SE and Mini are too small :/
Hey max tech I was wondering how much money you would want for ur iPhone 12 bc if u would want to sell it we can meet up bc I live in cda and u live in Spokane it’s completely fine if not but thx for the great content and have a great day
@Apple OS Yeah, that’s why I got the Pro.
I take A LOT of pictures in my life, so I wanted the LiDAR sensor and telephoto camera
Wish u make a free giveaway iphone 12 love from Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️
currently i am using a se2020, but the mini look so attractive to me...
I feel the same but why not wait till the face mask wearing days are over
Bro I also using se 2020..I am satisfied..we can use it atleast two years..then we can buy new iPhone 14...bro only 9months there for 13..let’s go happy with this with awesome Touch ID...love my se 2020❤️
I’m glad I waited for the mini instead of getting the se2020 this summer
I went from the 2020SE to the 12-mini... way better option for me. My main issues with the 2020SE were battery life and the cameras... everything about the 12 mini seems to be an upgrade. The 2020SE did feel a little better in the hand though then the 12 mini, but not by much. Battery life made a significant difference for me...
Agreed
iPhone 12 Mini.
Because having a phone actually fit any pocket I have without falling out is nice.
Oh, and I can actually hold it with ONE hand.
Well unfortunately it can still fall out of your pocket if you squat
@@RennieAsh True, but at least that's not often, or at least I try & be carefull.
Gothic Angel or have a case lol. On an expensive new phone I probably would. I didn’t with my 2016 SE (used) but it slid it out a few times and has damages, but nothing too serious
@@RennieAsh Oh I always have a case. I use the clear flexable kind, and they've worked great for me, even face down drops. There's no excuse to not own a case if I can do that, lol.
That was the whole point of the mini.... Smart decision :)
I think I’ll go with the mini. Already have an iPad so don’t need another big screen. I’ve been rocking the first SE for over two years so the mini seems to be a natural upgrade.
I have an IPhone 7 Plus and will also be upgrading to the mini as the screen size is basically the same. So I’m not loosing any screen switching to a smaller phone.
@nihaalostreetz yeah but it is barely noticeable so not to bothered by it
Irrelevant comment: U look so cute
@@cityplanner3063 yo man im doing the same thing lol
Yes that’s what I want to say 👍🏻👍🏻,,If anyone wants to watch movies, they need an iPad👍🏻
The mini should’ve been priced at $599
Especially since the battery life is worse than the xr and the 11
How much does the mini costs sorry im lazy to watch the whole video
@@perkhere2252 And I wouldn’t mind if they keep the screen at 720p could’ve been better for battery life
It’s just too much for anyone who’d like to move to Apple eco or from much older iPhones
@@liability7814 $729
Yep and at least start at 128gb. It would sell even better.
This is the most detailed comparison so far I had ever seen in RUclips, really excellent! Thank you Max!
Your Welcome!!
Agree. Great job.
Thanks man! The BEST comparison on YT. For example, comparison of SE and Mini playing 16:9 playback! I was looking for that and NOBODY includes this one, everybody just zooms the video on the mini and I've seen like 20 comparisons, you are the first one! Thank you so much! Such a great in-depth video! You've just earned a new subscriber ;)
Lets face it: we all want the mini to win
If only it have a gd battery
I want neither and both to win.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no single best phone, iPhone or otherwise.
Best is relative to ones needs. Not which device has the latest hardware.
For the majority of people who want a iPhone experience just about any one of the iPhones with home buttons on them will work perfectly fine.
I say this because the majority of the iPhone owners I know are still using older iPhones. And I agree. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I still use my 6s/6s+ and they do everything I want and need.
I have the 7+, 8+, 10, 10s, 10sMax, 11 and 11proMax. SIM card gets a workout going from phone to phone weekly.
I consider myself a average user and can say from personal experience with all these devices that where day to day use is concerned there is no real difference between a $300.00 used iPhone and a new $1000.00 iPhone. The average user is better off getting a good used 6s and putting a good case on it. Seriously.
