As am very lite user, since day before yesterday on the first buy I didn’t charge it yet and still going good now it’s 10% from 70% (battery % came with new phone). Just charging now (amazing oh battery life compared to my 5 years of iPhone 6s) 1. Gone for a 1:30 hrs run (streaming offline RUclips background) 2. Tested 4K video for 10 mins of footage (never transferred yet) 3. Took numerous pictures (amazing quality) Only thing I never did is testing game performance, though it’s not concern for me as have a separate iPad Pro for gaming.
I have had the mini for a week now. All I can say it that it is a great phone, the battery is really good for the size. It gets me through the day no problem. Now I am coming from a pixel3 the small one so it’s about 2 hours more than that. I honestly don’t think that you will be disappointed with it at all
Actually the battery life is fantastic. Idk how long you used it but I'm guessing only a day or so. After using mine for three days, the battery life got much better and settled out. I'm averaging 10h of On-Screen Time if I were to drain it to 0. It easily gets me through the day! I did turn off background app refresh and 5G as well, and I don't game on it either. So don't let the battery life concern you for anyone concerned about that.
I’m switching from a 4 and half year old 6. The mini will be like SuperMan compared to my 6. And the mini still fits and works in my hand, arthritis matters. The bigger iPhones are not comfortable. Thank goodness Apple has the full state of the art mini for folks like us.
For those of us who have been waiting for a replacement for our 5 or SE, this is it! And the things he calls a drawback are still a step up for us! From those of us with small hands or who don't want a phone the size of a tablet, THANK YOU, Apple!
I’m coming from an iPhone 5s! So when people say the mini has horrible battery life, it literally makes me laugh 😂😆😂😂 it’s all an upgrade for me baby! And I’ve held out long enough! Fingers crossed for an iPhone 12 mini PRO next year🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don’t buy iPhone 12 mini seriously. Apple doing it intentionally, do not listen to influencer go get the big iPhone hand set like normal set. Apple left issues in mini, so that you keep upgrading. My iphone7plus is still winner n this mini sucks.
@@ThinkPinkAngel I love my mini! Why should i buy a mobile monster only for better battery life ? Have also an iPhone 8 , but i prefer the mini .It has everything as the 12 and there are many solutions for the battery upload .
@@jesabel62 it’s ur choice, mine I told you. Normal sets are better in so many ways but these minis got their position cuz they are cheaper. I have both normal and mini, normal have good batteries n no set heat up issues whereas mini have both issues. If mini is in active usage, it got fast battery drainage and heat up issue. iPhone 7 Plus is older phone but performance wise it is beating mini badly. Anyways, it’s my opinion n the experience I shared is for consumer knowledge that for just being cheap do not go for mini.
I’m selling my XS Max for the Mini 128gb. Lugging my Max around for the last year has gotten old. Don’t get me wrong it’s been the best phone I’ve ever owned... but the Mini ticks enough boxes for me to upgrade and downsize happily. Battery life will be fine in my opinion. Best Regards.
10:08 for the biggest battery saving tip, in my opinion -- forcing the phone to only use LTE, instead of 5G. For myself, I also created a Shortcut that automatically puts the phone into low-power mode when the battery hits 50%.
I just got the mini 12,absolutely fantastic phone and battery finish me the day or charge it at night back home if I use it intensely, if u want that phone and you used with small screen like the 6,7,8 iPhones , go on it’s an amazing phone ( my best choice ever ) so grateful to Allah was one of my wishes in my wishes list , I just love it

I just wanted to reiterate what so many have already said. There’s nothing wrong with the 12 mini. If you think you need a battery that lasts two days then you’re most likely fooling yourself. I’ve had my Mini for 24 hours now and during my 8 hour shift at work it used 23% battery.
This is a phone that has better battery life than every other iPhone ever released apart from 11, 11 Pro, 12 and 12 Pro and people still complain. I love mine and I can get almost two days of battery life with it ! Best "mistake" I've ever made !
