Ya, the degradation is definitely higher when the battery is exposed to more heat like playing games but still I wouldn't bother too much about battery health. No Android phone shows this stat anyways biggrin.gif

Just enjoy the phone!

What I noticed when using apple devices is that people are much more aware and worried about their battery health. Which seems very weird for me since no one I know even in android phone groups give a rats ass about their battery health.

All my sam phones suffered terrible battery degradation that I had to claim warranty for almost all my sam devices for the battery and screen. Currently my 2nd phone had its battery replaced on its first year , now on its 2nd the battery is terribly worse off than my iphone 12 , and thats with the 30-80 rule.

My advice? Just don't look at the battery health biggrin.gif Apple is already very good when it comes to battery preservation. The in built software in ios to avoid battery degradation is something no android phone has.

If your battery has degraded drastically then just claim the warranty assuming you still have it. Besides paying for a new battery isn't that expensive anyways , so why the fuss

indeed, totally agree with you. now using 12 mini, I don't really care anymore about the battery health. even my 80% charge stuck even after charging optimization turned off hasn't fix yet. I just keep using the phone till I need to charge em back. I'm sticking to old iphone rule, always bring powerbank when going outdoor.

coming from apple original leather case, it does feel bulkier & heavier.. definitely noticeable in weight. It feel very well made though. Solid. but I dont like the feel of holding the "plastic" side, and dont like the bottom lid protrude out a lot more, and the sharp edge is not comfortable when swiping up to homescreen. That's why I didn't stick with it. Hope that give you some idea...

I have the Baseus simple magsafe 15W charger instead, charges at 15W only when battery is below 20%, will go back to 10W or 7.5W above 20%... need to use 20W or 30W adapter with USB-C PD3.0 9V 2.22A or 9V 3A for max 15W charging... works with apple 20W, Anker 20W and my Aukey PA-D1 30W charges.

The white version seem to have better magnet than the black one and can stick to my spigen ultra hybrid.

I see thanks though, coz mini is quite light that's why thinking to get a case that's is a little heavier on the side. Plus with good protection magsafe comparability. Anyway thanks for the advice.

I dont have a lot of cases. laugh.gif So far I only have Apple Leather Case, and tried Mous. And now still go back to Apple for sleeker look, a better feel. But now looking for alternative leather case... since apple one doesn't patina as how I wanted to.

To be honest, Ip12 Mini price have dropped miserably bad till its 11% discount on a non-sale day as shown below on their Apple LazMall so i guess u put ur price around 3k or maybe lesser would do jus fine 👍🏼

Hehehe i see…. And yes, super true about the best minimalist and magsafe compatible which has leather on the side is only the original Apple case, hence the reason i bought three of them!

And from my experience only the blue and black patina shine looking good after some months usage…. The saddle brown tend to be dirty hence stopping me from getting the California Poppy yellow & Product RED 😹

pretty much below 3k now, I have 64gb(white) and 128gb(blue), both having hard time to sell. might be due to this model already been stop production, or due to the battery.
hence many ppl selling their phones due to lack of money during MCOs. bring the price even lower.

Just a question , with the 13s coming out soon.

How much would the 12 fetch when used ? I've never sold any phones as most of mine would break within a year tongue.gif

Anyone with prior experiences before ? Realistically how many percent should I shave off from the msrp ? is 25-30% enough? Incl free stuff like cases and charger. Iphones from what I observe devalue differently.

Most androids would lose 50-60% of their value .

It really depends on the price of the new iPhone 13. I would start to speculate:

after launch of iPhone 13,
iPhone 12 (still with warranty of any month left, local unit)
64GB 2.4k
128GB 2.6k
256GB 2.8k
