I enjoy all Apple products. I currently have an iPhone 12 Mini in light green. As with all iPhones this runs on the iOS operating system. This version of the iPhone does not have the circle center button that some of the other versions and tablets have. The whole screen is touch. When I first got this phone, I really loved it! I can fit this phone in every wristlet that I own and in all my pant pockets, making it super convenient to keep on me. I have had this for about two years now and I am wanting a bigger version. I do a lot of watching videos, lives and movies and would prefer a bigger screen. Lately I’ve also been having a tough time typing properly as the phone is so tiny and my fat fingers seem to keep hitting the wrong buttons. Also the storage is only 64 ... MoreI enjoy all Apple products. I currently have an iPhone 12 Mini in light green. As with all iPhones this runs on the iOS operating system.

Also the storage is only 64 GB so I have had to purchase storage due to taking lots of pictures and videos. Overall this is a really good phone.

BEWARE! Apple will lock you out!

JUNK! I did NOT have the setting to erase my iphone after 10 failed passcode attempts turned on and yet Apple locked me out of my own iphone that I paid for after approximately 20 attempts and ALL data was lost. I thought I could enter as many as I wanted since that setting wasn't turned "on". WHO IS APPLE TO LOCK ME OUT OF MY OWN PHONE? Apple had NO right to do that! I should be able to enter the wrong code a thousand times if I want to without Apple locking me out! They have no right to do that! Their "geniuses" couldn't do anything with it. I bought a 256 gb so I wouldn't have to pay for the cloud and therefore everything was lost! There are a lot of other problems as well. You can adjust settings to your desired adjustments like turning off the auto ... MoreJUNK!

You can adjust settings to your desired adjustments like turning off the auto brightness yet the junk iphone would change it constantly. You would read a text and yet the iphone would show it as unread.You would get a voicemail notification on the home screen and when you open the phone app it doesn't show up til you close it out for a minute and reopen app. Any way, I'm going back to Samsung! I was much happier with Samsung. Like my sister said "with Apple you're just paying for the name".

Best phone I’ve ever bought from iPhone !!!

Im a small phone fan . Always had the SE versions of iPhone, I love the durability and the comfort of being able to fit them into any of my pockets , and being able to use with one hand. I gotta say Best phone I have ever bought from iPhone! I absolutely love it! Battery life is amazing lasts me all day and then some. Im the type of person who drains battery life quickly im always fidgeting with every app constantly and always forgetting to close unused apps, so this is always a struggle for me with phones , this phones battery life is astounding. Camera is so lovely in every way , I love everything about this phone !!! Recommend it for all small phone lovers !! ❤️❤️❤️

Beyond disappointed with the iPhone mini!

I was super excited about the mini when I first purchased it; what a disappointment it’s been!!! I even returned my first one thinking that it was a lemon, but sadly it wasn’t, the second one has been just as bad.  Typing on my iPhone mini now.  Just had to erase the whole line to get my curser to move.  It freezes up every couple of days; (always fun when your in a dark parking lot and need your light; has poor service in places where the iPhone 8 had good service; Siri is on vacation or sleeps late in the mini - spends a lot more time telling me she’s “working on it” than any of my other phones; my phone dropped maps somehow the other night, again in a dark place - country road, when I was trying to drop some materials off for a student under quarantine; the ... MoreI was super excited about the mini when I first purchased it; what a disappointment it’s been!!!

(Please excuse any typos - when I tried to proof read it, the curser wouldn’t move properly. 🙁

Couldn't use

I bought the phone on black Friday for my son without knowing it was locked to straight talk. He used it for a few months just with wifi before I tried to get service on it since he's getting older. Then I was told we couldn't get service because it's locked to straight talk. So I said ok I'll go with straight talk cuz he needs a phone. Then I'm told the phone is a Verizon phone and there's no Verizon in our area. I try to email customer service to see what could be done (if they could return it or switch me for one that would work) and they said they couldn't find my order even though I can see it on walmart.com. It's now been almost a year and he never did get to use his phone besides in our house. And I'm trying to come up with money to get him one he can use. ... MoreI bought the phone on black Friday for my son without knowing it was locked to straight talk.

