iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini Performance
All four iPhone devices come with Apple’s latest in-house SoC which is the A14 Bionic. If performance is of top-most priority to you, both the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Mini will fair very well. The A14 Bionic offers better performance compared to the already very powerful A13 Bionic from last year along with support for 5G networks which is one of the bigger highlights of the new iPhone 12 series.
iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini Design and Build
While the core design and materials on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini are the same, one of the major differences between the two devices is also in this department. Both devices have an aluminium build with the new boxy design reminiscent of the new iPad Pro or even the iPhone 4S from a few years back. There’s glass on both the back and the front on both devices. The difference between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Mini comes in the form of the physical size which the moniker on the 12 Mini indicates. The difference in size is due to the difference in the displays on both phones which we will discuss in the next point.
iPhone and iPhone 12 Mini Display
Unlike previous generations where the iPhone 11 had an LCD display and the 11 Pro series had OLED panels, this time, Apple has decided to go with an OLED display on the entire iPhone 12 series this year which might please a lot of people. The iPhone 12 has a 6.1-inch display just like its predecessor, while the iPhone 12 Mini, just like the name would suggest, gets a smaller 5.4-inch display. If you like compact phones, you are surely going to like the iPhone 12 Mini as the overall form factor of the phone is expected to be even smaller than the iPhone SE launched earlier this year.

This is another department where both the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Mini share specifications.
