IFixit’s iPhone 12 mini teardown shows how well Apple fits into such a small device


Orders for the new iPhone 12 Mini are starting to arrive for customers, and iFixit’s team has teardown two parts from both the EU and US models – a little device to figure out how Apple could incorporate 5G hardware and common iPhone components.

The first thing you notice when looking at the interior images is the low battery in the Mini, which measures surprisingly well the same iPhone models, the iFixit finds, at 8.57W.

It is more interesting than the iPhone SE 2020’s 6.96 WH, but is understandably shorter than the 10.78 W78 stacked on top of it in Standard 12. However, it is less than the 10.78 of the iPhone 12’s battery.

Mini in all smaller versions include a tapetic engine, speakers and a Magsaysay ring to save space. But Apple will be able to fit a camera the same size as its iPhone models in the mini, which iFixit suggests could come at the expense of battery life – something. EdgeIn our iPhone Mini review we encountered Dieter Bohan.

The mini camera has the same ƒ / 1.6 wide-angle and ƒ / 2.4 ultra wide-angle camera found in the iPhone 12, showing teardown.

Overall, iFixit found the iPhone 12 Mini to be similar to its larger counterparts: “The iPhone 12 Mini is a small phone with big ambitions. Given the size difference between them, we’ve been amazed at how familiar the interior looks compared to other iPhones this year. “
