I wish the iphone 12 mini was smaller :/ Seems like the best option for us compact loving people though
Yes Im being hyperbolic, battery life at full load is going to suffer tremendously, especially when you consider the degradation of battery performance over the years.
I can't wait to get my hands on a Mini, but there's no doubt in my mind that the battery life will be a step backward. That's the trade-off.
I had a 6S and I couldn't stand the battery life (or size). "Down"graded to a 2016 SE and the battery life was leaps and bounds better -- plus, it didn't shut itself off outside on cold days.
Based on Apple's spec page, it does look like the Mini has worse battery life than the 12. The real question is:
- how is standby battery life?
and
- what kind of impact does 5G have?
The number's on Apple's site are a great deal better than the 2020 SE's battery life, so I think we might have a good balance here. Hopefully.
Try to run Instagram today on an iPhone 6, you won't be able to even scroll a feed of static images smoothly without hitching. Imagine what it is doing to the battery.
