In this video, we're going to be doing something a little different. We're going to be unboxing the
iPhone 12 mini silicone case and see what it's like and do some size comparisons to Apple's
previous devices such as the iPhone 6s, 5s and also the iPhone 4 as the iPhone 12 has
the essence of that design within it. So let's cut over to the GoPro and take a closer look.
So, first of all, let's peel this tab off here to get into the case and just open this here and
pull that out. And there is the case, let's put that down for a second because there is
some documentation included within here. You have a little booklet which is just warning
you about medical device interference because this case does contain the new MagSafe stuff,
there's a ring of magnets which will connect to wireless chargers and various accessories
companies are making. The MagSafe stuff is pretty cool and it's interesting to see
what accessories are coming out as companies start to take a closer look into it.
Here is the case itself, I think we just pull this off here, yep, and take off this
cover here and here is the case itself. So let's just hold this up to the main camera
and here it is. We've got the big cutout for the cameras in the top left of the case and the Apple
logo in the middle. If we flip it over we see the MagSafe ring there. If we bring this over
to the GoPro, you can see it here, a row of magnets and there's also a magnet underneath
that will align with the MagSafe charger and the other accessories such as the wallet which
doesn't look that great, to be honest. I've seen that Moment, who make a bunch of camera lenses
for iPhones, are bringing out a couple of cool accessories in the coming months such as a tripod
and hot shoe mount for phones as well, so that's very cool. So let's just take a look at here,
this little document just shows you how to put your phone into the case.
That's pretty self-explanatory. But that is all that's included with the MagSafe case.
Taking a look around, we have the big power button here, I'm using an iPhone 6s so there are
some differences, the power button on the iPhone 12 mini looks to be much larger than the power
button on the iPhone 6s. We also have no headphone jack, as expected, but I'm coming from an iPhone
6s again. So we have the microphone and speaker cutout and also a cutout for the lightning port
and then we have volume rockers and a cutout for the silent switch. And that is pretty much
all that the case has. So let's bring in some extra devices and see the size difference between
this and some older Apple devices. So first of all, the iPhone 6s. I've been using this for a
few years now and I'm quite looking forward to the upgrade as it's starting to show its age.
As we can see, the iPhone 6s body is actually larger than the iPhone 12 mini.
I'm quite looking forward to using a smaller device again, it's not that much smaller
than the iPhone 6s, but the screen is going to be much larger than what I'm used to.
Now, let's bring in the iPhone 5s, now this is an old trooper of Apple's and the design looks great,
still, and I'm really looking forward to going to flat sides again on phones.
Here we can see pretty much a steady decent in size. The iPhone 5s is just that bit smaller
and actually, it fits pretty snug within the iPhone 12 mini's case — there we go.
Finally, just because I had one lying around, we've got an iPhone 4. It's pretty old now but
there we go. There's your size of Apple products and it's nice to see Apple embracing smaller
phones again because the iPhone 11 was pretty big and I'm not a massive fan of large devices,
so having something that's small and pocketable and also just comfortable to use
is a big bonus. So that's been a quick look at the iPhone 12 mini's silicone case. There's going to
be an unboxing of the iPhone 12 mini coming out later this week as it is going to be arriving
and I will make sure to get that on the channel as soon as I can. For now, that's been a quick
look at the iPhone 12 mini silicone case, alongside some other Apple devices for a few size
comparisons. That's been it for this video, thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one.
