The iFixit team already has the new iPhone 12 mini in their hands and the headline could easily be: "Precision and miniaturization to the maximum in the iPhone 12 mini". The Cupertino firm always has hidden details inside its devices and in this new iPhone 12 mini model we can say that They have been squeezed to the maximum to bring all the technology into a device with a 5,4-inch screen.
Less battery, same cameras and a score of 6 out of 10 in repair level
As expected, this new iPhone 12 mini model is smaller in everything and the battery could not be less. In this case, what iFixit did was compare the iPhone 12 with the 12 mini in some aspects and, as expected, the battery added in the min is 8,57 Wh So it is less than the 10,78 Wh of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, but at the same time it is greater than those used in the 2020 iPhone SE, which has a 6,96 Wh battery.
A detail to take into account in these tousles is the possibility of repairing the phone in case of failure and in this case the 6 out of 10 is not a bad mark either. Display and battery get the better of it with an easy option to replace, but The glass on the back of these iPhone 12 and 12 mini is the part that we have to avoid breaking according to iFixit since it could mean having to change the whole terminal.
Like all new iPhones it is waterproof and this can be a problem at the time of repair, since resealing the iPhone seems like an impossible task. This is the same for all waterproof electronic devices so there is no need to be alarmed either.
The rest of the components are in accordance with the size and Apple reduced the dimensions of the Taptic Engine, eliminating several spaces between the cameras that are seen in the iPhone 12 and has a little more asymmetry in the location of internal components due to the small size in general.
