At first I was back and forth between Black and Blue for my 12 mini, but then I started looking more at the Red model. Waiting for pre-order I started debating Blue vs Red. Last time I debated these two colors was in October 2006 when I bought an iPod nano, I ended up going with Red and was very glad I did, the blue one looked weak when I finally saw one in person. Did the same 14 years later and decided to pick up the Red 12 mini. I figure I can always put a case on it if it's too vibrant, but I'll still have a bit of red showing which I will like.

Oh man I really want to go naked! Maybe try it naked here and there before I go full on hippie naked. Lol
So do I but I get very anal about my device. Usually when I'm at home, the phone will be out of the case and only when I go outside. I plan to get AppleCare Plus still.
 
Mini users, are you concerned over battery? I saw 4 hours 30 minutes screen on and died. Seems like you have to be a lite user for this phone or you won’t make it in a day... Is that not concerning to you?

It seems that in comparison with the regular 12 and 12 Pro the battery won’t be too bad.

Ya I highly doubt that will be close to real world results. If your a heavy user you might be in trouble. And imagine after a year. Who knows maybe it might but I guess it’s just science. Lol

The absolute numbers might not be realistic, but getting ~85% of the battery life of a 12/Pro should be.

But really this is the wrong thread for that discussion, see those instead:
