There is way too much common sense in that video. It has been reported to the mods.
The thing that I personally keep going back to is that the mini, which is the 'lowest' tier of the new phones, is just as expensive as my iPhone X was, which was the top of the line. To put it into perspective.![]()
iPhone 12 mini sales are off to a slow start, analysts say
The iPhone 12 mini was met with a lot of excitement because it's a high-end smartphone that doesn't make compromises with specs to get its small size. However, new reports say that that excitement about the small iPhone may not be leading to actual purchases.www.google.com
Well the above article is somewhat disappointing 😒 but again not surprising when $100 dollars more get you a bigger screen.
Thoughts?
I was hoping for a sequel and hope the mini isn’t a one hit wonder. I’d love a longer battery life as this phone was almost perfect except for the battery (thankfully it’s so fast to recharge).
The Mini, which is a new phone, starts at $730. The X, which is 3 years old and has a SoC that is 3 generations old, started at $1000 when it was new. The Mini is hardly “just as expensive as the X”.The thing that I personally keep going back to is that the mini, which is the 'lowest' tier of the new phones, is just as expensive as my iPhone X was, which was the top of the line.

i am not an “odd choice” regardless of what many here may think.I was just offered either an iphone 12 mini 64gb, or an iphone 11 128gb for work purposes. I accepted the 11. I've had an XS Max which is still fine, but I'm going to give that to my partner and use the 11 myself. After holding a mini in my hand at the shop it's just way to small for my needs. I'm certain there's a market for it though, but it still seems like an odd design choice.
For those with the mini, do you turn on the setting to make text larger?

No thank you. My Mini is exactly the phone I want. The same as the 12 only smaller. Perfect.
I have kept the text at default. I wear glasses and seeing the text correctly has not been a problem.For those with the mini, do you turn on the setting to make text larger?
You only save $100 on it compared to the standard 12 which has a much bigger, yet still manageable, display and better battery life.
Are we surprised people actually like big phones with big batteries? We now use our phones as our main computer.

No, but I have had my OS set to Bold since around iOS 11/12 and it translates well to the mini (without losing too much space)For those with the mini, do you turn on the setting to make text larger?
OMG that would be beast! 12 Max larger lens in the smallest small factor!After having the xs , 11pro , regular 12 I can safely say I love my mini . It's almost the perfect 1 hand use phone.
My day starts at 8 and I always do at least 4 to 5 hours of talk time with tons of emails and texts . 3 days in a row I've reached 20 percent around 9pm .
This is on par with the 12 in my use.
Both my 12s have been rock solid signal wise on Verizon .
If they made a mini pro with the 3 camera and a tad bigger battery I would gladly pay 1000.00 .
I think the original note only had a 5.5 inch screen.
I discovered that the best experience for me was to keep the text at the default size, but use the BOLD setting and it works perfectly. Everything is dark and very crisp.For those with the mini, do you turn on the setting to make text larger?
Nope, not yet and I'm an old fart.For those with the mini, do you turn on the setting to make text larger?
