Reviewing the iPhone 12 Mini again, six months after launch, to see if it’s still one of the best compact smartphones of 2021. Boasting the same camera tech and performance of the vanilla flagship, the iPhone 12 Mini now comes in purple (whoop) and has been updated to iOS 14.5. It’s far from perfect and far too expensive (standard), but it’s my favourite of Apple’s latest mobile line-up.
Like the Pixel 5, you get a point-and-shoot camera which can make the most of pretty much any situation. Gamers will struggle a little with that compact screen, not helped by the enormous notch, but Genshin Impact and other demanding titles play like a dream. Battery life is fine too (much better than the iPhone SE 2020), as long as you’re not too reckless with camera apps etc.
If you’re an iOS fan then you should get on well with the iPhone 12 Mini, as long as you want a compact phone. This is still among the best miniature options in 2021, but let me know your own verdict below!

Hello, I'm in doubt between the iphone 11 pro and the 12 mini, the prices here in my country are practically the same, I'm not a heavy user, so I think the battery won't be a big problem, what I value the most is the camera, which one will be better?
I am definitely getting this ❤️❤️
Can't afford iPhone, watching so hurtful 😭
iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 11? Having a lot of doubts
Great review. Thanks.
Do iphone 12 mini distort at max volume?
All are saying that 12 mini hast touch issue. When we put back cover and tempered glass it start lagging and touch issue appear
6:32 That is very true, no cap about that
The reviewer is providing his impressions after using it for 1 week. This reviewed comes six months after its release. Clickbait-y title.
“Frankly feels like a kick in the cock”
😂😭
2:19 "with OUR…."… this guy works for Apple /sigh
Did i hear this that iphone has dual sim?
Nice review but you're too much making comparisons with Android. Not useful here. I understand now why you stuffed tour iPhone with Google stuff. You're biased toward Android.
I heard many problems about the battery life and overheating, but it is on sale for like $400 for black friday sale! Do you think it will last me for a long time? (Like 3 years?). If not, then i will go for the pixel 6 ($600). Im not sure if its worth it yet, i dont mind either screen size.
I'm planning on getting this phone in my company. Will be using it mostly for emails and I'm a heavy email user + messenger + zoom and Microsoft teams. Will battery hold up? I'm really considering this because of the small form factor.
I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GET YOUR JOKES FROM, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A NAUGHTY BOY AT SCHOOL
"Feel like a kick in the cock" !?
Going to get my new iPhone 12 mini purple and l will love it
Just view the 60 hertz display as ‘slow gear’ & all of a sudden it feels kinda funky
You don’t like the Parma violet sweets? Clearly your palette isn’t sophisticated enough to enjoy the finer blends of soap flavoured food..
I have it for half a year now…. and yeah already broke the glass… but battery is sublime!
nice music choice….Gojira!!!
Shouldn't you have said Tie-niest rather than T-niest, Sir?
Bought it for 500 dollars (38k rs) today
Hi
How is the battery life?
Is it worth to upgrade from OnePlus 8 pro? Would it feel too uncomfortable bcz of 60hz display and small size factor?
Welp time has come to put ski mask
Hello from my 1st gen iPhone SE
more talk of ios than iPhone mini👎
@Techspurt What would you suggest as an Android equivalent for the same screen size?
Lol
The lack of audio jack is a show stopper
trying to decide if this is the phone for me, I need to wear glasses to read a big phone, so Im thinking that a small phone might be the way to go anymore.
what camera do you use for your videos?
The mini is too fucking smalllllllll. Fuck this phoneeeee. Sorry. Lol. Not worth 700 dollars in my opinion. If you wants a one handed phone just go with something bigger. This phone is just way too small.
doesnt anyone agree that this guy kind of looks like steve jobs?
The 12 mini is smaller than the 8 but have a bigger battery
5.4 screen size it's not a big deal,,,it's good because it's full screen display
I was an iPhone owner before and then went with Samsung s9 for around 3 and half years, now I’m back with iPhone. I got the mini myself and I love it so far! It’s the right size that I’ve been waiting for a long time! I’m tired of cell phones getting as big as a tablet! I never really liked them. So far I’m very impressed with mine.
It’s an official flop. Bad idea. Not many people want a tiny phone.
