- Oh, my God.
When Apple said Mini,
they meant Mini.
This phone is tiny.
I'm Andru Edwards,
it's iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max launch week,
and I just got a package from Apple.
Let's do this.
This video is brought to you by Setapp,
a cross platform suite of apps that keep you productive
and help you find your flow.
Stay tuned to find out more.
Okay, as I said, this is a package from Apple
and it's iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max launch week.
So we have a pretty good idea of what's inside.
So, let's get this guy opened up.
Now, as you probably expect,
I have a lot more iPhone 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max content
coming at you over the rest of this week,
including full reviews.
So be sure to hit that subscribe button and bell icon
to stay up to date as soon as they drop.
All right, grabbing my trustee ceramic box opener.
Let's get in here and open this up.
Go,
okay, and,
right up front,
we have some iPhones and some accessories.
First up, we've got a blue iPhone 12 Mini.
This is a,
looks like a 256 gigabyte model.
And that's here in the white box.
And underneath that in the black box,
this is the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Looks like this is the graphite color
and it has 512 gigabytes of storage.
We'll pick out, put these aside and see what else
is here in the box.
We've also got the iPhone 12 Mini MagSafe leather sleeve.
Okay, and I definitely saw a bunch of questions
about that on social media.
So we'll get those answered in this video.
For example, does this enable
an always-on display on the iPhone?
Lets find out.
There's also the iPhone 12 Pro Max
MagSafe leather case and this one is in Baltic blue.
Okay, so iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The iPhone 12 Mini starts at $729 here in the US.
Unless you get a carrier subsidy,
which brings it down to 699,
and the iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at 1099.
Now, opening these up
the unboxing experience is gonna be
similar to the 12 and 12 Pro
that I did a couple of weeks ago.
Meaning, there won't be much to this
as evidenced by these thinner boxes
that Apple's shipping it's phones in these days.
But, oh my God.
When Apple said Mini,
they meant Mini.
This phone is tiny.
But again, lemme not get distracted.
Just letting you know,
if you want a tiny phone,
the iPhone 12 Mini is your tiny phone.
Now remember, the power adapter
is no longer included in the box.
So you can pick one up from Apple for $19,
or just use whatever you were using
with your previous device.
Also in here is the USB-C to lightning cable.
There is the packet of information
with the SIM ejection tool in there.
And there's also an Apple sticker.
This is like, this is a tinier
information packet box as well.
Now putting that aside,
let's move on to the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
This one is going to be the graphite color, as I mentioned.
And, wow!
This one is
almost as impressive
due to our opposite it is from the Mini.
This is a large phone, obviously it's the Pro Max.
So it is the largest size iPhone but
this phone feels pretty substantial.
Now, same as with the iPhone 12 Mini,
we've got the USB-C to lightning cable in here
along with the little packet of information
SIM removal tool, Apple sticker.
And by the way, now I'm curious,
are these the same size because the actual paperwork
is larger in the Max when compared to the Mini.
Let's look at these stickers for a second.
Okay, put it, so the sticker paper is obviously larger but,
when you compare the size of the actual stickers themselves,
hey, they match up.
I was just here,
no one cares but me, I was curious
and now I've got the answer that I was looking for.
Okay, now that we have the iPhone 12 Mini
and the 12 Pro Max open up,
I wanna give you a look
at the leather accessories that Apple included as well.
But before I do, I wanna thank
the sponsor of this video, Setapp.
Now I've been using Setapp
for a couple of years now on my Mac.
And it's a fantastic service that
when it started gave you access to about
60 apps for a monthly fee.
Fast forward to today and Setapp now has over 200 apps
that are a part of the service, which is insane.
But even better,
they've also recently started adding iOS apps
to Setapp as well for the same 9.99 monthly fee.
That gives you access to apps like iStat Menus
which lets you monitor just about
every vital statistic on your Mac.
And also one of my favorite apps
for keeping everything running smoothly, CleanMyMac X.
This one keeps your Mac fast,
frees up disc space,
and keeps you protected from spyware and malware.
But the point of Setapp
isn't just to give you a bunch of random apps.
The right tool for just about
any tasks you're doing on your Mac
can be found in Setapp's collection.
If you're a Mac and iOS user, Setapp is a game changer,
giving you all the best apps and tools
to keep you productive and help you find your flow.

Once again, big thank you to Setapp
for sponsoring this video.
Okay, let's take a look
at the iPhone 12 Mini the leather sleeve,
and the iPhone 12 Pro Max leather case.
Now this is the saddle brown leather sleeve
which supports MagSafe
so you can keep your iPhone 12 inside of the leather sleeve
and also charge it on a MagSafe charger.
However, this is not a MagSafe case that I'd slap
a MagSafe wallet on the back of.
But it does look like there's a little wallet
pouch in the front area to store your cards.
Now, one interesting thing about this is that
you can see the time
and maintain access to the earpiece
when the iPhone 12 Mini is in the sleeve.
You can also do a raise to wake to see the time,
or tap on the display through this little window.
And as I said earlier, just in case you're wondering,
no, this doesn't let you keep showing the time constantly.
So it doesn't enable an always-on display mode.
Now, if we lift it up,
we also see that it does also light up the entire screen
where you check the time.
So it's not just the area
in the little window that gets lit up.
There's also this strap
that you can attach to it at the bottom,
which keeps the iPhone upside down and secure.
The iPhone 12 leather sleeve will sell for $129
when it goes on sale later this year.
And that price is applicable to all sizes of the case,
whether you have an iPhone 12 Mini,
12, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max.
Then there's the iPhone 12 Pro Max leather case
with MagSafe.
This is gonna sell for $69.
And that price also applies to all sizes.
So if you get a leather case for your Mini,
your 12, your 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max,
$69 across the board.
Now this is your traditional iPhone leather case.
I know some people were wondering if there was a cutout
near the bottom, like on Apple's clear cases
and there is not.
This is more similar to what you get
with the MagSafe silicone cases,
just a little more luxurious.
And there you have it, that is your look
at the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The polar opposites of each other,
when looking at the iPhone 12 lineup.
They are available to pre-order right now
and they are shipping to customers
beginning on November 13th.
If you're interested,
I will have links down in the description below.
We'll have even more on the entire iPhone 12 lineup
coming up on Geared Up.
Geared Up is a show I do each week with Jon Rettinger,
where we take a look at the latest in tech,
gadgets, and games,
just search for Geared Up in your favorite podcast player,
if you want to listen.
Thanks so much for watching.
And as always guys, I appreciate your support.
I'm Andru Edwards, and I'll catch you in the next video.
