I somehow forgot to share my 12 mini experience/review. I have had it for almost 2 months now. It basically is what I always wanted to have in a phone, including size. I'm a fan. I'm still really enjoying it. The cameras, size, and experience works well. As for the battery life, it is better than the SE for sure!
As I posted in the purchase thread, I got the purple. I'm glad that I chose this color. As for the MagSafe, I might be interested for long term cases but this does work for activities or I just do a top off if I will be out and social for an extended time. I still think it's petty that they didn't include the brick. With the 13 mini being announced now, I'm not interested at this time. I would go to it if it's confirmed to be the last mini phone they make.
