After this, you'll be charged 10p/MB while roaming. What's not included The seven-element lens and brighter aperture are two things that lead to sharper images overall and cleaner image capture in low light. You can also now capture Night Mode images on both the ultrawide and True Depth selfie camera, which is something you couldn’t do on the iPhone 11.

Testing conducted by Apple in September 2020 using preproduction iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 units and software and accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapter (20W Model A2305). Fast-charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. The screen here is 5.4 inches, and you’re comfortably able to reach all corners when using the phone one-handed. Qi wireless charging makes a return here for the iPhone 12 mini, and this generally worked well in our testing. Using the MagSafe fast-charger (the official Apple one is 12W) we found the phone was able to charge 12% in half an hour.

This is slower than all the other members of the iPhone 12 family. Exactly why that is is unclear, and it means you’ll get a slightly slower charging phone here from Apple if you truly do want that top-end spec. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by an Apple service provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings.

Here, the A14 Bionic is supported by 4GB of RAM, 2GB short of what you see in the iPhone 12 Pro models, not that this makes much of a difference when it comes to the overall performance:

Compare and Choose

It may feel like an iPhone for the nostalgists, but it’s anything but when it comes to spec. The A14 Bionic chipset that powers this device might not be the fastest chipset for iPhones any more but we found it to work nearly flawlessly, whatever we threw at the phone. Plus, you've got a top-end camera array with two 12MP rear shooters that perform just as well as those on the iPhone 12. Even if you're committed to Apple phones, the iPhone 12 mini has little competition if you're after a small yet high-end handset. The closest Android gets is the likes of the 5.9-inch Asus Zenfone 8, with most flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 and OnePlus 9 ranges being above 6 inches. Buying a reconditioned iPhone 12 mini is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPhone 12 mini is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old iPhone 12 minis out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.
