Why I HATE the iPhone 12 Mini

Daniel chose the iPhone 12 mini for affordability, compactness, pocketability, and one-handed handling, despite rarely needing optical zoom. He praises flat, boxy design and responsiveness over the S10+, but criticizes smudges, Face ID, gesture interference, and battery life. He calls it his best phone, may trade in for iPhone 13 next year, and acknowledges quickly replacing earlier iPhones.

His review prioritizes usability and aesthetics over incremental specifications, continuing his practical, design-sensitive consumer criticism.
