It crams all the proper iPhone 12 features into a compact phone with a smaller 5.4\u201d display. Despite being the baby of the iPhone 12 range, it\u2019s always been a cracking choice.<\/p>\n<p>Since the iPhone 13 launch, Apple is selling the iPhone 12 mini at reduced prices. So now you can buy an iPhone 13 mini, does a new or reconditioned iPhone 12 mini still make sense?

Most of the main specifications are identical, with the key iPhone 12 mini differences being a smaller 5.4\u201d screen and a smaller battery. That means you still get 5G, waterproofing, and Apple\u2019s trademark design and build quality. You also still get the A14 Bionic processor, which can beat pretty much anything this side of the iPhone 13.<\/p>\n<p>The phone\u2019s smaller screen means there\u2019s less room for movies and games, but it\u2019s still plenty big enough for everyday use. The smaller size is immensely practical, too: it\u2019s easier to fit in bags and pockets, and easier to hold and type on it with one hand.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great looking, practical iPhone, but it\u2019s no longer the latest thing. The iPhone 13 mini has a faster processor, better battery life and subtly improved camera. So should you still buy the older phone? And if so, does it make sense to get it new, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/12-mini\">buy a reconditioned iPhone 12 mini<\/a>?

Its smaller screen means that it\u2019s about 1.5cm shorter, and 7mm narrower than the standard phone. At 133 grams it\u2019s quite a bit lighter, too - the standard iPhone 12 weighs 162g. Interestingly, the iPhone 13 mini is slightly deeper, and has put on 7g in weight, so the iPhone 12 mini remains the smallest and lightest iPhone since the first-generation iPhone SE.<\/p>\n<p>At the front, the screen extends almost to the edges of the phone, where it\u2019s protected by a narrow metal edge. The front panel gets Apple\u2019s super-tough Ceramic Shield glass. Testers have shown this to be significantly stronger than standard smartphone glass - but also that the rear panel\u2019s conventional toughened glass is more likely to break in a drop. The iPhone 12 mini comes in six colours: white, black, purple, blue, red and green.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this is a classy phone. While its screen may be too small for those who watch a lot of content on the move, its dimensions are just right for those who fancy something svelte and unobtrusive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619771744\/kpkqsqsezaichxoadhcn.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Front\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619770969\/tmxyo0k90g7xkhmmuq2k.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Side\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619770969\/nvuuowgaejyf6tlgzvzn.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Back\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"display\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 mini <\/strong><strong>- display<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1635460774\/IMG_0001_1_idgjif.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Display\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The iPhone 12 mini\u2019s smaller display might not be enough for dedicated gamers and binge-watchers, but it\u2019s not exactly tiny. Apple\u2019s bezel-free design ensures it runs almost up to the edge of the phone, and at 5.4\u201d it\u2019s bigger than standard-sized screens from just a generation or two earlier. Unavoidably, the resolution is lower than a standard iPhone 12, but with 2,340x1,080 pixels crammed into this size screen, the 476ppi pixel depth is actually highest of all iPhone 12s.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, this means the iPhone 12 mini\u2019s display is on the small side for entertainment, but extremely crisp and detailed. There\u2019s plenty of room for day-to-day use, and the overall display quality is as good as - or arguably better than - the rest of the range.<\/p>\n<p>While other iPhones face competition from high-end Android devices, the iPhone 12 mini is something of a loner. Only a handful of Android phones now have a screen under 6\u201d, and those that do invariably have wider bezels. That makes the iPhone 12 mini about the smallest non-folding smartphone you can find. It\u2019s more than a centimetre shorter than the Google Pixel 4a, which often features in \u2018best small Android phones\u2019 lists.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 12 mini display has a 60Hz refresh rate. Like other iPhones it suffers from an intrusive notch for the front-facing TrueDepth camera, which takes a bite out of full-screen video. Other than that, it\u2019s hard to fault.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"camera\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 mini<\/strong><strong>- camera and video performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_11 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The iPhone 12 mini has exactly the same camera setup as the standard iPhone 12. On the back, it\u2019s a dual 12-megapixel (MP) system equipped with wide and ultra-wide lenses. While it\u2019s some way from the highest resolution you can find on a phone, a decent sensor size together with a \u0192\/1.6 aperture wide lens helps ensure good low-light performance. The system offers only 2x optical zoom, but it\u2019s enhanced with a 5x digital zoom, and everything is kept steady with optical image stabilisation.<\/p>\n<p>At the front, a third 12MP camera takes on selfie and Facetime duty. With a more narrow \u0192\/2.2 aperture it doesn\u2019t perform quite as well in low light. It\u2019s also limited to 120 frames per second (fps) slo-mo: the rear camera can shoot in 240fps.