Did you pick an iPhone 12 mini, 12 or something else? Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day!
iPhone 12 mini because i prefer compact Phones :)
Mini
I’ve got a Blue iPhone 12 - Wanted a bigger and better display than my 8 and it was worth it
iPhone 12 pro max. And I am loving it.
I upgraded from a iPhone X to the iPhone 12 mini coz I love small phones and been waiting for apple to make one after the original iPhone se
I picked the 12. I'm 54, blind as a bat, and appreciate the larger screen.
There’s a setting where you can make apps and fonts bigger too
display zoom is great i love it!
plus the iphone mini has slightly denser pixels per inch meaning sharper image
@@andreagreen1133 Good chice sir Hope u enjoy it 😁
@@brogamingbgh6412 choice*
The feel of the mini is nice...like a little rocket in your pocket
rocket in my pocket.. lol
Corny
Bars
That’s what my girlfriend said. lol
Not the only rocket in the pocket
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)
What about the battery?
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 😍
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.
They have it’s called the iPhone 12🤣🤣🤣
Apple have basically offered you something then given you an option of 2 extremes of the spectrum, an extra large and a small. You want the one in between. That’s the first thing they offered in the first place. 🤣🤣🤣
I love people like you. They’re fun as fuck to clown.
On some emperor's new clothes shit🤦♂️
@@Loophole23742 You don’t understand technology specs apparently. Iphone 12 lacks a lot of features of the Pro model. If I’m ok with not having Pro features, I would have bought the Mini already.
What if the make an iPhone 12 pro mini S plus max?
@@joessj5 😂😂😂
@@SteelHex it’s literally the same phone 😂
12 pro is just a 12 with a telephoto camera and stainless steel frame

I bought an iPhone 12 when pre-orders took. I went with the product red color option. I really like it.
Definitely gonna get the Mini. Love the size. Finally a compact flagship.
Thank you for perfect, simple but comprehensive review and comparison. Others do blah blah around, you said only thing that matter. All I needed so far, in 10 min vs. 5 other videos. Keep doing that please 👌
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.
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.
This is exactly why I am here. My Phone Company has deals for me. My 7 is in need of upgrade. The 13 is too expensive.
hows it been lol, I actually have the iphone 7 right now but it's playing up so im thinking of buying tthe 12 mini.
Been waiting for a good comparison of these two. 👍
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.
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
Thnx for the insight 🙃I have teeny tiny hand's too so it'll help in my decision making
What about the battery?
so people that watch movies on their phones actually exist then, how does that work? do you hold your phone for the entire duration or do you post it up in a way? lol
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.
Thanks for the review. It was really helpful!
Thank you so much! I was so stuck on which iPhone to get and now it’s so much easier to understand the difference!
For me this was kinda a tough choice but I chose the mini. I did like the 12 better due to that 1 hour higher battery life, it’s not much of a difference but can help out in some situations. I ended up with the mini though because my hands are small and I don’t need anything big
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 me.....late sixties, large hands....it feels just perfect. There is something rather special about the size that I really love.
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.
Many thanks for the informative and excellent reviews. I have recently moved from an IPhone SE (2gen) to a iPhone 12 - regular size in blue with 256G. Perfect phone -for this next year anyway.
My blue 12 Mini was delivered Friday morning. Since i use a MacBook or an iPad for most web browsing this smaller phone makes a lot of sense to me.
Some day, after my current iPhone X breaks or the battery gets old again, I’m definitely going to get myself the 12 Mini!
I love smaller phones and this one has just the perfect size for my hands 🙌🏼
hey man, thanks for doing this! I really appreciate it!
Just got the iPhone mini in blue with this amazing blue framed case with a clear back from Amazon. It is the perfect size iPhone!
I went with the 12 mini but with hindsight I wish I had gone for the 12 for one simple reason. I miss having a real dual sim phone and with the 12 I can change out the sim reader for a dual one (same as fitted to the Hong Kong and Chinese version) very easily. However the sim reader on the 12 mini is soldered to the motherboard which makes it a very different story to change :(
Aaron thanks for the valuable information, I have an pixel 4a and iPhone 12 mini in stealthy black, the black one gives a vintage look like iPhone 5 slate black sides, Amazing👌
I don’t regret getting the 12 since i went from XR to 12 it is smaller feeling but same screen size. Battery is better for me since I don’t got 5g really where I live.
i've had my iphone 12 in black with 64GB since October 30th and i feel like it's the perfect size for me
Better take the 128GB I think
@@iam6230 I got the 256, planning on keeping for a long time lmao
This dude can talk..well done sir
3:08 Your UA-cam and Tesla apps being swapped messed with my newly acquired OCD. 😂
Lol.

