I had the 12 mini. Perfect size, but awful battery life due to how thin they decided to make it. Give me a mini with more than half-day battery life and I'll queue on release day.

Stop. Making. Things. Thinner.

If they just made the 12/13 mini ever so slightly thicker, it would obviate the camera bump and improve the battery life. /shrug I don't get.

And it was so fragile and slippery that its 7.4mm thickness was wasted as I had to buy a thick-ish case.
