I picked up a pre-owned iPhone 12 Mini recently, not expecting much—but this phone genuinely surprised me. Buying used always feels like a gamble, but in this case, I ended up with a reliable, fast, and lightweight device that still performs impressively in today’s standards. Condition: Despite being pre-owned, the phone came in great shape. There were a few light scuffs near the edges, but nothing major. The screen was pristine—no dead pixels—and it looked like it had been professionally cleaned and factory reset. Battery health was at 87%, which is reasonable for a phone of this age. Performance: Powered by the A14 Bionic chip, the iPhone 12 Mini still handles daily tasks with ease. Whether it’s switching between apps, streaming, or light gaming, everything runs smoothly. I’ve been running iOS 17 with no lag or freezing, which says a lot about how well this model was built. Camera: The dual 12MP camera system still delivers sharp, well-balanced shots. Smart HDR and Deep Fusion help capture detail even in tricky lighting, and Night Mode—while not on par with newer models—is perfectly fine for casual use. Video quality is solid too, especially at 4K 60fps. Battery Life: Battery life is the one area where you feel the age. With moderate use—messaging, email, social media, and streaming—I usually make it through most of the day. But on heavier days, like navigation or video calls, I need to recharge by late afternoon. Thankfully, it supports fast charging and MagSafe, so topping off is quick and easy. Extras: Face ID works just as fast and reliably as on newer iPhones, and the overall call quality is great—both over Wi-Fi and cellular. I was also impressed by the stereo speakers. They’re surprisingly loud for a phone this size, with clear sound for calls, podcasts, and music.
