Customers have good things to say about the iPhone 12 mini 5G 64GB's size and camera quality, with many praising its compact form factor and excellent photo capabilities. However, a common complaint centers around the device's battery life, which some users find insufficient for their needs. The smaller size is a significant positive for many, but it appears to come at the cost of battery performance.
Good phone. Underrated. The phone got hot when I first charged it. It also got hot when i was downloading all my old apps and when I was using gps. I thought Apple improved on their battery but when I used the gps on phone, it still drained the battery. I still had about 40% but still, it is worrying. Overall, it is a big improvement because my last phone was iPhone 6. So this was a gift to myself. I think when they deliver packages, they should put closer to the door in case rain falls. I was at home when they delivered it but I thought that I would mention. Also, if this is an upgrade to a previous phone, they don’t activate the SIM card before sending and you still have to call your network provider. I was hesitant about the Face ID but it’s not bad. It would not work if you put a picture of yourself in front so that’s good.

I can’t believe I saved $300 on the iPhone 12 mini! My first iPhone was a 6SPlus and thought it was time to replace it. It never really fit in my hand, purse, or pocket. The mini is the perfect size for me. The screen size is a tiny bit smaller than the 6+. So tiny, that I don’t really notice the difference. It has all the same features as the 12. The camera is fantastic. No more fuzzy low light pictures. I don’t worry about the battery size, as I don’t have the phone attached to my hand all day. I highly recommend this iPhone. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m really enjoying my new iPhone 12 Mini! I just kept dropping the larger smartphones, so having the option of a smaller phone has been perfect for me. Beautiful screen and easy to use.
