– This is the iPhone 12 Mini and it is the iPhone of my dreams. Now is it for you? Candidly, probably not. But I think that thereare a significant amount of people out there who’vebeen waiting for this phone for a very long time, myself included. So I will give Apple props. This is the mostcomprehensive line of iPhones they have ever established. There’s the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, if you’re a normal being you require a roughly normal sized telephone. You can go up to the Pro Maxif you crave a big, big chungus.( clears throat) And then you have thisguy, the iPhone 12 Mini. Now, if I situated this alongsidesomething like an iPhone 5S or even a current SE you’ll seethe immensity gap is real. I make, I time hamper thisfor five seconds, right? I’ve just pulled it out of the box and I can already telljust how nice it is to use. The thing is smartphones thesedays have gotten enormous. That’s a big reason whyI employment something like this Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.Fits delicately in my pocket, of course it’s got the folding thing which is admittedly agimmick I really like. But the thing about the Mini is that it doesn’t need a folding gambit or anything like that. This is a full flagshipand a smaller form factor and that’s just simply, simply something that we haven’t seen in a long time. I’m stumbling over my own messages because I’m so excited forthe brand-new Mini phone in my life. Something else I appreciateabout the iPhone 12 Mini is the lack of settlements. So this has been something that is rumored for virtually the part year now but the most important thing that remained me from making a decisionearlier were the specs and specifically the trade-offs, right? So generally speaking also on behalf of a Mini phone, you have to lose facets right? So whether “were losing” 5Gor high refresh pace or whatever the case is, generally speaking, thissmaller invention needs some of the high cease aspects that you expect. Thankfully, that’s not really the speciman with the iPhone 12 Mini. So yes, it does need ahigher refresh proportion exhibition but that is shared with theentire iPhone 12 lineup.They all run at 60 Hertz and while yes I would haveloved to see something higher. It’s not only trade-off you have to stir with the smallerphone, same thing with 5G. Now I will absolutely saythat 5G is not a reasonablenes for you to upgrade to a brand-new telephone right? And actually I do thinkthat the 5G promotion behind these new iPhones is a littlebit exaggerated specially because it’s not really that much better for the vast majorityof parties at the moment. That being said, I is necessarily make 5G over not having 5G, and the fact is that the iPhone 12 Mini at least here in the United State, does support not only Sub-6 5G but too millimeter billow. Now am I going to use thosecrazy fast rapidity all the time? Probably not but I wouldcertainly instead have those and the fact that it’s sayssuch a small phone is nice.Same thing goes with the screen unlike the iPhone XR and the iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 Mini hasa much higher resolution 1080 p OLED display. Now yes that does means that the notch glances a little bit large-scale, so it’s pretty much exactlythe same on the other phones, you therefore lose a littlebit more screen real estate on the top of the device. But that is a trade-off I am happy to represent to have a high quality screen. Same thing croaks for the cameras. We’ll play around with thosea little bit more later but you’ve got the exact samecameras from the iPhone 12 and therefore very similarcameras to the iPhone 12 Pro and not very far off of that 12 Pro Max. Again, you’re getting the smaller phone without the sacrifice. Now there are some sacrificesyou do need to impel. Screen real estate isabsolutely one of them. This is a much smallerdisplay and because of that while it certainly givesyou more screen real estate than something like aniPhone SE for example, it’s still not going to be as nice for watching video orsomething as the Pro Max.But that said today, I don’t care, that’s the whole end ofmy point. I don’t care. You might care but for me, I’m totally joyful watching( laughters) on a smaller screen. So one of the primary concern I have going into my experience with theiPhone 12 Mini, is battery life. This just simply has a smaller battery and all those greatbenefits of being a flagship with the high-end A1 4 processor and camera and all that kind of stuff is great, but you too have a smallerbattery to dominance it at all. So, we’ll be seen to what extent that get that would be one of my main concerns and yes, it substantiates MagSafe charging at slightly slowerspeeds, but I don’t care. You won’t notice. It’s totally