-iphone 12 mini
-ios 17.5.1
I’ve been a fan of small smartphones since my old SE2016. The portability and how comfortable they are to use for a guy with small hands like me makes them a no brainer. After a couple of upgrade cycles I went from SE1 to 7 and then SE2.
3 years ago I was in need of an Android phone so I got a pixel 6A, which felt borderline too big but it wasn’t so heavy so it was ok; until its screen failed and got replaced by a regular 6. I guess I just dealt with it and ended up using the pixel as my main with an SE as a secondary until last week.
But still, I wasn’t completely comfortable and I had a couple of near misses where my phone almost fell of my pocket while riding my bike. Most of the time I was just taking the SE instead of the pixel.
So a couple of days ago I decided it was enough and just sold it. I found this 128gb blue 12 mini locally and just had to get it. No swapped parts, original battery and fine condition. Eventually will swap the battery and I hope to get at least two years of more out of it. The only bummer is that it was already updated to iOS 26 but it doesn’t run all that bad.
Size is just about right and I have any of the app optimization problems that my SE gets. I couldn’t be happier!