It is possible if unlikely that the 6s might get another year of OS updates. Even if it doesn’t. It is normal for iOS to get security updates for a few years after the OS updates stop. This gives iPhones a relative lifespan of 6 to 7 years for updates.
Not to mention all the Phones that are still in use that haven’t received any updates for years.
Do yourself a favor. Know what you want to do with your phone. Are you ever going to use lidar? No? Don’t buy a 12, in fact don’t buy one anyway. Only apple can fix them, and why pay out the ars for the phone and then pay 3x more to have a broken screen fixed.
Do you take lots of pictures, do they need to be studio quality? No and no? You might do well with a 6s+ or 7/+. If you need a better camera go with a 8/+ or SE2.
Honestly, unless your some kind of technofile or you just absolutely have to have near studio quality pictures from your phone you probably don’t need more than a 7/+ or 8/+ why spend more if you don’t need to.
@@mikecrabtree8200 you have the right opinion

Why? Because Apples and Oranges just don't mix! 😂
More like people don’t know what lighter red is
Imo I liked the deeper red.
Red is kinda sus
@@bemacbe that reply was better than the comment😂
Hands down best comparison I've seen, shows exactly everything I'm looking for. Thank you! Appreciate the technical part as well!
I love how all of your videos actually cover the things I care about when reviewing the iPhone 12 series.
No one compares the display sizes as professional and helpful as you do, thanks a lot
One of the most awaited videos by max tech
ty for comparing to the se! an actual relevant comparison!!
Got my iPhone mini yesterday morning. From the moment I unboxed it and peeled off the cover, I instantly fell in love with it. It was so much more compact and lighter than my old Lg g7. Easier to use one handed and I can actually reach all corners of my phone without straining my thumb! Although the battery life will be shorter than my larger phone, I’m willing to make that trade off for a more compact form factor. Also I’ve an iPad for movies and gaming so this fits well with my lifestyle. Haven’t had a phone this compact since the iPhone 4
Same for me. Loved my iPhone 4S back then for size and design. Coming now from a XR, I will be updating to the 13 Mini and later this year from an iPad mini original (1) to the new iPad mini, so I think the Mini will be perfect (and enough battery wise). Already excited! ☺️
Nice video! You actually deserve more subs and views.
Thanks for this! I was looking for a video like this! Very helpful.
My comparison today is between the 1st Generation SE (that I’ve had for 3.5 years) to the iPhone 12 mini (that I unboxed this morning). The mini is super fast and the screen is so nice! Basically the same feel in the hand because the square edge design is similar to both. The mini is slightly larger than the 1gen SE. It’s the perfect upgrade for someone like me that loves small phones.
Exactly! Same situation here.
both suck
Comparison I've been looking for! Thanks!!
Wireless charging is so freakin inefficient and wasteful. I can't even believe this is a thing.
Its in its first phase it will get better over the years
No doubt. Kinda cool for overnight bed side charging, but any other time pointless.
I agree it is stupid. It still technically has a wire. It’s just not plugged directly into the phone. Plus how do you use your phone while charging? I’m fine sticking in my lighting cable. Never found it to be challenging. Now if there was a true wireless charging like a Bluetooth style, that would be something.
@@joelf5565 true its not true wireless charging, it should be called Portless charging or something. U can still hold ur phone like with a normal cable because of the magnets but it's nothing really revolutionary
Thanks! So many detail in this video! You’re very conscientious!
