Got my ip12 2 days ago. Something doesn't feel right. Ever since I use it, I always feel headache and eye strain.

Currently I'm using cheap clear screen protector. Possible because of that?

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.

Got my phone today I must say that Senheng is going places with their hunger.
You wouldn't believe it if I said I chatted them up via the app, and a few sms and clicks later I already paid for the device.
Today morning the same staff came all the way, and dropped the phone into my laps.

First impressions - Iphone 12 is too big. I have a pang of regret with not getting the mini. I was too focused on resale value. Back button top left, swipe from bottom, are 2 handed actions....My S10e can do it from 1, with a bit of effort. If anyone has a Mini 12 128GB and product Red, you wanna swap let me know (Do compensate me slightly though haha).

Second impression - The Red is not red enough. THis is like salmon pink. Not deep candy red like MUFC red.

Third - I knew this before getting the phone, but man, no faceID with mask is a hassle. Add to that the big size and swipe from bottom, I think finger gymnastics reach a new level for me.

Fourth - Wow, flat screen. Where have you been? Samsung please, please stop curving your screens.

Others - I'm glad I paid for a Dr Fone whatsapp transfer.

I'm eagerly waiting for a cheap case + tempered glass from Shopee.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Don't think you should regret with regular 12. You will appreciate the battery life and the screen size. I was thinking the same as you before.

Try to get thin case like apple cases or spigen thin fit for better handling. Last resort you can always utilise reachability.

Really love iphone 12 battery life.  Could last me a day 

Not sure i wfh now, i charge my iphone twice. Of course, keep scrolling hahaha

my record is 2 days without a charge (wifi only without cellular)

tbh i also think that regular iphone 12 screen size is a bit too big. iphone x/xs screen size is in my sweet spot. however that doesnt really bother me coz im satisfied with the battery life and the screen (tho the screen sometimes still giving me headache due to PWM @_@)

black on black. so far never moved on from apple cases as they provide enough protection without being bulky, tho the price is a bit too high sad.gif

anyone thinking to swap your 12 mini 256 with my regular 12 128? tongue.gif

turns out for my usage the battery of regular 12 is a bit 'overkill' and i appreciate the smaller form factor
