If you miss the tiny, human-hand-sized iPhones 4 and 5, you’ll love the iPhone 12 mini. It’s bigger than the 5, but noticeably smaller and lighter than the rest of the iPhone line, while still being just as capable as the regular iPhone 12.

The iPhone 12 mini and 12 Pro Max release three weeks after the full-size iPhones, but they were worth the wait. The mini has the same OLED screen, the same fancy new cameras, and the same everything as the regular 12, just in a smaller package. The only difference is its smaller battery, which makes up about 85% of the battery in the bigger phone. So what’s it like?

Here’s the iPhone 12 mini next to an older iPhone 5. It’s noticeably bigger, but not by much. I’ve long wanted a phone the size of the iPhone 5, but with the edge-to-edge display of Apple’s X-series iPhones, the ones without the home button and without “forehead and chin”.

This is it, more or less, and it’s fantastic. You can reach every part of the screen with your thumb, so the phone is truly one-handed. If you have really big hands, you might struggle to type on the smaller screen, but if you managed it before phones got huge, you’ll get used to it pretty quickly. My hands are quite big and I have no problem with it.
