Apple iPhone 12 Mini 64GB - White MGDY3X/A review

The smol phone to beat.
Pros:
  • It’s a baby iPhone. It’s fun to carry around. It’s easy to forget about. And unlike the small-ish iPhone SE, the iPhone 12 Mini has Apple’s newest chip, display, and camera system. Also: wireless charging.
Cons:
  • Battery life is not as good as on a big phone. Speakers aren’t great either. Smaller screen is less optimal for extended video watching … but maybe that’s a good thing.

Apple iPhone 12 Mini 64GB - White MGDY3X/A review

People who want a smaller phone will be hard-pressed to find a device as compelling as the iPhone 12 mini. That's because Apple took nearly everything that worked well in the larger iPhone 12 including its high-powered A14 Bionic chipset and excellent cameras and packed them into a pint-sized frame.
Pros:
  • Small design makes it easy to handle
  • Excellent performance
  • Beautiful screen
Cons:
  • Lackluster battery life
  • Slower MagSafe charging

Apple iPhone 12 Mini 64GB - White MGDY3X/A review

If you asked me which of the four different models of the new iPhone 12 you should buy without providing any further context on your needs or desires, I would tell you to buy the regular iPhone 12 without question. It has the best balance of screen size, storage, cameras, battery life, and value.
Pros:
  • Excellent camera
  • Small with great build quality
  • Fast
Cons:
  • Battery life is below average
  • Is mmWave 5G really necessary?
  • 60Hz screen is behind the competition

Cons:
  • Battery life not amazing
  • No telephoto lens

iPhone 12 mini Review

If you’re looking for an iPhone 12 and think picking up the mini version will save you £100/$100, then I think you’re looking at it wrong. You shouldn’t buy this iPhone because it’s cheaper, you should buy it if you’ve been hankering for a smaller phone and are happy with the sacrifices that come with it. For most people, I still think the regular iPhone 12 is the best buy.
Pros:
  • Great to see phones this size make a return
  • No feature sacrifices for the smaller display
  • Great camera with excellent video
  • Lovely new design
Cons:
  • Battery life is notably worse than other iPhone 12 models
  • Notch seems more irritating on the smaller screen
  • You'll want to buy a charger separately