You could always get a battery case from Alpatronix or 0lemon. I'm getting my Alpatronix case tomorrow and it's supposed to double the battery life of my iPhone 12 mini. There are two RUclips videos on the 0lemon battery case as well. Alpatronix case didn’t work as advertised because it only charged one percent then stopped. It made a strange noise when charging, so after a week I returned it and got a 0Lemon case instead. 0Lemon rocks! It’s been one week and the phone stays charged at 100 percent for hours once the little round button is pressed. I highly recommend the 0Lemon battery case.
I’ve had a 12 minute for about a week now and while I can tell the battery drains faster than it did in my 11 it’s perfectly fine to get for the day just plug it in when you’re in the car at your desk or at home and you’re fine
@@firebrand_vinay sorry but it was not my idea to set the price so high, no wonder it failed ! They should have just avoided the se 2020 ! iphone 12 mini should be the new se in terms of pricing at least, what a fucking missed chance...
@@danielh9981 yes why not ? This phone has a smaller battery and has not the same value as the bigger ones, now apple is worried about bad sales numbers of 12 mini, I was right...
I ordered one as soon as I could confirm that the size is really fine. It's a bit of a compromise as I couldn't really reach the "previous app" button in the top left, but that may have been because of the huge anti-theft-dongle on the exhibition unit in the local reseller's shop. 2-3 weeks of wait now...
The battery life isn't that bad, I finish each day with 20-30% I think tech youtubers who are probably using phones all day are running it flat as they have to keep up with social media and the latest news all the time. I have to put my phone in my locker at the hospital and can't use it for 7 hours a day. For me it's more than adequate.
Why you speak so bad about it’s battery life? On 5G I’m getting 5:30 hours on screen and on 4G slightly more than 7 h ON SCREEN! I use it daily 6:00 to 22:30 and when I go to sleep I have 20-60% left without a single charge during the day. Stop giving wrong info to the people. 25% disliked your video
Low Power Mode also cuts processing power by roughly 40% Low Power Mode reduces performance of the CPU/GPU as well as mentioned background tasks etc etc
I don’t know what homeboy is talking about because my iPhone 12 mini is INCREDIBLY efficient as far as the battery goes. Coming from a 7 that was starting to break down, this is incredible to have.
It’s really simple, check your current average “screen on” time in the battery settings on your current device. If the average time over the last 10 days is above 4.5 hours or so a day, get a bigger phone, if not, it’s fine!
I got 5 hours on my xiomi redmi note 7 it has a 4k mah battery and it last 8 hours while costing 200£ in 2019 do you think the iPhone 12 will be able to compete battery wise?
How about MagSafe battery bank car vent adapter too .Attach the bake to car adapter holder that is already Attached on the car vent . So this way the bank become a car magnet holder/charger for the phone and the bank should also be easy slip off or clip off tobe use it as an battery extender
I find it funny with everyone shouting disappointment with battery life on this phone, When everyone knew it's a smaller phone which means smaller battery so what were people expecting? It's still bigger than SE 2020 though lol On the subject of battery, All the batteries across iPhone 12 are smaller than the 11 series which that itself is a disappointment imo.
@@helenHTID not everyone knew that smaller phones means small battery. Lmfaoo and just because you expect it to have poor battery life doesn’t mean you can’t be disappointed
Hey I purchased a mini one month ago and I love it ,the others just seem a little bit more cumbersome and personally I like smaller items which makes carrying easier. I don’t know if you’re an EDC guy but the mini fits the bill. Jotan
I came from the iphone X and was not prepared how much I would miss the telephoto lense. It renders the portrait mode virtually useless. Faces look warped and stretched even with the regular lense. The portraits from the X always received the most compliments of all photos I took. I don’t understand why anyone would need an ultrawide really.
I'm just wondering what all y'all take photos of that the ultrawide lens is useful and the telephoto isn't? (I'd already have a 12 Mini if it had a telephoto lens, because that's just about the only one I use. I think I've used the ultrawide on my 11 Pro half a dozen times in the last 15 months.)
Just got my mini and I’m in love... favorite phone I’ve ever had battery life is no issue for me as most of my screen time happens on my 2020 iPad Pro and when I’m out it usually means I’m driving somewhere so my mini can charge on the way there and back
The mini is perfect for me , 5G is a marketing joke on all 12s .......LTE is fast over all . Turn off 5G .....mini is 8 Hours , I don’t watch movies or game on the phone ......so it’s pretty much perfect 👌🏼, and it fits in every pocket.
