A few days ago, Apple came up with a series of new models, namely, the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the iPhone 12 mini. The leading smartphone company claimed that its newest model, iPhone 12 mini, is the smallest, lightest, and thinnest 5G phone in the world. In its official commercial, the device looked extremely small as compared to most phones. But, is it really that small in size?
The iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch display, which is smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S20’s 6.2-inch display, Google Pixel 5’s 6-inch display, and other phones of recent times. However, the market for small phones isn’t dead yet!
