The smallest of the iPhone 12 range, but the mini is a fantastic little device that shouldn't be underestimated. Its lightweight and compact design, stunning display, great cameras, and smooth performance are all big plusses.

Lovely compact design; Beautiful display; Great cameras; Fluid performance; 5G connectivity; MagSafe charging (optional)

Battery life not amazing; No telephoto lens; Design catches fingerprints easily; No wall plug in the box

Apple iPhone 12 mini: The perfect phone for those who prefer a smaller phone: wonderfully compact and a superb all-rounder

Compact and pocket-friendly; More powerful than most flagship Android handsets; Ceramic shield glass keeps scratches at bay

Short battery life; Still quite expensive

In my books, the iPhone 12 mini is solving a specific problem, that of size. This is the best, and maybe only, phone for those who want a compact phone that fits in their hand, slips into a jeans pocket or small clutch purse and does not burst out of their shirt pocket.

A mini marvel with all the performance high-hats as its larger sibling

Great camera; Compact size; OLED screen; 5G

Battery life; 64GB is a bit measly for some

The iPhone 12 Mini delivers a hugely satisfying iOS experience in a tiny package

Excellent OLED picture; Entertaining sound; iOS as slick as ever

Battery life not outstanding; No charger supplied

It does all i want it to do

I like all features, especially the size , fits in pocket easily.

Brilliant phone

Bought this as an upgrade as my old iPhone 6s was getting really slow and the battery life not very great. Now very happy as this phone does everything I need it to do like my old phone except it’s now a lot quicker, the battery life lasts all day and the camera and speakers are much better quality.

Extremely happy so far. I miss the size of my iPhone SE gen 1. This is bigger than that, sadly, but it’s slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 or SE gen 2 and is just about small enough to use one-handed for most things. Certainly it’s the smallest new phone we’re likely to get from now on.
