One of the compromises of the small size is battery life. The iPhone 12 mini has the same A14 Bionic processor and 4GB of RAM as the iPhone 12 and iPad Air, and so has the same class-leading performance, as well as 5G – you are not sacrificing speed or power for the small size.

There are many benefits to having a small phone, including being a lot easier to use it one-handed and fit in pockets, but there are also some downsides.
