I have a friend who has the iPhone 12 mini and encourages me to get one in my next phone upgrade. I guess I’ll have to get used to the new way of home button lol. And actually I’ve gotten used to Facebook not having the back button. It sure is annoying for a lot of blind users but double tapping on newsfeed if we’re scrolling in our newsfeeds, brings us back to the list of postings and same applies for the notifications.
