The 12 mini will be the most prestigious iPhone. This is the phone to get if you want status among friends and strangers alike.

1. It’s brand new. It’s hot. Much better than a 11, or lowly X or iphone 8
2. It’s small. In fact its more status than a normal 12 or the pro models, because its smaller. It screams “I actually LIVE life instead of being glued to my phone like you nerds”
3. You can use it with one hand. Gives you more efficiency and time to do other tasks. More time = more money, freedom, happiness.

I’m getting the 12 mini blue, 256GB.
 
The Pro Max is the most prestigious of the 12 lineup. If anything the mini is the peasant option.

This is where you are wrong my friend. Who is going to buy this massive phone? Only tech enthusaists. Probably 99% of them in the tech industry. People that are stuck to their phones all day. Nerds.

Now those of us that are doing exciting things - bodybuilding, racing fast cars, skiing, surfing, boxing, titans of business, living life in the fast lane ...we don't have time for a big phone nor the worry of carrying such a massive thing around.

Its not about the price...its about who's using the product.

Essentially the iPhone 12 mini is like sitting at the cool kids table.

Is there really any need to pigeon hole people because of their choice of phone size. I'm judging no-one because of the size of iPhone they have. Just get the one YOU want and be happy with it SMFH 🤦‍♂️
 
Right... it's nice that you are trying to convince yourself you are buying the most prestigious phone here 🤣
Based on his mantra we could surmise they he has to have the mini because he's a poor arsed biatch, but hey ho, we wont do that ;)

Isn’t that why they have different versions of the 12, because not everyone wants the same version? Furthermore, imho, your choice of a cell phone does not determine your status in society or your worth as a human being.

No it’s not. Even lay people know that the ones with three camera holes is the more expensive ones vs the candy colored 2 holes iPhones.

The most prestigious one will be the gold 12 Pro Max. It has the appearance and the bling, ultimate status iPhone.
But of course people with Galaxy Z Fold 2 would still laugh at those “cheap” 12 Pro Max... :D

I'm having a hard time judging you by your post... which phone do you have?

Hahaaaa, great thread. Also quite aggressive and strongly worded I somehow agree with some stuff. At least almost no really phone addicted person on earth would buy the iPhone 12 mini as screen is way to small for them. Watching videos, doing social media, editing photos and videos for instagram etc. would be much harder on the Mini.

As an iPhone 11 owner I will 100% buy the iPhone 12 Mini and I haven't been so excited about an iPhone for many years. It is small but can do most of the stuff efficient. Also I don't have any social media account besides YT, and only because of channel subscription. I don't watch videos on my phone either besides maybe a short YT video sometimes.

Plus it has almost all the same specs like the Pro series in such a small phone, lightweight too. That is some magic engineering. Thanks Apple.

So I agree with some of that to 100%. And it just looks cool with it's big screen in such a small housing. I am very excited and can't wait to hold it in my hands. Maybe a little phone addicted hahaaaaa...

I mean back when I was a kid, this was the real prestige phone:

But I agree that mini phones are where it's at.
