To recap
The smallest of the iPhone 12 range, but the mini is a fantastic little device that shouldn’t be underestimated. Its lightweight and compact design, stunning display, great cameras, and smooth performance are all big plusses. Its battery life isn’t amazing and the lack of telephoto lens does mean you can’t zoom in when taking photos without losing quality, but they are really the only things we can complain about.
