FAQs
Is the iPhone 12 mini still worth buying in 2025?
Yes, especially if you love compact phones. It runs the latest iOS 18 smoothly, has excellent cameras, 5G support, and a premium OLED display. Refurbished units are widely available at great prices (~$200–$350 depending on storage and condition).
What iOS version does it support?
Ships with iOS 14, currently runs iOS 18, and is expected to receive major updates through at least iOS 19 (2026) and security patches beyond that—Apple typically supports devices for 6–7 years.
How is the battery life?
The 2227mAh battery lasts about 10–12 hours of mixed use (browsing, social media, video calls). Heavy users may need a midday top-up, but 20W fast charging gets it to 50% in ~30 minutes. Battery health on refurbished units is usually 80–90%+ from reputable sellers.
Is the performance still good?
Absolutely—the A14 Bionic chip is fast for everyday tasks, gaming (e.g., Genshin Impact at medium settings), and editing. It handles iOS 18 features like Apple Intelligence (limited on 4GB RAM models) reasonably well.
How are the cameras in 2025?
Still excellent for a small phone: dual 12MP setup with Night mode, Deep Fusion, and 4K Dolby Vision video. Photos are sharp and vibrant; it outperforms many mid-range Android phones in computational photography.
