iPhone SE (2020) 12 mini or 2020 SE: better battery life

12 Mini is about 2 hrs better than the SE in my experience. The 13 Mini is even better though, if battery life is key for you.
The only reason to go for the SE over the Mini is if you are PWM sensitive and need to avoid the OLED screen on the Mini.

Not the only reason; the SE is less expensive.

I don't know, the price on the 12 Mini is pretty low right now. Walmart had it for $299 last week (any carrier, no contract). If you can do a 2 years device payment plan, both Verizon and AT&T are offering the 12 Mini for free right now as well.
Obviously, I have no idea what country the OP is shopping in, or if they are looking for new or used, etc. but there sure do seem to be a lot of deals going around for the 12 Mini that bring it in line with the SE in terms of price. At least for the holidays anyway.
Well that and if you prefer TouchID to FaceID.
Ah ya, that is a good point. TouchID definetly works better for some people.
Can confirm, small phone was my priority, although 12 mini (was tempting to buy) might be better overall, you still get SE for like half the price of 12 mini.Not the only reason; the SE is less expensive.
