Apple iPhone 12 mini (64GB) - Blue

Product Information

That still means the iPhone 12 mini will make it from the morning of day one until the evening of day two, spending two hours on 5G in that time, watching an hour of video, shooting 10 photos and playing five hours of Spotify via Bluetooth headphones. Shooting video or playing a graphically intensive game will significantly reduce that time. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are splash-, water-, and dust-resistant, were tested under controlled laboratory conditions, and have a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance may decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage is not covered under warranty. Apple Watch and Apple Pencil devices that require replacement parts are not included in the Apple Certified Refurbished Program. After researching this online for a bit I think the mobile provider also has some influence over how strong your signal is. I have noticed some providers are abruptly only giving the best experience if you are on a monthly plan, I am on a yearly recharge maybe that has something to do with it..

Claim is based on iPhone 12 Ceramic Shield front cover compared with the previous-generation iPhone. The display also supports the HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG HDR standards, with peak brightness of a claimed 1,200cd/m2. This matters less than it does on the larger screened iPhones, simply because you’ll probably won’t want to watch TV shows or movies quite as much on the mini, but performance is comparable. Set side by side with the iPhone 12, HDR shows on Netflix look just as good. The iPhone 12 mini stands alone as not only one of very few small phones but the very best of small phones. The Lightning port in the bottom is the fastest way to charge the phone.

It isn’t a world away in terms of quality from the iPhone 11. In low light, on the main camera, you’ll see slightly better colours and a cleaner image than you did before. In good light, however, there’s not an awful lot to choose between last year’s models and the iPhone 12 mini. Not that this is a bad thing as the iPhone 11’s main camera was already pretty good. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are splash-, water-, and dust-resistant, and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions and have a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance may decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage is not covered under warranty. The iPhone 12 mini has the same A14 Bionic processor and 4GB of RAM as the iPhone 12 and iPad Air, and so has the same class-leading performance, as well as 5G – you are not sacrificing speed or power for the small size. In any case I don't entirely blame Apple for the poor reception. But only getting 1 bar of mobile reception on recent a iPhone model with 4 antennas is pretty disappointing. It's not like I am close to the ocean or in the middle of nowhere.. For the more open-minded smartphone connoisseur, there’s also a world of superb-value Android-based options at around the same price as the mini and cheaper, from the nearly-as-compact Google Pixel 4a to the larger and stupendously good-value OnePlus 8T.

But the biggest problem is simply the amount of screen area to see things. Trying to review some documents on the 12 mini was a painful mess of zooming, scrolling and eventually giving up to go a bigger device. Watching video was also a bit tedious, meaning I would start but not actually watch an episode all the way through – not something I have experienced with modern 6in-plus smartphones. That’s the key takeaway with the iPhone 12 mini. It may be smaller and cheaper than the iPhone 12 but on most counts aside from battery life it is an equally capable phone. The size of the device doesn't say much about the power of the iPhone 12 mini. In fact, it is quite disproportionate since its A14 Bionic chip is among the most powerful on the market. This processor, also found in the regular iPhone 12 as well as its Pro models, easily surpasses the Snapdragon 865, which is at the heart of many high-end smartphones on the Android side. On top of the fantastic A14 Bionic processor, the iPhone 12 mini is also outfitted with 4 GB of RAM. This means that even the most demanding apps and games run very smoothly on this smaller iPhone. Camera Modules Some features may not be available in all regions or all languages. For more information on iOS 14, visit apple.com/uk/ios/ios-14.

While the 5.4in screen is excellent, it is small and cramped by modern standards; if you are looking to upgrade from an iPhone 6-style phone it is very similar in size. The iPhone SE is a similar size, therefore, but its design, technology and features are far behind the 12 mini.

Well I could already use the new iPhone, so I thought everything was Transferred and the old phone just experienced some kind of error, so I just tapped "cancel" on the old iPhone. The display also measured up well in our technical testing. With a measured peak brightness of 640cd/m2 in auto brightness mode it’s going to be readable on the brightest of summer sunny days and its average colour accuracy Delta E score of 0.94 is also exceptionally good. This is a screen on which anything you care to watch will look wonderful, including, most importantly, photos and video shot on the phone itself.

Despite this, the iPhone 12 mini is among the best phones for video you can buy and, if you don’t worry too much about Dolby Vision and up the frame rate from 30fps to 60fps, you get full stabilisation at 4K. That’s still not something all smartphones can deliver. I have a feeling the constant 1 bar of mobile signal at home is having a negative impact on battery life, but at least the battery is doing better than my old phone so I can't complain.. The iPhone 12 mini doesn’t have the new sensor-shift OIS of the iPhone Pro 12 Max – you get regular OIS on the main camera which adjusts the lens and not the sensor behind it – but there are significant improvements from a hardware perspective over the previous-gen iPhone 11. I strongly urge anyone considering the iPhone 12 mini to think about whether it really has all the screen they need for everything they do on a phone in 2020. But if it does, then the iPhone 12 mini is wholly unrivalled as the king of small phones.I ended up doing less on the iPhone 12 mini because of its small size, which could be a good thing if you spend too much time on a phone, but it just meant I needed other devices to get whatever it was done.