Simple answer : easier to start the app when it’s in a corner or on the side when you use your phone right handed. I guess that it’s one of his most used app on that screen :) Also I may add that his most used apps are in the bottom of the screen and in the last row of each page. Again easier to start a app on the lower side of the screen when the phone is used with only one hand. Am I right Aaron ?
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!
Are you happy with it for photo/video needs? That, and reading, are the only two reasons i’m waffling between 12 mini and 12. Have the mini but didn’t get to put a 12 in my hands.
@@emmettgallagher6090 I find it fine. Maybe because I was already used to the tiny screen on the SE 1 that I don’t find reading on the mini to be too difficult. I am 30 with relatively decent vision however. The camera modules are the same between the 12 and 12 mini and the few times I’ve had the chance to use it for photo/video so far look great.
@@JunkHeapProductions Cool, glad to hear.
Same thing happened with me. I went to the Apple Store with the intention of buying an iPhone 13, and as soon as I held the 13 mini, the difference in comfort was astounding, I went with the mini and am glad I did.
I have a white mini. Even with big hands it just feels right.
Yea I have a 7(which is same size as mini) and I have pretty big hands (enough to grip a basketball). I’m just so used to that small phone, feels comfortable. Compared to the 7 it’s a big upgrade 😅
Do you feel like the battery drains a lot?
@@kaylathompson1070 on most days I get like 5-6 hours of screen time over a 24 hour period. Drain while in standby is pretty decent like every other iPhone and unless I’m using it heavily I charge it every other day.
Im getting the 12 or 12 mini which one im in 6th grade and I dont have big hands
The only difference (except the size) is they read different weather temperatures. 😂
Lmaooo
Lmao lol
I noticed that too😂
Went with the 12, needed bigger screen for ebooks, although hate to give up the hand grip of the mini.
Much appreciate you brother...... great tech reviews 👍
thanks for the great review and wallpaper.
I really like Mini because of its compact size, best PPI, and it will save me 100 dollars too. Blue and Green colours are awesome.
Glad to hear that the mini has 5 hours battery life, that was the only reason I was worried when I bought it yesterday. Thank you as always Aron!
I haven't charged my iPhone 12 mini in 28 hours .. yes it's been on for 28 hours and not just in standby .. the battery is more optimized than Android .. 51% now ..
I feel like the notch blends in a lot better on the mini than on the larger iPhones. There isn’t much screen around the notch, only enough to display the battery, signal strength, and time, with no space left. Therefore, the notch somewhat looks like it “belongs”, whereas the other iPhones, it just doesn’t look right.
Mini in Blue for me.Thanks for covering the differentials, it helped me make a more confident & informed choice.
Regards, Zeb. 👍🏽
So comprehensive and unbiased. Thank you
I got my new iPhone mini few days ago. I used to own iPhone XR which is big but at least now with mini it wud fit perfect on my hand and less chance of dropping.
I love Zolo 👏🏼✊ Greatings from KZ 🇰🇿

I chose the 12 black but i love small phones I’m thinking I might exchange
I never went for the Plus/Max variant...
I have used iPhone 5s, 6, 6s, 7, 8, now I was going for SE 2 which was an iPhone 8 (2020) for me, a better 8, a Classy... but when I saw iPhone 12 mini, I saw Perfection, a way more better, updated & faster version of iPhone 8, with a little smaller size and larger display, which feels like I'm holding just the display of 8 & got rid off the bezzels... no more words,,, Its just Love...
Thank you so much, for this type of video

I had (and still have) an iPhone 6s Plus for like 2 years now, and finally I’m so glad they came out with a really cool looking smaller phone. I could never fit my phone into my pockets and it got really annoying.
The 12 mini?
Very precise and professional. You have a great voice. It was nice for a change. I'm preparing to buy the iPhone 12 now. Of course, I choose the black one. All my digital phones have always been black....Thanks again. You did a great job and helped me make my final decision.
I went with the Mini and I’m holding on to my SE 2020 & my SE 2016... all backup phones... the best phone I’ve ever owned is the I Phone SE 1st Gen... that phone lasted 4 years on the same battery and I just the battery replaced in early March and it’s running 13.7 flawlessly. I’m going to leave it on 13.7 and just keep updating the SE 2020 & the 12 Mini...Now if we can get an OS that ran like iOS 6 did we’d all be in excellent shape!
I have the blue iphone 12 , LOVE IT . I had the XR before this. The display is just so crisp
is it about the same size as the xr?? i love my xr so much but i need an upgrade!
Same I had the 6s and this year I switched to iPhone 12 blue it’s so beautiful no question about it
@@kailey4602 the screen is the same. The body is smaller n lighter. Its leaps better than the XR
Gina mua INDIA I have a blue one as well

