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.

This is the best iPhone I have used since the 4s. Apple finally figured it out. My SO has the normal 12 and this is so much better the loss of battery life doesn't matter unless your on your phone all the time and with all the same features in a small package its super handy, pocketable, and just nice to have a small phone again. I hope apple keeps releasing small phones in the future.

Love the phone size! Great camera. Easy to use. Long battery life.

Upgrade from iPhone 8. Really like the size. It’s fast and the camera is great.

Great size and good looking. I’m having a hard time getting used to the new phone as Apple has changed how you access things. Camera protrudes a bit off of the back, so I’m a bit worried about it getting damaged easily. I am concerned about the battery life. It was completely dead when pulled out of the box, but the salesman said it wasn’t a problem. It uses much more battery life in a day than my old Apple iPhone.

As a person who prefers a smaller phone in the pocket, this fits the bill. Although bigger than the original Apple SE, it is smaller than the second generation SE and has the latest features. It gives me all I need in a phone and more and I'm very pleased with the purchase. Moving away from the Home button was a piece of cake for those concerned. I am very happy with this purchase.

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.

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.

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.

So far, so good. Still learning how to use the iPhone 12, after using an iPhone 5 for years. The camera is definitely better, which I like. But some of the workings seem unnecessarily complicated. Luckily, the Geek Squad has been very helpful.

Dillon was our salesman. We had purchased my new iPhone 12mini(red) online on our Verizon upgrade; I was trading in my blue iPhone 10XR. Our appointment was 6:30pm; and Dillon was right on time. The information was there on his system. He seemed inexperienced, but he was courteous and thorough in asking us questions; and the more experienced geek team was right there to guide him. It took some time to download my photos—- but we love Best Buy and we shopped around, and actually purchased an on sale Insignia dishwasher! Dillon did a fine job in handling that sale also. Overall we were very pleased with our visit, and my new iPhone is really nice! Sincerely, Emmett M. Shutes & Kelly J. Shutes

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!

Camera amazing, size amazing, apple products amazing. I purchased the white mini and love how it fits in my pocket. I love how I can easily hold the phone when I go for a run. I use the outlet box symmetry and looks good and feels protected

I was excited when I heard Apple was gonna make this phone, and couldn’t wait to het one. Crazy it’s not selling better. Coming from an 8 plus everything is an upgrade! Love the snappy performance, excellent camera, and one handed operation. I’ve had no issues with battery life at all. Granted I’m no gamer or social media freak, but I’ll average three hours of screen on time and still end the day with 50% battery life. I do miss touch ID, though. Face ID is good 90% of the time, but when I’m wearing a mask it’s kind of a drag.

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.

I bought this phone for my husband for Father's Day. His was an iphone 7 so he needed an upgrade. We got the iphone 12 mini because it is close in size to what he had and it's a 5G phone. He's very happy with it.

I've had this phone for over a year, and love it. I am not a fan of the larger sized phones - so hard to fit into pockets! When I read news feeds and articles on the web, the smaller size does not seem to be a problem - and I'm 'old' (70) so one might expect that I'd need larger format. But this phone's size is not a problem in that regard. I sincerely hope that Apple continues to provide this smaller size in their future production.

Best iPhone out there. Who needs a giant phone, anyhow! Battery life is excellent and camera is nice.
