I have the Mini since launch day and I absolutely love it. I’d be pissed if Apple discontinued the Mini series at any time in the future. I always hated huge smartphones
Hey man, I’m a mini user here. Everything was great until the other day I was trying to shoot a video of candles on a birthday cake in complete dark. And i got this completely annoying reflection from the candles. But then I switched to wide angle lens and it was okay. Does it happen to yours too?
I have the iPhone 12 mini (came from the iPhone 7), and it is the PERFECT phone for me! I didn’t need or even want a big phone so the iPhone 12 mini with it’s inexpensive price and small size was a no-brainer for me!
The iPhone 12 mini is definitely my dream phone! I really hope that one day I'll be able to get it, because that form factor is the best of the iPhone lineup! Great video like always, hope you're doing well!
@@saikoro8620 It's okay. It really depends on your screen time and use. I always enable battery saving mode, turn on dark mode and set my brightness to low.
@@naeg2001 so I have ended my day having to charge the mini around 8pm I get up around 5am so it’s not bad at all honestly. Some days I go harder on watching videos so I could imagine those days I’ll have to charge earlier for the mini. The max I can go to bed with like 30 percent left on real heavy screen time days so there is a big difference in battery. Really depends how heavy of a user you are.
The only phone that made me switch back to apple since iphone 4s! Amazing device, love what apple is doing lately, keep it up and please don't stop making mini phones
I think I agree with you on being my favorite iPhone as well. I love the size and the fact that the screen is less than an inch smaller than the standard iPhone screen. My biggest concern was about the battery capacity. All the reviews were talking about how you might not get a whole day out of it. For me, as long as I can go the whole day I don’t mind charging every night. My real world usage actually goes about as long as an Apple Watch 5 with always-on display (about a day and a half to sometimes even 2 days.) One reason why I can get that is that when I’m home I grab my iPad Air 4 for nearly everything, so, I rarely use my phone enough to kill the battery. My thoughts on the sales being so low is that it’s most likely due to the staggered release schedule. I think that if they’d released all four 12 models at the same time then the Mini would have sold better overall. I do believe there is a bigger market for smaller phones than people are assuming. If they put out a 13 Mini then I think we’ll see it get the better sales.
Because of you, I upgraded from the SE 2020 to the iPhone 12 mini. Hahaha. Still happy with my SE 2020, though. But the screen size of this is just an awesome upgrade!
been so hyped since the mini was first announced and after watching a ton of your vids for reassurance i finally bought it a month ago!! Love the size so much! came from the 6s lol
Coming from huge Samsung phones, I’ve fallen in love with iPhone 12 mini since they announced it. Now I’ve been using it for a week, and it’s put a smile to my face every time I pick up my phone
It’s been 1 week that I’m using the mini and absolutely fell in love ❤️ Ialso adore the small phones and it’s so much easier for a medium/ light user like me. Every time that I’ve the tiniest regret about buying a mini(just because of the battery life really) instead of the regular 12 I just watch your iPhone 12 mini worship videos-yeah , worship there I said it- I felt amazing man. Thank you 🙏 For those who think about buying one, just don’t mind the battery thing because this device charges like crazy fast. I cannot believe me eyes when I first charged it but it’s the real deal guys
Agree with every word you say about this phone. Just switched from my XS Max and it's like night and day. It fits so perfectly in hand (ideal size as you said) and another great feature it's sooo light compared to all those bigger phones. Can't see myself going back to bigger phone ever again. Thanks for this great review Mr Everyday Dad.
I've always felt like the mini is TOO small, but after watching this video and thinking about some of the points you bring up I've actually started to feel like this is the way to go, this channel is quickly becoming my favorite tech channel !
Update: I’ve actually decided to buy the mini, I’ve been using it for about a month (I bought it a few days after the main comment) and I completely love it, it’s refreshing to have a phone I can use without hand gymnastics and the screen feels natural after a couple days of use it looked like a big phone, obviously if you have someone with the bigger iPhones you notice the difference, but never while using it, it’s more than enough for me, and I couldn’t be happier!
