The iPhone 12 mini is the smallest, thinnest, and lightest 5G phone in the world. It features the A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, a new dual-camera system, and a brilliant Super Retina XDR display. The iPhone 12 mini packs big features into a 5.4-inch design. 5G enables the downloading of large files on the go and streaming of videos in the highest quality. It offers a brilliantly bright and compact Super Retina XDR display, Ceramic Shield with four times better drop resistance, incredible low-light photography with Night mode on all cameras, cinematic Dolby Vision HDR video recording, editing, and playback, a powerful A14 Bionic chip, and new MagSafe accessories for easy docking and faster wireless charging. That's big mini news.
The display has rounded corners. When measured as a rectangle, the display has a diagonal of 5.42 inches (13.76 cm). The actual visible display area is smaller.
The iPhone 12 mini is protected against water and dust and has been tested under controlled laboratory conditions. It is classified under IEC standard 60529 as IP68 (up to 6 meters for up to 30 minutes). The protection against water and dust is not permanent and may diminish over time as a result of normal wear and tear. A wet iPhone should not be charged.
