Thanks for these comparisons. I’ve yet to open my silicone 12 mini case until my phone arrives tomorrow, and the box makes it look larger than I expected.

Your pics are a reminder of the one negative about Apple leather cases: it’s too hard to toss them when they‘re no longer in service.

I cannot decide between the 128GB and 256GB. Not sure what most people selected. Thanks!
I normally go for 64GB and I'm using 42GB after deleting stuff. This time I went for 128GB for the extra £50 so I could use it freely when I don't have a data connection (like when traveling etc). It is £100 extra from 128 to 256, so if your usage justifies it then go for it.
 
? What's the least popular color? I'm really curious. What's the bestselling color on the 12/ min? What's the bestseller color on the 12pro/ pro max? I heard from a phone sales rep that the blues are the best selling colors, but don't know if that's true.
I think from all the reply and someone did a survey on here and on Reddit and I think it was green and red. Which is what I got for my wife and myself.

I’m going with 128GB, which I think is the sweet spot in terms of pricing, unless you are certain you will need more storage.

Same. If you stream music and use a cloud-based photos service, there's little need for more than 128.
 
I just got my case for the mini coming tomorrow. I think I'm really going to like the size of the mini compared to my XR. I'd like the Apple leather but that price is steep!

My Mini arrived Friday. I was looking for a Qi charging stand. What are people getting for their Minis? I'm not sure I want to go with MagSafe and 20W Apple Power Adapter (US$58), too expensive.

Is the main point of MagSafe a faster charge? I don't think I personally would buy MagSafe since I already have a Qi cradle. The mini should charge fairly quick with just standard Qi I think.

I had the same dilemma. I originally ordered the 128 and then canceled and got the 256 because I just didn’t want to have to think about it. I wasn’t going to let 100 bucks in between me and peace of mind. I am also coming from a 11 pro with 256 GB with 80gb of usage.
 
For those who have the Apple leather case for the mini, how does it feel compared to previous years? I watched a YouTube video where the reviewer said it felt plasticky and actually preferred the silicone case.

I went with the base 64GB because I have 64GB in my 2016 SE and and only using 28GB of space and most of that is podcasts that come and go. I couldn't justify spending money on storage I won't use, I'll spend that money on accessories.

If I want to fast charge I'll use the USB-C to lightning cable into a power adapter. This will always be faster than MagSafe. The Qi charger is for over night while I'm sleeping so it doesn't have to be fast. My only concern is getting a Qi charger where the magnetic coils line up since the Mini body is so much smaller. This is not an issue with a Qi pad but it might be with a Qi stand.
