    ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
    iPhone 12 Mini:
    Face ID (vs fingerprint button)
    Both are 64GB base
    5G (vs LTE only)
    A14 (vs A13 bionic chip)
    Magsafe
    Ultrawide lens
    More durable display
    Smaller body, bigger display (5.4” display vs 4.7”)
    Better display quality (higher contrast and better resolution)
    IP68 vs IP67
    Front facing camera is 12MP vs 7MP
    5 colors (including blue and green)
    Dolby atmos support
    iPhone SE:
    MUCH cheaper! $399 vs $729
    Slightly longer battery life (about 10%)
    Includes earbuds in the box
    Includes power adapter
    Both have facetime, iMessage, airdrop,etc. (of course)
    Both have wireless charging
    Rear camera is 12MP for both
    Lacking night mode
    Lacking deep fusion
    Lacking memoji and animoji
    Both shoot 4K video
    Both have the same storage options
    Both are 60Hz displays
    CAMERA COMPARISON
    SPEAKER COMPARISONt
    CONCLUSION:
    Short of the cameras and display, you won’t be missing a whole lot with the SE. For almost half the price, it is a great deal, but the design certainly looks archaic and if it were me, I would choose the Mini.

That’s an easy fix though with a ring light or a clip on light to the phone. But during the day , camera quality is damn near perfect! Other than that one minor draw back , the SE was a great buy. Happy with my purchase .☺️

    I have an iPhone 8 plus and have been wanting to downgrade in size. I was in-between the SE and 12 mini but ended up buying the mini. I only upgrade my phone every 3-4 years, so I want my phone to be future proof and be a pleasure to use. I would be making too many compromises with the SE (smaller screensize, losing camera features), whereas on the mini I get almost the same size display as what I'm coming from, a much faster phone, better display, better camera, and probably better battery life than what I have on my 8 plus. I'd rather have a great phone for 4 years then having an average phone for 2 years and then having to upgrade again.

      The screen size isn’t so clear cut. 16:9 content will appear bigger on the older plus size models due to the much wider screen. But, that extra space on the screen of the mini compared to the older small models is nice. Typing will still be on the smaller side.

The SE also supports back tap with iOS 14. The SE is a lot of phone for the $240 new that I paid (Newegg). I like the smaller and lighter size when I have it paired with my Garmin Watch when I bike, walk, hike etc. My big LGs make my pants sag lol.

    question about the screen aspect ratio. the mini has 19.5:9 while the se has a 16:9 screen. most youtube videos are 16:9 so they would actually fill the entire screen of the SE while leaving black bars on the mini. however, I noticed when you played the videos, the mini also has the entire screen filled. is this because the video was zoomed?

    I think people just don’t get what the SE truly is:
    Most updated specs (as possible) with the old iPhone body.
    That is why the 1st gen had the 5s body. And the 2nd gen the 8 body.
    So no, the 12 mini is not “the real SE”.

      The Se is the exact same size as the 6,7,8.
      The mini is a little smaller, but has a bigger screen because of no home button. So if you get the Mini, you’re getting a slightly smaller phone , with a bigger screen. You can find a size comparison on RUclips next to the original se.
