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 big hunk of metal that will wear a hole in my trouser pocket, but I sure am looking forward to all the upgrades and huge increase in battery life.

Anyone else upgrading from the 12 mini? I will probably get the 16 pro, if only for the 120hz screen.

Why not consider the 15 Pro is you want the smallest sized iphone after the Minis.

I have had the 12 mini since day 1 and will be upgrading the battery so I can get (hopefully) a couple more years out of this baby.

I tend to get the latest iteration of any technology, so it lasts the longest. But I will go to the store and try out the 15 pro. thanks!

Yea, I plan to pass mine on to my 7 year old, to use as a camera/video camera.

Same here, my iPhone 12 mini battery is down to 81% and boy it certainly has its time when it's getting slow and clearly the battery is the biggest issue. Although I love the size I am considering to upgrade to the iPhone 16, though I am not sure if it's the 16 or the 16 Pro. I do not actually need the Pro features, however, since I am spending a ton already for the non-Pro I might as well just spend a little more and get the Pro. The 120Hz display is nice, so is the more premium feel of it.

Why not just get a 2nd hand 15 pro - I managed to get one from Mozillion for £740 essentially in mint condition, including a 99% battery and a few months left on the Apple warranty (I don't work for them!)

I will also upgrade from 12 Mini with first battery. My business phone is a standard 13. I have average hands and I think the 13 sucks for one hand operation. But well, we have no real choice. I would have even bought the Pro Max if it had the better main camera sensor.

My people! I will be updating from the 12 mini to pro. 4 years is long enough- had a good run with it but have to move with the times. The 16 would have been fine but for the 5x lens - I do some hiking and would like that to take a few photos.

That’s an option too. I may look into it.