I got the new iPhone 12 mini and my daughter asked me if I wanted a mini instead of a large when I come in it because my fingers are an inch shorter than yours it fits perfectly in my hand put fits perfectly in my pocket and I can add the attachment and carry my drivers license in my debit card with my phone and nine times out of 10 I don’t need a purse I did this with my iPhone 7 which I loved and I found that the new 12 mini is about a quarter of an inch shorter than the old seven was the pictures on the iPhone 12 mini are gorgeous and are the only criticism I have I’ve had it about a month now and on the left side
U have great videos! Saw all ur iphone 12 content! Thanks
Doesn't anyone remember that the "mini" was the original size of an iPhone? It just got bigger and bigger, and I clearly remember them saying that it had a bigger screen for taking pictures. And from there it got bigger and bigger.
it’s the size of the 5s but shorter
I do recall. I loved my 5s. This is actually bigger screen since it is edge to edge. I want the mini. I’m just stuck with my big brick heavy 11 for now.
Thank you for this great video review!
Waiting for this video for so long!
Max, Again great video. I was just confused when you tested front camera which phone is SE and which 12mini. Audio quality test is amazing clearly shows the difference between 12 and 12mini. Are you going to prepare battery test?
This is very informative video. Even little details included. Thanks So Much.
Upgraded to the mini from a 6s plus yesterday. The size takes some getting used to, but wow I love it already overall.
great review thanks
I just bought SE. And it never disappoints me.
I would love to see a comparison of macbook 13 m1 with 16gb ram against maxed out macbook pro 16" once the 13" arrives
If the m1 chip wins intel becomes trash
@R3D i believe that there won't be much of a difference between them besides thermal.. Macbook air doesn't have a fan so it will probably reach very high temperatures. Besides that, i believe the cpu performance difference will not be that important
@@NvanRoblox well. Intel is already trash thanks to AMD
@@danieljin2193 I meant IF it wins
@@rststudio8805 Your right
Excellent review good detail in general most reviewers just bang on about the camera
Awesome comparison, side question, what is the background video that appears when you are comparing the HDR video? showing different locations around the world.
Thank you for this super informative video! The best comparison ever!
The last iphone I used was an iphone 5C, now I'm getting the 12 mini
I had 5s now i got se 2020
@@mysterisstudios exactly the same as me 👍
Same
@@mysterisstudios is se 2020 good?
Great review. See you at 500k 👍🏻👍🏻
this is really helpful
Good review. The speaker, video, & gaming points made me decide to get the 12 instead of the mini.
I went to the store and tried all the sizes. Even though I’m 6’4 and have big hands, mini feels much better than 12 and pro max.
I use the phone in one hand 90% of the time and need to be able to reach everywhere with my thumb. Technically I can do that on 12, but it feels a bit uncomfortable to reach to corners of the screen and since I do it a lot during the day it’ll result in constant annoyance I think.
Mini feels solid in that regard. And it also seems to be a bit more durable than the rest of the lineup due to the smaller size. Glossy back feels so grippy and with boxy design I feel like going caseless.
Don’t care about the speakers quality. Battery life is not an issue since I’m having a power bank. Plus I watch videos and play games on my iPad mostly.
The worst impression I had was from the pro max. It’s absolutely unusable in one hand and frosted back is slippery so you need to use a case which adds to the bulk. And it’s noticeably heavier. Mini feels like a breeze in comparison ))
I second this.
Facts!
4:25 12 mini red reminds me of the pink on the 5c and the salmon/coral on the XR
I am getting the mini on Xmas! Thanks for ur reviews!
Best comparison review on RUclips! I’m upgrading from my trusty iPhone 6 that I’ve had for 6 years & was unsure which one of these 3 to upgrade too, I’m definitely getting the iPhone 12 now & in that same blue colour
Did you end up getting the 12? I'm on an iPhone 6 with a shattered screen and half of it doesn't work lol. I'm wondering if I should get the 12 or the SE 2. Any tips?
Just got the 12 mini today lovin it got it for the small compact size while being very capable with specs and camera. I do have my fingers crossed for an Apple battery pack case for it though that would make it game over!!! Great content appreciate the thoroughness of the entire lineup if the iPhone 12s!👏🏾
Did you find the earpiece speaker weak (some distortions) while playing homemade or TikTok videos at a high volume or when speakerphone calls? With no issues with music or HD videos tho
SE 2020 all the way. Touch ID should have never left!
personally i prefer face id but tough id is still very good !!