<\/p>\n<p>Other than these differences, both front and rear systems share impressive specifications. Both can shoot 4k video, or 1080p HD video, at up to 60fps. Both can shoot HDR with Dolby Vision up to 4k and 30fps. Both offer a Night Mode - and on the rear camera in particular it\u2019s very impressive. The iPhone 12 mini can resolve a decent picture in a small room lit only by another phone\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 12 mini\u2019s solid camera hardware is enhanced by advanced image processing, helping it deliver strong photos across the board. While rivals have it beaten on resolution - and the very best Android competitors beat it outright - it can hold its own against most phones. Images are sharp, with the phone generally coping well with extremes of light and darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Like other iPhones, you can point the iPhone 12 mini at almost any subject in any conditions, and get a decent shot. While the iPhone 13 mini does have a better camera, it\u2019s not a massive step forward in most situations. That said, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have both received a major camera upgrade over this phone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_4 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_12 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"performance\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 mini <\/strong><strong>- performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_13 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_21 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_21 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Geekbench 5 results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">CPU single-core scores:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_0 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_0 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro -

While Apple has moved things on with the A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13, its competitors still haven\u2019t caught up with the older chip. In other words, the iPhone 12 mini is faster than anything but an iPhone 13.<\/p>\n<p>In everyday use you simply won\u2019t think about it. This phone will breeze through any app or interaction without noticeable lag or delay. In the Geekbench 5 benchmark we recorded a single-core score of 1,589, and compute score of 9,397. To put that in context, the Pixel 4a never feels particularly sluggish, yet its single-core score was 522 and its compute score just 1,055.<\/p>\n<p>In games and other intensive 3D work, you\u2019ll benefit from extremely high frame rates. The iPhone 12 mini managed an awesome 2,190 in the challenging 3DMark Wildlife extreme benchmark. The Pixel 4a scored 299 in the same test, and even Samsung\u2019s Exynos 2100-powered S21 5G can\u2019t break through 1,800.<\/p>\n<p>The downside is heat: the iPhone 12 mini heats up quickly when working hard, and with prolonged intensive use it has to slow itself down. By the end of 20 minutes\u2019 testing, its Wildlife extreme score had fallen by fully 37%, to 1,383. While this is a common outcome for fast phones, the iPhone 12 mini is slightly worse than the rest of the iPhone 12 range - presumably because it has a comparatively small surface through which to get rid of the heat. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"battery\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_26 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 mini <\/strong><strong>- battery performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_27 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>If there\u2019s a catch to the iPhone 12 mini, it\u2019s that the smaller body leaves less room for a heavy duty battery. While the shrunken screen guzzles less power than the 6.1\u201d and 6.7\u201d devices higher up the range, the iPhone 12 mini still has the shortest-lived battery.<\/p>\n<p>Apple says that the iPhone 12 mini will play video for 15 hours, compared to 17 hours from the standard iPhone 12. In our test, it looped an HD video for a little over 12 hours, a slightly disappointing result. In reality the phone will manage a day\u2019s mixed use, typically getting to bedtime with around a third of its charge remaining. Throw in some heavier use - and particularly gaming - and you might need to grab a top up.<\/p>\n<p>Like other iPhone 12s, the mini will charge from empty to 50% in less than 30 minutes if you have a 20w charger. It also supports Qi and MagSafe wireless chargers - we had no problems getting it to charge up in a car.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_28 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Battery life<\/strong><strong> (movie playback)<\/strong>*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_4 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_12 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 19hr 2mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_13 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 - Time = 18hrs 46mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"98.68%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"98.68%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_14 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 12 Mini - Time = 12hrs 7mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"63.16%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"63.16%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_29 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Charge Time (0-80%)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_5 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_15 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_16 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 - Time = 55mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"96.36%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"96.36%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_17 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 12 Mini - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_30 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">*Battery life test involves looping the playback of an HD movie from fully charged until the phone shuts down.