Picked up the 12 mini on a promo Verizon had last December- my iPhone 7 and $5 / month for 24 months. One of the best purchases I have made. Really dislike big phones and the mini is perfect size.
I tried this phone in an Apple Store the other day and fell in love with it! It was so compact and easy to hold and use single-handedly! When was the last I could use a phone like that?! And also, the display quality is absolutely amazing! It has more pixel density than the 11 pro max! And also, it is so lightweight! IT just adds to make it more easier to use! I hope I can get and iPhone 12 mini someday...
I went from an Xs to a 12 Mini, mainly because since swapping to the Xs from my iPhone 8, I've always felt the Xs was a tiny bit too big for my pockets. I think I must have gotten used to the size of the Xs, as the 12 Mini still feels quite small in the hand (that's not really a criticism, more of an observation), but what I love the most is how it feels in my pockets, almost imperceptible! It also fits in my shirt top pockets easily, which is something which always felt a bit cumbersome with the Xs. I'm also very impressed with the screen, it looks fantastic and incredibly detailed. The battery life isn't too terrible from my experience. It seems roughly the same as my Xs, which to be fair wasn't amazing either, but, I'm never far from a charger these days so it's been a non-issue thus far. I gave my Xs to my Mum, so it's now having a much easier life!
Damn, man! Stop it, please! I bought iPhone 11 just a year ago, it’s to early to get new one. But I REALLY want 12 mini. Awesome video as always. Thanks.
Iphone 12 mini is the first iPhone I have ever got. I was always against APPLE, now I'm in love with it. Here are the advantages of iPhone 12 mini: 1. size 2. battery - I don't use it much so I charge it every 2-3 days 3. camera - outstanding! It's better than my friend's iPhone 13 mini, which was quite surprising. 4. after using it for 7 months the battery capacity is still 100% and the phone itself has NO SCRATCHES AT ALL 5. music - marvellous! You don't need to use EQ so much or any other enhancements. 6. Thinks for you ;)
The iPhone 12 mini is the phone that I look forward to buying! Because the current phone I use is SE s1. It’s so complete to use with hand size and it’s still working good just a bit slow and lags by the version update. Soon going to buy 12 mini to change it.
I was due a upgrade and got the iPhone 12 mini for 300 two year contract 35 avmonth unlimited data i am very happy with the purchase of this phone it was worth every penny
Having not looked at the specs I was curious if I could really deal with a smaller size, but as it turns out since I'm still rocking an 8 Plus, the screen is only 0.1" smaller. I think I'll be fine with it.
Hey, I got the 12 mini 2 months ago, replaced my 6.2 inch android with it, and I had NO PROBLEMS AT ALL with the screen size:D I actually prefer it! So if you can, go for it:D
People always criticize the Mini saying it'll have awful battery life...but people who want a smaller phone are used to smaller batteries (and older phones with degrading batteries) and my Mini blows my 8 out of the water. I go to bed with like, 40% left. What the hell do people do that they need such insane battery life?!
It's a great iPhone, I agree with you, I really like the compactness of this model. Why everybody needs the huge phones? For iPhone 12 Pro Max you need to have extra bag, it's not pocket phone anymore 😂.. I wish apple keeps producing this ,,small" iPhones and give it some cool features of the PRO models. Can't wait for iPhone 13, really have big expectations for 2021. Don't disappoint me Apple! Be like Gary he never disappoints with his content 👍🏻👨💻
If Apple had released the mini a year earlier, I would’ve snapped it up. But I got the SE last summer instead. I really really really hope they keep the mini alive long enough for me to upgrade again!
I bought a 12 mini right after they came out, and I freaking love it. I had been holding on to my iPhone 7 because I did not want to something massive like my wife's iPhone 11
Same here Buddy! I’ve been holding on to iPhone 7 and my wife has iPhone 11 and I’m saving up to buy iPhone 12 mini! But the only thing that’s worrying me is the small Battery!
