    Extremely fast with 5G. Love the smaller size, but bigger screen than old 6S. Much easier to navigate through screens.

    A little bit of a learning curve coming from my iPhone 7, like not having a home button or a wall charger. But, most people who use apple products have wall chargers. What I don’t understand is why they didn’t go to a usb c input on the phone. The included cable is lightning on one end and usb c on the other. So, you can use your old cable and charger. All the other apple products have usb c, mac, ipad 12, etc. Anyway, set up is really easy with cloud services, and about the size of my old iPhone 5. Fits easily in a pants or shirt pocket.

    Love the size, the color, and the speed! I upgraded from a 6 to the 12 mini and I feel like they’re similar in size, which I like!

    I live the new phone. The size is perfect and it is actually smaller than the SE. Although their website makes it seem like it isn't... Some of apples decisions are subpar. The back of the iphone is glass. On the company website they don't tell you that. I would have been much more weary of buying the phone if I knew that. I had my last iphone for 6 years and i doubt this one will last nearly as long. The company has stated that they are taking a stance to be more environmentally friendly. They are no longer including headphones or a charging block. That is fair. What doesn't make sense is the switch to a USBc. I understand that it charges faster, but it is not environmentally friendly when I have to buy a new compatible block and 90% of my devices take a USBA. I won't be able to use this cord or I will have to increase my carbon footprint and buy more converters. The company is in it to make more money and haven't come up with anything creative in a while. Depending on how long this phone lasts, I may switch brands.

    After several weeks with the Iphone12 mini, it has been a delight to use. After going back and forth between Apple and Samsung both with larger screens for several years, I wanted to try a phone that simply fits in my pocket and also be more easily tucked away when distance running and mountain biking, while having a capable camera. I was also getting tired of being addicted to the screen / notifications... I want a phone for the camera, calls, while providing the functionality when I need it. Not to be stuck browsing all day. While the screen is small and browsing isn't pleasurable, that was the point. The camera, call quality, and peripherals have worked perfectly (bluetooth). Perhaps niche, but for those of us that want that, perfect.

    I went from the I phone 8 to the I Phone mini and wasnt' sure about the smaller size. But there is not that much difference, and the smaller size makes it fit in a pocket better. The keyboard also seems to work better with my larger fingers, seems more sensitive. The camera is a big plus. The Zoom is much easier to operate. Overall, it is a good improvement, and am well satisfied.

    I bought this phone for my wife. She previously had an iPhone 7. The battery from that phone eventually gave up the ghost, so we upgraded to the iPhone 12 mini. She loves it! It fits in her hand, it has a nice screen, and the battery goes on and on! It has been a great purchase and Best Buy made it really easy to switch over.

    I bought this phone for my son, who is 11. He wanted a smaller iPhone that still had all the features of the newer model. It's a great size for kids with smaller hands, and the choice of colors was also great. Since it's Apple, he's already familiar with how it works and so far he's enjoying his new phone.

    Great and powerful phone indeed. Fits well into small palms. I preferred this iPhone than pro because of the size. Very capable cameras. Black color is a must.

    For those who loved the size of the Iphone 5, this is pretty much it with more processing power. The screen is bright, the cameras are great, and the size is actually small enough to fit in a pocket again! I love the mini and hope they continue this size in new generations!

    I love this iPhone 12 mini, the size is just perfect for your car's cup holder, your back pocket, and it fits everywhere. The camera is great even if you don't get the pro. I took a professional-looking headshot of myself with the portrait mode.

    Nice design for those who want a smaller phone to fit in your pocket. Apple continues to have advancements in processor chips and the new 12 is superior in speed and performance. Battery life is still and issues but fast changing may offset the issue. The mini was a good choice for me because it fits in my hand well and the size is perfect for storing in my travel bag.

    Great phone! It was a little awkward at first without the home button as I was coming off an iPhone 6, but in a day or two it was second nature. Good battery life and the 5G moves quickly! I like the size of the mini as it was roughly the same size as my old iPhone 6.

    Since purchasing the mini 12 iPhone, it has handled nicely. It is very light as you hold it. The photos are extremely colorful and clear and sharp! Moving app to app also is easy to do. Just enjoying this iPhone since changing from the 6s.
