Apple iPhone 12 mini review: The perfect small phone

A couple of years back, a colleague wanted me to suggest a replacement for his iPhone 5c. That phone had run its due and he wanted a new phone, but with a strange request: the new phone had to be the same size. It was a tough choice for me: I could suggest the iPhone SE, which was about the same size, but already old, or the iPhone 7 which was newer and had a better processor and camera. He ultimately settled, unwillingly, for the iPhone 7, almost half an inch bigger than his last phone. But my colleague is not alone and there are many others who just hate large phones for a variety of reasons. And this is exactly the crowd the new iPhone 12 mini will aim to please.