Coming from iphone 6s plus (or is it just 6 plus?) But I'm gonna get the iPhone 12 mini sometime this or next week. I love the small size and have been binging reviews before buying it to see if I really want it and it really seems like q great phone for people like me who love the mobility with the functionality and practicality I hope Apple continues the mini phone lineup!
You convinced me to buy the 12 mini. Thanks dad :) Good bye iPhone 5SE, hello 12. Yes, I held onto to that model because I hated the huge new models lol
Just traded in my 12 Pro Max for a mini today and it was a moment of actual euphoria. My hand doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t take up my whole purse. It doesn’t draw me in like a tiny movie theatre. I’m in love with the mini! It’s perfect. My husband went after I got mine today and traded his 8+ for a mini. Do you know what it took for him to get rid of the button? A lot.
Absolutely love my iPhone 12 Mini!!! Been waiting for this phone for years. Battery life is the only thing I’ve noticed that isn’t the best, but certainly tolerable.
I was an apple home button hold out and refused to go past the I8...and now I went and bought the 12mini. My wife moved from Samsung to apple for the first time. Albeit the only apple products we intend to own as I build my own PCs, we love these phones.
Thank you for your video on the iPhone 12 mini. I purchased my 5S when the 8s were out and it is the phone I am using now. I hate buying electronic stuff (I still have a landline in my house), but knew it was probably time to upgrade from my current iPhone 5S. Searching for reviews, etc., I found you and appreciate ALL your thorough videos. I'm going with the 12 mini.
I went from a 6S Plus to a 12 mini. I wanted a 6S Plus for so long, and I was so happy when I got it, but I quickly got tired of the huge size. I could never fit my phone in my pocket, or if my hands were full I could never text with one hand. I have very small hands so even just holding the phone was a struggle! When Apple announced the iPhone mini I was so excited, it's exactly what I wanted. I got the blue 12 mini in August 2021 and I still love it so much! The only downside now is the battery, but I was lucky enough to get a MagSafe battery for Christmas so if I'm ever too low I can slap it on the back and the problem is solved. I'm usually a very light phone user though so I don't have that problem much :)
I love smaller phones. I jump from 4S to 6S. To SE2020. Because of size and Touch ID because I use helmets or glasses for motorcycling, cycling,etc. And I don’t like Face ID. Also I like the size for onehanded use and forget that it’s in my pocket.
Switched fromXS Max and not looking back. As someone under 2 hrs/day useable battery is not an issue. Combined with the MagSafe wallet the pocket space saved is absolutely stunning.
Incredibly thankful for the iPhone 12 mini! Crazy world we live in where people are desensitized to holding and sticking large tablet phone in their pockets. This phone is so comfortable in so many ways.
I would like but my wallet says no But it say yes with the SE 🤔 Even if the mini is really interesting it’s sure is expensive If I have enough money (and an Apple Watch for the AW unlock for bypass FaceID when I have a mask) well I will take it
I keep dropping my phone on my pocket. Im so glad that i got it back since all of my personal information are in there. I’m getting a mini. Very convenient and light. No need for a bigger screen when you own an ipad.
Legit feels like the modern successor to the iPhone 5s, it’s like living in an alternate reality where iPhone 6 never happened and Apple stubbornly pushed on with the small packages
No, it is not, it has antenagate problem same as iphone 4, get to places with bad coverage, you will see. But maybe, they will give you bumper for free :)
I bought the iPhone 12 mini and received it on launch day! I’ve enjoyed it ever since I thought that I’d have a hard time with the phone because I haven’t owned a small phone in almost 10 years. I came from the iPhone 11 and it was a great change over. I’ve had great battery life with this phone and it gets me though the day. People complain about battery life but it last up there with the iPhone 11 that I had and that phone had a 1000 mah battery that was bigger. I have easily gotten 8 hours most of the time from this phone. I don’t use 5G much because it doesn’t really matter at this point it’s too early. I didn’t think I’d like it but after the first couple of days i was hooked, it’s pocket friendly and it’s almost like I don’t have a phone in my pocket and believe me when I say I have had to check twice to make sure I still had it in my pocket! Over all I think this phone has gotten a bad rap because it’s too small for people because most people want massive phones to watch and stream on but apple knew that there was a small amount of people out there that wanted this phone I really hope they bring out a iPhone 13 mini this coming year!
