I came from a 6.59 inch android phone. Currently using the Mini it's one of the best phones to hold. One hand usage is just so easy. I mainly just text, read and take lots of photos/videos. Will only watch some youtube videos sometimes and the OLED is very crisp and sharp. Think the Mini has the highest PPI in any Iphone now.
I think the form factor on the Mini is just so well proportioned over the bigger 12. One of the best phones I've had in a long time.

My phone history is like Galaxy Tab 7 inch -- Iphone 4s --- Iphone 5 --- Iphone 6s plus --- Galaxy Note 8 --- Iphone 11 and now Iphone mini
I guess my usage is similar to yours... I have iPad pro... I was looking for iPhone 12 pro... when I went into Machine... that time they haven't release the pro... but once I saw the mini... I just fall in love with the size...
now after maybe 3 weeks or maybe a month... I love the mini... I do not miss larger display size... only problem that I can think of is when I put the
mini on my car holder... the power button is obstructed by the phone holder...

Just spent 30-45 minutes toying around with both the 12 and the 12 Mini. Decided the 12 was bit more practical for me especially for typing. Also the larger screen estate makes the notch for the FaceID camera and sensor look less comical as it does on the Mini, hahaha. I think the Mini is OK if you’re not a heavy user but if you’re gonna use your phone to shoot videos of your kid then probably the larger screen and the battery of the 12 would be better in the long run.
Thanks for the sharing... after much consideration. I probably will go for the 12. My reason being I have used the small iphone 7 small screen for so many years, and moving to a bigger screen ip12, may give me more "perceived" value. I will like to explore if I will use it differently, maybe I will find myself try gaming on it, which i almost never did with the 7, or some other more productive work. Maybe after a few months, if I dont see myself using the phone differently compare to my small 7, I may consider selling or swapping with those using the mini, but find themself wanting the bigger screen instead. Also, accessories , casing, screen protector etc... cost the same for ip2 vs mini.. eventhough Mini should use less leather or smthing..
I hope I wont regret with my purchase though
