iPHONE 12 MINI
64GB SPACE GREY
Blast past fast.
5G speed. A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone.
An edge-to-edge OLED display. Ceramic Shield with four times better drop performance. And Night mode on every camera. iPhone 12 has it all — in two perfect sizes.
The world’s smallest,
thinnest, lightest 5G phone.

Ceramic Shield.
Clearly tougher than any smartphone glass.
4x better drop performance
iPhone already had the toughest glass in a smartphone. So to dramatically increase the durability of iPhone 12, we had to introduce an all-new material. We’ve quadrupled the drop performance — the largest year-on-year improvement ever for iPhone.
Sounds simple, but it’s incredibly difficult because ceramic isn’t transparent. By controlling the type of crystals and degree of crystallinity, we developed an exclusive formula that maximises the toughness of the ceramic while remaining optically clear.
Tough is great, but we also wanted to make it scratch-resistant. So, using the same dual ion-exchange process we use on the back glass, we protect against nicks, scratches, and everyday wear and tear.
Aerospace-grade aluminium edges
H2OK
Even better spill and splash resistance
Five fresh finishes
5G speed
OMGGGGG.
We engineered custom antennas and radio components for high sensitivity and incredible efficiency. Then we gave iPhone 12 the most 5G bands of any smartphone, so you’ll get 5G in more places.
We looked at our entire software stack — from applications to system level frameworks — and optimised it to take advantage of 5G. For example, many apps can benefit from 5G without using additional power.
5G on iPhone isn’t just faster, it’s smarter too. When your iPhone doesn’t need 5G speeds, like when it’s making updates in the background, it automatically uses LTE to save battery life. But as soon as speed does matter — if you’re downloading a season of your favourite show — iPhone 12 jumps to 5G. Of course, you can also choose to use 5G whenever it’s available.
We also teamed up with network providers and performed extensive engineering and testing to optimise 5G networks.
NEW A14 Apple Chip
A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone.
And it pushes what’s possible. Like crunching trillions of operations on the Neural Engine. Or shooting in Dolby Vision — even pro movie cameras can’t do that. It’s super-efficient for great battery life. And it’s ahead of its time, prepared to power pretty much anything that comes next.
Same chip as iPhone 12 Pro
Super Retina XDR display
Behold OLED.
iPhone 12 has all kinds of powerful new features — like 4K Dolby Vision video recording and super-detailed HDR photos — that require an advanced screen to experience fully. So we gave it our best: the Super Retina XDR display.
Vastly more contrast. Incredible colour accuracy. A huge jump in pixel density.
Wow. Just wow. OLED delivers brighter brights, darker blacks, and higher resolution for everything you look at. This is the best iPhone display we’ve ever made, and it goes all the way to the edge.
Unlike LCDs, which use a backlight to illuminate all the pixels at once, OLED pixels each emit their own light. They can be completely turned off to produce true blacks, or light up all the way to 1,200 nits for HDR content. That’s how you get a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The difference is dramatic.
Texts and emails are noticeably sharper. All your photos and videos — even old favourites — will look more true to life than ever. And things like fire explosions and intergalactic battles in movies are hyper-detailed, super-bright and deeply dark in all the right places.
Dual-camera system
Welcome to the dark side
Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras now have Night mode — and it’s better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. The new Wide camera brings in 27 per cent more light. So whether you take photos by daylight or by moonlight, you’ll get a level of detail and colour that wasn’t possible before.
Night mode senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautiful vibrant colour. All you have to do is start snapping.
Photos that were once hard to capture — like a dramatic moonlit scene — now come out sharper than ever.
Deep Fusion, in mid to low light, analyses multiple exposures to maximise detail. Check out the texture in the wood, fabric and crystal. And the Ultra Wide gets you a heroic perspective.
Smart HDR 3 balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich colour of the sky — even at high noon. Beyond faces, Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning to recognise scenes, then adjusts sharpness, colour and white balance where needed. Even in bright light, Smart HDR 3 is amazing at capturing texture, skin tone, colour saturation and individual details that make photos feel true to life.
Face it. Nothing beats Portrait mode.
Portrait mode is even better at artfully blurring the background to put all the focus on your subject. Lovely, isn’t it?
Take great photos even further by choosing from six creative lighting effects, like High‑Key Light Mono, Natural Light and Studio Light.
Video. Low lights. Camera.
How do you improve on the highest-quality video in a smartphone? Make it even better in low light — a full 27 per cent better. That means no hour is off limits for more beautifully detailed video. Then there’s Night mode Time-lapse. Just prop up your iPhone and let the light trails begin.
And boom.
You own a film studio.
Now you can record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision. Edit in Photos or iMovie. Then zap it to your TV using AirPlay to see all that colour and detail. It’s a start-to-finish cinematic experience — found only on iPhone. Which comes in handy when your dog does something adorable.
First camera ever to record in Dolby Vision
Night mode selfies
Look your best. Even in the dark.
Night-time is the right time for a selfie. Because Night mode and a slew of other great features are now on the front camera. Like Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, Dolby Vision recording and more.
MagSafe accessories
Everything just clicks
Beautifully stackable.
Snap on a new MagSafe case, wallet, or both. (Fear not, the wallet is shielded so it’s safe for credit cards.)
Turbo chargeable.
Magnets align themselves perfectly every time for faster wireless charging.
Mix and matchable.
Looks brand new.
Feels like home.
iOS 14 brings a fresh look to the things you do most often, making them easier than ever. New features help you get what you need in the moment. And the apps you use all the time become even more intelligent, more personal and more private.
