Apple iPhone 12 Mini 256GB grün

Niedlich, süß oder winzig, das sind die ersten Assoziationen, die mit dem iPhone 12 mini in Verbindung gebracht werden, doch das kleinste Smartphone der Reihe ist technisch ein Schwergewicht.

Dass "Mini" nicht mit "Minimalistisch" gleichzusetzen ist, zeigt das iPhone 12 Mini. Es bietet Rechenpower im Überfluss und auch an der Kamera spart Apple nicht. Den im Alltag ungemein praktischen Formfaktor erkauft ihr euch mit einer knappen Akkulaufzeit.

Small phone fans rejoice! The iPhone 12 mini is a pocket rocket with almost everything from the regular flagship inside a beautifully compact chassis.

The iPhone 12 mini is built for those who have been dreaming of a small phone but don’t want to compromise on quality, and Apple has done an exceedingly good job at making that a reality. It isn’t perfect, with middling battery life and a high price for just 64GB of storage, but if you can put those negatives aside you’ll love what the iPhone 12 mini can do in its miniature package. 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.

If you’re looking for an iPhone 12 and think picking up the mini version will save you £100/$100, then I think you’re looking at it wrong. You shouldn’t buy this iPhone because it’s cheaper, you should buy it if you’ve been hankering for a smaller phone and are happy with the sacrifices that come with it. For most people, I still think the regular iPhone 12 is the best buy.

People who want a smaller phone will be hard-pressed to find a device as compelling as the iPhone 12 mini. That's because Apple took nearly everything that worked well in the larger iPhone 12 including its high-powered A14 Bionic chipset and excellent cameras and packed them into a pint-sized frame. The catch: While the mini offers the same great performance as the larger model, its battery life leaves much to be desired.
