      This is my main reason for looking at the 12 mini (or waiting for the 13 mini) - Phones are the most distracting device. I only use my laptops, macbook or iPad when I genuinely have something I need to do, going for a smaller phone feels like a legit way to reduce screen time

    For the battery, I got a full day out of mine yesterday even though I went golfing and use the app on my phone to track my round. This means I was using the GPS for 3 and 1/2 hours. Then I used it to answer emails and texts throughout the day. I ended with 5 hours of on screen time and still had 20% or more battery left at the end of the day. I was in 5G, 4G, as well as NO SERVICE (for at least 30 minutes) areas during the day. No way i'm complaining about the battery life. I'm actually shocked it lasted that long.

    Nice review. It has been just 4 yrs since iPhone X (released Sept 2017) with 5.8-in display. This was the first ‘big’ display phone and took at least 1 more year for people to ‘adapt’ this size screens. I cannot believe a 5.4in (iPhone 12 mini) is considered a size that people needs to adapt back and consider display size a drawback.

Combined with a new design (which some people may not prefer) and a smaller size, it's a completely different phone. For me, the 11 wasn't exciting enough to make a switch, but the 12 makes it way more compelling.

      Same, it’s so similar to my previous favorite, the iPhone 5s. I’ve been hoping for an iPhone 5 layout with edge to edge display since the iPhone X was released. In a world of tablet sized phones I love that Apple made a phone for people who don’t want 6” displays. I just hope due to disappointing sales and Apple canceling production of the 12 mini that Apple doesn’t move away from making a smaller screen model in the future.

    This and many others decided me on the Mini. Had it 2 days and already got used to it. My old 6 was very slow. The size is great, the screen excellent and the facial recognition seamless even in low light. The battery life is certainly no worse than the 6 and does what I need. What I would say is that the camera is, on the face of it, not a massive improvement but that’s with no real testing yet. One strange and annoying thing is the loss of battery percentage display. Why? It was a conscious decision for sure. All phones are compromise of needs and the Mini suits mine.

      iOS has also improved since I last used it on my iPhone 6 & SE first gen.. glad to come back to it.

    I just got a 12 mini to replace my nearly 5 year old 7 that now my daughter will inherit as her first phone. So happy I waited. I love the original 4-5S design and I'm glad Apple went back to that flat edge design. Much easier to grip and more satisfying. I have a 8 Pro size phone for work, but I find it's way to bulky to carry around as a regular phone. the 12 Mini screen is big enough to satisfy my needs, bigger than the 7 , but the phone size is small enough to be easily pocketable.

    I love this phone, much more comfortable to hold and also fitting in a pocket is fantastic (especially in women’s clothes where pockets are smaller). I don’t have any problems with the battery. It is a solid phone that when dropped doesn’t die, I kept it without a cover for the first month with only a wallet accessory (again very convenient) and despite being dropped it didn’t chip. Screen is great for what I do with it and it is most definitely water resistant which is a great plus. Depends on what you have to do with it obvs but I would recommend it as an avid Instagramer and RUclips addict. Only problem I have is that being smaller the keypad requires a little more attention and some spell checking, but not a big issue as I have gotten used to it! Camera is top notch, really like the wide screen. I love it best phone I have ever bought.
