    iPhone 12 mini versus iPhone SE: A world of difference for £160

    Apr 15, 2022 7 minutes
    Jason Cross and Michael Simon report

    While most of the phones you see on store shelves are six inches and above, Apple hasn’t forgotten about people who like small phones. It sells two different phones with small displays: The iPhone SE, which received a massive redesign in 2020 and an update in March 2022, and two models of the iPhone mini, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, which are about the same size as the SE. After the iPhone 13 launched in 2021, Apple dropped the price of the iPhone 12 mini by $100, bringing it to $629 ($599 through carriers) and moving it ever closer to the price of the iPhone SE. But now that the new iPhone SE is here, which small phone should you spend your money on?

    FEATURES AND SPECS

    Here are the top-line differences in features and specs between the two. There are plenty of smaller differences, but these features and specs will give you an idea of how they stack up against each other.
