Is the iPhone 12 mini too small? Or too big? Coming from the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s and the iPhone SE (2016)

Ignore the cling wrap please LOL Having seen the iPhone 12/Pro in person, I am pretty convinced that without a case, the size of the 12/Pro is probably just nice for many people. Which bring the questions; Will the 12 mini be too small? Is this the real successor to the iPhone 5s size phones […]

With the removal of the Lightning EarPods and power adapter comes a reduction in pricing for some of Apple’s accessories, namely the fore-mentioned Lightning EarPods, the 20W USB-C power adapter (also the 5W USB A power adapter for the same 29 Singapore dollar price, which is a shitty deal) as well as the introduction of […]

Writing this after the 6.1 inches 12 and 12 Pro preorder day is over sounds counterproductive, but despite recent reports of Apple’s own predictions of which iPhone 12 will sell well, for the bulk of people who are likely to be early buyers, the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max are more […]