I started with the iPhone 12 Pro Max as I tend to be a "go big or go home" type of smartphone owner. My carrier offered me a deal I could not refuse on a mini (i.e. FREE!), so I am an owner of two iPhones. Right now my mini is my main driver and so far so good! I appreciate the small size when out and about, where I am not watching videos, but need a phone and texting, which the mini does perfectly. As for the much maligned battery, more than enough to get me through the day.
I just picked up 2 MagSafe chargers for my Mini. From what I’m reading, I can safely leave them on the charger overnight without battery degradation due to the intelligence in the phone & charger. Is this true? Thanks
I use my phone pretty heavily but I just had to have the Mini for the smaller form factor. I love it!! I’m working from home so I can give it a quick charge as needed.
@@808Affliction Really from a XS?! Is That Upgrade Worth it? How about the battery instead of the XS? My XS Battery is really bad. I have 4 hours Display time.
Lukas B. Dude yesterday I took my 12 mini off charge at 8am and then put it back on the charger at 12am at 28% . Idk why people are saying the battery is shit but it’s not!!! The small size and camera is a total upgrade!
Auto brightness DESTROYS the battery life, wtf? why would i want my brightness shifting every few minutes? its been tested. you can easily lose 30 minutes to an hour of battery just having that 1 setting enabled.
I traded in my 11 pro for the 12 mini yesterday.... today I had no issues with the battery. Woke up at 11 and now I’m going to bed at 12:02 am. Lightly used today and it’s on 58 percent.
So I’m going to get the iPhone 12 mini, I just can’t decide what color I want. Let alone storage size, I’m fine with the battery life because my current is an iPhone 8 with 82% health so I think I’ll be fine with it.
I just got the new IPhone 12 mini.Love it! It is big enough.The battery life doesn’t matter at all.I bought I unicorn beetle case.It makes the phone look bigger then it is
Well if you’re an adult who works between 5-8 hours a day, this phone is great. Because I work, I barely use my phone for a majority of the day. I do videography and I do watch RUclips pretty heavy and I have yet to have an issue with the battery!
@Auborn I just checked mine and it’s at 91% it will last longer is you use a shower charger or wirelessly charge. Some people have managed to keep there’s at 95% or higher.
Got the mini few months ago and it’s the best decision I have made coming from the SE (1st gen). The batt life, camera, display and size are prefect for me.
Thank you for the video. I used to have an iPhone SE 2020 version and its battery was really bad. It used to drop by 40% overnight. But then i did really well in my assessments and i got the iPhone 12 mini. It is an amazing phone and it only drops around 7-10% overnight. It fits in my pocket and i only need to use 1 hand 🎉 i really recommend this phone
I have an apple mini and my experience has been that reception coming into the phone is not great. Previously I owned a kyocera smart phone and that phone had excellent reception. You would think its a tower issue, but same provider same plan just switched to the apple mini. And now the incoming reception of the phone is quite a bit worse from my old phone. I live in the country but as I said my old phone worked really well. Not sure what to do as my provider does not have any answers for this
You didn't mention an appropriate USB C to USB adapter to allow Apple charging bricks that came standard with the older iPhones to charge the 12 mini. Is that not an option?
They should have made the 12 mini about a millimeter thicker and fill it up with more battery thereby boosting its battery life. That small form factor could easily afford to get thicker. Then it would have been the perfect compact flagship.
you keep saying that the battery life is not great but i literally watched a battery test video of the 12 mini beating the 11 in terms of battery life. maybe test the devices first before jumping into conclusions?
I went from the iPhone XS Max to the iPhone 11pro now I have the mini and I love it. Battery life could be slightly better but manageable. Absolutely loving it.
What about the a14 throttling issue resulting in much lower fps and 2x(vs 11) battery drain during gaming? Does mini suffer from the same like it’s big brothers? I understand this is either a software or hardware issue(lack of the heatpipe in the new cpu)
Hey folks. I’m a pixel user since it was nexus, so stock Android all the way. I use an iPad extensively and used an iPhone back in the colored plastic shell days. I’m intrigued by this new iPhone. Primary concerns: I like a fingerprint reader. Quite a bit. I use it for all of my password needs. Google assistant has become integrated into my home, I suspect no major issues with this having used the iPad in that ecosystem already. Any caveats from converts or ambiverts?
