Apple iPhone 12 mini taken apart, it’s a tiny iPhone 12

The teardown starts by raking off the screws at the bottom and removing the screen. There’s plenty of glue around the panel which requires steady hands and a pry tool. Once the screen is lifted, we see the internals headlined by the 2,227mAh battery cell. The battery is also the potential biggest downfall of the 12 mini as early reviews point out endurance is far from the level of the other 12-series models.