In the last few months, I’ve had an epiphany. I NEED this phone and since I am trading in my xs, it will cost me 6.24 a month for the 256 mini. I’ve always loved the 4/4s and this is the closest we’ve gotten back to that with almost all of the tech! Mad excited.
Hey man, I’m a mini user here. Everything was great until the other day I was trying to shoot a video of candles on a birthday cake in complete dark. And i got this completely annoying reflection from the candles. But then I switched to wide angle lens and it was okay. Does it happen to you too? Or should i return the phone?
Bought it and love it! As a small woman who additionally likes to stick the phone in my pocket, I delayed upgrading my 6s way too long in hopes that Apple would once again produce a not huge phone. The 12 mini works for me!

Watching from my 12 Mini 128GB Blue. Somehow I'm tempted to have both Mini and Pro Max in my hand 😂
Absolutely love my iPhone 12 Mini!!! Been waiting for this phone for years. Battery life is the only thing I’ve noticed that isn’t the best, but certainly tolerable.
been using it for 3+ months and i love it its so tiny and you cant even feel its presence in your pocket
just got my mini today. loving the nostalgia.
This iPhone is litteraly my dream. Right now i have a cracked redmi note 10 but its too huge and my dad says no everytime like why 😭
I just ordered mine today, and it will be here tomorrow. I am so excited since I have small hands!
I was an apple home button hold out and refused to go past the I8...and now I went and bought the 12mini. My wife moved from Samsung to apple for the first time. Albeit the only apple products we intend to own as I build my own PCs, we love these phones.
After rocking the SE for a year I traded in for the 12 Mini purple. I LOVE this phone. This is where it’s at.
Thank you for your video on the iPhone 12 mini. I purchased my 5S when the 8s were out and it is the phone I am using now. I hate buying electronic stuff (I still have a landline in my house), but knew it was probably time to upgrade from my current iPhone 5S. Searching for reviews, etc., I found you and appreciate ALL your thorough videos. I'm going with the 12 mini.
I went from a 6S Plus to a 12 mini. I wanted a 6S Plus for so long, and I was so happy when I got it, but I quickly got tired of the huge size. I could never fit my phone in my pocket, or if my hands were full I could never text with one hand. I have very small hands so even just holding the phone was a struggle! When Apple announced the iPhone mini I was so excited, it's exactly what I wanted. I got the blue 12 mini in August 2021 and I still love it so much! The only downside now is the battery, but I was lucky enough to get a MagSafe battery for Christmas so if I'm ever too low I can slap it on the back and the problem is solved. I'm usually a very light phone user though so I don't have that problem much :)
I love smaller phones. I jump from 4S to 6S. To SE2020. Because of size and Touch ID because I use helmets or glasses for motorcycling, cycling,etc. And I don’t like Face ID.
Also I like the size for onehanded use and forget that it’s in my pocket.
Switched fromXS Max and not looking back. As someone under 2 hrs/day useable battery is not an issue. Combined with the MagSafe wallet the pocket space saved is absolutely stunning.
Incredibly thankful for the iPhone 12 mini! Crazy world we live in where people are desensitized to holding and sticking large tablet phone in their pockets. This phone is so comfortable in so many ways.
Bought one and it’s the best smartphone phone I ever had. (Had 3Gs, 4s, 5c, 6s and 8 before)
That's literally the sense of an upgrade, u wasn't using a 11 pro or a s21 ahahahaha, that's better than an iPhone 8, I'm so shocked ahahahah
I'm planning on ditching my launch iPhone 7 Plus soon to get the 12 mini! I can't wait!
Best iPhone till date. Ignore biased websites and mainstream reviewers who don’t know anything about tech.
