Black iPhone Mini 256GB!! I always knew it would be a nice product, but man, do I love this thing. It's exactly what I've been wanting for YEARS.
Went from an SE 1st gen to an 11 when it came out. Great phone but way too bulky.
Now I'm happy to return to a phone that won't keep slipping out of my pocket or give me hand cramps. Blue 64GB. Love it.

iPhone 12 mini. Love the smaller size. I already have iPads, Macs, MacBook pros and CarPlay. I just need a phone.
I wanted to get a mini but thanks to the camera, I finally got a Pro Max 
If only Apple could bring the Pro Max camera to the mini!

I'm hoping it's available next year. This year my budget is allocated for replacing my iMac. And I want a MagSafe battery pack. I will pay extra for a Mini-Pro though.
A MagSafe battery pack that I can grab and go with would solve the battery issue.

Not an iPhone 12 mini owner, but I’m not happy about it. I love (and still use - as a backup) the original SE. I’ve been desperate for another small phone, but Apple’s release cycle was off by about 6 months. My SE started to struggle this time last year, just as the pandemic was settling in, and I didn’t want to risk supply chains being upended and not being able to get a replacement for my SE, so I panic-purchased an iPhone 11 Pro.
A few friends have the 12 mini and I adore that size, but I’m also congnizant that much of what I do requires a pretty substantial battery. I’ve also gotten quite fond of the macro camera lens. So I’m torn. My hope was the 12s mini would add Lidar, then the 13 mini (presuming they keep the form factor around similar to the X-class phones) would have a third lens.
Honestly, if the mini had three lenses right now? No brainer. Battery life be damned, I’d buy it right now.

I bought a red one (256GB) so I can more easily take it on bike rides and hikes for photos and other stuff. So far, my favorite phone. If there had been a Pro Mini, I'd have gotten that.
Show me all that love for the 12 Mini! 😎
You all rocking it naked or with a case?

Bought a blue iPhone 12 Mini after my 5 year old 6s battery gave up the ghost at Thanksgiving. Thought about buying an 11 and really bugged me the smaller 11 Pro cost more. So I went with 12 Mini and I love it. Fits in my bags, the camera's great and can read books/news one handed.
currently still on the original iphone SE. I have absolutely zero problems with the phone. I was going to get the iphone 12 mini, but decided to wait out one last year. I will be buying the next iteration of the mini this year! VERY, VERY excited!
Wife just traded a 10 max for the mini. I wasn't sure she'd like it but yesterday she lost it in one of her pockets. That did it. Now she's hooked. It's small, lightweight, and fits her hand perfectly. However, I won't be trading my 12 max pro anytime soon.
