    Love my new iPhone mini 12! I upgraded from iPhone 7 and love the size! Just as big as the 7! I didn’t want the 12 or 12 pro cuz they were large. It’s like putting an iPad up to your ear! No more home button cuz all you do is tap the bottom of screen. Only drawback is the charging cable it comes with. The product should have also included the “brick” attatchment to the lightening cable since they changed the configuration /size of the usb. Now I have to purchase one that fits. Right now I’m using the older ones and it’s ok. I feel apple likes to make money off of us by constantly having to purchase different accessories every time they come out with a new phone.

    Cannot describe how ecstatic that I switched from Android to Apple! I love this phone, I was so sick and tired of carrying around the GIGANTIC Samsung S8+ that was like a movie theatre in my pocket...this is the way to go in 2020. #FACTS

    I prefer the smaller iPhone. So I purchased the iPhone 12 to replace my older iPhone. I wish Apple still offered a small iPhone.

    I am super excited about my new iPhone 12 Mini. I love the smaller size! I also love the new features with the camera. I am finding the Face ID very helpful and time saving. I did not like the fact that the new wall charger was not included. I had to go out and buy it after I bought the phone. That was a bummer.

    This little guy is so adorable! The size is so small and light; holding the phone is very easy. Like all iPhones, the camera is awesome and everything runs super fast. The black color is really pretty as well. This is the first black iPhone I've ever gotten. Another winner from Apple.

    I love my new iPhone 12 mini. It is the perfect size. Photos are incredible. No problem for me switching from the 8 to the 12. Very familiar so that was great. I highly recommend it! I wanted blue and am happy with that color.

    Amazing phone. I upgraded from an 11, because I wanted a smaller phone. I prefer to use my phone with one hand, and the 11 proved to be too big. One thing I wasn’t expecting was the screen quality. Apple finally started using OLED on their phones, and this display is outstanding. Battery is a downgrade, but it will get you through the day.

    Has excellent screen to body size ratio. Honestly feels like a medium sized phone in a small body. The camera is great and the price overall cant be beat.

    Great iPhone Except for Battery Life

    Really liking the size of this phone. Processor speed is impressive coming from iPhone X. Screen size is perfectly fine for web browsing and video watching. The only reason I am not giving it a five star is because of the battery life. I understand the smaller size and high quality screen plus 5G is not helping but if Apple could have somehow managed to keep the battery life close to the regular iPhone 12 then it would be a 5-star phone for me...

    I was having a really hard time deciding on which size to get the iPhone 12 in when I first started looking at them and I was skeptical of how practical the Mini would be…however, after weeks of using the 12 Mini I am convinced it was the best one to get. It is so easy to use and it really isn’t hard to watch videos or text with. In fact, I find it much easier to text with because it’s easier to hold and use with one hand.

    It has been an excellent phone, but because it is already starting to slow down and freeze after only a year of use, I cannot give it the 5 stars that I believe the iPhone 8 earned. Still a nice phone that is plenty useful. I tend to close out running apps once a week and limit use to the typical Facebook/YouTube nonsense. I used it for gaming some when I first got it, but there was a long time between when I played games and it freezing after the most recent updates. I bought the more expensive iPhone because I thought they lasted longer due to being purpose built/programmed for their hardware (or vice versa) vs. android, but if they only last a year I will have to rethink that decision.

    I was afraid it would be too small but it’s perfect. I had a 7plus before and the screen area on the Mini is not noticeably smaller, in my estimation. It is so easy to carry in my pocket now; I barely know it’s there. The camera has wide angle, which has greatly improved my landscape pics. The 5x zoom is great for flowers and butterflies, which I love to shoot. Battery life is super. I’d love to have the improved camera features on the Pro model, as I am a photographer but I think the convenience is more important to me.

    Upgrading from a 5s to 12 mini. The mini is slightly larger, but small enough to clip to my side for easy access. Camera is sharp. Screen larger than expected. While a challenge operating without a button, this senior is forging ahead. Best price and service at Best Buy. Sarah, Matthew and Jesse stayed late to complete switch and so very helpful.

    So far, I like this iphone alot. The larger phones feel cumbersome and I tend to drop them. I've been using an old iphone SE and have now switched to the mini. This phone has the bells and whistles of the larger iphone 12 models, but fits snugly in my hand. Its battery life is shorter than the larger models, but for me that's OK.

    Going from an iPhone 6s to the 12 mini was quite a leap. And it was a lead I’m glad I took. I really like the size of the phone and the speed is incredible compared to my old 6s. It takes some getting used to not having a home button and the loss of the ear bud jack but it’s a sacrifice I was willing make. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a smaller sized phone with all the speed and abilities of the larger phones on the market.