Read all the fine print and make sure you have Verizon in your area. It should say that in the listing!

Good but not the best!

The phone came in perfect condition and everything was working. But the battery was at 88%. Maybe I was expecting too much 😁. I was going to buy the iPhone 11 by apple, but when I saw the 12 mini was the same price in plug, I decided to go with 12 mini. I think plug should change the battery’s for excellent condition to brand news, and who knows even put the price a little bit higher… just my opinion. Definitely not scam, I was so scared, my whole family told me they were going to steal my credit card informations, but they didn’t lol, And I’m glad I didn’t had to block my card! Love plug and their summer box is incredible. Even gave me a sticker to cover personal info in the package! Loved it

Perfect Small Phone with the Right Compromises

I went from one of the largest Android phones, a Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G, to one of the smallest iOS devices, an iPhone 12 mini, because I'm a macOS user and being without the iOS/macOS integration was cumbersome. I also liked the small physical size of the iPhone 12 mini. I primarily use my phones for messaging, social media, and work (Outlook, Teams, etc.) when I'm out and about. If I'm home, I'll always grab a larger device instead (iPad, laptop, etc.) Obviously, these are very different phones. There are times I miss the comparatively massive display of the Note20, but it isn't like I can't do all of the same things just on a smaller screen with the iPhone 12 mini. The one thing that has surprised me about the iPhone 12 mini is the battery life.

The one thing that has surprised me about the iPhone 12 mini is the battery life. With my normal usage my Note20 would frequently have 75% battery remaining at the end of the day. On the iPhone 12 mini with similar usage I'm frequently at 70% battery remaining at the end of the day. Given the large difference in battery capacity between the two phones, that's very impressive to me and 100% worth it to have iOS/macOS integration at a relatively affordable price-point (for Apple ??) and a phone that is more comfortable to carry and use.

The worst iPhone I have ever had

I started with iPhone 3. I upgraded from iPhone 7 to iPhone 12 mini and I miss the 7. No glitches, no heating issues, no battery drain, and no screen issues. I had to have my iPhone 12 mini replaced within the first 6 months because the screen kept getting stuck, phone overheating and other quirky things would happen. At the price difference between the 2 models and the amount of time apple has had to perfect their tech you would think a newer model would be better. Instead of apple trying to add all these features I wish they would just focus on perfecting the current features it has so they work without issues. Also it angers me to no end that they don’t do enough recalls for theirs issues. I miss the new every 2 program. Phones are way too expensive to keep ... MoreI started with iPhone 3.

Overall I would not recommend this model. The image quality is terrible as well. I’m an avid apple user with my my entire family using iPhones, iPads and MacBook pros, but this model has actually made me ask myself if I should try out Samsung instead. That’s how bad this phone is.

Very disappointed!

Loved this phone for the first few weeks. It was all set up with Text, phone, and security camera sounds that alerted me when I had messages, etc. coming in. All of a sudden, the Text sounds stopped! After contacting Tech Support twice, and Chat once, the sounds for Text messages still didn't work consistently. So far, I have taken it to BestBuy twice to have the Geek Squad check it out. Each time they got it working. But as soon as I got home, it either stopped completely or only worked sporadically. I have another appointment with the Geek Squad tomorrow to try again. Right now, the only sounds I get are for the incoming phone calls. I want to get this phone replaced but haven't found out how to get hold of a real person. Except for the sound problems, I really ... MoreLoved this phone for the first few weeks.

🤌🏼🤌🏼

This phone has left me speechless man😩. I bought 2 years after it came out at AT&T brand new because apparently the mini series didn’t sell well. People are legitimately sleeping on the 12 mini. This phone feels modern in 2023. It flies through iOS 16 like butter. The display has a higher pixel density then the 14 plus meaning the colors and pictures look absolutely 😩🤌🏼. It’s not to small nor to big it perfect. Not to mention the amazing pictures this thing takes. The battery isn’t horrible but not great, it’s manageable. The cool factory on this phone makes up for the battery life. Glad I didn’t have to sell an organ and buy the 13 pro or something 🤣 this phone is better
