Apple iPhone 12 mini (64GB) - Blue

Product Information

The display also supports the HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG HDR standards, with peak brightness of a claimed 1,200cd/m2. This matters less than it does on the larger screened iPhones, simply because you’ll probably won’t want to watch TV shows or movies quite as much on the mini, but performance is comparable. Set side by side with the iPhone 12, HDR shows on Netflix look just as good. You’re likely to find the battery life on the iPhone 12 mini is better than any older iPhone such as an iPhone 8, especially if you’ve been using an older phone for a few years, but this isn’t going to be the best battery life you can get from a smartphone. The iPhone 12 mini comes running iOS 14.2 out of the box, so you've got all the benefits of the latest version of Apple's mobile OS, such as the App Library and home screen widgets.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are designed with the following features to reduce their environmental impact. 17 See the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini Product Environmental Reports Monthly rolling plansThese plans are totally hassle free and auto-renew each month. This means you don't need to do a thing, unless you want to choose a different plan. And you can do that anytime. Unlimited calls and texts One of the big changes design-wise is one you can’t see: MagSafe, a series of magnets inside the rear of the phone, which allow you to connect a variety of accessories such as cases, wireless chargers or a car mount. Regardless of the smaller capacity in the iPhone 12 mini, the battery life on a single charge still remains at a good level with up to 10 hours of continuous video streaming for example.

The perfect phone for those who prefer a smaller phone: wonderfully compact and a superb all-rounder

The iPhone 12 mini’s design is its unique selling point, and it’s a welcome alternative for those who want a smaller iPhone, and who’ve looked on in dismay as Apple has released ever-larger handsets (but also don't want the dated-looking design of the iPhone SE, Apple’s other mini-sized phone). iPhone 12 mini is on sale now around the world after being delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The iPhone 12 mini was announced in October 2020, and then it was released on November 13 that same year. Apple Watch devices that require replacement parts are not included in the Apple Certified Refurbished Program.

It may feel like an iPhone for the nostalgists, but it’s anything but when it comes to spec. The A14 Bionic chipset that powers this device might not be the fastest chipset for iPhones any more but we found it to work nearly flawlessly, whatever we threw at the phone. Plus, you've got a top-end camera array with two 12MP rear shooters that perform just as well as those on the iPhone 12. You can sometimes find it for a little less than the RRP in third-party stores, but being an iPhone this has held its value quite well.The iPhone 12 mini doesn’t have the new sensor-shift OIS of the iPhone Pro 12 Max – you get regular OIS on the main camera which adjusts the lens and not the sensor behind it – but there are significant improvements from a hardware perspective over the previous-gen iPhone 11.

Again, this will offer a solid day of battery life for a middling amount of usage, but if you’re using your phone consistently throughout the day on mobile networks, you’ll find this phone will need a recharge mid-way through the day. As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone 12 mini does not include a power adapter or EarPods. Included in the box is a USB‑C to Lightning cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports.Then there’s the addition of next-gen 5G connectivity technology, allowing you to experience faster speeds and easier connection when using mobile data. This is great futureproofing technology to have on board, but at launch 5G isn’t widely available in many areas, meaning it won’t be a transformative experience for most people right away. The screen here is 5.4 inches, and you’re comfortably able to reach all corners when using the phone one-handed.
