iPhone 12 mini

We all knew that a smaller iPhone 12 was coming, however this didn’t stop Kaiann Drance, Apple’s VP of iPhone Product Marketing, from deciding to make a show of unveiling the new 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini, with a James Bond style unveiling, theme music and all.

Drance illustrated how it’s smaller and lighter than the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 (an interesting choice of example as opposed to the identically-sized 2020 iPhone SE), while featuring a larger 5.4-inch display. Notably, there were no comparisons made to the 2016 iPhone SE or iPhone 5s, although that may have only been because of the age of those particular models.

Despite its smaller size, however, the iPhone 12 mini won’t be skimping on features, and in fact will be identical to its larger sibling in every way except for the size. The addition of 5G support, however, means that Apple now has “The smallest, thinnest, and lightest 5G iPhone in the world.”