Very informative video, thank you for helping me to decide which to get!
Hello Aaron , thanks for another great video
Love the 12 mini!
Always my favorite youtuber hehehe!
I'm waiting for black Friday, been debating on what iPhone to get for a couple of months and your videos have really helped. It's been between the iPhone 12 mini and the SE 2020 up until now but the iPhone 12 price just dropped lower than 12 mini on Tesco mobile so I thought I'd check it out, glad I did because I'm loving the extra hour of battery in the 12 and the size is more what I'm used to now. I think with my fat fingers I'd make a right mess out of texting on the 12 mini 🤔😂
I picked iphone mini 128 in green. And I‘m really satisfied. Thank you for the great video.
The mini is far too small for me. I loved my first generation iPhone SE, until I bumped it up to the 10 XS which is a nice phone. Then comes iOS14 and iphone 12... very nice usability wrapped up in that flattened edge style, a 6.1 inch display - yet the overall size is barely bigger then my 10 was, lighter weight, not to mention the videography/cameras, plus a list of cool functions/extras... there's no comparison for me at this time. After using my 12 for about a month I just was able to test out an iPhone mini in person. Fun, but again the screen is too small for me now... the print too small for my older eyes I guess:). I also found that I still had to juggle the phone a bit to really reach the entire screen. Enjoy whatever you end up getting... iPhone makes a great product.
as much as i love small phones, i really need bigger battery so i’ll choose the 12.
Same. I got the SE in April and its battery is trash lmao. I was tempted to upgrade to the mini but didn’t want to make another mistake so I opted for the 12
@@jordanhamzee4198 good for you. i have to stay with the SE for another four years or so. it’s ok i guess
@@jordanhamzee4198 was it a huge size difference in your hands? I’m used to smaller phones since I have small hands but I need a better battery life for sure.
I mean the 12 only lasts about an hour more that’s it

I agree with both, both are perfect for my hands. I also like the kind of tech they have, very impressive!!!

Could we get a comparison of the SE 2020 and iPhone Mini?

Great video !! I have the same green I phone 12 mini instead of the I phone 12. This video was very helpful. Many thanks.
Great video zollotech always Top notch videos
Already ordered the 12 Mini. Should be arriving tomorrow. Can’t wait to use it!
Did you get your phone how is it
@@gangireddy6129 Yeah, I got it. Gotta admit, the faster battery drain certainly got me by surprise, but I have yet to really stress test it and see just how late into the day I can get with it. Yesterday, I lost my nerve and recharged it well before it got critically low. I was off work today and, having hardly used it, it still sits at 56% as I type this at almost midnight.
Battery gauging notwithstanding, this phone is every bit as awesome as I hoped and then some. It's the first phone I'm actually willing to rock naked...though I did immediately get a tempered glass screen protector put on it.

I thought the mini was supposed to be small until I went to the store and was surprised to find it was reasonably sized and in no way ‘mini’.
Hi Aaron, thanks for granting my request..video was very good..please do a battery drain test between all iPhone 12 models...
White mini for me it is! I love black but the back’s gonna be a fingerprint magnet.
I picked up a 12 Pro 128GB silver. It is my first iPhone ever. Tough decision as I was liking the Mini and 12 a lot.
Nice choice! 12 pro is better for 1st iphone user
The 12 and 12 pro are the same size
The mini isn’t much smaller
I actually bought the mini and then changed during shipping just because of the battery life
It doesn’t look as massive as they normally do
I've had my iPhone 12 mini for 6 months and I'm a heavy user. You can get 8 hours of heavy game play and streaming from a full charge until 1%. You can easily make it through the day, say starting at 7 and by 9 putting it on the charge, if needed - and if you're not a heavy user.
very informative! Decided with 12 mini!
Are we going back to small phones? My 12 regular seems smaller than my 6s.
Nice camera work
Damn!
This helped me a lot to pick which one I should buy thank you
I am a heavy user abs do a lot of one hand usage. I currently have the iPhone 11 and hate the size and weight. I’m going to the iPhone 11 mini for easier use and adding a thin extended battery cover to double batt time. The weight will still be lighter than the 11 and the one hand will actually be easier bc of the shape. Excited.
Thank you so much for this video. Guess I already made a right choice by choosing the 12 mini😁
When I got my 12 it seemed small compared to my 6s plus. But I’m getting used to it.
Can i ask how’s the screen so far? Bc im upgrading from the 6s plus to the 12 too
I had the same feeling with my iphone 8 plus lol
Thank you for this video!!!!!
Ordered a 12 mini, blue, 128 storage to replace my aging SE 1st gen. Scheduled to be delivered 1/6/21, can’t wait.
I have the mini and love it as I have small hands! Really impressed with it, great battery life and super fast, I’m not using 5g sim as it’s not great coverage in the UK
IPhone 12 mini 100%
I'm really glad that they have the MINI versions because I have a small hand here and is really is to hold or put on small purse and pockets.
Finally getting it.
I love samll hands
I picked up 12 mini blue 128 gigs battery for me is right around 8.5 hours with 10 percent left but I’m a heavy phone user it’s great so far
Great overview - thank you! Think I'm going to go with the mini. Color? Maybe the blue this time.
To be honest, If I had to pick one, I'd choose the 12 mini because of its unique small size, I mean, there's no other phone that is that small and powerful at the same time. So I'll try to save some money this year to buy it.
Thank u. Very professional
You have made exacte video that I was looking for .
Im so excited for my mini thats in the mail ive never wanted to break a item more then my 6s
I bought an iPhone 12 Blue color about a week ago, it’s a good size but just yesterday I bought a iPhone 12 mini green color and I absolutely love it.
I got the 12 mini in green and feels tiny compared to my old iPhone 8plus but do you think i should exchange it to the 12?
Great comparison…practical too. It is the 12 for my needs and preferences. Thanks for your help. Blue will be the colour.
