iPhone 12 mini price in India?

Hello

I would like to know the lowest price iPhone 12 mini has seen in India. I want to purchase the 64GB model of this phone in a few months. Would I be able to see sales in a few months? I would most likely purchase it on Amazon or Flipkart. Are there other places where it is cheap?

Is it a good phone to purchase at this time seen that it was released in 2020 but has A14 bionic chip. I think the iPhone 13 mini prices are too high so the 12 mini would be a nice bet.

Thanks

I think I have seen iPhone12 mini for 38k. Whatever you do on this phone, you will suffer from low battery issues. I was looking for a small form factor phone and almost bought this one, decided against buying because of bad reviews on battery backup.

Yeah I also remember once it went to 38,000/- it's still a little expensive for that price or maybe it's just because of the iPhone factor. Would like to buy one if it costs close to 30,000/- instead. I wanted a small form factor phone as well and I thought this was perfect. Except for the low battery issues there are no other complaints for this phone. It's also rated at excellent. If the battery can be used for a day then it's fine for me.

What other phone did you purchase? Are you happy with your decision.

To get a similar price again wait for October 2022, Festival Season.

I was also looking at iphone 12 but didn't feel like spending the high cost of 45k+ and also moving to iOS from android. It works well when we have multiple Apple devices at house, otherwise it's just really fancy phone. Another one which caught my attention was s21, but the heating issues of Exynos chipset and again the high cost came in picture. I was already set on not to spend above 35k just for a phone. So I ended up buying Moto G71 as temporary phone and wait for a small phone.

Moto G71 is BIG and HEAVY phone, add a phone case and it becomes hard to keep using with single hand.

Before October, there will be another sale in August, keep an eye on the prices closely and order as soon as price drops.

If you are considering other phones then please fill the questionnaire in detail about your requirements.

I'm about to decide between iPhone SE, 12 mini and 13 mini and the purchase will be from the USA. I'm sure the 12 mini prices would drop in India next time or even after the new 14 release but since I can get a phone now I won't wait. Which one out of these should I buy? I love small factor phones that give decent battery life and are easy to use one handed. Such phones are not available in the Android family. I have been using an iPhone since 2015 onward. Been on the iPhone 6 and then the 1st generation SE. Now I'm about to upgrade to a new phone.

These are my possible choices although I welcome larger phones like the mainstream 11, 12 or 13. So the SE costs $429, 12 mini costs $629 and 13 mini costs $729. I'm not a heavy user that plays games or takes too many photos or uses social media a lot. But I do require basic use from a phone to use the internet always and for apps. I just want a device that I can hold easily and put it in my pocket. I do watch streams like YouTube often and browse through apps on the internet. So I want a good battery life that can easily last for a day or two on both WiFi and data.

Would any of those minis be a value for money upgrade for me? I do have budget to buy the 13 mini but also want to make sure I buy the right phone that serves my needs for the lowest price possible.

Didn't know about this!

iP14 is around the corner, should make your decision then. (IMO)

Then there would be massive discounts on some of the small phones that I mentioned?

Irrespective of it, do not buy one which has lightning port.

I don't understand what's wrong with the lightening port.

universal ports, less chargers to be made , less e-waste it seems

Okay that makes sense. Yeah it's easier to carry a single charging cable around than for each device.

plus its in the process of being phased out. You do not want to get an obsolete device right now.

When will be phased out? I'm trying to purchase iPhone 13 mini right now since I love small compact phones and the mini will be the last one to be ever seen again. Would the next iPhone 14 series come without lightening port?

It is a 50-50 chance.
