Other Who else is buying iPhone 12 Mini?

[edhchoe]

I thought 5.4" screen would be too small at first, but now I just cannot wait to buy one.
It is bringing back memories from iPhone 4/4S era when I was super excited about the release and when Steve Jobs was still alive.
I am feeling nostalgic...

This to me looks like the perfect phone size-wise and I love the new boxy style from the 5/5s days that will be back on the whole lineup. But if it indeed has an OLED screen I will pass and stick with my 11, due to the eye strain Apple's OLED causes me.

Convenient to keep in a pocket. Miserable to look at with eyeballs older than 13 years old.

Im all over it

Indeed, would love the size but no point when I can't see much on the screen 🙂

It will likely be my next phone but I’m not ready to upgrade quite yet. The size/screen ratio is sweet.

It’s a nice option for those that want a tiny phone but as someone who’s used the Max range since the iPhone 6 it’s not something I would consider for myself.

133 grams, Thank you Apple

Cant decide. Currently have an iPhone 11 Pro and its awfully heavy sometimes.

They made that thing look tiny in the intro video, specifically in dude's hand. I'd love a smaller phone but I'll likely be sticking with my 11 Pro for a while.

My 2016 SE is still the smallest and lightest, so I'm not quite ready to rush out and get one. I also don't like Face ID. But if I were forced to buy a phone because my current phone breaks, then I'd get the 12 Mini over the 2019 SE.

In terms of form factor and features, it's the ideal phone for me (almost, I'd miss Touch ID as long as we still have to wear masks in stores). But I'll keep using the SE2 for another year or so until they have a mature 5G radio (that doesn't suck so much power that they have to fall back to LTE as default).

Really wish there were a way to get a hands on before pre-order.

I’m passing my current 11 Pro Max to the wife and picking up the Mini for me. Reminds me of the SE I have.

 

[FlyingTexan]

What’s with OLED making things harder for some of you to see?

 

[tunastink]

I'm a big fan of the Original SE, so I've been craving an updated "small phone". I'm bummed about the 12-mini being less capable from a photography perspective compared to the Pro models, but I'm still pretty set on ordering the mini as soon as pre-orders open up.

The only thing I needed to see was that the display is bigger than that of the iPhone 8/SE2, which I find perfectly fine. Having that in a smaller footprint is perfect.

My wife wants to get the iPhone 12 Mini, she has the iPhone 6s, so this will be a pretty significant upgrade.

 

[xNerdHerdx]

I wanted to but I’m kind of turned off by their $30 price increase for no reason from the advertised price

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

My wife has decided on the 12 Mini over the 12 after pretty much coming to terms with a bigger phone for the past week. I sort of talked her into it as well as I know how much she hates bigger phones. Looks like a very powerful device and a nice portable size.

 

[rcp27]

Currently have a X and before that a 6S. My feeling going from the 6S to the X is I felt it just crossed the line for me from totally one hand usable to a bit too big for that. I'm definitely up for the 12 mini to replace my X

 

[uecker87]

If I buy any iPhone this year it will be the mini. I currently have an 11 Pro Max that is sitting around not being used since I switched to a Note 20 Ultra.

There are times that feels way too big and I feel like a nice compact phone would be a good change of pace.

I know it is silly, I just don't know how I can go back from 120Hz though. People say "oh scrolling matters that much to you"... well yeah. I'm willing to bet most of us spend more time scrolling or watching animations on our phones than pretty much anything else.

 

[thepro8]

debating between that and the 11 pro. I'm on an 8 now so seems like a decent step up. I prefer a smaller phone, but my eyes are starting to go so might pick the 11 due to screen size and extra battery.

 

[lewjh]

I'm in. Upgrading from a 7 that's starting to have lightning port issues. Size and features look perfect

 

[CrazyForCashews]

I love small phones especially the new Mini but I’m not ready to drop almost $1000 Canadian for one.
