For all young geeks in the comments section complaining about this phone and it’s battery life . Put your devices away . Start talking to some girls , go to the gym , get some real life friends…if you spend more than 2h online daily playing with your phone you are not living right.

Bigger issue is that batteries degrade over time so no matter your screen time you will always have less battery as advertised and worse as time goes on. Apple specifically has had lawsuits because they have been caught harming battery life to reap profits.

And instead of commenting on comment sections about what other people do in their private lives, you should read a book, write a diary’s or a book about how to live your life. Not every people gaming on their phone, and battery life is important for many because they use their phone in every day life.

Honestly, this is the iPhone that I want. My first iPhone was the 5s I’ve hold on to that from 2016-2022 when the mini was launch I was so excited to buy one and fair enough I did. Battery life is on the short side but one thing that my ownership with my 5s thought me is to always bring an external battery pack or powerbank w/ charger cable. I loved that 5s now that I own a 12 mini I really wanna make the best out of it.

When I owned a 5.5” display phone, I wondered whether bigger display is better. So I bought a flagship phone with 6.67” display but then it becomes a must to hold it with two hand. So, I look for a used IP12 Mini and then I found out the price in the used market dropped drastically, so then I purchased it. I have come to terms that phones cannot be too large on our hands or it will lose the ergonomic value and I specifically bought this phone because iOS doesn’t suck up as much juice as Android and like you said, this phone also easily gets me through the day in a single charge.

I think you are the only person who is describing about the battery life very well! Big youtubers like geekyranjith and mkbhd they never discussed about batteries much....but good bro I like the way you said( how I got this battery life)
Your content quality deserves more attention throughout the internet, I believe if you make more videos on other smartphone related enthusiastic things such as wallpapers,themes, essential apps, launchers for Android in short if can have a dedicated smartphone customisation video uploaded regularly, your channel will definitely experience significant growth.
My iPhone 12 mini holds up fairly well in the battery department. My current BH is 86 % (after 19 months of usage). The degradation has seemed to slow down (at least according to the reader. The big battery suckers from this phone are: High speaker volume, high screen brightness outdoors, navigation (Google maps), Camera app (with drainage rates as fast as 1-2 percent a minute). Keep this in mind as the battery ages. The A14 can reserve tons of power, but applications that require a lot of power can drain the phone (sometimes in 2-3 hrs vs the standard 5-6 hrs)

I like that my iPhone 12 mini is still a good phone and works. The only criticism I have for it is the battery life and health rapidly decreasing. I am currently at 86% maximum capacity after 15 months which is not the worst, but not the best. Screen time is still fairly good but you can kill it 3 times a day if it is used heavily. Apps to consider this with are mostly camera and gaming applications. Also keep in mind how you charge your phone and how you use it. It may affect your battery capacity

I think you should test the battery life in Wi-Fi and cellular respectively. Because browsing social through cellular network use more electricity
Ok. Not gonna lie. The battery isn’t the best. But, it’s by far the nicest phone I ever had. I was a die hard Android user (Google Pixel) and suddenly I woke up and decided to try an iPhone. It feels so smooth, so durable and made to last. I love that! I even don’t use a case because the materials don’t really scratch that fast. I’m truly disappointed that the 14 doesn’t have any mini version lined up.
There is something just so nice, pleasant and soothing this review is. Fantastic video.
One thing I’m curious about is how is the call quality on the 12 mini? On a regular 12 I had last year it was so horrible and full of static i had to get rid of it. The obvious trade off is battery life but that’s to be expected with a smaller phone.

Elder please bring the comparison between I phone 11 vs 12mini ; deep request
My work phone is a 12 mini. I really like it. If I were a real stickler for the form factor I would get another mini for my personal. It reminds me of the smaller iPhones like the 5 and 2016 SE, before apple was pressured to make it all bigger. The only issue I have now is as I get older my thumbs get fatter, so I have to be very precise when typing. I try my best not to use autocorrect. English grammar is hard enough, even as a native speaker, can’t lose that skill!
Never thought my 11 Pro battery life was anything special. Mini can’t be much worse, I’m sold. Still digging the Midnight color?? Thinking the new green or possibly blue, between the 3.

Real competition is between A15 vs A14 like SE 3 vs 12 mini. Both of em having 5G makes the choice tough. SE 3 is being sold offline around ₹37500 recently i think.
How is the multimedia content consumption? Watching Netflix and KZread? How does it performance in this regard? After 2 days or 3 days of buying it?
The video is really good ✌🏻
Been running on a iPhone SE 2016 for about 2 to 3 years now, moving 'back' to it from an iPhone 8 Plus, I just had it replaced by T-mobile. I love the size, but I understand that it will slowly be phased out, no more updates and I have noticed some sluggish network issues. So moving to the 12 mini over the older first gen SE would be good for me, as far as battery, the SE last me all day, but I do carry a battery pack designed for the iPhone. I think I will make the move to the 12 mini based on price, if I can find a 13 mini, better, definitely not moving to the 14, don't like the new SIM design.

FINALLY a techer that ACTUALLY explained how the batter life works.. instead of those dumb MODERATE usage or DEPENDS on this or that ... i personally use twitter insta, some cam some msgs and some music but just on walks .. no videos no gaming .. so with that in mind, if i could do a 5 sot that would be awesome! cause i have a sot ,the digital wellbeing says it anyway , that i have sot /day from 3-3.1/2 h ,so if i could manage 5h sot thats great, any1 oppinions on that?

Rules for using the minis: No heavy gaming No big hands No people with poor vision No people who enjoy speaker listening Other than that… get the 13 mini just trust me trust me!! The screen is brighter, speaker is better, and the battery will truly last longer and that can’t be stressed enough. The battery on the 12 mini is a joke I’m warning you lol.
