TBH, I would have preferred if the iPhone 12 mini was a bit thicker with a larger capacity battery. But Apple have a certain manufacturing standard when it comes to their different models.

You mean to tell me that the box no longer includes the pin for the sim tray?!!...
This is the perfect phone for me. I can’t handle phones larger than my iPhone 7. Only one black spot. The iPhone 12 is three millimetres narrower than the iPhone 7. Which means that the keyboard will be even smaller since the bezels are similar in portrait orientation.

The most interesting comment of this review is the observation even the vanilla 12 now feels like a "mini" in this era of Absolute Units on the Android side of the ledger.
I've been Team Phablet since before it was cool (my first touchscreen phone was a Dell Streak!) but they genuinely aren't accessible to some people. (And conversely I boarded the phablet train at the first stop because of *my* accessibility issues - the old 3.5" iPhone displays were literally unusable for me due to dyspraxia.) I'm not going to be buying one of these but I've already told two friends that they should consider it, and neither have had an iPhone in a long time. One of them is a long-time Xperia Compact loyalist and I don't know if she'd be OK with the 5 II given its length...

Ugly hideous big notch and get rid off those P o s curves on the corners and make it more rectangular.
No pro camera and a s h t y low battery.
Epic fail
But i F anatics will still buy it.

Heavy user, light user... I believe a person need not have to choose between size and battery life. 5 inch Redmi 3 and 4 packed in 4100mah. A Droid Maxx had 3800mah. Agreed they had fewer components to pack in. Still, if Apple increased thickness by a couple of mm, made the back flush with the protruding lens, there would be room for another 800 to 1000mah in there. That thickness would have increased weight to perhaps 150gms at the max, but the phone would still be usable one handed.

I find it very odd that the iPhone 11 gets zero mention on the alternatives page. For anyone who has a 11 version, why not give some sound advice to hold onto your phone until they Finally give VRR screens, which is a make or break deal for so many who have used a 90 Hz+ screen? Or give that as an alternative to new buyers, since it's supposed to be a decent last year phone of this ecosystem by itself?
Legit came here to see if I wanted to plonk for a 12 mini or pick up a 11 after whittling my android phone down to a toothpick after 4 years of usage. I did not find this review too useful for my purpose.
This review gushed over the mini far too much and give a wide pass to the substantial throttling during extended gaming (who does that?!? no seriously, how the hell is that acceptable so easily on a phone of this price point??).
The previous iPhone review (photo comparison iirc) was done far more professionally. This review looks like chump bait. Let the other team do the phone reviews please.

Android Authority, 18 Nov 2020Yes they could've easily fit a 2800-3000mah battery wh... morethe 20% extra battery drain caused by 5g since Apple lacks the necessary expertise to bake 5g in the form of a internal modem with their A14 chip.
Even Mediatek has baked in 5g without having to resort to external modem.
Another failure from trillion dollar company.