penalize. Some of the big differencesbetween the Mini and it’s much bigger brother the Pro Max is on the camera feature. So while they both sharethe exact same ultra wide they have very different main sensors and of course the Pro Max does have that 2.5 occasions telephoto. Now, in theory you shouldsee much better answers on this Pro Max right? Not merely do you have a larger sensor but you too have thatnice wide opening there and generally speaking that mean you get better low-grade daybreak concert, and you likewise get a little bit more of that natural degree of field.Well let’s see if that’sactually the dispute. So if I merely pick somerandom piece of tech up now and perhaps we’ll justtake a couple of photos. So with this particular example of a very close up subject, you can see a difference. So solely if youlook at the flames behind the PS5, they’re a littlebit more bokeh’d out, and that glances a little morelike a real portrait mode but of course this is the standard photo.Now while the Pro Maxdoes at least on paper have better stabilizationwith the sensor-shift. It actually isn’t a big difference. In fact it’s actuallydesigned to be essentially the same level of stabilization as what you get on the Mini phone. Now the telephoto is apretty big difference. So if I take a ordinary shot on the Pro Max and I take a telephoto, very large difference and glance, I’m all for having somekind of telephoto on a phone it makes a difference, but ultimately does itmake enough of a difference for me togo with a much larger phone and to give up the muchcheaper price tag of the Mini. No, it doesn’t. -[ Ken] It does for me Austin. – Well look, you can use the Pro Max. It’s a free country and it’s a free macrocosm. -[ Ken] Is the telephone free? – No. -[ Ken] Oh. – So the iPhone 12 Mini hasthe same Apple A1 4 Bionic chip as its bigger brothers, the1 2, the 12 Pro, the 12 Pro Max, but there’s more to itthan really pure specs.First of all, this doesactually have more memory six gigs of ram versus four, but importantly I wanna seehow the implementation of its words up. So let’s start out by runninga quick little Geekbench and only get a little bit of a baseline on what both of thesephones are capable of. Interesting so the Pro Max actually has a slight lead in Geekbench. Now mind you this is just a single lead but at least on the multi-core side we participate a little bit moreperformance on the Pro Max.So this is the 3DMark Wild Life test. Now this is simulating a very high-end graphically demanding recreation racing on both theMini as well as the Max. What do we got? What do we got? 41 versus 39. Yeah see, there “theres going”. The Pro Max gathers outa modest precede as well. Oh wow. In one minute, the Minilost 2% of its artillery.( laughing) Oh boy. Alright. I think we gotta extend the 20 -minute test and be seen to what extent these phones hold out. So look at the thermal likenes while we’re running this2 0 minute long stress test. It’s pretty clear that theiPhone Mini is much warmer. So even though the Pro Maxhas a hotspot on the top the part back of the Miniis I would say fairly toasty but the real test is goingto be what the performance of the phones look like. Alright, the benchmark is, 45 versus 91. Whaaaat? Huh? Huh? The max tallies of bothphones pretty much indistinguishable but the difference iswhat 18 or 17 hours in the Mini lost half its performance but then it came back up. I don’t think I would puttoo much thought into that, that seems like a really weird edge case. -[ Ken] I feel like you’d almost have to run it one more time to figure it out. – Absolutely would yeah. I’ll say the Mini definitely rolled warmer but if you take that quirky anomaly out, I actually are of the view that the Pro Max and the Mini play-act very similarly. I symbolize, you look at the general loops-the-loops, I signify, they were very similar. Both phones start to throttleafter a couple of lopes but they don’t throttle that is something that. I’m actually gonna say thatthis is a win for the Mini , not in so much that it actuallyoutperforms the Pro Max but it gives you essentiallythe same action in a framework which is much smaller, that actually I will sayis pretty impressive.So who is required to buy the iPhone 12 Mini? I picture at this point, Ipretty well established. This is the phone for me right? Am I gonna toss the Z Flip in the garbage? Absolutely not. But as far as an iPhoneand all the benefits of using an iPhone, the 12 Mini checks all the boxes for me with the only exceptionbeing battery life. But that’s something Ican deal with specially because I’m in a very fortunate position where I do go back and forthbetween the two devices.But if you require a compact flagship there is simply nothing thattouches the iPhone 12 Mini.
