Steve Jobs: "We've designed something wonderful for your hand" were the words of the late Steve Jobs when he unveiled the first iPhone, and it was. I mean, people have forgotten that before this day in 2007, the standard smartphone display size was 2 inches diagonal and mostly horizontal. Here comes Apple, completely new to the smartphone world, with a massive 3.5-inch display at the time, and does away with all but one physical button.

The formula worked. It changed the entire smartphone industry, and it remained the iPhone's display size until Steve died. He never got to see Apple join competitors in adopting taller displays with the iPhone 5, or make phablets with the 6 Plus, and yet It seems Apple never forgot that principle of "wonderful for your hand." Both iterations of the iPhone SE were all about serving that premise, but I think neither did as good a job as what we get now.

This is the iPhone 12 Mini, proof that Apple does prototyping early cause we've been covering rumors of this phone for years. We seriously thought this was gonna be the iPhone SE2, but what we get is something else entirely. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is our iPhone 12 mini review, sponsored by SUPCASE.

For me mini is perfect. For music and just mobility is super. For media iPad Pro. Perfect combo.

This is by far the best and friendliest rejection of 12 mini. 😂

"Something wonderful in your hand"
Steve Jobs really knew what he was doing

First you buy a super small device and then you put it in such a huge case that's ridiculous

Been using the mini for about a week now and I absolutely love it. Went to the store and tried size of every iPhone and I swear the moment I held the mini, it felt perfect in my hand. I have been using big phones for so long and this was so refreshing. I came from a oneplus 7 pro and seriously now I feel how big phones have become 😅. Anyways I don't mind battery life, yeah it's not amazing but I'm not a heavy user so it lasts a day for me and watching content also is not too bad. It's a great quality amoled display and that's what matters for me.

Most people don't need a big phone, they just think its cool to have a big screen, when at the same time having a tablet anyway.

[youngfame]

Out of topic BUT when he said his name, it literally threw me back to my seat lol

[johnnash]

Its not for people that want to stare at their screen all day and miss out on life : /

Good choice of music for the background. Was very chilling to listen to.

I love it! I had the 12 Pro, and although it’s a fantastic size I’m completely content with the mini, it’s so comfortable and it’s also just easier to carry too

[joaodepaula]

I went to an Apple Store to buy the Iphone 12 and I really didn't like the new grip, it is not at all ergonomic and comfortable like the X and 11.

[brandonminiman]

I love my mini. It seems impossible how small and powerful it is. Also, bonus, it’s very light. It’s effortless!

[christiancarter]

Just got a 12 mini yesterday. Loving it so far.

And yes, 64 is way to low for our days. Bit on the other hand, many people out there are using a cloud platform any way in order to keep this organized and easy to access from other devices as well. And for 50€ (in Europe) you get double. I don’t say it’s cheap, but not the end of the world.

[joeymcguire]

I’m loving the iPhone mini I just bought, I always hated large phones and they get bigger every year.

[darkgladiator]

Phablet! That's a word we don't hear much anymore

[tonynguyen]

I only wish that it had a fingerprint scanner and lower price tag. Everything else is fine.

[aperson]

Depends on what you use your phone for. For me, when the phone is in my pocket, being smaller is a huge advantage. I don't spend all day looking at my phone. In the car on Apple car play, playing music on headphones or a bluetooth speaker smaller size doesn't matter. Sending and receiving text messages, actually using the phone as a phone, the small size is nice to me. I have a laptop, and a desktop, and a TV if I want a bigger screen.

Perfect review.. my wife loves hers because she doesn’t suck up a lot of content.. I wanted one but changed my mind because I do and I thought over time I would get annoyed by the size.
