Boring but need advice - iPhone!

Need new phone.

Got an iPhone X, I had an 11 but DH upgraded and I found his X a much better size than 11 - so sold this. I have now broken this phone.....

The size of the 12 and 13 ate just too big...I carry small bags, have small hands etc, the only option is a mini.

My eyesight is rubbish and I use my phone A LOT!

Will I get frustrated with the mini? Or shall I just get a hobby and stop going on my phone so much.....Grin

Go and have a look at the range.

Get another X?

BluebellsGreenbells · 19/03/2022 12:12

Have yours fixed?

Got a 12 mini here, very happy. Had an ancient 5s before and it’s a little bigger but not much. Wanted something easy to fit in pockets. Display is excellent.

I had a 12 mini and loved it but then I lost it 😔

Having ithe x fixed and giving it to youngest

I'm getting a new phone for very little because of a deal so it's worth me getting a new one.

Just wondered if any mini users are happy or disappointed with theirs?

Just check the order time if you order a 12 mini. Ordered my upgrade, they didn’t tell me about the 6 week wait at the time. I’m with Virgin.

I have an SE -same screen size as the 8 but smaller phone overall and lighter too. Has the innards of an 11 but retained the home button (rather than the swipe up and Face ID, both of which drive me potty)

12 mini here, it's perfect sized

Holothane · 19/03/2022 13:46

I’ve got the .13, not the mini and love it and yes I’m nose on screen large print as well.

12 mini here too, I love the size & it's fairly light as well. I had a 7 before so I have more screen for the same size phone.

procrastinationstations · 19/03/2022 16:18

So worried I'm going to find the mini too small - I love the size of the x but all the other iphones are so much bigger....

I love my 13 mini but the new SE is well worth considering.

I also have the SE and it's a good size, imo.

Are the 12 and 13 so much bigger than the X? I went from an XR to a 12 and DH has just gone from an XR to a 13. We compared sizes. The 12 and 13 sit on top of the XR.

I have a 13 mini and it’s perfect for me I upgraded from a 8 so it’s a similar size
I’d suggest going to either an Apple shop or a phone shop and seeing for yourself

I have the iPhone 13 Mini and it's really good.