Battery it’s plenty good.... last just as long as the iPhone X, if not longer.... I use it all day with some busy days on the phone, haven’t seen any issue with battery life
Hi, I have 11 pro now and I like 12 mini, what advice do you give me to go from 11 pro to 12 mini or wait until next year, I also think that the battery is smaller for mini but I don't know what to do? thanks
Heyy guys.. battery life is not so much of an issue unless you are a hardcore power user. I have been using it for a month and still I get an entire day's battery life.
People will spend £699+ on an iPhone with a whack battery!! And then spend more money on battery packs to carry around with it, apple own you! And this is coming from an apple owner, I’m just not paying for a new phone with downgraded batteries
Mine still goes within a day and a half. Has a 97% batt performance capacity, been using it for 9mos now. What i dont like using a qi charger or magsafe, is it heats up easily, i opt using a normal lightning cable.
I think apple won release battery case because of magsafe. I think mini is great for battery case because it’s mini and does not get too thick when keep battery case
I absolutely love the Mini, but in the end I opted for the Pro. Everything about the Mini is perfect for my tastes: I'm not a big video-watcher or gamer on my phone, but I do care about performance and the quality of the screen. The deal-breaker for me was the camera setup. Although I'm not a "pro," whatever that means, I use the telephoto lens all the time. In fact, I wish Apple had an even longer telephoto in the mix. And I love the lidar sensor on my 12 Pro. It's really just a toy for me, but I love it. I do walkthroughs of favorite places, I toy around with 3D graphics, and I like seeing the amazing stuff it can do. I'm thinking of picking up a Mini to use as my main phone, with the Pro kept as a backup phone for when I need the better camera array. If Apple discontinues the Mini, I'll definitely rush out and get one before they sell out.
I'm coming from an S8 plus and need a smaller phone as I have arthritis in my hands... would everyone here recommend the iPhone 12 Mini? Even my s8 plus needs a charge by the end of the day... and that's a big phone.
5 year old 5s upgrade here. Battery life is very good for anyone who does not live there entire day on a phone. I can charge every other night if I choose.
I’ve had the mini for 3 weeks and never ended the day below 25% charge. I have no battery issue at all. I’m coming from a 2016 SE so comparatively the mini is worlds better. I don’t know what these people are doing to run out of juice so easily.
I'm a normal user of iPhone 12 Mini and I'm having no problem coming out through the day with one battery charging (emails, navigation, social media, music apps...). If you're getting out of battery any sooner, than the phone is either not appropriate for your work, or maybe you are just too addicted to phone, apps, internet and you should do sth about that.
The title is so deceiving, this is a review of the mini, not a battery life fix. viewers might have to start watching from 9:30

I’ve noticed my 12 mini’s battery is much better compared to my iPhone 7.
I had an iPhone 11 before and compared to that the mini has less battery but still enough for a typical day for me.

Yeah. But: "Iphone 12 Battery Prank" sounded better when they were developing the device.

I'm coming from the pixel 3 as well. Tbh, the pixel 3 had way better battery, but the 12 mini is good enough, and the form factor is fantastic.
Thinking of switching from a pixel 3 xl, worth it?
Sure is I find that it has gotten better over time.

I have to put my phone in my locker at the hospital and can't use it for 7 hours a day. For me it's more than adequate.
ikr everyones acting so dramatic
Why you speak so bad about it’s battery life? On 5G I’m getting 5:30 hours on screen and on 4G slightly more than 7 h ON SCREEN! I use it daily 6:00 to 22:30 and when I go to sleep I have 20-60% left without a single charge during the day. Stop giving wrong info to the people. 25% disliked your video
Low Power Mode also cuts processing power by roughly 40%
Low Power Mode reduces performance of the CPU/GPU as well as mentioned background tasks etc etc
Perfect!
I don’t know what homeboy is talking about because my iPhone 12 mini is INCREDIBLY efficient as far as the battery goes. Coming from a 7 that was starting to break down, this is incredible to have.
