iPhone 12 mini review: Small, fast and perfect for some users

 On these pages, we earlier reviewed the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Today, we complete our roundup of the iPhone 12 series with this review of the iPhone 12 mini, the baby phone in the pack. Or as some would call it, the pocket rocket of the iPhone world, given how it shares its hardware with the other iPhone series phones. In fact, when it comes to the core hardware, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini are similar, except the size and a couple of parts like the screen, battery, and - something I found while using the 12 mini - the stereo speakers.

In other words, what Apple is proposing with this phone is this: if you want a top-end smartphone but in a size that is closer to your old iPhone like the iPhone 7 or iPhone 5s, in 2020 the iPhone 12 mini is what you should buy.

Lightest 5G phone

Apple terms the iPhone 12 mini the lightest 5G smartphone in the world. This is a claim that checks out. The iPhone 12 mini weighs just 133 grams, which is 30 grams lighter than the iPhone 12. It is even lighter than the Google Pixel 4A, a phone made of plastic with a metal frame, which is a surprise given that the iPhone 12 mini uses a metal and glass body. The reason why it is so light is its screen size. The 12 mini has a 5.4-inch screen, something that also makes the phone extremely compact. So compact that it is smaller than even the iPhone SE 2nd Gen, which has a screen size of 4.7-inch. Let's not get lost in the numbers, though. The key part here is that the iPhone 12 mini completely, totally, is a proven way, without any doubt, justifies the "mini" in its name. It is a small and light phone that anyone with somewhat smaller hands will appreciate.

iPhone 12 mini camera performance

The iPhone 12 mini has the same camera system that is in the iPhone 12, and the performance is almost the same. To recap: there are three cameras on the phone. On the front, there is a 12-megapixel camera. On the rear, there is a regular camera with a 12-megapixel sensor, and then a 12-megapixel camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens.

Here are the top features:

-- The portrait mode works on both front and rear cameras. And so does the Night Mode.

-- 4K video recording in up to 60FPS in standard colour format. If you wish to record the Dolby Vision video with 10-bit HDR colours, the frame rate drops to 30FPS.

-- The main camera has optical image stabilisation.

Artificial Intelligence: Mankind's Worst Invention

  It could be terrible and it could be great. It's not clear. Right But one thing is for sure, we will not control it. Go is arguably the most complex board game in existence Its goal is simple Surround more territory than your opponent This game has been played by humans for the past 2,500 years And is thought to be the oldest board game still being played today However, it's not only humans that are playing this game now In 2016, Google DeepMind's AlphaGo beat 18-time world champion Lee Sedol in four out of five games Now, normally a computer beating a human at a game like chess or checkers wouldn't be that impressive But Go is different Go cannot be solved by brute force Go cannot be predicted There are over 10 to the 170 moves possible in Go To put that into perspective  There are only 10 to the 80 atoms in the observable universe AlphaGo was trained using data from real human Go games It ran through millions of games and learned the techniques used and even made up

These simple steps will help you stop checking your phone so much

  I spend way too much time on my phone, and you probably do too. “Most people check their phone every 15 minutes or less, even if they have no alerts or notifications,” Larry Rosen, psychology professor and author of  The Distracted Mind , tells CNBC. “We’ve built up this layer of anxiety surrounding our use of technology, that if we don’t check in as often as we think we should, we’re missing out.” Rosen’s research has shown that besides increasing anxiousness, the compulsion to check notifications and feeds interferes with people’s ability to focus. Besides the wasted time, there’s also the psychological grind that comes from spending too much time on your phone.  Several studies  have shown  social media can be  bad for  your mental health , and  Facebook  admitted last year that passive use of its social network can  leave people in negative moods . Researchers are still trying to figure out what long-term effects channeling  so much time   and energy  into our devices will cause.
