The Mini is a fantastic device, people are the problem. As soon as you put "Mini" in the title, people weirdly and wrongly assume its a spec down from the regular iPhone 12 and 13. I think they should do a Pro Mini varient but rebrand it as the iPhone Pro 5.2" and then have an iPhone Pro 6" or something as the regular iPhone Pro. *Measurements not to size because i cba to find out what they are, but you get my point An iPhone Pro Mini phone would be the holy grail for me
How come no one ever talks about the capability as a PHONE? Voice / mic / speaker quality and volume levels. How good is the radio? Sensitivity? Can you operate in weaker signals with one or the other? You know - the important stuff.
well its because nowadays they have nailed the basic aspects of being a phone (especially apple) so its not really relevant to review and thats not even the focus of this video. if youre so interested in that, why not use your brain a little and specifically search for a video aimed at that. my man simple alpaca makes content for the pros who already know ab simple stuff like that, not for dummies 🤷♂️
Yeah, good question. For about a week ago I compared signal strength between a 25-year-old Motorola cd930 and an iPhone 8. 25 years old Motorola has about 2 times more powerful signal strength
With the comparable size between the two phones, will the screen protectors and any cases be able to be used between the two or are they different sizes? Thanks
They are so cheap on e bay now... I got a really nice 12 mini the other day and it was $230! Works perfectly, looks like the seller did a " hardness test" for the screen cause it's 1 tiny but noticeable scratch on the screen. I got lucky but it's averaging at 260$
The 12 mini is the best phone I have ever had. I dropped this thing so many times. Dropped it in ocean dropped it roller blading. Dropped it in water. Left it in a hot car. This thing is a brick. I’ll continue to use till I can’t anymore.
I used 5s for years, it broke and then switch to SE 1 until last october switch to 12mini. It's worth the upgrade. Camera is miles better and most importantly the Findmy app tells you exactly where the location of your devices are.
I’m keeping my 12 mini until they come back out with the mini series again …. You know they are
Good thinking.
Ajá
Heard there’s not gonna be a 14 mini
@@nikesbeast must be living under a rock
I doubt they’re re visit the mini. It had poor sales.
Why can’t they continue with Minis? I love the mini size
only sold around 5% of iphone sales
5’4 is big 😓 above average actually
Yeah it be nice if a 16 mini were to come out. But I doubt it. Imagine a mini pro.
i bet you are use to hearing that, huh?

All of that stuff "important" stuff is literally standard
No one asks those questions anymore

I’ve said before and I’m not poking fun at him but the 12 mini does not have 5.7 inch display, it has a 5.4 inch
True
Yeah but remember the old iPhone 6,7,8 plus had a 5.5 inch screen and the phone was huge because of the top and bottom bezels.
I refuse to plus size my phone. Ridiculous. Sticking with 12 mini for life looks like then. Mini is hands down the best one.
How much screen on time do you get in 2023?
I can always count on Simple Alpacas anonymous voice to show me the obscure content I'm looking for. Thank brother.

I bought myself an IPhone12mini on ebay cause i'm a huge fan of them!
I'm going to get one of back market

@@TheQuota2001 from which seller did you buy ?
@@TheQuota2001Yeah, I got a iPhone 13 mini for 185 with one crack in the back everything else is fine.
Hello... can you tell me if i can use cases for mini12 for mini13? thanks
Yes, all mini cases are the same just like the size of all the mini phones
The same accessories cannot be used due to different camera sizes

can't agree, a lovely device, but mine was dead after a lil drop :( sad story...... of course the battery is the real negative about the 12 mini..
Nice comparison
The iPhone 5s still receives security updates so I wouldn’t decide based on EOL.

I’m using 13 mini since last 1 month and the performance quality is op❤
how is the battery life
RUclips always opens faster on 12mini which is weird
I guess you should definitely swap the name of these phones in the thumbnail
bro the index photo is bad
I’ll get one thanks
lol, please have a look at your video. you put the two phones on top of eachother and then push one a bit up....
0:40 5.4 inch, not 5.7
this is so scuffed
Can i have your iphone 12 mini and have it repair?
Can I get your 13 mini for 270??
best I can do is 5