It’s really simple, check your current average “screen on” time in the battery settings on your current device. If the average time over the last 10 days is above 4.5 hours or so a day, get a bigger phone, if not, it’s fine!
I got 5 hours on my xiomi redmi note 7 it has a 4k mah battery and it last 8 hours while costing 200£ in 2019 do you think the iPhone 12 will be able to compete battery wise?
How about MagSafe battery bank car vent adapter too .Attach the bake to car adapter holder that is already Attached on the car vent . So this way the bank become a car magnet holder/charger for the phone and the bank should also be easy slip off or clip off tobe use it as an battery extender
According to this guy there r two users ...one who live on their phone for the whole day and other who uses it for a couple of texts and calls 😂
Definitely a bit disappointing about battery life, but a MagSafe battery bank sounds legit!
I find it funny with everyone shouting disappointment with battery life on this phone, When everyone knew it's a smaller phone which means smaller battery so what were people expecting? It's still bigger than SE 2020 though lol On the subject of battery, All the batteries across iPhone 12 are smaller than the 11 series which that itself is a disappointment imo.
@@helenHTID not everyone knew that smaller phones means small battery. Lmfaoo and just because you expect it to have poor battery life doesn’t mean you can’t be disappointed
@@fatoumatacisse3796 Yeah I guess you're right? Dumb exists in all walks of life. LMFAO
Hey I purchased a mini one month ago and I love it ,the others just seem a little bit more cumbersome and personally I like smaller items which makes carrying easier. I don’t know if you’re an EDC guy but the mini fits the bill. Jotan
I came from the iphone X and was not prepared how much I would miss the telephoto lense. It renders the portrait mode virtually useless. Faces look warped and stretched even with the regular lense. The portraits from the X always received the most compliments of all photos I took. I don’t understand why anyone would need an ultrawide really.
I'm just wondering what all y'all take photos of that the ultrawide lens is useful and the telephoto isn't?
(I'd already have a 12 Mini if it had a telephoto lens, because that's just about the only one I use. I think I've used the ultrawide on my 11 Pro half a dozen times in the last 15 months.)
But I'm glad to hear the battery life isn't horrible.
Just got my mini and I’m in love... favorite phone I’ve ever had battery life is no issue for me as most of my screen time happens on my 2020 iPad Pro and when I’m out it usually means I’m driving somewhere so my mini can charge on the way there and back
The mini is perfect for me , 5G is a marketing joke on all 12s .......LTE is fast over all . Turn off 5G .....mini is 8 Hours , I don’t watch movies or game on the phone ......so it’s pretty much perfect 👌🏼, and it fits in every pocket.
I started with the iPhone 12 Pro Max as I tend to be a "go big or go home" type of smartphone owner. My carrier offered me a deal I could not refuse on a mini (i.e. FREE!), so I am an owner of two iPhones. Right now my mini is my main driver and so far so good! I appreciate the small size when out and about, where I am not watching videos, but need a phone and texting, which the mini does perfectly. As for the much maligned battery, more than enough to get me through the day.
What's the currently value of the iphone 12 mini black series? It's in very great condition. If I wanted to sell it?
I just picked up 2 MagSafe chargers for my Mini. From what I’m reading, I can safely leave them on the charger overnight without battery degradation due to the intelligence in the phone & charger. Is this true? Thanks
I use my phone pretty heavily but I just had to have the Mini for the smaller form factor. I love it!! I’m working from home so I can give it a quick charge as needed.
I love my mini!!! I upgraded from a IPhone XS
@@808Affliction Really from a XS?! Is That Upgrade Worth it? How about the battery instead of the XS? My XS Battery is really bad. I have 4 hours Display time.
Lukas B. Dude yesterday I took my 12 mini off charge at 8am and then put it back on the charger at 12am at 28% . Idk why people are saying the battery is shit but it’s not!!! The small size and camera is a total upgrade!
@@808Affliction how was the battery life from your Xs? Better than 12 Mini? I use RUclips Maximum 2h a day and the Rest is Spotify or WhatsApp.
