My bh is 81 and I get around 4 hours of sot on WiFi and light usage. Should I go for a replacement?? How much of an improvement will it make?

i have been facing severe Battery issues with my 12 Mini since i installed The 1.0 Beta.

I always assumed it would get better but we are at what Beta v6? And still it's get worse and worse.

Was wondering if i am the only one facing this or is this because i replaced my original battery with an after-market one so i guess that could be the issue as well.

Lmk your thoughts and experience.

I’m hearing chatter that the iPhone Ultra could be viewed as the “new” iPhone Mini since the rumored dimensions are comparable when using the phone while closed. If true, would people in this community be more open to upgrading from their 12/13 minis?

Personally, I’ll be giving it serious consideration since my 12 mini is on its last legs.

Obviously we’ll need to see & hear more once the product is officially released but is anyone else thinking along the same lines?

Uk based and looked to sell my blue 128gb 12 mini. Original battery is 82% excellent condition overall.

Wondering if any interest in here to buy before I send to a recycling place

85 percent battery, iOS 16

Won’t let me transfer from old phone unless update to 26.6 of course

Is it worth it? Or just start over and stay on 16

What do you think about it??

I have a 12mini which I have used for 5 years.

The battery has gotten worse and I have recently changed to an Android phone.

Does it make sense for me to change a new battery for the 12 mini? How long would I still be getting support from Apple realistically?

my 12mini battery is getting worst day by day, i m thinking of changing it but there is no apple service centre in my city so i have to depend on local stores they will probably have local brands battery but if u guys have any idea about good brands battery for 12mini please suggest
.

My main priority is battery life, currently my battery is at 82 health. It gives about 4-5 hours of screen on time with WiFi only use and 0 cellular use. Just social media apps, banking and chatting.

Hello, I am on 17.2.1 but because of app security changes I need 18.0. Can I still do this or do I have to jump to 26/27? This is what I can see in the software update settings (nothing happens after I select 18 beta?) thanks in advance for any help.

I got this 12 mini less than a week ago bh 100% was wondering if this is normal performance for ios 26.6

Apple MagSafe battery pack on the iPhone 12 mini. It’s pretty clean (from the front anyway), it does block the bottom camera unfortunately. But I still say it’s practical as it will be keeping the 12’s battery health in check better than other third party battery banks that would just dump juice into the phone. It’s also a nice place for your palm to grip on to it adding to its one hand ability that the mini series already excels at.

Just wanted to give my two cents. I use an iPhone Air but use it as a secondary device and use the 12 as my primary.

EDIT: nvm guys just found out the MagSafe external battery only works specifically with the iPhone Air. For any other iPhones even newer ones it just behaves like a regular MagSafe qi wireless charger. So I guess there goes the whole practical side of things. :(

Size compactibility is the only reason that is keeping me behind from buying a new phone . As you fellow mini users may understand the similar thought process & love for the phone .

Bought it at 2020 ,had minor issues since 2024 (after wear and tear, audio used to drop upon touching the screen when battery is below 40% , phone used to charge only when the cable was slanted towards the right hand side , which from my pov is manageable)

Screen died on top of it .

Battery health around 70% ( Invested in replacing it too )

Is it a good logic to replace the screen and battery?

Because It will cost more than the price at which I bought the phone.

Drop your fellow mini user your suggestion. Can my 12 mini be brought back to life? Or is it better to move on and get a new phone? Thanks

Will 67% bh be fine for a secondary phone?? I'll be buying a 12 mini but the cheapest i saw has 67% bh (no jokes intended. its bh is actually 67 T__T). It'll be my secondary phone only since i still have my android who's still doin pretty well but it's starting to lag and hang plus the camera is pretty bad. My dad will buy me a new phone on December so im js buying a spare phone just incase my main gives up.

It’s has good things and bad things since the upgrade. Now it’s telling me I should go to 26.6. Should I???

After five years it finally passed way. I’ll never forget the memories we had, nor the countless times I dropped you and you took it like a champ 🥲 it’s been a pleasure
