iPhone 12 mini Meet the iPhone 12 mini! To everyone’s great surprise, when Apple lifted the lid on the iPhone 12, they also unveiled a smaller version of the phone; the iPhone mini. It packs the same great power too. On 13th October 2020, Apple lifted the lid on the new 12-series iPhones, including the new compact model, the iPhone 12 mini. Featuring a beautiful new design and packed with innovative features such as the A14 Bionic processor, an advanced dual-camera system and a Super Retina XDR display with the Ceramic Shield front cover, it takes Apple’s smartphone range to the next level.

It’s this that has allowed Apple to reduce the size of the bezel, allowing a bigger screen without enlarging the phone’s footprint. “Our new custom Apple OLED [Organic Light Emitting Diode] has many advantages over LCD [Liquid Crystal Display],” explained Kaiann Drance, VP, iPhone Product Marketing. “Each OLED pixel has its own light which can…

iPhone 12 mini Mag-Safe Wireless Charging We all love our wireless chargers, but now Apple has made them even better. When charging your iPhone wirelessly, using a Qi-charger, it’s easy to misalign the phone and the charging mat so your phone charges slower, or not at all. The 12-series iPhones take wireless charging to the next level and do away with this problem using a new technology called MagSafe. MagSafe improves the wireless charging experience. Apple’s industry-unique wire-wound coil now accommodates magnets, so any MagSafe charging accessory can simply snap onto the back of the phone. There’s no danger of misalignment, and if a MagSafe charging mat is knocked, chances are the iPhone won’t slide off. Compatibility with existing Qi chargers is maintained; you can still use a 12-series iPhone…
