- iPhone 12 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
In summary
The iPhone 12 Mini has unique dimensions for a contemporary smartphone. Hardly any other device is so small and light. The specifications are also excellent. The beautiful new design features the same fast SOC, 5G antennas and modern camera as in the ‘normal’ iPhone 12. The OLED screen is also many times better than that of previous small iPhones. When it comes to battery life, you give up something, but that is simply part of the decision you make when you choose this size.

In summary
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the most ultimate iPhone of 2020, with the longest battery life, the largest screen and the best camera of all new models. Although it is overtaken by the competition in certain aspects, the camera system is still among the top in other parts. The 12 Pro Max is probably not cheap, but the additional price compared to the less luxurious iPhone 12 Pro is limited. Unless you think the 12 Pro Max is really too big, we would go for this device if the Pro features appeal to you.

The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max complete Apple’s smartphone lineup for 2020. Recent discussed we already have the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, which the manufacturer from Cupertino released first. Those were fine smartphones with a beautiful new design, but the 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max are actually the most interesting options of the foursome. The extremes in the line-up have appealing characteristics, not only in terms of price, but also in terms of size and other features.
To start with the iPhone 12 Mini: fans of small smartphones in recent years have had to watch with sorrow how the average device keeps getting bigger, thicker and heavier. Even Apple, which traditionally produces fairly compact smartphones, no longer had a really small model in the range. In 2020 this will change with the iPhone 12 Mini. Well, it’s slightly bigger than the original 2016 SE, the smallest iPhone still supported at the moment. But compared to the current offer in the smartphone market, the iPhone 12 Mini has unique dimensions. With a starting price of 809 euros, the iPhone 12 Mini is also the cheapest model within the iPhone 12 series.
Top model iPhone 12 Pro Max is the largest device that Apple has ever presented, with an OLED screen that has a diagonal of 6.7 inches. The design looks the same as that of the iPhone 12 Pro that we discussed earlier, but if you look closely, the camera island on the back is a lot bigger. The 12 Pro Max is the only one in the series to have a new, larger sensor for the primary camera and a telecamera with more magnification. Although the price has not increased compared to last year, the 1259 euros that you have to deposit at least for Apple’s top model remains of course a lot of money. For whom are the extremes in the new line-up interesting?
