The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini were announced yesterday at Apple's “Hi, Speed.” October event. Interested parties have to wait a little longer before they are available to buy. Until then, you will find the technical data from the iPhone 12 (mini) data sheet and the prices of the individual models here.
Chapter in this post:
Apple iPhone 12 (mini) specifications
So that you not only get two individual overviews, but also have a direct comparison, I have compared the technical data of the smartphone duo in a table. Because basically it's the same hardware, just with two different display and device sizes. So apart from dimensions, weight and display, you won't see that many differences.

iPhone 12 (mini) battery life and charging options
The iPhone 12 is said to have enough battery capacity to provide up to 17 hours of local video playback, up to 11 hours of streamed video playback, or up to 65 hours of audio playback. With the iPhone 12 mini, the numbers look a bit smaller, of course: up to 15 hours of local and up to 10 hours of streamed videos or up to 50 hours of audio playback.
With Qi chargers, up to 7,5 watts of power can be used for wireless charging. MagSafe chargers, which also address the charging coil on the back of the iPhones, can be used with an output of up to 15 watts. Fast charging options result from the wired use of the Lightning connector. With a power pack that delivers 20 watts or more, up to 50% of the battery can be charged in 30 minutes.
The prices for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini
As always, the prices of Apple smartphones depend on their storage capacity. The three options 12GB, 64GB and 128GB are available for the iPhone 256 and its mini version. You can pre-order the iPhone 12 from October 16, 2020. You can pre-order the iPhone 12 mini from November 6, 2020.

If you already have an iPhone and want to exchange it when you buy the new model, you will get a discount. How high this is depends on your current iPhone and its equipment / condition. Financing is also offered on the Apple website. If you don't have a charger (which is unlikely), you should consider the cost of purchasing it. The same applies to headphones, as these are no longer included in the scope of delivery.
