APPLE’S iPhone 12 Mini is about to launch – and there’s a cracking deal for £30 a month already available.
The new pint-sized blower comes out on November 13 in the UK, and has already received rave reviews.

If you’re keen on the iPhone 12 Mini, there’s a great Mobiles.co.uk deal that saves you a few hundred quid.
It’s a Vodafone offer netting you 54GB of data to use every month.
Importantly, it’s 5G data – and the new iPhone 12 Mini also supports super-fast 5G speeds.
The deal includes unlimited minutes and texts, and costs £30 a month.

There’s a £235 upfront fee, bringing the total cost of the contract to £955 over 24 months.
That’s more expensive than the outright cost of the iPhone 12 Mini, which retails at £699.
But when you factor in the value of the SIM, you’re saving loads of money.
If you bought an iPhone 12 Mini outright, you’d still need to buy a SIM with data, minutes, and texts.
Vodafone’s closest SIM-only offer gets you 20GB of monthly data for £27 a month.
That adds up to £648 over two years, bringing your total spend to £1,347 when you factor in the cost of the phone.
So this Mobiles.co.uk deal saves you £392 over two years.

For years, small-handed folk have been begging Apple for a downsized iPhone that doesn’t compromise on performance.
As iPhone sizes have ballooned, you’ve generally had to accept having a worse mobile if you want a smaller display.
The iPhone 12 Mini changes all that completely.
Brilliantly, the mobile is entirely identical to the iPhone 12 proper except when it comes to raw dimensions – and price, of course.
You get the same powerful A14 Bionic processor and OLED screen, both of which appear on the far more expensive iPhone 12 Pro.
And the iPhone 12’s very impressive dual-lens camera makes an appearance too.
It supports 5G internet, so you’ll get super-fast mobile speeds if you have the right SIM card, and enter one of the growing number of 5G areas.
Even the squared-off design with the notched display is borrowed for the iPhone 12 Mini, keeping it in line with the iPhone 12.
But the screen is way smaller, measuring 5.4 inches diagonally from corner to corner.
That’s about 0.6 inches less than the iPhone 12, and more than an inch less than the gargantuan iPhone 12 Pro Max.
It’s a neat size – too small for me, as I’m a Max fan – but perfect for many.
Battery life is listed as a little lower versus the iPhone 12 on the Apple website, but I hardly noticed a difference.
It comfortably lasts a full day, which is the main metric you need to worry about.
And considering you get almost all the same features as the iPhone 12 Pro for £699/$699 (that’s £300/$300 less!), it’s a veritable steal.
The Sun says: A smaller iPhone that doesn’t compromise on performance, the iPhone 12 Mini is the dream mobile for tiny pockets and tinier hands everywhere. It’s even got 5G! 5/5
