First iPhone 12 Mini Hands-On Video Surfaces [Update: Video Pulled]

[SYCAMOREGRAD]

Then why did you buy the 7 plus back then??
The mini is too small for me and the battery too weak.
And I never get why some people want to use their phone with one hand so often? What are you doing with your other hand?

Not every person has two, fully-functional hands. Some people need a more manageable size to use.

The video has been re-uploaded. I’m watching it now.

it would have been perfect without the notch and Touch ID on the side, like the iPad Air. nice phone tho.

and 2 big cameras in the front: portrait and wide angle

Video looks like mock-up phone, he never shows that it's actually working.

I speak Spanish and it always surprises me how much Romanian I can understand. Now I know that Romanian and Spanish are 2 of 5 "romance languages" in the world, so it makes sense. I always expected Portuguese and Italian to make that list, but had no idea an Eastern European country did too.

I found this out about 10 years ago when I was dating a Romanian girl. While sitting in a car, she got on the phone with her sister, and started speaking Romanian, and she was trash talking me she (and me!) had no idea I could practically understand.

lol sorry for you bro

You can’t attempt humor anywhere, Cancel culture wants your blood, everything is going towards robotic interactions going forward lolol

thats perfect. more attention towards the socially skilled and confident. I love it when other guys set social robotic rules for themselves.

It doesn’t really do much for me, but Romanian sounds like a beautiful language!

What kind of tiny skinny jeans are you wearing? I can put an iPad mini in my short pockets (Old Navy) and almost in my jeans pocket (lucky or Levis... I wear jeans maybe 3x year).

some of us wear tight spandex jeans to show our figure. They are more comfortable that loose pants. Try the Express hyper stretch jeans. regular jeans aren't comfortable

The perfect size iPhone. Cannot wait to order this.

Coming from a 7 Plus, I won't be losing much screen size and it'll still be a huge upgrade, plus it'll fit nicely in my pocket unlike my current phone

This is THE true successor to the 2016 iPhone SE.

He accidentally hits the screen at 10:30. It goes to the widget screen. It’s a working mini.

I speak Romanian, but i won't translate 42 minutes of him talking non sense. if there is a particular part you want translated tell me

The problem is how to know the part he wishes to be translated.

 

[vmistery]

Honestly looks like a great option for many people despite the battery limitations. I wonder if this will be a bit of a sleeper hit with people who want a near flagship without the bulk. I can see people switching platform for this phone

 

[vince085]

He posted some photos on Facebook too if you want to have a size comparation. Also for those who say it's a mockup 12 mini, he connects it via a dock connector and to his laptop to live stream the screen so it's a working device.

Well, this might be the end of iPhone SE generations. As a cheap and easily pocketable phone, with high end features. Too bad the price isn't going to be as low as it used to. At least not when you buy it new.

So you couldn't type on an iPhone 3, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C, 6, 6S, 7, 8, SE2?
Because this phone has a MUCH bigger screen that all of those.

went from 4S to 7 Plus and Max versions since. Its a habit and also didn't mean it too seriously. It like using an English keyboard when I am used to the German layout. Just habits

 

[InGen]

Free speech does not protect you from anyone else’s free speech. Sort of ironic that you think it does

He wasn’t just calling it xenophobic, he was by extension putting forward a case that the xenophobic comment shouldn’t be allowed to be expressed, for if he didn’t, he would have no need to label it such

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Also does anyone know what will happen with him? A fine from apple or just the video taken down?

Poor bastard had a strike already for streaming live (sound including) the Apple’s 12 launch. 😂😂
What people do for views.
tut.

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

He probably speaks English better than I speak English.

Self deprecating doesn’t help. You’re still very rude.
Dixit!

 

[nikaru]

Also does anyone know what will happen with him? A fine from apple or just the video taken down?

He will have a visit of two black dressed gentlmens wearing hats that will put him in a car and we will never see him again.

 

[Smartass]

Wait? Is the video really 41 minutes? 👀

To show a phone?

If it was on YouTube it probably started like

"HEY GUYS ITS YO BOY [INSERT RANDOM YOUTUBER NAME] AND TODAY I GOT AN EXCITING VIDEO FOR YOU! BUT BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS PLEASE CLICK SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE AND LIKE THIS VIDEO! BY SUBSCRIBING TO THIS CHANNEL YOU ARE ALSO SUPPORTING THIS CHANNEL TO SURVIVE IN THIS HORRIBLE TIMES! AND YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS SUPPORTING THIS CHANNEL? NORD VPN!"

EDIT: nope it didnt start like this. Its some romanian guy or something

here's another link to the video

 

[George Dawes]

So much packed into so little space , impressive

 

[brgjoe]

So is this guy the MKBHD of Romania?

"I've had this iPhone Mini 12 for the past couple of weeks now..."

I am impressed that anyone can talk about any one thing for 40 minutes. Kudos to him for that. Though I do wonder what will happen to him now for posting that stuff early. Appreciate his time and effort in doing so though. If I do upgrade (still isn't very likely for me), this would be the phone for me to upgrade to.

Makes me even more eager for the official announcement(s) from Apple about this phone.

 

[ascender]

Can't wait to try this phone out! I know it will take some adjusting to go back to a smaller keyboard, but I'm really not a fan of larger phones... I think its great Apple finally have a smaller option again as well as a wide range of phones and prices.

 

[Phone Junky]

This is THE true successor to the 2016 iPhone SE.

Not really. The SE is all about being an inexpensive iPhone with up-to-date SoC. The 12 Mini is 182% the cost of the SE.

The elephant in the room is battery life.

It lighter, smaller and even has higher DPI than normal iPhone 12. If I was in the market for a new phone, I'd have picked this one. Its somehow sad that my iPhone 8 (work) and iPhone 7S (personal) are still rock solid. Hopefully, Apple will continue providing us each year a Mini version of their new iPhone. I will probably go shopping for iPhone 14 Mini.
