iPhone 12 mini can be either with two full-fledged SIM cards (nano + nano), or nano + eSIM (the last virtual one). Wireless charging power 15W only with original MagSafe charger, otherwise it is 7.5W.

the 12th iPhone in miniature is a top-of-the-line smartphone with “charged hardware” and cool equipment that fits perfectly in your hand. All thanks to the 5.4-inch diagonal screen dimension. Apple has introduced a Super Retina XDR OLED panel with a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels and True Tone adaptive colour temperature control. The 5nm A14 Bionic chipset, supported by 4/256 GB of memory, rules the ball in the "engine compartment" of the smartphone.

There are practically no tasks of an unbearable nature for the “iron” platform of the device — it pulls any games and applications “at maximum speed”. The main camera of the Apple iPhone 12 mini 256GB uses a pair of 12 MP image sensors: a leading one and an ultra-wide one with a viewing angle of about 120 °. A similar resolution is prescribed for the selfie camera of a smartphone, the lens of which is located along with FaceID sensors on the so-called “monobrow”. The smartphone is assembled in a dust- and moisture-proof housing with flat side faces. It also has an NFC, a newfangled Wi-Fi 6 adapter and a Bluetooth 5.0 module. The gadget's battery "refuels" at an accelerated pace by wire (20 W) through the Lightning connector or via MagSafe magnetic wireless charging (15 W).

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Apple iPhone 12 mini 256 GB is a compact and highly efficient smartphone that stands out for its compact size, making it easy to handle and fit into small spaces.

The camera quality is another highlight, offering excellent photo capabilities, including impressive night mode and stabilization features. The phone's aesthetic design is also praised for its beautiful appearance.

What can I say about this device? Extremely convenient. Fits perfectly in the hand. In terms of functionality, it's also good. Small and very fast. The camera is the same as on the 11pro.
Size, phone operation
Battery. In the cold, just like most iPhones, it quickly drains.

Suitable as an everyday phone.
3 July 2025 
I've been using the device for 7 months now; I purchased it in 2025. Currently, it performs excellently in games like PUBG and racing. I personally bought the phone exclusively for work, and now I use it on a regular basis. I can confidently say that this is the perfect option for those who find large phones inconvenient or unappealing. I've read other reviews, and many people mentioned that the battery doesn't last long. I use the phone 24/7, with it sitting in my pocket for half the day at work, and I spend 3-4 hours on it in the evening. The battery lasts exactly a day, and that's enough for me. Those who plan to be on the phone 24/7 will need to purchase a power bank.
Compact and convenient size, support for the latest updates, aesthetic appearance, performance, no lags/problems during use.
Battery and overheating due to the small size and power of the phone.

Summary: There are fewer disadvantages than advantages, I recommend buying it.
29 September 2024 
IPhone 12 mini, convenient size, small, color lavender purple, well-made buttons. Looks aesthetically nice, two cameras, excellent camera quality.
But because it's small, it fits in all bags and is comfortable to hold. Nice color and nice cameras, has fallen many times and hasn't broken, charges quickly. But not with all chargers; the battery holds well. It has MagSafe, so you can use a wallet with MagSafe and a magnetic power bank because it's really great. Comfortable, small, nice, I recommend it.
Too small for people with poor eyesight and many people say it is too small, but in my opinion, that's good. There aren't too many drawbacks, but others may say otherwise; if you want to watch with two people, the screen is too small. 128 gigabytes is too little in my opinion.
