This is the first video of the iPhones where the colors are accurate. Bravo to who shot and edited this video. Finally I know what the colors actually look like.
This is so important because if you are in an area with no Apple store nearby they will only show a couple colors as display models – and normally you’d like to really know the color before you purchase it.
Everyone was saying the white iPhone is pinkish(!) – but now thanks to this video I understand the nuance of the color.
Just look at those comparison videos they made for 12/12 Pro and other android phones, the 12/12 Pro looked like mini sized compared to the android counterparts, then look at this video, the mini is really MINI lol
As SOON as I heard there was a mini version that has pretty much the same internals and camera… I was instantly sold. I’m coming from an iPhone7+ and I’m SOOOOO TIRED of having a gigantic phone. It’s super cumbersome.
Always a pleasure to watch and hear the fantastic Dan Ackerman. My oldie Goldie goto person for windows computers.
On another note.. It’s been almost 15 years.. But I still miss and remember James Kim. It often feel like it was just yesterday that I heard about the cold cold incident.
I’ve pre-ordered the 12 Mini. I’ll leave the Pro Max to the guys that need to carry their phablet in their handbag because they can’t fit it in their pockets 😀
my main phone was the 1st gen SE. had that for 4 years before I broke it. the 12 mini will be my next phone for the probably 4+yrs. can’t wait till I get it!
I am using an s10 and the mini is the only apple phone in years that kinda makes me want to switch, I like smaller phones but they always get less specs which is the only problem.
Partially I think the 12 Mini seems fresh and new because it isn’t just an update. The iPhone 12 Pro is an updated iPhone 11 Pro. The iPhone 12 replaces the iPhone 11. The 12 mini is a new class of device so it stands out. Also it just makes sense.
a little less in height (like 1 to 2 cm) would have been perfect but this is at least an acceptable phone finally from apple (will just wait to see if battery ok)
Hope people that buy understand that smaller phone means battery life won’t be as good as ‘regular’ phones , I had a iPhone se 2020 and while battery life was good when lightly using it but start using it to watch YouTube/Netflix etc then the battery life drains fast.
I want a phone with decent performance, that can easily fit in my pocket, that has some water resistance, it’s well build and can handle a shock without breaking into a million pieces. I don’t care about cameras, I don’t play games on it, I don’t watch movies on it. I’m willing to pay up $400 for that phone. Is that too much to ask from the phone industry? Is it impossible to make?
The iPhone 12mini is a waste of money but it is a cool concept for those who still want a small device for whatever reason. Right now I have the iPhone 12 Pro Gold and it’s decent size and fits right in the Hands. 12mini is just too small.
Swapping my beast-battery 11 pro max for the mini cause I can’t handle the pinky pain and how cumbersome it is anymore. My hands are smol and pockets are nonexistent.
I wish Android Manufacturers do the same! The best small phone I have ever seen with Android was the S10E, but it had some compromises, I wish it had the same specs and features like the S10 Plus.
I have an iPhone SE1 and think that the 12 mini has a screen that is too large for me. I would prefer when in the 12 mini the screen does not occupy the entire phone because I don’t want an entertaining device, but a practical and well-designed communications device.
Hahaha 🍎 sure gets there customers all wild up on a regular size phone called the mini… Like come on now. My girl is like omg they made a mini!!!! No comment.
