Did you pick an iPhone 12 mini, 12 or something else? Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day!

I got the 12 mini, and I’m just so happy with it. Relearning how to type on a smaller screen but after 3 years on a 7 plus I’m really appreciating the smaller form factor. My hands have cramped up so bad after wrangling that old slab of mine and the mini has just made everything better. I don’t even feel a need to use a case or pop socket for this thing! (Hill I will die on: pop sockets are a solution to a problem we never should have had to begin with. A band-aid on human folly)

[Johnnyiswhere]

I picked the 12. I'm 54, blind as a bat, and appreciate the larger screen.

The feel of the mini is nice...like a little rocket in your pocket

Went with the mini, so happy with its size overall!

If they make an iPhone 12 Pro Mini, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Edit: I keep getting comments saying “the difference is just the camera”. Facts: on top of the steel frame and zoom lens, the 12 Pro has 6GB RAM, LIDAR sensor, night mode portrait, ProRAW format, 60 FPS HDR, and starts at 128 GB storage.

When you buy unlocked the 128 GB iPhone 12 is $879, so the price difference is $120. The zoom lens and the extra RAM alone is worth $120.

A 12 Mini with pro features should be about the same price as the 12. I would definitely buy it.

Decided to go from 7 to 12 pro after seeing it in person at the store. The screen is a nice size and seems to be a worthwhile upgrade with 4 years of technology improvements (face id, larger screen, wireless charging, lidar, faster charging, more durable glass, ip68 rating, triple camera, night shots, portrait modes, a14 bionic, improved video, etc.). Next upgrade in 4-6 years.

Definitely gonna get the Mini. Love the size. Finally a compact flagship.

[tinklebella]

here’s my perspective:

i’ve held and used both iphone 12 and iphone 12 mini and honestly getting any of these is fine. the iphone 12 is just the perfect size for me - not too big and not too small. but it is big, i enjoy watching movies and playing games using this phone. as for the iphone 12 mini, it is very lightweight, cute and compact. although the small size, it doesn’t affect my typing or navigating through the screen as MY hands are quite small (i’m a girl)

that’s all i have the say in as i recently only used them

[mhsable]

The iPhone 4/4s was my favorite design over all especially because of the size, I’ve been hoping for something similar but with new advanced specs and here it it 😍

[cliffordsam]

I currently have the 12 mini, love it so much. But after owning for a while I'm upsizing to the 12 for my large hands since they both have the same excellent features. Btw, your detailed comparison helped my decision greatly.

[jakedunlap]

I bought an iPhone 12 when pre-orders took. I went with the product red color option. I really like it.

[groeswenphil]

I've recently changed from an 8+ to the iPhone Mini. Delighted with my decision. There is something really special about the size and form factor. To sixties, large hands....it feels just perfect. There is something rather special about the size that I really love.

[JunkHeapProductions]

I upgraded to the 12 mini from the OG iPhone SE.
I went to the Apple Store nearest to me to see them both in person and get a feel for the different sizes.
Once I held the mini and picked up the regular 12 after I knew which one I preferred.
The mini feels like my SE but on steroids with the latest hardware. I got the 12 mini 128 GB in Blue and am absolutely loving it so far!

[tharealist]

Got iPhone 12 Blue 128 GB last week. Experience so far is awesome. This is my first Apple device. :) Thanks for all your videos and support.

[Offsides]

Aaron just does a great job with his videos. Always informative.

[deepcoolclear]

Great comparison video. Picked up the mini, very happy haven’t looked back. Battery life is good if you’re not doing tons of video or games, and feels great. Glad Apple made a smaller phone without compromising features.

[colinpete]

One the best compact flagships out in the market. I picked up my 12 mini from Wal-Mart as a refurbished piece from the OG iPhone SE 2020. Few nicks here and there but absolutely love the form factor. Nails it in that department.

[Vesran]

i've had my iphone 12 in black with 64GB since October 30th and i feel like it's the perfect size for me
