Apple’s iPhone 12 mini features expansive edge-to-edge Super Retina XDR displays for a brighter, more immersive viewing experience, and a new Ceramic Shield front cover, providing the biggest jump in durability ever on iPhone. The Apple-designed A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, powers every experience on iPhone 12 mini, and coupled with an advanced dual-camera system, delivers meaningful new computational photography features and the highest quality video in a smartphone. iPhone 12 mini also features MagSafe, offering high-powered wireless charging and an all-new ecosystem of accessories that easily attach to iPhone.
In 2020, phones are big. Even the small ones are big. The iPhone 12 Mini is wonderful because it’s not big. It’s truly small. When Apple announced the Mini along with the iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max it was a remarkable moment for small phone lovers like myself. For a long time, we’ve wanted Apple to make a truly small iPhone in the vein of the iPhone 5, 5S or original SE.
Overall, the small physical size, the swipe-friendly navigation in iOS 14 and high screen-to-body ratio make this compact phone nearly perfect… for me. But it might not be for you. That small screen is great for one-handed use, but you might not find it great for reading, or viewing documents. There will be many people who find the keys on the onscreen keyboard too tiny. And that’s why there’s the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Still, Apple nailed the iPhone 12 Mini. It’s a one-handed phone user’s dream. And it’s good to see Apple go so big on a phone so small.
MacDailyNews Take: The iPhone 12 mini is a niche device, but it’s great that Apple offers it for those who want a powerful yet compact iPhone!
I do not understand how stupid people managed with the original iPhones of 2007-2012 when phone’s original, 3g, 4 & 5 were the norm in terms of size. It is only with iPhone 6 that Apple went bigger size. No one complained about the size of the pre iPhone6. When competitors offered big phones, they were labelled as Phablets. Now small iPhone are not immersive enough, get the bigger one. Small iPhones don’t have good battery life, get the bigger iPhone. Well, I will tell you what is not immersive experience on any phone, it is cracked screens, and I see a lot. These bigger and uncomfortable to hold phones means more dropping and having a cracked screen as a result. As I say these stupid people managed okay with the smaller iPhones when they were the norm, yet they complain about them now. Hypocrites
How many “one-handed” phone users are there, exactly?
