Despite its smaller size, in many ways the iPhone 12 Mini is still an upgrade over the iPhone XS Max. Notable iPhone 12 Mini improvements include 5G connectivity, faster A14 processor, ultra wide camera (vs the XS Max’s telephoto lens), Night Mode, Smart HDR 3, HDR video recording, more durable glass for better drop protection, 128GB storage option, improved water resistance, and MagSafe charging. Despite its smaller battery, the iPhone 12 Mini actually delivers the same battery life as the iPhone XS Max.
