I've had it for 3 years, still going strong.

I'd like the night mode shooting and the generally between camera.

The 12 Mini has a 5.4" screen - where my 8 Plus is 5.5 - so even the mini sounds good - even though its not as wide which makes typing harder.

I'd also like a lighter phone, the 12 Mini weights 4.76 ounces, and my 8 Plus weighs 7.13. The normal 12 weighs 5.78 so that's an option too. Hell the new iPhone SE weight 5.22 and that feels light.

So it might be the mini for me.

Only thing I'm really going to miss is the Touch ID button.
