Good that many leaks still lead to iPhone 13 mini will still be releasing. Good news to those who love mini iPhone. Haha.

as MKBHD said, nothing is firm until Apple do the release. leaks only for hype.
I'm moving out from 12pm to smaller iphone. the feel one hand usage is another level for me than maintaining huge battery life.

I have regular iPhone 12 but boy my mistake is I didn’t even try to hold iPhone 12 mini before that. I have considerably big hands but the comfort of holding mini is unmatched.

Still thinking whether it’s worth to trade off battery life for this.

you can expect to charge few times a day

Rhinoshield probably for me - coz got no branding or logo at the back, hehe...

But which is easier to put the phone in and take it out?
*
as for rhinoshield is relatively easy to take out now for 12 series as the rubber is way softer than previous model. uag plasma is very tight.

QUOTE(westlife @ May 26 2021, 07:19 PM)
hope that this year will have 13 mini. no matter i am going to buy it or not. haha.

i just got my 12 mini, now already talk about 13 mini 😭

only around 3 months plus we can see the announcement of iPhone 13 already. Haha.

I'm late to the boat. last time using 12 pro max very huge and chunky. Not nice in my hand. Been thinking and searching for awhile until few days ago got this mini at great price.

Now I ditch Poco F3 for this Mini as my main driver. Really ios shine when you can use it in one hand.

haha. well better late than never right? been keep eye on mini for long time already but not willing to pay 3k-ish for it as my old iphone se 2016 still running well. as for now I can get 10 unit of iphone se 2016 for an iPhone 12 mini. haha.

QUOTE(anwarmatlani @ May 30 2021, 08:48 PM)
I'm taking interest on the iPhone 12 mini recently. How's the battery life for those who using it now? I consider myself a medium user, just whatsapp, reddit, social media and YouTube. I'm looking for something can last me the whole day with 5-6hrs sot. Would that be possible with the 12 mini?
*
you can, but probably you need a powerbank standby by your side all the time. as for my usage unplug at 8am need to charge at 2pm up to 80% (optimized charging turned on). my usage similar to you as I'm not gaming on my mini.

QUOTE(hown @ May 31 2021, 09:59 AM)
from my exp 12 mini battery life is not that bad.. better than SE 2020, and roughly the same compared to iphone X
*
yes, mini is better than se 2020. but for me se 2020 was also a very good already.

12 is always better buy than mini for safe purchase. You got all the best feature at optimum value. Sure no regret.

Most likely there will be a 13 Mini based on the rumours. It will have a slightly larger battery this year.

Hope for mini sequel too. With bigger battery would make my dream phone come true

How's Apple One plan for 19.90/month? Thinking to sub Apple One since Apple Music only at 14.90/month and my trial ending early next month.

It is a good value if you are comfortable in the Apple ecosystem. Still waiting for the 2TB family grade Apple one plan. It is not offered here in Malaysia yet.

Yeah. move from ipse2016 to ip12mini I think I'm starting (how so). 12 mini is the best phone I use so far. I'm very satisfy with it.

Btw I only saw 1 Apple One plan, there should be how many plan?

200GB combined all 5 accounts.

Since i have education e-mail, so i subscribe Apple Music under student account at RM6.90/month and subscribe iCloud 200GB at RM11.90/month.

And since Apple Music student account has free Apple TV+, so can jimat there too.

Total RM18.00/month.

Since I don't play games, Arcade is okay not to have.

Me kongsi 200GB iCloud with my two still study siblings.

Got myself Apple Music and Apple TV+.

All for RM18.00/month.

Compare to pay RM19.90/month for individual (50GB iCloud) and RM33.90/month for Family Planning (200GB iCloud shareable).
*
The calculations a bit confusing here. So now which one you're using? The student plan or family plan? Or both?

I'm not a student but i think i can ask to borrow my relatives' for their email if it's worth. I'm kinda new to apple subscription services (tv+, music etc), so I'm still learning to use related services to apple one package. apple music and iCloud seems to be the most important part. Arcade and tv+ also kinda good to have but can't see when will I'd be using those.

Why is my battery charge stuck at 82% even after turned charging optimization off? weird. this is new unit of 12 mini white. my other 12 mini blue didn't have such issue. I'm using Ugreen 20w charger.

Perhaps try with Apple standard charger and see if it improves.
*
tried with slow 5w and also fast 18w both didn't work.
my iPhone is 12 mini so I'd love to have it close to full battery all the time, to max out usage when i go outside.

fullcharge only happen if i put charger all night. similar to optimized charging turned on. but i already turned it off.

should i reset 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.

Guys around hw much to sell iphone 12 mini128gb for 3months use

Was thinking to sell my ipx n use 12mini but then i have an app that i use for my company wfh and it doesnt work on the new phone..need to call my company IT to reset my profile or something which im lazy to do..

N the battery is also another reason that makes me wanna sell..still 100% health but not as what i expected
*
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.

QUOTE(MisterKibz @ Jul 10 2021, 10:06 AM)
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 😹

whoa, come sell me the brown. I love brown. even my bellroy wallet is brown. biggrin.gif

Hw much u sell the 128gb?
This covid make me scared to even go out now(selangor) to cod
Postage is not something i want to ..for expensive thing..scared if got stolen/lost
*
I'm using the 128gb now, was selling before at 2.8k but didn't due to I got scammed by the previous owner (telco lock).
As for that reason I only sell 64gb variant for 2.5k (less than a month age). So, price may getting lower over time.

Given MCO situation, postage is the best bet now. For high value item, it's better to get insurance for delivery, I think around 1% of item price.
If anything happened, can claim warranty.

QUOTE(CertifiedHomphobe @ Jul 11 2021, 07:52 PM)
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's best to sell accessories separately to get more money out of it. If wanna less hassle or urgent sell then good to bundle up all in one go.
Previously 20% deduction would already easy to sell, now it's very hard to sell even at 35% less than RRP.
I even previously sold my 11 pro max at 2.5k, which is a huge loss on me.

QUOTE(jychow @ Jul 11 2021, 11:29 PM)
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
*
this would be right for about right before and after new iphone launching. After few months, prices will stable a bit.