They should’ve our phones for those who still want Touch ID why remove it completely and
Awesome video!!! Thank you!
Good info👌
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.
Max, compare max brightness on the phones. I got my mini yesterday and it does not get as bright as my two year old Xs even though they are rated the same amount of nits.
Very nice review 👍👍👍👍
I have an Iphone 11 and it feels enormous and has always felt enormous and I have big hands. Thanks for this review and looking forward to the Mini 13 which I'll probably switch to from the 11. Giant phones have always looked ridiculous to me ever since I saw the first enormous HTC and outwardly laughed that anyone would carry that around. Now it's commonplace but no less ridiculous looking, to me anyway.
I have the 11 too and its so heavy too, hurts like a bitch to drop it on my face or foot lol and the battery aged like avocado. I am looking to buy a mini too!
Well done video... I love my mini as I’m a photographer, but I think for many average users, the SE is the best value...
Using 6s Plus and 12 mini. And it’s amazing.
If they made the iPhone SE with the iPhone 12 design, I would prefer it. I like the bezel, home button, the LCD screen is fine, don't need magsafe, don't need wireless charging, just a single camera lens but with better low light, and increase ram to at least 4gb. I hope they keep the SE with home button in the future.
yes we really hope that happens
love the content
more subs to come
3:59 Ladies you know the procedures
I got the standard 12 which felt ok in the shop. Soon as I put a case on it just felt too big so I returned it. Got the mini on Friday morning... much better. Yes, screen is smaller but I’m already used to that. I can use it one handed and battery is fine.
I decided I am returning my 12 for the mini man the same thing happened to me man my freakin hand hurts from these big phones...Mini time!
Got to say I'm enjoying your videos will be making my mind up soon on what to buy :)
thanks so much bruv.
Good job!
I can’t wait to upgrade from 2016 se to the mini!!!!
Just traded in my SE 2020 for 12, legit a good upgrade
That’s what I’m doing on Friday. Is it a good phone?
@@ellaharris8103 12 is decent but let me tell you if you’re willing to pay for the price of a 12, you should upgrade to a 13/13 mini, the battery alone already beats 12 by far
But if you just want a better phone you got plenty of options my friends :)

Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet classical music. This type of music can have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions, slowing the pulse and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the levels of stress hormones...
Thanks!
Absolutely true story here, great review and comparison.
Yes, well done Max
Good work maxtech. The tech channel i trust the most on apple products. I would like to see M1 Mac Mini vs 2020 iMac i7/i9 Xcode performance. Tia.
Best comparison I saw
Waiting for the macbook air with m1 chip. I am just curious how the unified memory uses the memory itself because apps in ARM processor uses less ram than the x86 ones.
Loving my mini. I am able to get through my day on the battery
Did you find the earpiece speaker weak (some distortions) while playing homemade or TikTok videos at a high volume or when speakerphone calls? With no issues with music or HD videos tho
Be advised, there's a hearing aid connectivity issue with ALL iPhone 12
models. People with hearing aids are experiencing static alternating
between left and right side channels as well as intermittent audio loss
in either right or left sides....Apple is aware of the problem and the
engineers are working to fix it.

This issue was corrected in the new release 14.2.1 or the beta 14.3 PB2
SE 2020 gang where yall at?
I have a older version of SE Wonder what the different beside the hardware. My SE hardware looks more thick and sharp. The button are way different too and I think better♥ Still going strong!
This is, in my opinion, is the best iPhone ever made. It follows and represents what Steve Jobs wanted from an iPhone. Pocketable, single handed usage and more powerful than anything on the market with top of the line tech. This is the continuation of his philosophy.
I love the godamn size so much. Finally a powerful mobile phone which can really be called mobile after ages. I hope Android manufacturers follow this trend and come up with innovative ideas to increase the battery life.