@@808Affliction me too. I love it, battery is getting me true the day easily
Auto brightness DESTROYS the battery life, wtf? why would i want my brightness shifting every few minutes? its been tested. you can easily lose 30 minutes to an hour of battery just having that 1 setting enabled.
From a 5s, the 12 mini has outstanding battery. Didn’t realize how bad the 5s’ battery was until I got a new phone
yeah it's bad I only made it until around 1pm when I was on trips out of town and I had to use GPS / Uber
I traded in my 11 pro for the 12 mini yesterday.... today I had no issues with the battery. Woke up at 11 and now I’m going to bed at 12:02 am. Lightly used today and it’s on 58 percent.
So I’m going to get the iPhone 12 mini, I just can’t decide what color I want. Let alone storage size, I’m fine with the battery life because my current is an iPhone 8 with 82% health so I think I’ll be fine with it.
Not sure why you only have 42k subs. You have a very good channel. Keep it up
I just got the new IPhone 12 mini.Love it! It is big enough.The battery life doesn’t matter at all.I bought I unicorn beetle case.It makes the phone look bigger then it is
Well if you’re an adult who works between 5-8 hours a day, this phone is great. Because I work, I barely use my phone for a majority of the day. I do videography and I do watch RUclips pretty heavy and I have yet to have an issue with the battery!
I am sticking with the SE for now. I prefer Touch ID, which is not supported on the 12
Just got the 12 mini the other day. Upgrading from an 11. The battery life isn’t as good but I’m home slot so no biggy
@Auborn last time I checked it was 93% and I use mostly fast charging.
@Auborn I just checked mine and it’s at 91% it will last longer is you use a shower charger or wirelessly charge. Some people have managed to keep there’s at 95% or higher.
iPhone 12 mini is one of the best phones out there. No issues with battery life. I’m enjoying it.
Got the mini few months ago and it’s the best decision I have made coming from the SE (1st gen). The batt life, camera, display and size are prefect for me.
@Auborn 99%
Thank you for the video. I used to have an iPhone SE 2020 version and its battery was really bad. It used to drop by 40% overnight. But then i did really well in my assessments and i got the iPhone 12 mini. It is an amazing phone and it only drops around 7-10% overnight. It fits in my pocket and i only need to use 1 hand 🎉 i really recommend this phone
I have an apple mini and my experience has been that reception coming into the phone is not great. Previously I owned a kyocera smart phone and that phone had excellent reception. You would think its a tower issue, but same provider same plan just switched to the apple mini. And now the incoming reception of the phone is quite a bit worse from my old phone. I live in the country but as I said my old phone worked really well. Not sure what to do as my provider does not have any answers for this
The battery life is NOT an issue genuinely, been using the phone for a month now and its not died on me once
bro how long we can play games with single charge?
You didn't mention an appropriate USB C to USB adapter to allow Apple charging bricks that came standard with the older iPhones to charge the 12 mini. Is that not an option?
They should have made the 12 mini about a millimeter thicker and fill it up with more battery thereby boosting its battery life. That small form factor could easily afford to get thicker. Then it would have been the perfect compact flagship.
I also felt 8-8,5mm wouldn’t have been bad.
Is there a Chinese version of iPhone 12 mini that works with two nano sim cards?
Yes Hong Kong model
you keep saying that the battery life is not great but i literally watched a battery test video of the 12 mini beating the 11 in terms of battery life. maybe test the devices first before jumping into conclusions?
I went from the iPhone XS Max to the iPhone 11pro now I have the mini and I love it. Battery life could be slightly better but manageable. Absolutely loving it.
After charging the battery from the puck, you could just tell it to puck off :)
I’m torn cause the SE has a finger print scanner.
Great Review i always wanted the 12mini and this Video make my Choice way easier thx alot Buddy 👍🏿
Why doesn’t apple make “Eject MagSafe” button in control center?
How do you unlock the iphone 12 mini. I accidentally lock it and don't remember the code.
What about the a14 throttling issue resulting in much lower fps and 2x(vs 11) battery drain during gaming? Does mini suffer from the same like it’s big brothers? I understand this is either a software or hardware issue(lack of the heatpipe in the new cpu)
How is the battery life compared to a MOTO android phone?
