I was holding to mini 13, but now I’m worried they won’t release it and after a while (2022?) they will introduce iPhone SE3 in the mini form factor
 
I have an iPhone 12 Mini 128GB blue and had been waiting a long time for a high spec smaller phone. Sold my 11 Pro and love it, only one change I would make would be to have a Telephoto lens instead of ultra wide
 
Mini 12 owner here and I (basically) love it. Only thing that can get me to ditch it is they bring back TouchID in some form on it.

Otherwise, it's a keeper.

Blue 12 mini 128gb. Definitely my favorite iPhone by far. I upgraded from a 4S to a 6+ and then to an 8+ so i had the biggest phone for a few years. Since the mini was literally .1 inch smaller in screen size, I decided to try it out before I got the regular size and I‘m DEFINITELY staying with the small phone for as long as I can. Much more comfortable in my pocket, less likely to break if I drop it naked, and still has every other great feature of the regular size. Sure battery life is not as good, but it charges so fast and my iPad mini serves well while it’s charging.

one thing I think Apple should do is design a smart battery case that can help extend the life of your internal iPhone battery by working in conjunction to determine the best times to charge your phone so you never have to worry about low battery
 
Best iPhone ever, worst iPhone ever sold by Apple 😆 (in term of business sales)
Other people who like giants phone are blind 😢

12 mini blue 64GB. Switched back to Apple after 8 years on android and it’s great 👍🏻
 
Blue Mini here. Hope this smaller model continues even in the future. Won't be too long till the trend towards smaller will start again, in the next five years by my guess.
 
Blue mini here, and my wife got a black one.

I'd be interested to see a poll- Got a mini or Want one. We may have a lot of friends who got the SE and would join us if not for their relatively new SE.

I remember first getting mine and my favorite feeling was how well it felt in my pocket.
 
I’m one! I bought it in blue with the mid-HDD in January after Xs Max broke. I forgot how comfortable pants are going back to a smaller phone lol! Couple that with the magnetic wallet and I’m golden! However, I only bought that because Apple does not make a Moto Razr style iPhone— yet.
 
Launch day iPhone 12 Mini, blue, 256GB. Fully intend to upgrade to the 13 Mini, and I usually keep my iPhones for 3 years at least. It's the perfect mix of small size but big features. It would be a mistake to not offer a small phone.

Just wanted to see how many here actually own a Mini. I do and i love it, my favorite iPhone ever. I can hold it normally and reach the top corners. Really hope Apple brings it back next year.
I've got a blue, 128GB one, and it's my most beloved iPhone since the glorious 4.
I owned iPhones in the old form factor (a 6 and a 7) for more than six years: they were fine devices of course, but the feeling that they were a tad too clunky and prone to slip off never went away, even if I have actually rather large hands. The instant I grabbed the Mini instead, it felt just so perfect. I also love the fact that it is a Pro in every way except for the camera, at a decent price point.
This Mini is IMHO a summary of the best of 13 years of iPhone design, and I really hope it is going to stay.
