Is the Mini iPhone 12 really small?

The iPhone 12 Mini is actually small. With flat aluminum sides and a glossy glass back, the iPhone 12 Mini looks like a premium version of the iPhone 5, which is absolutely a good thing. In fact, it isn't much bigger than an iPhone 5 and it's smaller than the 2020 iPhone SE.

What iPhone is the 12 mini the same size as?

It sells two different phones with small displays: The iPhone SE, which received a massive redesign in 2020 and an update in March 2022, and two models of the iPhone mini, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, which are about the same size as the SE.

What's the size difference between iPhone XR and 12?

As you can see from the image below, the iPhone 12 is a fraction shorter and narrower than the iPhone XR. Here's how the dimensions compare: iPhone 12 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.4mm (162g) iPhone XR 150.9mm x 75.7mm x 8.3mm (194g)