I have note ultra. Wife got the mini. I love the mini and think it's the phone of the year
I have a mini and use it a lot and it’s battery last till l go to bed at 24:00. So don’t know where you get this. It is all I have to do everything on
I like my mini and it’s fine to me. My battery needs are fine with it.
Same. The battery life is great for me.
I’ve got no complaints either
Hey folks. I’m a pixel user since it was nexus, so stock Android all the way. I use an iPad extensively and used an iPhone back in the colored plastic shell days.
I’m intrigued by this new iPhone.
Primary concerns:
I like a fingerprint reader. Quite a bit. I use it for all of my password needs.
Google assistant has become integrated into my home, I suspect no major issues with this having used the iPad in that ecosystem already.
Any caveats from converts or ambiverts?
They should make a battery puck that looks like the apple logo.
Battery it’s plenty good.... last just as long as the iPhone X, if not longer.... I use it all day with some busy days on the phone, haven’t seen any issue with battery life
My original iPhone SE of 2016 battery gets charged about every 3rd day or 2nd with heavy use. Seems we’re going backwards
Hi, I have 11 pro now and I like 12 mini, what advice do you give me to go from 11 pro to 12 mini or wait until next year, I also think that the battery is smaller for mini but I don't know what to do? thanks
Heyy guys.. battery life is not so much of an issue unless you are a hardcore power user. I have been using it for a month and still I get an entire day's battery life.
Does magsafe faster charging damage batt faster like wire fast charger compare to normal qi wireless charging?
Hey thats a catchy beat at the ending may i know the name of it?
People will spend £699+ on an iPhone with a whack battery!! And then spend more money on battery packs to carry around with it, apple own you! And this is coming from an apple owner, I’m just not paying for a new phone with downgraded batteries
That’s a genius idea. I hope someone is working on it!
I’ve upgraded from iPhone 8+, and I’m completely satisfied! Best phone out there to buy 🍻
Mine still goes within a day and a half. Has a 97% batt performance capacity, been using it for 9mos now. What i dont like using a qi charger or magsafe, is it heats up easily, i opt using a normal lightning cable.
Had an xr but sold coz it’s too big and heavy, while the 12 mini is perfect in every way, design for me! I sleep with smile now~
Do you know when they will drop the apple battery case?
I love your videos could you consider that MagSafe already BAD, But the apple smart battery case is a solution
I think apple won release battery case because of magsafe. I think mini is great for battery case because it’s mini and does not get too thick when keep battery case
I absolutely love the Mini, but in the end I opted for the Pro. Everything about the Mini is perfect for my tastes: I'm not a big video-watcher or gamer on my phone, but I do care about performance and the quality of the screen. The deal-breaker for me was the camera setup. Although I'm not a "pro," whatever that means, I use the telephoto lens all the time. In fact, I wish Apple had an even longer telephoto in the mix. And I love the lidar sensor on my 12 Pro. It's really just a toy for me, but I love it. I do walkthroughs of favorite places, I toy around with 3D graphics, and I like seeing the amazing stuff it can do.
I'm thinking of picking up a Mini to use as my main phone, with the Pro kept as a backup phone for when I need the better camera array. If Apple discontinues the Mini, I'll definitely rush out and get one before they sell out.
I'm coming from an S8 plus and need a smaller phone as I have arthritis in my hands... would everyone here recommend the iPhone 12 Mini? Even my s8 plus needs a charge by the end of the day... and that's a big phone.
Yes for sure...take care of yourself
5 year old 5s upgrade here. Battery life is very good for anyone who does not live there entire day on a phone. I can charge every other night if I choose.
I’ve had the mini for 3 weeks and never ended the day below 25% charge. I have no battery issue at all. I’m coming from a 2016 SE so comparatively the mini is worlds better. I don’t know what these people are doing to run out of juice so easily.
I'm a normal user of iPhone 12 Mini and I'm having no problem coming out through the day with one battery charging (emails, navigation, social media, music apps...). If you're getting out of battery any sooner, than the phone is either not
appropriate for your work, or maybe you are just too addicted to phone, apps, internet and you should do sth about that.
Just ordered mine today, let’s also not forget as far as the battery goes the mini has fast charging
Battery for me is perfect and I use it a lot.
Even me
