What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4.5/5Jan 25, 2023

A genuinely small flagship with full iPhone 12 performance and camera, though weaker battery life and an irritating notch on the small screen make it a niche pick for those…

  • Compact, very pocket-friendly and light design
  • Same A14 Bionic performance as larger iPhone 12 models
  • Camera performance matches the full iPhone 12
  • OLED display with Dolby Vision and HLG HDR support
  • IP68 water resistance
  • Battery life notably worse than other iPhone 12 models
  • Notch feels more distracting on the smaller screen
  • 60Hz refresh rate only
  • No charger included in the box
  • Base storage of 64GB feels light
