small form factor for small battery is a lie propagated by mobile companies no one asked u for paper thin mobile increase thickness of phones with bigger battery. If u cannot make them ? open a grocery store and sell undergarments 1 trillion market cap u did not deserve it.

As an android user I'm pissed and jealous!
131mm!!!
Let's hope that the chinese brands will copy the size of this device so after 10 years of struggle I'd finally be able to comfortably put my phone into my front pocket!!!
Capitalism and communism,
Android and ios...
The above mentions are all bullshit, I need something in between!

AnonD-832645, 13 Oct 2020Mini baby. Pretty sure Next year iphone 13 mini will have 5.5 inch display 👀 iPhone 13 huh? Hey 'Apple' and/or 'GSM ARENA' staff or consumers - will the iPhone 13s finally ditch or at least minimize notches?

joe nodden, 20 Oct 2020I've lost my bet? What have you got the 12 Mini sales to show me?
And no, my possessi... moreChill down mate! It is true that I don't have any sales figure to back that one but I do mention that rather than we all waste our time predicting whether this phone will flop or not let's just wait and see. Probably you are right and I am wrong but their sales figure does not have any impact whatsoever on both our lives.
But instead, you just resort to attacking me personally by telling me that I don't even have a job without any proper facts to back that up. Heck you even just assume that I am I have never contributed to the society.
Ok then, let's stop here. I wish you a good day Mr. Joe!

[deleted post]If you are a heavy user the battery will be flat by noon.
If you are a heavy user a 4.7" screen is useless for your spreadsheet.
A heavy user is simply not getting the SE 2020 not for $400, not for any price, rich or poor.
This phone is for light users or for light users whichever you prefer. Sober up your thinking please.

And no, my possession of a job doesn't relate to narcissism at all. All it means is I'm a member that contributes to society unlike you. Whether I'm a narcissist or not has nothing to do with that. Even if I was that doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

Based on your previous comment I can safely assume you are a narcissist who think you are better than anyone else and calling out names on someone who disagree with you.
Telling me that I don't have a job? lol this is hilarious.

I am reading several people complaining about the battery, but I think 2227 mah is more than enough for an iphone with a 5.4 inch oled screen. Let's not forget that iOS has good energy management for small batteries (that in android would fall short). In any case we should wait for the first reviews before criticizing! I predict arround 5-6 hs of SOT.

[deleted post]Here's the thing, If you can afford any brand new iPhone, you are not broke, probably have a decent paying job (not necessarily high pay).
iPhones, even the cheapest SE 2020 are generally quite expensive. Broke people or those with very low income will go for budget to midrange android phones. Even if they want to flex with apple brand they usually will go for older or used iPhone models.
You might wanna say that this 12 mini might not sell very well probably because of expensive price tag, the pandemic, people are jobless... etc. But judging from their past sales they are doing quite well.
Rather all of us wasting energy on predicting whether this phone will sell /not sell. Let's just wait and see shall we?

PaintNinja, 20 Oct 2020Well technically there's more than one type of 5G. If we're talking about mmWave stu... moreFirst of all, everyone is keen only about mmWave 5G. What is the use of a 5G which has the same speed of 4G. We can be with 4G instead. To be precise, 5G is not required for a mobile network. A GENUINE 4G LTE network is more than sufficient. But, most of today's 4G networks are not given full throttle, which makes everyone feel its insufficiency. 5G networks are feasible when it is used with external power supply. For battery operated devices it is not feasible. God can't save our world. We have to assume responsibilities to save it.

If we're talking about mmWave stuff, then yeah we're not going to be able to improve power consumption there by a significant amount for a long time.
The more reasonable and imo sensible sub-6ghz 5G though? Theoretically the power consumption of that could get reduced down to near 4G levels due to it being a similar frequency range but with newer and more efficient techniques applied to it, maybe even more efficient than 4G at the same speed if higher speeds isn't a priority, I'm not sure.

There will not be any battery drain issues with iPhone 12 lineups until it is not connected to a 5G network. Whatever be the case, 5G would require more power than 4G. I doubt whether it would be practically possible even tomorrow to develop power friendly 5G chips, since technology has attained its limit. Let's see.

joe nodden, 19 Oct 2020Lmao do you seriously think over $900 is cheap or something? Apple users amirite. No common se... moreThe market has already proven the SE 2020 a resounding success, all the arguments made against the SE 2020 have proven to be irrelevant to actual buyers because the market segment consists of light users wanting a comfortable to use, light and small phone that has top notch build and overall quality and operates flawlessly, specs, bezels and such: IRRELEVANT. You would be a disastrous failure in a marketing department sorry to tell you.

Mpikos, 19 Oct 202012 mini: 2227 mah 12: 2775 mah 12 pro: 2775 mah 12 pro max: 3687 mahThere's more to battery life than just raw milliamp hours. The Surface Duo is a great example of this - criticised for its low battery mAh on announcement but still lasted surprisingly longer than people expected when it actually got in the hands of reviewers and customers.

Subramanian CN, 19 Oct 2020Any mobile, whether it is Android or iOS, will have poor battery life if connected to a 5G net... moreYou're right, with any new 4G/5G/whateverG rollout it's always power hungry at first and gets better overtime. In other words, 4G had a similar battery issue when it was brand new as 5G has now.
Apple's claiming to only enable 5G functionality when they think it would be genuinely useful, rather than having the 5G modem on constantly like has been done in the past. Theoretically this should help negate the hit on battery life but we'll have to wait and see how much that actually helps.

Subramanian CN, 19 Oct 2020If there are takers for iPhone SE 2020, there'll be enough of takers for this device too ... moreThat is exactly apple's reasoning, they launched the SE to test demand for small devices, SE proved there is. Limited as the SE is it saw heavy sales.
The 12 mini is coming out because there is proven demand for the small form factor AND is a state of the art device that improves screen and battery sizes on a 135g device, almost 10% lighter than the SE 2020 and using metal and glass NOT plastic, not only that, the camera module should be heavier too. Pretty impressive.

joe nodden, 19 Oct 2020You unintelligent people still don't get it. How. Why. The SE 2020 was CHEAP. This ISN&... moreMy dear intelligent man, whatever be the case Apple products sell. They take advantage of this and are making huge profits. You might not be interested to take this MINI, but others might take this. What can you do if I'm an unintelligent fool. So be it. Thank you. Apple targets those who have deep pockets. What can be done if Apple refuses to provide budget devices. Either you have to take it, or go for Android. Apple will reduce prices only if consumers refuses to accept their products.
