I just wish they’d give iPad the same treatment and make a Pro in a Mini size :)
- d3nj4l 6y agoI honestly can't wait to buy it. I'm so tired of my 6.7" phone.
- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoI agree. I think it will sell like hotcakes. I use an iPod Touch (smaller than the Mini) as my "low-end" test device. Whenever I'm using it, I feel envious, as my regular phone is an XSMax.
- coldpie 6y agoI'm very tired of my 5.6" phone (Pixel 3A). 5.4" seems a small upgrade, but maybe worth it. I've been on the Android camp for a decade, but I'm getting fed up with these enormous phones. It's ironic that there's a million Android manufacturers and zero good small Android phones, while there is one iPhone manufacturer and they may actually take the small phone market.
- dont__panic 6y agoBecause of aspect ratios and bezels, the 12 Mini is significantly smaller than the 3A. The 12 Mini is smack dab between the size of the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 6, whereas the 3A is roughly the size of a current iphone 11. Diagonals only tell you so much, unfortunately.
- jonplackett 6y agoSo weird how these things come in cycles. With the new flat sides and smaller form factor, they basically just rereleased the iPhone 5 (with, I'll admit, a couple of new features)
- flixic 6y agoApple is tearing me apart between Mini’s size and Pro Max camera.
- ogre_codes 6y agoYes... absolutely. I want a Pro Mini (Max).
- panopticon 6y agoI have no interest in upgrading from my 11 Pro, but I thought during the event "if they announce a 12 Pro Mini...".
- centimeter 6y agoThe way I avoid stressing about this is by realizing that the iPhone camera is still way worse than a real dedicated camera with a large optical path (lens and sensor). If you care about good photos, the Pro Max won't get you that far in the grand scheme of things.
- zepto 6y agoHow do you know?
- centimeter 6y agoBecause I've taken tens of thousands of pictures on FF DSLRs, APS-C MILCs, and iphones.
- andrewzah 6y agoThe best camera is the one you have on you. I almost always have my phone, whereas I am not carrying (lugging) my dslr or even my mirrorless around. No thanks. Unless you are printing these photos, the iphone's cameras are more than adequate for posting online.

- asavadatti 6y agoThe iPhone SE has a devoted following because of its size. There is a huge market for people with smaller hands. I was hoping for the headphone jack to make a comeback but I think that’s a lost cause at this point
- smiley1437 6y agoI still use a 6S because of the headphone jack, lots of long conference calls where my Airpods die and being able to quickly switch to a plug-in headset (while the phone is on a charger!) is such a convenience. If they can have a camera bump for the cameras, why not a little bump for a headset jack???
- andrewzah 6y agoI've used this adapter [0] for my X with zero complaints. I got tired of fighting the 3.5mm battle after I broke my 6, plus the new chips in the later series are way faster than the 6 now.

- smiley1437 6y agoHey thanks! I'm definitely going to pick one up
- ginko 6y agoStill seems quite large, though.
- albroland 6y ago12 Mini is roughly 1cm taller and 5mm wider than the original SE.
- saagarjha 6y agoStill seems quite large, though.
- albroland 6y agoRelative to what other phone on the market?
- saagarjha 6y agoiPhone SE.
- ryan93 6y agoHow is .15in wider a big difference?
- saagarjha 6y agoIt's something you'll feel when holding the device in your hands.
- albroland 6y agoAssuming you mean the 2016 iPhone SE, in the US you cannot buy it from a retail store - it is not presently available on the market as new stock (that i'm aware of). You can only get them used, refurbed, or maybe NoS if you're lucky.
