Simon,

Yes, all four new iPhone 12 models use Face ID and all four use nano SIMs.

You are correct! The 12 mini has a full screen, like the other 12 models, only 
a bit smaller, and no home button. The new SE is still in the lineup though.

iPhone 12 mini: Size, release date, price, specs and colors

The iPhone 12 mini packs a lot into a very compact design

  


IPHONE 12 MINI SPECS

Price: $699

Display: 5.4 inches OLED (2340 x1080)

Colors: Black, White, Red, Green and Blue

CPU: A14

Storage: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB

Rear cameras: 12MP wide (f/1.6), 12MP ultra-wide f/2.4)

Front cameras: 12MP TrueDepth (f/2.2)

5G: sub-6Ghz, mmWave

Battery: Up to 10 hours video streaming

Size: 5.18 x 2.53 x 0.29 inches

Weight: 4.76 ounces

The iPhone 12 mini is arguably the most intriguing new iPhone 12 that Apple has 
launched. For one, it's the most compact new iPhone in years - even more so 
than the existing 4.7-inch iPhone SE. It also offers all of the same features 
of the regular iPhone 12 for a much more affordable price.

The iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch OLED display, Apple's new A14 Bionic 
chipset, 5G connectivity and a dual-lens rear camera armed with Cupertino's 
latest computational photography knowhow. It costs $699, which is $100 less 
than the 6.1-inch iPhone 12.

As the cheapest among the four new iPhone 12 handsets, the iPhone 12 mini looks 
as if it could be a front runner among the best small phones. It will 
undoubtedly provide Apple with a direct competitor to value-oriented flagships 
like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Google Pixel 5. Here's everything you need 
to know about the iPhone 12 mini.

iPhone 12 mini price and release date

The iPhone 12 mini has a release date of November 13, and starts at $699. At 
this price, you're getting 64GB of storage. Pre-orders begin November 6, and as 
with every iPhone, the mini will be sold at all major carriers.

  


The 128GB version is $50 more expensive, at $749, while the top-of-the-line 
256GB variant will cost $849.

iPhone 12 mini size and design

The iPhone 12 mini sports slimmer bezels and a flatter frame, like the rest of 
the iPhone 12 line. In some ways, it hearkens back to the iPhone 5 days. The 
notch unfortunately looks to be the same size as it was on previous models.

Apple calls it the smallest, thinnest and lightest 5G phone in the world.

iPhone 12 mini colors

  


The iPhone 12 mini comes in five colors: black, white, Product Red, green and 
blue. The blue and green colors look and feel fresh on this handset, while the 
black and white options are for those who are looking for something more 
conservative.

iPhone 12 mini: Display and Ceramic Shield

  


iPhone 12 mini resting above iPhone 12 (Image credit: Apple)

Apple is incorporating a new type of cover glass for the front of the iPhone 12 
mini, called Ceramic Shield. Developed in conjunction with Corning, Apple says 
this new technology is tougher than any smartphone glass, citing 4x better drop 
performance than existing glass used on iPhones, and the biggest step forward 
for durability yet for Apple's handsets.

  


With the iPhone 12 line, Apple is moving from LCD displays in its cheaper 
models to Super Retina XDR-quality OLED displays across the board. In the 
iPhone 12 mini's case, that technology is packed into a 5.4-inch frame. That 
makes the iPhone 12 mini's footprint markedly smaller than even the iPhone SE's.

iPhone 12 mini specs

The iPhone 12 mini should be mighty when it comes to performance. It employs 
the A14 Bionic - the first-ever 5-nanometer chip in the phone industry, just 
like the rest of the iPhone line. You'll see 50% faster graphics by Apple's 
estimation thanks to its new GPU design, which will make games look better than 
ever.

iPhone 12 mini cameras

Apple is employing its first-ever seven-element lens in the iPhone 12 and 
iPhone 12 mini, for a major improvement in performance when shooting in dim 
conditions. These iPhones also benefit from an all-new f/1.6 aperture primary 
optic, allowing more light to reach the sensor.

I like the sound of the mini but wonder if tapping text will be more difficult?

The iPhone 12 mini is arguably the most intriguing new iPhone 12 that Apple has 
launched. For one, it's the most compact new iPhone in years - even more so 
than the existing 4.7-inch iPhone SE. It also offers all of the same features 
of the regular iPhone 12 for a much more affordable price.

The iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch OLED display, Apple's new A14 Bionic 
chipset, 5G connectivity and a dual-lens rear camera armed with Cupertino's 
latest computational photography knowhow. It costs $699, which is $100 less 
than the 6.1-inch iPhone 12.

As the cheapest among the four new iPhone 12 handsets, the iPhone 12 mini looks 
as if it could be a front runner among the best small phones. It will 
undoubtedly provide Apple with a direct competitor to value-oriented flagships 
like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Google Pixel 5. Here's everything you need 
to know about the iPhone 12 mini.

iPhone 12 mini price and release date

The iPhone 12 mini has a release date of November 13, and starts at $699. At 
this price, you're getting 64GB of storage. Pre-orders begin November 6, and as 
with every iPhone, the mini will be sold at all major carriers.

 

The 128GB version is $50 more expensive, at $749, while the top-of-the-line 
256GB variant will cost $849.

iPhone 12 mini size and design

The iPhone 12 mini sports slimmer bezels and a flatter frame, like the rest of 
the iPhone 12 line. In some ways, it hearkens back to the iPhone 5 days. The 
notch unfortunately looks to be the same size as it was on previous models.

Apple calls it the smallest, thinnest and lightest 5G phone in the world.

iPhone 12 mini colors

 

The iPhone 12 mini comes in five colors: black, white, Product Red, green and 
blue. The blue and green colors look and feel fresh on this handset, while the 
black and white options are for those who are looking for something more 
conservative.

iPhone 12 mini: Display and Ceramic Shield

Apple is incorporating a new type of cover glass for the front of the iPhone 12 
mini, called Ceramic Shield. Developed in conjunction with Corning, Apple says 
this new technology is tougher than any smartphone glass, citing 4x better drop 
performance than existing glass used on iPhones, and the biggest step forward 
for durability yet for Apple's handsets.

 

With the iPhone 12 line, Apple is moving from LCD displays in its cheaper 
models to Super Retina XDR-quality OLED displays across the board. In the 
iPhone 12 mini's case, that technology is packed into a 5.4-inch frame. That 
makes the iPhone 12 mini's footprint markedly smaller than even the iPhone SE's.

iPhone 12 mini specs

The iPhone 12 mini should be mighty when it comes to performance. It employs 
the A14 Bionic - the first-ever 5-nanometer chip in the phone industry, just 
like the rest of the iPhone line. You'll see 50% faster graphics by Apple's 
estimation thanks to its new GPU design, which will make games look better than 
ever.

iPhone 12 mini cameras

Apple is employing its first-ever seven-element lens in the iPhone 12 and 
iPhone 12 mini, for a major improvement in performance when shooting in dim 
conditions. These iPhones also benefit from an all-new f/1.6 aperture primary 
optic, allowing more light to reach the sensor.

For the first time, all cameras on the iPhone - from the front TrueDepth camera 
to every rear lens - supports Night Mode. And given that both the hardware and 
post-processing software underpinning everything has been improved, Apple says 
you can expect much more detail and clarity in medium- and low-light shooting 
scenarios than previously possible on iPhone 11 models.

Apple says it's optimized iOS' entire stack to take advantage of 5G's increased

when it isn't, your iPhone 12 mini will revert back to LTE, to preserve battery 
life.
Surprisingly, every iPhone 12 model, including the mini, supports both
