Other Who else is buying iPhone 12 Mini?

[MacRazySwe]

The Mini looks amazing. I’m 90 % sure this is the one I’ll go for.

The only thing holding me back, is the new dimensions of the regular 12. It’s nearly, nearly the same size as my iPhone X and even weighs less. It’s more than 30g lighter than the 11...

So it’s 12 Mini vs 12 for me, in black or blue.

Dumb random question: say I buy a Mini outright and activate it with AT&T (for a sweet $30 savings 🙄), can I then turn around and get it unlocked right away for other providers, or is there some kind of probationary period involved? (Asking for a friend.)

I’m getting the mini in (PRODUCT)RED. So stoked!!

 

[carrrrrlos]

Looking forward to this one.

I'll buy it unlocked, but the moment Apple releases one with Touch ID, it's going on Swappa.

It’s a nice option for those that want a tiny phone but as someone who’s used the Max range since the iPhone 6 it’s not something I would consider for myself.

I don't know about "tiny"...the 12 mini is still a bit too large for me. My original SE is the perfect size.

I will upgrade from XS 256GB to Mini 64GB. With 5G it's even easier to rely on iCloud. The weight is my primary concern, XS was way too heavy.

I kept going back and forth between the 12 and mini so I made a quick mock-up. For reference I wear a women’s XS small glove. Happy to say the mini is perfect for one handed typing!

Im gonna hold off buying any new Apple products (including apps) for a while. One big reason not to move away from Apple is the investment in apps. But Apple is already doing its best to make it so hard for developers to keep up, already a bunch of my favorite apps are not supported, no longer available or dont work anymore. Less and less reason to stay with Apple.

it pains me to say i waited and waited for this, but for me it was a generation too late. i picked up an iPhone 11 Pro last year after having an OG SE for years. i love the form factor of the new mini and cant wait to see one in person, but now at this point there's no reason to get rid of my 11 Pro

Will be buying a 128 GB black Mini. Upgrading from a well-worn launch day 7 with the back camera cracked. So excited, it seems like the perfect size. Going to be cool to experience my first “full screen” iPhone.

Just bought a 20W PD charging brick and a 20W PD portable charger, excited for fast charging as well.

I hope they have a lot of Blue ones in stock... i feel like most people will go for that one.

 

[Musocat]

I have an 2016 SE (the iphone 5 shaped one) and the 12 mini is instabuy.

Convenient to keep in a pocket. Miserable to look at with eyeballs older than 13 years old.

I was so eager to buy the 12 Mini. But you remind me that I'm not 13 anymore. Maybe I should buy the regular iPhone 12 :-( Just sucks that the regular 11 was $699 while the regular 12 is $799

Mini is the lightest iPhone they’ve made since the 6 IIRC

 

[Teledatageek]

Pretty sure it’s a mini for me from my 11 Pro. I wonder how noticeable the reduced brightness will be outside. Looks like 625 nits vs 800 nits on the 11 Pro. Might be my only concern....

 

[Dhonk]

I’m in! Been wanting this since it was the rumored XE

 

[Didibat]

More than 3 years wishing an "small iphone". At last! Blue one is pretty but white is white. My only concern is on the cameras; I'll miss a tele-lens dedicated for portraits, I think.

 

[aleni]

It looks so tiny!View attachment 965991

It's probably shaq's hand lol.

 

[ds2000]

Debating the mini vs the 12 pro. Really 50/50 on it. I need to compare camera lenses I think and made a decision from there.

 

[Expos of 1969]

Whatever happened to those folks on here who for months were stating with great conviction that Apple would NEVER make a smallish phone again? There is no market for it and blah blah blah. Bunch of dolts who thought they were business and marketing know it alls.

 

[Simos.805]

Not me, I’m buying iPhone 12 Pro, but my girlfriend which has very small hands and she likes small phones she wants it! Now she has an iPhone 8.

 

[FlyingTexan]

Btw the camera has a 2x optical zoom so you’re not really losing much vs the 11pro

 

[zinterz]

I'm waiting to see what it's like in the hand, but I'm almost definitely set on the 12 mini 256GB in blue. Also need to factor in AppleCare+, a case (likely a third party sleeve), a USB-C UK power adapter, potentially a MagSafe charger as well. Quite an expensive upgrade overall but I am currently on a 7 Plus.

Odd question - would using my MacBook Pro charger be a problem with the bundled USB-C to lightning cable? I'm assuming the phone would just throttle the power it takes from the charger due to its higher wattage?

I currently have 11 pro max, but I think about switching to 12 mini. I don’t know why but idea of compact phone makes me feel excited.
