iPhone 12 mini is coming.
iPhone 12 mini size and design
The iPhone 12 mini sports slimmer bezels and a flatter frame, like the rest of the iPhone 12 line. In some ways, it hearkens back to the iPhone 5 days. The notch unfortunately looks to be the same size as it was on previous models.
Apple calls it the smallest, thinnest and lightest 5G phone in the world.
iPhone 12 mini colors
The iPhone 12 mini comes in five colors: black, white, Product Red, green and blue. The blue and green colors look and feel fresh on this handset, while the black and white options are for those who are looking for something more conservative.
iPhone 12 mini: Display and Ceramic Shield
Apple is incorporating a new type of cover glass for the front of the iPhone 12 mini, called Ceramic Shield. Developed in conjunction with Corning, Apple says this new technology is tougher than any smartphone glass, citing 4x better drop performance than existing glass used on iPhones, and the biggest step forward for durability yet for Apple's handsets.
With the iPhone 12 line, Apple is moving from LCD displays in its cheaper models to Super Retina XDR-quality OLED displays across the board. In the iPhone 12 mini's case, that technology is packed into a 5.4-inch frame. That makes the iPhone 12 mini's footprint markedly smaller than even the iPhone SE's.
iPhone 12 mini specs
The iPhone 12 mini should be mighty when it comes to performance. It employs the A14 Bionic — the first-ever 5-nanometer chip in the phone industry, just like the rest of the iPhone line. You'll see 50% faster graphics by Apple's estimation thanks to its new GPU design, which will make games look better than ever.
iPhone 12 mini cameras
Apple is employing its first-ever seven-element lens in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini, for a major improvement in performance when shooting in dim conditions. These iPhones also benefit from an all-new f/1.6 aperture primary optic, allowing more light to reach the sensor.
For the first time, all cameras on the iPhone — from the front TrueDepth camera to every rear lens — supports Night Mode. And given that both the hardware and post-processing software underpinning everything has been improved, Apple says you can expect much more detail and clarity in medium- and low-light shooting scenarios than previously possible on iPhone 11 models.
iPhone 12 mini 5G
Apple says it's optimized iOS' entire stack to take advantage of 5G's increased speed. In fact, iOS is tuned to only employ 5G when it's absolutely necessary; when it isn't, your iPhone 12 mini will revert back to LTE, to preserve battery life.
Surprisingly, every iPhone 12 model, including the mini, supports both nationwide sub-6GHz 5G as well as millimeter-wave 5G. This means you'll get the best possible data performance in any condition, and up to 3.5Gbps downloads in urban areas outfitted with mmWave nodes.
iPhone 12 mini battery
Apple doesn't typically reveal much information surrounding the batteries inside its iPhones, so we'll have to wait for tear downs before we have hard numbers on the iPhone 12 mini's total battery capacity.
The rated battery life for the iPhone 12 mini is 10 hours of wireless video streaming, compared to 11 hours for the larger iPhone 12.
As we've suspected, Apple is now ditching packed-in wireless headphones and charging adapters in box across all iPhone 12 handsets. Cupertino is pitching this as an initiative made out of environmental concerns, though at least it's still providing a Lightning-to-USB-C cable in box.
The iPhone 12 mini is capable of fast 20W wired charging, but you need to spring for an optional power adapter to achieve those speeds.
iPhone 12 mini MagSafe charging
Behind the rear cover glass of the iPhone 12 mini is a sophisticated new MagSafe magnet that helps locate the device on a wireless charger. These magnets can also be used for new accessories, including a snap-on wallet and various case designs.
Wireless charging has improved to a peak 15-watt speed, which matches Google's Pixel handsets.
iPhone 12 mini outlook
The iPhone 12 mini has the potential to be a big hit. The appeal of the iPhone 12 mini is that it will cram all of the most important upgrades over the iPhone 11 — including the fastest 5G performance, an OLED display a faster A14 Bionic chip — in a design that can easily slip into your pocket.
Those who want a bigger screen or more advanced features like a telephoto camera or LiDAR sensor will gravitate towards the iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max. But the iPhone 12 mini could make small phones cool again. Watch this space as we learn more about the iPhone 12 mini.
