Which is better iPhone 12 or iPhone Mini?

The only differences between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 is physical size, display size and cost. Otherwise, the colours, storage options, camera and hardware is identical between the two models, as well as the design. The 12 mini is a genuinely fantastic little device if you prefer smaller handsets though.

Is iPhone Mini 12 worth buying?

iPhone 12 Mini Performance The performance is excellent and you simply get the same performance as its bigger siblings. The A14 Bionic is the fastest chipset in the market right now and with the smaller display on the iPhone 12 Mini, the performance is even better.

Are Mini 12 and 12 iPhone cameras the same?

The iPhone 12 mini uses the exact same dual-camera system as the iPhone 12, which is something of a small wonder, because we're talking about one of the very best smartphone camera setups around. In both cases you get two 12MP sensors, comprised of one f/1.6 wide sensor and one f/2.4 ultra-wide sensor.
The iPhone 12 mini has flopped. So much so that Apple is planning to kill off the model entirely come 2022 and replace it with an affordable 6.7-inch device that'll spiritually succeed the iPhone 8 Plus. This move might seem a little drastic.