I would like but my wallet says no
But it say yes with the SE 🤔
Even if the mini is really interesting it’s sure is expensive
If I have enough money (and an Apple Watch for the AW unlock for bypass FaceID when I have a mask) well I will take it
I’ve had mine for about 4 months and its my favorite phone of all time too. It’s form factor is perfect for me!
Looking to buy one of these as i have the 5s at the moment. Was very helpful, great review, thanks.
Can’t wait to get my iPhone 12 mini in white!!
Any thermal issue along with the weight always hit my mind upon purchase. The equal CPU for each series is still a huge benefit for users.
I keep dropping my phone on my pocket. Im so glad that i got it back since all of my personal information are in there. I’m getting a mini. Very convenient and light. No need for a bigger screen when you own an ipad.
I'd go out to buy it if you give me the money to. 💁🏾♀️

@@zyzzuschrist3410 she probably does
@@zyzzuschrist3410 it’s a joke dummy😐
can u make a video about using an iPhone to power a desktop setup please?
v curious about the setup exemplified around the 13 min mark
I just got one and scored a hell of a deal! Traded in my XR for $415 credit and got mine for like $300! Worth every penny!
Gary should give me money and here's why:
Because he is the "EVERYDAY DAD"
Thanks Gary! I totally agree, I’m definitely on team 12 mini!!! I decided to get the phone because of your reviews!
Legit feels like the modern successor to the iPhone 5s, it’s like living in an alternate reality where iPhone 6 never happened and Apple stubbornly pushed on with the small packages
Have you ever tried a flipbelt so you don't have to carry anything while running?
I skipped the X, XS and 11 gens because of the ergonomics. 12 mini is the first iPhone in years that's decent.
No, it is not, it has antenagate problem same as iphone 4, get to places with bad coverage, you will see. But maybe, they will give you bumper for free :)
Yes, I don’t like it when technology is intrusive. Getting it😎
Where can I get the wallpaper from the thumbnail? 👀👀
I bought the iPhone 12 mini and received it on launch day! I’ve enjoyed it ever since I thought that I’d have a hard time with the phone because I haven’t owned a small phone in almost 10 years. I came from the iPhone 11 and it was a great change over. I’ve had great battery life with this phone and it gets me though the day. People complain about battery life but it last up there with the iPhone 11 that I had and that phone had a 1000 mah battery that was bigger. I have easily gotten 8 hours most of the time from this phone. I don’t use 5G much because it doesn’t really matter at this point it’s too early. I didn’t think I’d like it but after the first couple of days i was hooked, it’s pocket friendly and it’s almost like I don’t have a phone in my pocket and believe me when I say I have had to check twice to make sure I still had it in my pocket! Over all I think this phone has gotten a bad rap because it’s too small for people because most people want massive phones to watch and stream on but apple knew that there was a small amount of people out there that wanted this phone I really hope they bring out a iPhone 13 mini this coming year!
Just got mine ( purple 💜) and love it. Wish you it had the telephoto camera lens. 🙁
I sold my iPhone 12 for an iPhone 12 mini few months back and I am so glad I did.
In the last few months, I’ve had an epiphany. I NEED this phone and since I am trading in my xs, it will cost me 6.24 a month for the 256 mini.
I’ve always loved the 4/4s and this is the closest we’ve gotten back to that with almost all of the tech!
Mad excited.
Same!! Best phone i'm so happy!!
This is my dream phone. Hoping to buy this before this year ends🥺
Hey man, I’m a mini user here. Everything was great until the other day I was trying to shoot a video of candles on a birthday cake in complete dark. And i got this completely annoying reflection from the candles. But then I switched to wide angle lens and it was okay. Does it happen to you too? Or should i return the phone?
Bought it and love it! As a small woman who additionally likes to stick the phone in my pocket, I delayed upgrading my 6s way too long in hopes that Apple would once again produce a not huge phone. The 12 mini works for me!
Pls bro can u tell me what s the name of the application u showed on the phone for video editing thank i
Definitely gonna pick one up for myself
