Original video was removed possibly by Apple but just resurfaced by someone else.

The phone looks so small and compact !

Makes me want to reconsider the 12 Mini as long as the battery life is not too bad.

I don't speak Romanian.

Perhaps someone here who speaks can help us with translation?

He has a guy that has connections, that's all he says about that. In the beginning he says that he's putting the video out because Apple just sends the phones to American YouTubers and not even the oporators (cellular I presume) in Romania can get them. And he mentions how Romania probably won't have them for a while

Looking at the screenshots, How is the difference only .6” height? In the pic it looks like 1.5-2”?!

That’s super compact compared to the 12/Pro. I would love that size for my pocket and holding it, but I am not sure if I could adjust to a screen that small after years with the iPhone X.

If the battery holds up well on it, Apple did a great job on the 12 Mini. That’s impressive dimensions. Everyone that once a smaller iPhone should be super excited.

We're talking a 0.4" less screen size - the X has a 5.8" display, the 12 Mini a 5.4" display. If you can't "adjust" to a display less than half and inch smaller then something isn't right. You'll be fine.

If it was something like a 12 Pro Max (6.7" OLED) to a first gen SE (4" LCD display) then I could understand.

Shouldn't take you more than a day...
I barely noticed the difference between the X and the 12 Pro

I had a 5.8" XS for two years and I thought at the end of that period that it's more screen than I need. To see that the 12 mini is almost the same blows my mind.

Well, that image does show a lot. It appears that the Mini won’t be a ton different on screen size from the X.

Definitely going to go look at them as soon as I can and play with my wife’s, once hers comes in.
