    iPhone 16 Pro Anyone else upgrading to iPhone 16 Pro from iPhone 12 mini?

    I love the iPhone 12 mini. The form factor is amazing and it still works great to this day... except for one thing --> the battery life. When I work in the office, I'm running out of battery before the day is over. I'm thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 16 or 16 pro. Yes, it's going to be a...

    Do all newer iPhones work on all carriers?

    I'm pretty sure the answer is yes but just to double check, all newer iPhones should work on all carriers, right? For example, I'm looking to get a backup of my iPhone 12 Mini on TMobile, model MG763LL/A. Could I purchase a Verizon model MG6N3LL/A and just swap the SIM cards? In this context...

    Other Battery Optimization - 12 Mini / 13 Mini

    What setting optimization are 12 Mini and 13 Mini owners using? I’m curious about what other Mini users are doing to extend the battery on a single charge. Especially for those who are on 90% Battery Health or lower. I mainly use the two links below, but I have others…

    My last iPhone which I had a long time ago was the first-generation iPhone SE. Since then, I haven't used any iPhones, but I want to change back. I'm planning to purchase one second-hand, in a good condition, but I don't know which one to get. My criteria for which one to get: Size: I was...

    iPhone 12 mini ATT's $1/mo iPhone 12 mini - any hidden costs?

    Hello! I generally don't upgrade phones often (so far it has been iPhone 3, then iPhone SE in 2016), but my SE's battery is dying, and the connection port is not very reliable / having to sit the phone at an angle for charge to happen. Rather than fixing these issues, I am thinking about doing...

    iPhone 12 mini Upgraded from SE 1 to 12 Mini - My Experience

    Hi MR readers, I am just sharing my experience of upgrading my iPhone SE 1 to iPhone 12 Mini. I am using the 12 Mini for around 4 months. I got 12 mini in offer price around ~450$. In my country, 13 Mini sells for ~930$, which is more than double of 12 mini price. This is not worth IMHO. Screen...

    I am seriously considering downsizing to the iPhone 13 mini this year. The reason is because I am using my mobile phone less for video content and lengthy web browsing. Instead it is being used for calls/texts/WhatsApp and the occasional quick email. My current phone is a brick-sized Samsung...

    So I picked up the iphone 12 Mini at launch last year and I love it, but I've noticed that my battery health is degrading surprisingly fast. Before this I was hanging onto an iphone 6 that I had been using for 6 years and the battery health on that phone is at 98%. My only thought on why this...

    Anyone else on the beta experiencing charging so slow from the MagSafe battery pack that the phone uses more battery than the bank provides? Is this just an iOS 15 issue since it is not fully compatible yet?

    iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 mini battery life: is this normal?

    I got my iPhone 12 mini back in November, and in general after using it for a few months have been very happy with the smaller form factor. Of course, I knew beforehand that battery life would be inferior compared to the other iPhone 12 models, but figured that -- as a very light user (and...

    iPhone 12 mini battery drain

    Hi, I just got an iPhone 12 mini 4 days ago. Is this battery drain overnight normal? Looks excessive to me. I'm on the latest iOS version (14.6) and transferred my data directly from my previous iPhone. So, I don't think it's indexing? Thank you!

    It sucks. Even on the latest iOS, I can't even get half a day out of it. Sure, I could disable all of the things that make iOS and iPhone so great and ink out an extra 1-2 hours. That sure is Apple's solution! Is anyone else having this issue? What are your plans come fall? Will you get the...
