First iPhone since the 4S so it took a bit of getting use to after so many years. Like another reviewer mentioned the newer phones are getting bigger but I want a smaller phone and this fits the bill. Still getting used to the iPhone way of thinking but loving it so far.

Apple released four new iPhone 12 models in a total of three different sizes. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro both have a screen size of 6.1-inches, while the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max comes in at 6.7-inches; the largest for any iPhone model to date.

Strong performance; Photo quality is fantastic; OLED display; Small design

Battery life might be an issue for some; 5G support isn't widely available to benefit everyone

Apple's iPhone 12 mini delivers the best price-to-power ratio of any 2020 iPhone, bringing top-of-the-line features to a phone that easily fits into smaller hands.

Perfect hand-friendly form factor; Excellent performance; Better battery life than other small iPhones

Shorter battery life than larger iPhones

The iPhone 12 mini has no right being the cheapest model in Apple’s iPhone 12 family. Sure, on paper you’re spending the smallest amount on the smallest display, but – like the most engaging gadgets – the spec comparisons simply don’t capture the true charm.

Small size without power compromise; Same great cameras as on the iPhone 12; 5G supports fastest mmWave - if you can find it

Battery life could be better; No 120Hz display

Small phone fans rejoice! The iPhone 12 mini is a pocket rocket with almost everything from the regular flagship inside a beautifully compact chassis.

Stunning compact design; Gorgeous OLED screen; All core specs from regular 12

Limited battery life; Limited to 60Hz; Slower MagSafe charging

The Apple iPhone 12 Mini was, for me, a real throwback to the days of compact smartphones before we called them compact, and for many people in and around my generation whose first smartphones were the iPhone 3, 4, and 5, the size of the new 12 Mini will be enough of a draw on its own.

Compact size; A14 Bionic performance; Pleasing camera performance; The most customisable Apple software ever

Battery life is the compact compromise; Only 12W wireless charging; Entry-level 64GB model is not enough storage in 2020

The iPhone 12 Mini is one of the best compact smartphones you can buy, and it has fantastic performance and cameras to boot....

Great design Compact size Super-fast performance Incredible ecosystem Quick to charge; even at 18W

No telephoto lens iOS is limiting No power adapter in the box Hard to wirelessly charge Sub-par battery life

The iPhone 12 mini is the closest you can get to the good old iPhone 5s. And it's good!

Tiny; cute; pocketable; comfortable; Same great display as all iPhone 12 series; Same great camera as iPhone 12; MagSafe is cool and has potential; Fast performance; lots of headroom

The camera module looks a bit goofy on a mini phone; No charger; no headphones in the box; Battery can drain fast; 64 GB starting storage is OK; but feels a bit stingy; 60 Hz refresh rate

The iPhone 12 mini is built for those who have been dreaming of a small phone but don’t want to compromise on quality, and Apple has done an exceedingly good job at making that a reality. It isn’t perfect, with middling battery life and a high price for just 64GB of storage, but if you can put those negatives aside you’ll love what the iPhone 12 mini can do in its miniature package. The camera is versatile, the screen is fantastic, it comes with reams of power and the added benefits of 5G and MagSafe mean this is a phone that will last you for years to come.

Smaller design looks great; Fantastic display; Futureproofed with 5G;

64GB isn’t enough for some; Wireless charging is slower; Middling battery life

If you’re looking for an iPhone 12 and think picking up the mini version will save you £100/$100, then I think you’re looking at it wrong. You shouldn’t buy this iPhone because it’s cheaper, you should buy it if you’ve been hankering for a smaller phone and are happy with the sacrifices that come with it. For most people, I still think the regular iPhone 12 is the best buy.

Great to see phones this size make a return; No feature sacrifices for the smaller display; Great camera with excellent video; Lovely new design;

Battery life is notably worse than other iPhone 12 models; Notch seems more irritating on the smaller screen; You'll want to buy a charger separately;