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_6 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"options\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_31 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 mini <\/strong><strong>- options and additional features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_27 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_32 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">You can have an iPhone 12 mini in one of six colours. There\u2019s the typical black, white and red, together with a dark blue, and pastelly green and purples. With a huge range of third-party cases, along with Apple licensed MagSafe ones, it\u2019s easy to add matching or contrasting accessories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">At \u00a3579, the entry-level iPhone 12 mini might be the cheapest iPhone 12 you can buy, but it comes with a stingy 64GB of storage. Further up the range Apple will charge you \u00a3629 for the 128GB model or \u00a3729 for 256GB - but you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/12-mini\">buy a new or refurbished iPhone 12 mini for less<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">New iPhones come with only a USB-C to Lightning cable, which depending on your point of view is either cynical cost cutting, or a commendable effort to cut electrical waste. It\u2019s worth knowing that iPhones don\u2019t have a 3.5mm audio port - you\u2019ll need wireless headphones, or a pair with a Lightning connector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_18 et_pb_row et_pb_row_6col et_block_row et_block_row_6col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_28 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_33 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998096\/peupclmotlg02xth29yb.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Black\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_29 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_34 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998060\/pgv9qphspucwshfdfjvs.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Blue\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_30 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_35 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998133\/vps2obuxhovwzicpiqte.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Green\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_31 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_36 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619770969\/nvuuowgaejyf6tlgzvzn.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Purple\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_32 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_37 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998172\/mlsk5en1f52spz40niik.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini Red\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_38 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998023\/ishjxaodmaoiantuwfog.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini White\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_7 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_19 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"quality\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_39 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone 12 mini - build quality and things to look out for<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_20 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_35 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_40 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">The iPhone 12 mini ought to shrug off most bumps and spills without issue. However, like any phone its battery will age over time, leaving it able to store a bit less electricity. You can view the remaining capacity from the Settings app: choose Battery and select Battery Health. By default, iOS enables Optimised Battery Charging - we\u2019d leave it switched on if you want to keep your battery healthy for longer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Some iPhone 12 users have complained that 5G use can burn through the phone\u2019s battery, leaving you needing a booster charge during the day. If you find this, you can turn 5G off from Settings>Mobile>Mobile Data Options>Voice & Data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Although this is a strong phone, it can pick up scratches, and the rear glass in particular can be cracked or scratched. We usually recommend a case, while a glass protector will prevent scratches if you throw your phone in a pocket alongside something sharp like your keys.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_8 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_21 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"verdict\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_36 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_41 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone 12 mini - verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_22 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_37 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_42 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">This may be the smallest iPhone 12, but in some ways it\u2019s the best. An unusually compact phone, the iPhone 12 mini is almost the only choice for anyone who values portability over a big screen. While its battery won\u2019t go as long as the other iPhone 12 models, it\u2019s arguably more practical. Best of all, it does everything without sacrificing any of the features or performance of the iPhone 12.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">The iPhone 12 mini\u2019s only real competition comes from the iPhone 13 mini. The newer phone is faster, with more storage, an improved battery life and a slightly better camera. At Apple\u2019s prices, you\u2019d be a fool to buy a new iPhone 12 mini when, comparing 128GB and 256GB models, the iPhone 13 mini costs only \u00a350 more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">But shop around and you can get a much bigger saving when you buy a new or refurbished iPhone 12 mini. For the right price, it\u2019s still a brilliant, genuinely small phone for anyone who\u2019s not too bothered about games or films on the move.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone 12 mini has always crammed grown up iPhone features into a genuinely smaller phone.
