Display

The iPhone 12 Mini has a 5.4-inch display screen that has a resolution of 1080×2340. It enhances the visual experience of users overall to provide them with an immersive visual experience. Whether you are at your home or a journey, you can stream your favorite movies at high resolution.

Storage

The iPhone 12 Mini has come up with three versions of storage, 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. Often, users can buy Apple iCloud storage to upload their additional data to the cloud storage. Still, if they prefer to buy a physical storage option, then, Apple has also provided them.

Connectivity

This Apple product has provided users with efficient connectivity solutions through wireless connectivity, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. However, users can only have a charging port on the downside of the phone to recharge. In this way, you will be able to share your data with another iPhone but never to an Android because iOS doesn’t allow them both to make connections.

Processor

This device has a potent Bionic chip of A14 that has the capability to perform several tasks simultaneously. It also allows you to use multiple apps at the same time to perform multitasking for a better user experience. Whether you are using a social media platform or opening another application, you will be able to access both.

Operating System

12 Mini came up with iOS 14, but now, it is working on iOS 17.5.1. As of now, Apple News confirmed that the iPhone 12 Mini will support iOS 18, which is the latest Apple operating system. Neither or nor, but this is the smoothest smartphone that I have ever used.

Size and Weight

As compared to its size, it is the tiniest smartphone in the iPhone 12 series. This provides it with a minimalistic and handy design. If you don’t like to put your smartphones in your pockets and want them in hand, then it is the perfect choice. Because of its low weight of 135 g, it doesn’t affect much.
