12 mini
i am just getting a very good screen protector for my iphone 12 mini
Wow amazing 🤩 just got mine
U are using same phones fro wvey test if phone experience firat accident then offcourse its durability decreases just bcoz of doing continuesly on same phone will bot give actual
Most durable phone I ever had dropped it so many times with no craccs jus dents in the frame cool phone
well iphone 12 onwards is a winner!!!
👍🏻
iphone ppl watching this hurts 4 them to watch
I have the protruding back cover for my iphone 12 mini on both side for the lens part and for the screen too,.even with the tempered glass on, at least 0.4mm is still there with the TG on…
So it did land face down while travelling in the Metro 🚇 on the concrete floor/marble and because of the case the aluminium frame scuffing did not happen and screen is safe too…
Amen to that 🙏🏻
well not really not toughest glass is weak and you can hit it on next to window really hard
Whoever said by accident comment that was great. But seriously I used liquid protection on both sides of phone it is in near mint condition (as of 09/2023) idk if the liquid protection really helped but I have two small children & am a klutz myself & it’s really lasted. Now as for storage 64GB is nothing in this day & also they will stop iOS updates guessing around 2025; the storage is bigger issue cuz I need to legit uninstall & offload almost everything to get even basic beta updates. As for battery life again few years in it’s not great. My biggest issue is it has physically caused harm to myself & children leaving us with blisters or marks on furniture when it’s overheating. Otherwise I love being able to go cashless idk makes me feel good when someone sees it caseless like how does she do that but really it isn’t me. Obviously don’t buy in 2023 lol it’s a hassle but if going case free it really is one of the better ones to suffer physical damage but otherwise has become almost impractical lol. Also it was a gift so I’m a bit protective over the phone itself anyways
Take these results with a grain of salt. Mine fell from my pocket on to slippery pavement once — shattered the rear glass.
As an iPhone 12 Mini owner, this hurts to watch.
Had my 12 mini for well over 2 years, haven’t cracked anything minus a screen protector
