Apple iPhone 12 mini (128GB) - (PRODUCT) RED

Product Information

The spec and experience is far better than the iPhone SE (2020) so if you’re after a cheaper member of the iPhone 12, go for this model. The picture mimics that of the iPhone 12 and, despite the slight drop in resolution, the increased pixel density means you never feel as though you’re missing out on detail. So provided you're signed up to a 5G data plan and you can get a 5G signal in your area, you'll be able to enjoy superfast downloads. The iPhone 12 mini is built for those who have been longing for a smaller iPhone that is easy to use in one hand, and if you want Apple’s full-on smartphone experience in a more compact package, this is the iPhone for you.

Low-light performance could be better, but it still works well enough – and, as mentioned, Night Mode is available here too, so your night-time selfies should look just as good as your daytime ones. This gorgeous new colour joins the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini family, which is available in five other stunning finishes, and features an advanced dual-camera system, Super Retina XDR display, improved durability, A14 Bionic — the fastest chip ever in a smartphone — great battery life, and the best 5G experience on any smartphone. James is often testing out and reviewing the latest and greatest mobile phones, smartwatches, tablets, virtual reality headsets, fitness trackers and more. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini feature all-screen Super Retina XDR displays that stretch further to the edges, with systemwide colour management for industry-leading colour accuracy. Handsets like the iPhone 11, iPhone SE and iPhone XR are now cheaper than ever, and may suit some people better than this phone.The iPhone 12 mini comes without a charging block or earbuds in the box, with Apple looking to cut down on e-waste. Featuring the most 5G bands on any smartphone, iPhone 12 models offer the broadest 5G coverage worldwide. This is something Apple already offers accessories for, and we’re sure to see more, both Apple and third-party in the future.

On the bottom edge are the Lightning port for charging, and the stereo speaker, with a grille either side of the connector. Apple’s cameras are among the most capable automatic shooters on the market, and the snappers on the iPhone 12 mini performed very well in our testing. The iPhone 12 mini came out in November 2020, so you might need to check availability with your preferred network or from a third-party retailer. We found that the iPhone 12 mini would last us for a full day from a single charge, but on the odd occasion it would die off toward 10pm after a high day of usage.The camera is versatile, the screen is fantastic, it comes with reams of power and the added benefits of 5G and MagSafe mean this is a phone that will last you for years to come.
