SIM nano-SIM

Each SIM version is a separate device with its own price and stock. Switching keeps your condition, storage and colour when that version has them.

SIM versions

The SIM version decides which SIM cards an iPhone takes and how you set up your number. Here is what iPhone 12 mini on this page takes.

The version on this page

SIM types explained

nano-SIM
The SIM card from your carrier. It goes into a small tray on the side of the iPhone.
eSIM
A digital SIM. Your carrier activates it on the iPhone, with no card to insert or lose. An iPhone can keep eight or more eSIMs.
Dual SIM
Two numbers on one iPhone, for example personal and work: a SIM card with an eSIM, or two eSIMs on iPhone 13 and later.
Two nano-SIM cards
Versions made for mainland China, and on older models for Hong Kong and Macao too, with a tray for two SIM cards.

eSIM in the UAE

e&, du and Virgin Mobile UAE offer eSIM, and you can move your current number from a SIM card to an eSIM in their apps.

Each carrier sets its own steps and fees, so check in your carrier's app before you switch.

Check which version a phone is

On the iPhone, open Settings, then General, then About. Tap the number next to Model Number until it starts with A, then find it in the list above. An iPhone without a SIM tray is eSIM only.

    Description

    At about 135 g, iPhone 12 mini is a full iPhone you can use with one hand: a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR display, 5G, MagSafe and the A14 Bionic chip. It slips into a pocket, with two 12MP rear cameras and Face ID on board. Before we list it, we test its Face ID, cameras and wireless charging among more than 80 checks, and you get a 12-month 3ASH warranty.

    Why choose iPhone 12 mini?

    • 5G for faster downloads on networks that offer it.
    • MagSafe wireless charging, as on the larger iPhone 12.
    • Wide and Ultra Wide rear cameras, both 12MP, and a 12MP front camera.
    • Face ID, with support for iOS 27.

    How it compares

    If you would like Cinematic mode and the A15 Bionic chip in the same 5.4-inch size, iPhone 13 mini adds them, along with sensor-shift stabilisation on the Main camera.

    Our advice

    A phone this easy to carry tends to become the camera you always have with you, so choose 128GB rather than 64GB if you film a lot. If looks matter to you, the Excellent grade is close to new, with no visible scratches on the screen. Compare the grades.
