Yeah! I had a 5S. I loved that little guy. Another reason I got the mini for the angles like the 5S. How much bigger is it? 13 is okay. But I should make it go back to 5S size

The phone sizes aren't that much different.

5: 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm

12 mini: 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.4 mm

The more important difference is, the 12 mini screen is 5.42" diagonal instead of 4" like the 5. This is maybe marketed as a benefit, but it means I can't comfortably reach the entire screen during one-handed use.

The more important difference is 58.6mm vs 64.2mm width. 5.6 mm is a lot.

I can't hold phones with >68mm width reliably and drop them constantly. I just wish vendors can make small (or long, like Sony) phones.

Mmm, yeah I thought they felt similar. A little different. Screen size, yeah maybe that affects the reach of the finger. Gotta keep the hands loose and clean, not get them twisted up. Thanks! :) ;p xx ;p

I still use my SE (first gen) which is the same form factor. I love this phone, and I regret the day it’ll be so far behind the latest supported iOS that I have to stop using it.

I regret not buying an original SE instead of my 12 mini. Was in too much of a rush to comb the used market.

SE is still the only one with touch. Which is very cool. I also considered it...but I didn't like the rounded corners anymore, if it had the original square ones, then def! Also lack of blue. Picky! :)
