the iPhone 12 mini let's talk battery life so I know that's like kind of like the big topic
for the iPhone 12 mini is either the screen's too small it feels like a toy
or the battery life has to be awful because of how small it is you know the bigger bigger phones they
have bigger battery life so the little phones must have awful battery life and I mean even Apple came
out with saying that I believe it's like an hour to two hours depending on the difference
of what you're doing that the the max and the pro models can do over what the wonderful
mini does but I mean there's trade-offs because I can hold this phone with one hand
and it's wonderful like I love using this phone so for me the battery life
being a little less is worth it today marks 10 months with the iPhone 12 mini as well
if you didn't know and then tomorrow is the Apple event thank you thank you
thank you wow we're gonna get some new iPhones or at least looks of them and pre-orders will
probably be later this week but until then like and there is also a rumor let me just say that
that the iPhone 13 or 12 s whatever they decide to call it mini is going to have a larger battery
that would be wonderful especially if the other ones don't get it so then it puts the iPhone 13
mini whatever they call it like I said who knows it's probably gonna be 13. it puts it back on par
with the others but most likely they'll all get bigger batteries and
the iPhone 12 mini will still be the on man out as far as battery life goes every year around
this time when the new iPhones are coming out I get my phone prepared ready to sell
because that's what I do I never really keep my old hardware other than like the first items
so this one will be going up for sale very soon locally and so I always look at the
battery health because when you go to sell one the higher the battery health is if you didn't
know you can actually go into the settings app and then under battery there's a battery health option
and it just kind of gives you you know how much your battery has degraded over the time of use
now normally I am somewhere in a 94 to 96 percent after a year so I thought hey it's only been 10
months with the iPhone mini so I should be pretty good right no not at all really I was at 89
when I checked this and I was just like what that just doesn't seem right because this phone
is it's only been 10 months and I mean I know the battery is smaller
and usually smaller phones they just you know that smaller batteries degrade faster that's why like
they don't even show it on the ipads just because the ipads have this massive battery and it can
handle degrading better and you don't notice it as well because you got all-day battery life for
10 hours or whatever it is but when it comes to a phone you notice it and they put that on there
after all the press that they got and yeah I'm just it hurts it hurts because I was expecting
at least 92 like I mean thinking about battery life and everything and if you didn't know also
you after like if you drop below 80% or maybe even 80 or below Apple will replace the battery
especially if you have Apple care within the first two years if you drop below that
they will replace it I'm pretty sure they don't even charge you because normally with
AppleCare you can get it replaced for about $30-$40 bucks somewhere in that price range
and I'm just like I don't know what to do like I could possibly pay and have Apple replace it
that way when I sell it I can say 100 battery or I just sell it as is it's a trade-off and it's
trade-off that I'm willing to accept because I love this phone it's amazing and it's just
wonderful so but I i thought let me contact Apple so I messaged them up through the messenger app
you know they had the Apple support gives you a way to just kind of basically text with them
so I text them just to see because every once in a while Apple's support can be completely awesome
but a lot of times lately especially it's just not it's not that good at all and so
I contacted them and I was like hey you know my battery's a little less than I think it should be
here's the stats and all that kind of stuff they did a diagnostic I said usually I'm at 94% to 96%
and you know it's at 88% which seems crazy in less than a year and they said well it looks
normal to us you know and then they said well we do see that you're running the beta I said yeah
I always do I'm a developer it's just the way my life works because I want to see what's new and
develop apps with new stuff I said oh that's understandable but what we have noticed
is that the beta will degrade the battery life faster and I was like what like really like
that doesn't make sense like first thoughts that doesn't make sense that just seems like a full-out
and I still kind of believe it was the way they wanted it was just awful i'll put it up here
like how they wanted it and I was just like they should have explained it better because you know
I thought about it more and I thought well the battery life is harder you're charging your phone
probably more often the more times you charge it you know the more it degrades your battery but
still in case like I'm usually at 94% to 96% with my use case I don't feel like my use case has changed
my work life schedule has been the same forever and I honestly just believe smaller battery
degrades faster so keep that in mind when you are buying the phone is that you know it's less
and it's just going to keep getting less as you use it and it might get less a little bit
faster than the larger ones because I even contacted a friend that had the 12 pro max
and his was at like 98% and he's had his just as long he picked his up the day I picked mine up
I'm like man it's gotta be nice to be you but not really because I love this phone it's small and
beautiful and wonderful and it's a trade-off I'm willing to accept unless like a pro model has some
big feature that the mini doesn't I plan to buy the 13 12 s whatever they call it mini like it's
just it's the best so I hope this has helped if it did please hit that thumbs up if you really liked
it hit that subscribe button and i'll see you guys in the next one there's a lot of stuff going on
this week so I will be uploading probably multiple videos this week so have a great week God bless
