I reviewed the iPhone 12 Mini. Here's what I think - including the positives, the drawbacks, and my overall experience.

Yes, the iPhone 12 Mini is small, but it still has a large screen. Also, due to the improved design and compact size, the iPhone has become the most durable phone on the market. Furthermore, the iPhone 12 Mini is the fastest and smallest phone to have 5G. Phones should be small and portable; if I wanted to have something bigger, I would get a tablet instead. Therefore, the size of the new iPhone 12 Mini might be a downside for some.

It might be a life-changer for others.

I got used to the design of older iPhones, and thus, I miss the home button. However, over time, you get used to it, and I rather have a bigger screen than have it anyways. Talking about size, I feel that they could have made it smaller. Yet, if they did, then the phone wouldn't have 5G, which has been very helpful for me. The speakers are mediocre, and the camera could be better, especially since it leaves such a large bump on the back of the phone. Still, I think the only downside of the iPhone 12 Mini is that the battery isn't as good as the larger iPhones. I, of course, knew that this would be the case, but the iPhone 12 Mini doesn't even last the whole day. Hence, it doesn't have a home button, and it's still not small enough, but it is not a deal-breaker. Nevertheless, hopefully, they will improve the battery in the upcoming iPhone 13 Mini.

Overall, I have to say I have been impressed by the iPhone 12 Mini.

It is certainly better than my first-generation iPhone SE. Also, it's almost the same as the regular iPhone 12 but with a smaller battery. I would recommend that you transition to the iPhone 12 Mini, especially if you like smaller phones.