Yes. iPhone mini is perfect. I love mine.
Except it is not top of the line tech
No 120Hz refresh rate no party
I went with the Mini. For gaming and "immersive" experiences I use an iPad so the small size of the Mini is a plus.
Yes!! Having the 12 mini and an iPad is a way to go.
I have the mini.
I absolutely love the size. I wanted this since the iPhone too the next size jump after the 5s/SE.
The battery life really is going to be an issue with a heavy user though.

I am waiting for this comparison you guys are read my mind
im in the uk if i was to buy from another website will i get headphones and charger?
When you gonna get macbook !?
After 6 years iPhone 6 I’ll go for iPhone 12, skipped 6 generations 😂😂
smart move
what about the weird yellow screens color calibration?
Mini sounded way clearer to me. SE sounded like it was muffled
I think the SE sounded richer.
Decent review 👊🏻
No. Poor camera review. The photo quality is incredibly similar. The difference you need to look for is low light. That is where the Mini shines. Not worth the price difference at all. The SE has an incredible camera.
These reviewers hype things up to the point where many want to buy new phone every year. Not worth it.
You've not taken the ultrawide and selfie camera into account.
@@reevanamin5865 The ultra wide is irrelevant. It’s a feature and doesn’t affect my overall assessment. The ultra wide quality is soft and is subpar at best. Reviewers often gloss this over because they receive review samples from the vendor. The selfie camera is not a deal breaker for me. The SE is good enough by a long shot. Now, the Mini is a better camera obviously, but not worth the additional cost.
And like I mentioned, it’s better to zoom into photos to see true quality. That’s the key. Just looking at normal viewing size does very little. Try using a solid monitor and view these photos. You may be surprised at how good/bad they really are.
The new iPhone 12 is sold without a charger !? And consumers accept this ??? What the hell is wrong with human brains? Have you been collectively lobotomized?😱😱😱
I totally agree with you on this!!
the red of the iphone 12 kinda looks like the coral on the xr
I think I should get the 12 mini rather than the SE or the 12 for my first phone for school because I already have the iPad Air (Third Generation) and MacBook Pro 13’ (M1) so I can always switch to those for watching videos/gaming (which I don’t do). Any thoughts?
The new product red does look more of a pink color. I did have the IPhone 11 product red and it was red! But this year I went with the IPhone 12 mini in black because the new red was to pink for me so I agree with you!
Thanks
Is the 12 mini much more comfortable in the hand than the 12, or only in comparison with the 12 Pro Max? Thanks
What apps does he use at 18:00
Just bought iphone 12 mini today. After about 6 years using iphone 6. Almost same size but much bigger performance
Do you still have it
Great video Max! I'd really appreciate a detailed camera comparison between mini and SE 2020. Keep up the good work.
The se due face mask! I have the older SE still works fine, and I mostly use it for shopping. My iPhone 11 Pro Max is just too big for shopping stopping and put in the code . With that being said , I love the little iPhone for apple wallet sakes. And the pro max for everything else. I would love to get my hands on the mini but I think the price is too high ...Thanks for the review.😊
Never thought I'd leave my original SE (New SE sucks) but I'm thinking about buying the 12 mini. I'll wait and see when and if the price lowers soon.
Do you think that apple will make the new SE with flat sides and MagSafe?
Hello
I didn't find the video with the battery test :(
Lmfao that hand at 11:10 got me
Is there any distortion in the max volume in iphone 12 mini?
Make a camera comparison of these three
iPhone SE for budget, i'm not a gamer on mobile and take few photos only (seems good enough in my use cases)
iPhone 12 mini don’t need be cheaper than iPhone SE2020 and iPhone XR
The mini is by far the best in my opinion . Nice and comfortable in the hand . Each to their own I suppose but i love the mini
I’m typing this on the SE (2020), but the iPhone 12 definitely has my attention!
